Please check with the Building Inspection Department regarding the new six foot brick fence with the two -foot metal extension. This may be considered an eight foot fence in which case a separate building permit would be needed. 5. The project will be reviewed by the criteria of Section 3.8.6(D). Please inform us if you are aware of any other group home or shelter within 1,500 feet of the proposed facility. If there is such a facility within 1,500 feet, then a Modification of Standard would be required. 6. Will there be any additional exterior security lighting? If so, please describe the location, type of fixtures, wattage and other details. Lighting will be reviewed for providing safety on the property but without any light spillage onto adjoining properties. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.

Number: 4 Created: 4/27/2009 [4/27/09] The change of use requires the gravel parking lot to be brought into compliance with 3.2.2 and 3.2.1 of the LUC. This means it will have to be hard surfaced, interior parking lot landscaping, perimeter parking lot landscape (1 tree every 40'), etc. Number: 5 Created: 4/27/2009 [4/27/09] The site plan indicates that the Parker St. sidewalk doesn't go the entire length of the lot along Parker.

Show dimensions of drive -aisle widths (24' required at 90 degree stall, 20' at parallel stalls, and 24' behind the 2 stalls next to the southwest corner of the building). Comments from Current Planning 1. The continued use of the gravel parking lot will require a Modification of Standard to Section 3.2.2(D)(3)(c). Please refer to Section 2.8.2(H) on the criteria by which a Modification may be reviewed. Is it possible to demonstrate that there will be less parking at this facility than the previous use? Do clients bring cars to store on the property during their time at the facility? If so, are these cars used on a daily basis or would you consider these cars to be temporarily stored on the property? These factors may be important in considering the Modification. 2. Engineering's comments regarding not completing the sidewalk to the west property line along Parker Street are clear. But, does the same apply to not completing the sidewalk to the south property line along Whedbee Street? 3. For cars exiting onto Whedbee Street, is seven feet wide enough for larger vehicles such as trucks and S.U.V.'s? Paee 4 protection equipment and equipment location, shall be constructed of durable materials, permanently installed and readily visible. 2006 International Fire Code 510.1 Number: 23 Created: 5/8/2009 REQUIRED ACCESS: Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed within the PFA's jurisdiction when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: F Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. 7 Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. F Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane (30 feet on at least one long side of the building when the structures is three or more stories in height). If the building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic fire -sprinkler system, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet. 2006 International Fire Code 503.1.1, 503.2.3, 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D Number: 24 Created: 5/8/2009 ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum six-inch high numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 2006 International Fire Code 505.1 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 10 Created: 5/5/2009 [5/5/09] The Stormwater requirements will depend on the outcome of the modification of standard to not pave the parking lot. If the parking lot were to be paved, quantity detention would absolutely be required. Parking lot detention up to one foot in depth is allowed. Number: 11 Created: 5/5/2009 [5/5/09] If the widening of the sidewalk is not to be constructed now, than quantity detention would not be required. If the sidewalk is to be widened with this project, quantity detention may be required. A discussion would need to take place if detention could be provided within reasonable terms. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number: 3 Created: 4/27/2009 [4/27/09] The "New Zoning" in the Land Use Breakdown on the cover sheet needs to be changed to "New Use" and reflect the actual use, which is "Shelter for victims of domestic violence". Pne 3 Number: 17 Created: 5/8/2009 [5/8/09] Another round of review prior to hearing will be required if the modification to allow the existing gravel parking is not approved. If it IS approved, I can get by with an informal round of review if no other department is requiring a formal round. Number: 18 Created: 5/8/2009 [5/8/09] From Technical Services: Please add a legal description to the site plan. Number: 19 Created: 5/8/2009 [5/8/09] There were two variance requests submitted to Engineering - one for stormwater requirements and the other to allow for gravel parking. Unfortunately, engineering does not have the ability to approve either one of them. Please see Wes Lamarque in Stormwater and Peter Barnes in Building and Zoning respectively. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric Utility Number: 1 Created: 4/23/2009 [4/23/09] Assuming that no changes are required to the existing electric utility system OR the electric service to the building, there will be no charges from Light & Power. If changes are required, please contact Light & Power Engineering at (970)221-6700. Number: 2 Created: 4/23/2009 [4/23/09] If the planned P.V. canopies will be capable of feeding power into the electric grid, please contact Norm Weaver at (970)416-2312 for the required application and permit procedure. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 20 Created: 5/8/2009 ACCESS/MEANS OF EGRESS: Please contact me so we can coordinate your need for security, with emergency services' need for access. We can certainly make the two needs co -exist. Also, I need to know how exiting occurs through the courtyard. Is there an exit from the courtyard, directly to the exterior of the building? There does not appear to be on the site plan, but the actual building does appear to have direct access. Please contact me to discuss. Number: 21 Created: 5/8/2009 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM(S): The fire -sprinkler system must have been inspected within the past six months. Also, is there a commercial kitchen with a hood/duct extinguishing system? Fire -suppression systems must meet current requirements of the 2006 IFC. Number: 22 Created: 5/8/2009 FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT: Fire protection equipment shall be identified in an approved manner. Rooms containing controls for air-conditioning systems, sprinkler risers and valves, or other fire detection, suppression or control elements, shall be identified for the use of the fire department. Approved signs required to identify fire PLig," I A �„ STAFF PROJECT REVIEW C'h, of Fort Collins Date: 5/12/2009 Staff has reviewed your submittal for Crossroads Safehouse PDP Type II, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: General Number: 15 Created: 5/6/2009 [5/6/09] As you work through the renovation of the interior, consider the various programs and services for green building offered through the Utilities Department. The following link will provide you with information on specific programs: hftp://www.fcgov.com/greenbuilding/home/existing_programs.php. Also, Doug Swartz (221-6719) is a good contact person to talk to regarding energy efficiency solutions. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 12 Created: 5/6/2009 [5/6/09] Please see Appendix E4 for the required items that must be shown on the plan sets prior to going to hearing (they are highlighted in yellow; the rest of the checklist is due in Final Compliance). We are mostly concerned with showing and labeling the existing row, easements, existing features (sidewalks, driveways, etc) along the street frontages. We can talk a little more after the meeting this morning ok? :) Number: 13 Created: 5/6/2009 [5/6/09] Please coordinate your sidewalk requirements with Matt Wempe in Transportation Planning and myself just so I know what needs to be shown on the plans. It may be necessary to dedicate either additional row or an access easement to the back of the sidewalk depending on where the existing row falls. Number: 14 Created: 5/6/2009 [5/6/09] This development is responsible for constructing the sidewalk where none currently exists on this property, however, it was determined that in this case, it really wouldn't benefit the neighborhood by constructing it at this time. It has been agreed that this development will provide cash in lieu of the additional sidewalk to the west. An estimate for our review and approval is due in Final Compliance and that amount will be added to the development agreement and due prior to the issuance of the building permit. Number: 16 Created: 5/8/2009 [5/8/09] It was determined that the existing 1' widening of the sidewalk along Parker would be removed and a 4' extension would be put in its place. The sidewalk would then taper to match the existing width at the corner and no widening of the existing sidewalk along Whedbee would be required. The existing timber retaining wall will be removed as well as the concrete wall extending into the row along the south side of the driveway. In addition, a minimum of 25' of the driveway from the r.o.w. will be paved or put in concrete to minimize drag -out over the sidewalk and street. Page 1
