The standard drainage and erosion control reports and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. 11. Onsite extended detention is required to treat the runoff. Water quantity detention release rates are 0.2 cfs/acre for the 10 year storm and 0.5 cfs/acre for the 100 year storm. However, the design engineer may want to evaluate whether the site drainage can beat the peak of Mail Creek or is some how mitigated by the on -stream ponds in Fairway Estates. 12. In addition to the Project Development Plan, the property will need to be platted. 13. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. To determine the scope of this study and which intersections to analyze, please contact Eric Bracke or Ward Stanford, 221-6630.

For further information regarding access, please contact David Averill, Transportation Planner, 416-2643. 16. The City and CDOT are presently in the process of transferring jurisdiction of Harmony Road from the State to the City. In the City, the roadway is classified as a major arterial street. This means there would ultimately be three lanes of traffic in each direction. Development of this parcel may have to dedicate additional right-of-way and utility easements for this roadway classification. It is unknown at this time whether a right -turn lane will be needed to serve the property. For further information, please contact Marc Virata, Development Review Engineer, 221-6605. n recyclable materials. It is recommended that they be placed on concrete pads. 5.

The site will be served electricity by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department. Three-phase electrical power is available to the west, on the south side of Harmony Road at College Avenue.

For an estimate of the 2005 charges, please refer to the handout. 7. A Commercial One ("C-1 ") Form must be completed by -an electrical contractor to determine entrance capacity for each building. The location of the electrical transformers must be coordinated with Light and Power and Current Planning so that they are not located along the roadway, but, rather, in a less visible location yet within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change -out. Electrical meters should be on the opposite side of the building as the gas meters. A utility coordination meeting is recommended to ensure the proper separation from other utilities. For further information, please contact Bruce Vogel, 221-6700. 8. The site is located within the service territory of the Fort Collins Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District. For further information, please contact Terry Farrill, 226-3104. 9. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority.

An automatic fire extinguishing system will be required and must be provided by a six-inch diameter fire line. Since the building is three stories, the emergency fire access lane must be a minimum of 30 feet along one side of the building, with minimum turning radii of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. This lane must be platted or dedicated as an emergency access easement. For further information, please contact Mike Chavez, 221-6570. 3 E,wj SR y 1177N lfv b.
