Page 3 City Comments (dated 03/31/06) ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer Topic: General Number: 6 Created: 3/20/2006 [3/20/06] See the Building Department comment sheet for Building Code details. Acknowledged Number: 7 Created: 3/20/2006 [3/20/06] It appears that the existing garage and carports are going to be used for additional parking. If this is the case, you have exceeded the maximum number of spaces allowed for a general office use. Please indicate on the site plan if the garages are for storage only. Otherwise you will need to pursue an exception to the General Office Parking Standard, per Section 3.2.2(K)(4). Acknowledged. The existing garage will be used for storage purposes. A lane to the garage is provided for access to storage area. The carport will not be used for vehicular purposes. Number: 8 Created: 3/20/2006 [3/20/06] How high is the proposed retaining wall on the west property line? What sort of materials are going to be used? And the fence above the retaining wall? See Grading Plans for details on curb wall. The highest point on the curb wall is 1'-0". This grade difference is not next to the drive. The grade change occurs on the west side of the curb to meet existing grade. The curb wall will be concrete. The fence will be disassembled before construction of the curb wall. Once the curb wall has been constructed the fence will be reinstalled on the low side of the wall, along the property line. Number: 9 Created: 3/20/2006 [3/20/061 Please plant a landscape buffer along the east side of the walkway (across from the parking stalls) to screen/shield the cars' headlights for the neighbor to the east. Acknowledged. Landscape screen has been added to plans for parking area. Number. 10 Created: 3/22/2006 [3/22/06] Rick Lee (Building Department): Please find attached the various codes that the Fort Collins Building Department will enforce. The information submitted is very limited and we require that a pre -submittal meeting be scheduled before the Construction Documents proceed too far. For a change of occupancy (residence to office) the more challenging code components are accessibility and structural capability. We need to get into the building with a wheel chair and use a toilet room. The first parking stall shall be van accessible which has an eight foot load -isle not the five feet that you have indicated. The maximum slope for a ramp is 1:12 or one foot of ramp for every inch of rise. You may want to consider the back door to be the accessible route using a sloped walk (1:20) rather than a ramp. Acknowledged. The ADA parking stall has been changed to incorporate van accessibility. A study has been done to determine the feasibility of access to the rear door. Ramp access to the front door seems to be a better approach because it is integrated with the proposed walls so that visibility of the ramp is hidden along the front fagade of the house. There is also more room to allow proposed grades on the ramp to achieve a maximum of 8% grade, allowable by Federal ADA regulations. See Grading Plans.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. We have also included 5 copies of the revised plans for your review. We met with Susan Joy on April 61h to discuss her comments.
