System modification charges and development charges may.apply. Contact Light and Power Engineering, 970-221-6700, if the electric service needs to be upgraded or modified. 2. The existing electric line runs in between the museum and the arts center to the West. It is recommended that this line is located and show on the utility plans to identify possible conflicts. Current Planning Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com 1. If there is any missing segment of public sidewalk along Lake Street, such segment would need to be constructed with this project. 2. Please give some consideration to the revisions to the dog park entrance and how such revisions would integrate with the new expansion. 3. Please indicate how the ori-street parking would be adjusted with the proposed relocation of the access . driveway. 4. At the time of submittal for the Site Plan Advisory Review, and in reference to the existing trees that are to remain and be protected, please add the standard tree protection notes to the Landscape Plan. These notes are found in Section 3.2.1(G) of the Land Use Code. 8. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Spring Creek Basin Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com 1. The information provided did not include a seed mix - please ensure that Crested Wheatgrass or Smooth Brome are not included in the mix. Otherwise, no comments. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Andrew Gingerich, 970-221-6603, agingerich@fcgov.com 1. Larimer County Road Impact Fees and Street Oversizing Fees are due at the time of building permit. Please contact Matt Baker at 224-6108 if you have any questions. 2. The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For additional information on these fees, please see: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php 3. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. 4. Please contact the City's Traffic Engineer, Joe Olson (224-6062) to schedule a scoping meeting and determine if a traffic study is needed for this project. In addition, please contact Transportation Planning for their requirements as well. 5. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at: http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/UrbanSt.htm 6. There is sidewalk, curb gutter and handicap ramp work proposed within the public right of way. A civil utility construction set will be required for review of these improvements and need to conform to the City of Fort Collins Standards and Specifications. 7. The driveway apron proposed off of Lake Street needs to be constructed to our standards and built with concrete from the street gutter back to the Right of Way line. 8. No more than 750 square feet of drainage may flow out the private proposed private driveway, please plan accordingly. If sidewalk is to be replaced as a part of Bid Alt 12 than the sidewalk chases will need to be reconstructed to our most recent detail with tapered sides. 9. The proposed colored concrete of the plaza appears to extend into the right of way. This concrete must be built at a minimum to our standards and specifications. 10. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com 1. It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit. 2. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet a drainage report, erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must address the four -step process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities need to be prepared by the drainage engineer. If there is less than 1,000 square feet of new impervious area on an existing development, a drainage letter along with a grading plan should be sufficient to document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. If there is less than 1,000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control plan is required instead of -a complete construction plan set. 3. When improvements are proposed to an existing developed site and there is an increase in impervious area greater than 1000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 1000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area, a site grading plan is required along with the impervious area documentation. 4. Fifty percent of the new site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guidelines-regulati ons/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. 5. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements went into effect March 11, 2013. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new impervious area and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. Please contact Basil Harridan at 224-6035 orbhamdan@fcgov.com for more information. There is also more information on the EPA web site at: http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/green/bbfs.cfm? goback=.gde_4605732_mem ber_219392996. 6. The drainage ouffall for the site is either the surrounding streets or there is a storm drain line in Lake St. that would provide a deeper ouffall if needed. 7. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.-ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.-ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-fees or contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area, cost of the measures, or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual.

The majority of the expansion would occur to the east of the existing structure. The museum expansion will utilize a site plan advisory review (SPAR) with the Planning & Zoning Board. Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referenced above. The comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will assist you in preparing the detailed components of the project application. Modifications and additions to these comments may be made at the time of formal review of this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review process, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Ted Shepard, at 970-221-6343 or tshepard@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this area include an 8-inch/4-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer in Lake. 2. The existing water service to the building is.a 11/2-inch service. 3. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Information on these requirements can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/standards 4.
