are completed by others. Or, it may be determined that there are no anticipated impacts
as a result of this proposal.
11. The City is considering placing a funding source question before the voters this
November for transportation improvements. If passed, the LemayNine intersection
would become eligible for improvements.
12. Please be cautioned that any construction activity off -site will require an easement from
the property owner.
13. Lincoln is classified as a four -lane arterial. As such, development of the subject parcel
will require dedication of additional right-of-way so that there is 57.5 feet from centerline
of the roadway to property line. In addition, a 15-foot utility easement is needed behind
the right-of-way line.
14. The developer must design the public improvements associated with widening Lincoln.
The design must extend 1,000 feet beyond the property boundary.
15. The issue of the timing of the public improvements, whether to build concurrently with
development or place funds in escrow, will be made after review of the transportation
impact study.
16. The City of Fort Collins will begin re -constructing Lincoln next week. Therefore, any
new driveway or utility street cuts after re -construction will be penalized paying the fee
associated with new pavement. For further information, please contact Rick Richter,

17. Public improvements shall comply with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards.
One of these requirements is that driveways on arterial streets shall be separated by 660
feet.
18. Utility Plans will be needed at the time of submittal. A Development Agreement will be
required prior to recording final documents. A Development Construction Permit will be
required prior to beginning site work. For further information, please contact Susan Joy,
221-6605.
19. A sidewalk must connect Lincoln to the entrance of the building without crossing a
parking lot drive aisle. Secured bike parking should be located near the entrance. A
sidewalk should connect out to the Poudre River Trail.
20. Lincoln is designated as a transit corridor. Please contact Transfort to see if a bus stop is
warranted with this development proposal.
21. The Department of Natural Resources will require an Ecological Characterization Study.
The buffer zone for the Poudre River is 300 feet. The study should delineate any
wetlands and identify the existing trees. Native plants and grasses should be used in the
Ell
detention is not required except for water quality provided by extended detention. A
culvert is needed under the trail and the outfall at the river must be reviewed by Natural
Resources.
4. The primary issue is the delineation of the floodplain and floodway. The site is in the
"Product Corridor" of the Poudre River which carries unique regulations. There are
regulations for both the floodplain and floodway that will impact the proposed site
improvements. There are restrictions on outside storage. Please contact Marsha Flilmes-
Robinson; 221-6700 for further information.
5. There is an existing 16-inch water main in Lincoln and a 6-inch water main on the
westerly two-thirds of the site. There is an existing 27-inch sanitary sewer within an
easement on the north edge of the property then swings south along the east property line.
In addition, there is an 8-inch sewer line on the east edge of the site. All lines are
available to serve the site. Be sure that the sewer lines are placed within an easement so
that there is a minimum of 15 feet on either side of the line.
6. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply to the project.
Development fees, water rights and a repay for the 16-inch water main will be due at time
of building permit. The Water and Sewer Department of Fort Collins Utilities has
implemented a plan check fee. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington,
221-6681.
7. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. They will require that a fire hydrant
be within 300 feet of the building capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 gallons per
minute at 20 p.s.i. Addresses must be visible from public streets.
8. The access road to the building must feature no less than 25-feet inside and 50-feet
outside turning radii. Designated fire lanes must feature curbs painted red and "No
Parking — Fire Lane" signs. All portions of the building must be within 150 feet of the
fire access roadway. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570.
9. The Street Oversizing Fee will be $2.71 per square foot for the office portion of the
building, and $1.16 for the custom small industry (considered "light industrial') portion
payable at the time of building permit issuance. Keep in mind fees are adjusted annually.
In addition, the City collects the Larimer County Road Fee. For further information,
please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605.
10. A Transportation Impact Study will be required which will address all modes. Check
with Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to determine the scope of the study. Keep in mind that the
intersection of North Lemay and East Vine is approaching capacity and there are issues
with complying with the Adequate Public Facilities standard. Even though the long
range plan is to re -align Lemay to the east, interim improvements to this intersection may
be needed in the short range. If it is determined that there is no available capacity at this
intersection, the applicant can participate in improvements or wait until the improvements
