Light and Power

1. City Light and Power service terminates at the north end of your property. You can
either pull service from the existing transformer on the north end or bring service south
along your frontage, which would be more expensive. A listing of current development
fees was given to you at the meeting. Let me know if you have any questions.
2. Normal Development Fees will apply.
south of the proposed site. Also, a heads -up that this is a really "popular" prairie dog
colony --lots of folks are fairly attached to these animals.
3.4.1(6) Prairie Dog Removal Before the commencement of grading or other construction on the development site, any prairie dogs
inhabiting portions of the site within the L OD shalt be relocated or eradicated by the developer using city -approved methods asset forth
in Chapter 4 of the City Code and, when applicable, using methods reviewed and approved by the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

1. Addressing must be visible from the Red Cedar. Numerals must be at least 6 inches
high and a color which contrasts with the background to which they are affixed.
2. The parking lot needs to be designed to provide adequate access between the rows of
parking.
3. There is a fire hydrant at the site which can be used to service this property.
Stormwater
Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com
1. A portion of the site is currently in the FEMA 100-year floodplain. This site is expected
to be completely removed from the floodplain when the Dry Creek Physical Map
Revision is approved by FEMA. We expect this will be in June 2008.
2. However, until that time, a floodplain use permit will be required for any work done in
the FEMA 100-year floodplain.
3. The use of auto storage is allowed in the floodplain.
4. The floodplain admin contact is Marsha Hilmes-Robinson, 224-6036.
5. The proposed recycled asphalt will increase the runoff from the site even though it is not
totally impervious. In the Dry Creek basin the two-year historic release rate is 0.2
cfs/acre or show that the development can release storm water from the area into the
larger system without increasing the peak discharge in the larger system. Extended
detention is required to treat the runoff. A smaller onsite detention pond could be
designed for the increase of runoff from the recycled asphalt that could be expanded for
detention in the future. Another alternative is to design it now for future development to
prevent disturbance of the pond in the future.
6. There is a storm sewer in Red Cedar Circle that ends close to the common lot line of
the two lots but is on the west side of the street, if there is a need for a deeper outfall.
7. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they
must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
8. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek
Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.
9. The city wide development fee is $3,070.00/acre ($0.0705/sq.ft.) for new impervious
area over 350 sq.ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. If recycled asphalt
is used, the fee would calculated based on the runoff coefficient of the recycled asphalt.
If the site were to redevelop in the future, the fee would be credited toward the new
imperviousness of the site. This is usually due along with other building permit fees but
if there is no building permit, the Stormwater Utility would bill you directly. If there is a
separate process set up by another department for collecting fees it could be included
with them.
Water Wastewater
Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com
1. Existing mains: 8-inch water and 8-inch sewer in Red Cedar Circle.
2. If an irrigation water service is installed now and the site re -develops in the future, credit
will be given toward the water service needed for the redeveloped site.

proceeds through both the development review process and the building permit
process. Let me know if you have questions about the chart.
7. You will need to submit a combined site and landscape plan with lighting cutsheets (if
applicable) on it and a utility plan set with existing grading and details for public
improvements like the sidewalk. An exhaustive list of submittal requirements for this
type of project (Project Development Plan) is available at
http://fcgov.com/currentplanning/pdf/project-dev-plan.pdf. There is a submittal checklist
at http://fcgov.com/currentplanning/pdf/pdp.pdf. Your project is small and will not need
to provide everything on the list. Please let me know if you have any questions about
the requirements for your submittal.
8. You will need to set up an appointment to submit your application with the front counter
at 221-6750. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted.

meeting.
4. Red Cedar is classified as a major collector with a total of 66 feet of ROW. You are
required to dedicate 33 feet (1/2 the total from the centerline of Red Cedar) which
translates into an additional 3 feet of right of way beyond what is existing. You will also

that you must keep all structures including foundations out of the utility easement.
These dedications can be made by separate document for a few of $250 per dedication.

1. This site contains part of a small, active prairie dog colony. While it is not big enough to
trigger protection standards, you will need to remove the animals in accordance with the
standard, copied for your reference below, before grading. At this time, we know of no
one accepting prairie dogs for relocation. You'll also need to keep a watch out for
prairie dogs moving onto the site during construction since there are prairie dogs to the

1. The proposed use, 'outdoor storage' is permitted, subject to Administrative (Type 1)
review.
2. This type of use is not required to pave the parking lot. The recycled asphalt you
propose is acceptable and will allow you to count it as semi -permeable too for
stormwater fee purposes.
3. The fencing must be solid but must also have some articulation. The 20' sections with
columns will probably meet that requirement. We will review that detail in staff review.
