5 - Troy Jones has reviewed the bicycle parking issue and concluded that due to the unique
circumstances of this carwash, no bicycle parking will be required.
6 - Yes, directional arrows will be used on the pavement in addition to small signs eg.
"exit only" to direct traffic flow. These are shown on the revised Site Plan.
7 - Done
8 - Done per revised Landscape Plan in coordination with the City Forrester.

auto bays is not needed per Gary Lopez, since PDP review is restricted to building
exterior.
We believe that this resubmittal response and the accompanying revised plans, material samples
and alternative compliance letter fully address all of the issues from the 10/26 Staff Project
Review. Please advise us of the status of the PDP application at your earliest convenience.

is that our vacuums will not add to any existing background noise @30-40 ft. from the
vacuum locations.
102 - Existing interior landscaping is 6% based upon the redline Site Plan drawing provided

and exits) as well as additional architecturally pleasing light fixtures.
106 - A sample of this glazed ceramic block is provided. The product is fire glazed at 2000

carwash, self serve bay walls continue to be shown for better building definition at these
locations.
90 - Additional labeling and dimensioning have been added to elements on both the Site and
Landscape Plans. In addition, the existing 5' sidewalk is shown with the improvement to
a 6' wide sidewalk.
91 - The 2'4" dimension below the street wall identifies the footer for the street wall.
Additional dimensions are now shown for the street wall to further clarify.
92 - Yes, this item was a vending station bolted to the wall with a stainless steel base. We
have now changed to a smaller "in -wall" mounted vending unit at this area, along with
in -wall mounted changers and credit card machines. These items are shown on the
revised Elevations.
93 - The soda machine has been relocated to the vending/equipment room area and is
screened with a partial wall.
94 - These sections have been removed from the revised Site Plan.
95 - 10' light poles are proposed at each of the two autocashier stations and are now shown
on the revised Elevations. 5 additional 20' light poles were added at the suggestion of
Mr. Joe Gerdom of the Fort Collins Police Department to provide additional security
lighting for the entrances and drive area. These five additional poles are shown on the
revised lighting plan.
96,97 - Please see the attached letter requesting "alternative compliance" under section 3.2.4
of the LUC.
98 - The specs for the fixtures mounted to the building walls are provided as an attachment
to the above alternative compliance letter. These lights are 100w incandescent fixtures
and we have added additional lights of this type on both the North and South ends of the
building to meet the 1 ft. candle standard for building surrounds.
99 - Please see the attached letter requesting "alternative compliance". We have had a
recent conversation with Mr. Doug Martine of City of Fort Collins Light and Power.
Doug stated his opinion that the sidewalks in the project area are well lit by existing street
lights. Per Mr. Martine, the average ft. candle reading in Troutman Pkwy. Is 1 ft. candle
with the range from high to low of 4 to 1.
100 - A revised lighting plan/photometric study has been submitted consistent with our
request for alternative compliance under 3.2.4 of the LUC.
101 - In response to a neighbors concern, we have conducted a decibel study for the
vacuums. The following decibel levels were recorded at a carwash in Greeley at specific
distances from the vacuums with two vacuums operating simultaneously:
At vacuum 87 db
30 ft. away 71 db
60 ft. away 65 db
100 ft. away 65 db
Because the recording device picks up all noise in the immediate area, it is not possible to
pinpoint ONLY the vacuum noise. However, it is apparent from the above data that once
you are more than 30 ft. from the vacuum, the vac noise has dissipated and the only
discernable noise is general background noise. As a reference, passing automobiles
average 70-75db and children playing in the backyard approx. 60-65db. Our conclusion

80 - Storm drainage presently flows into a pipe that empties into Ditch #2. We will
continue to use this pipe by diverting flows through a water quality structure prior to
being introduced into Ditch #2.
85 - The revised Site Plan is now at 1"=20' and is consistent with the scale for the landscape
plan. Access drive is now shown on the plan. In addition, features approx. 150' beyond
the site boundaries are identified at the request of City Engineering (Susan Joy).
86 - All surface materials are now labeled on the revised Site Plan.
87 - Landscaping has been removed from the revised Site Plan.
88 - A revised landscape plan has been included with this resubmittal which meets these
standards. We have spoken with both Mr. Cameron Gloss, Planning Director and Mr.
Tim Buchanan, City Forrester about planting distances for street trees related to electric
and gas lines. Our revised plan incorporates recommendations from Mr. Buchanan and
locates street trees closer than the suggested 4' min. based upon "current practice" as
described by Mr. Buchanan
89 - All interior building walls have been removed from the Site and Landscape Plans and
changes made to better identify building outline etc. Due to the unique nature of a
