14. At least one more round of review for the project development plan is required before a
recommendation can be forwarded for a public hearing.
15. Section 2.2.11 of the Land Use Code requires that an applicant submit revisions based on this
letter within 90 days or the project application becomes null and void. Your responses to the City's
concerns are due by February 13, 2001. A 30-day extension to this deadline is available. Request
for an extension should be directed to the Current Planning Director. If remaining issues are those
that do not require plan revisions, a status report verifying continuing efforts toward resolving the
issues is required within the same timeline.
Additional comments and the required number of revised plans may be forthcoming as the various
departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request.
Please provide a written response to each of the above comments with the submittal of plan revisions. In
addition, a revised site development plan drawn to scale which is clearly dated and labeled shall be
submitted to address the above.
The burden of demonstrating compliance with all Land Use Code criteria is with the applicant. To facilitate
the complete re -submittal of the application with supplemental materials, please have your project manager
contact Ginger Dodge and/or Voneen Macklin of the Current Planning Department at 970.221.6750. Please

4. The plan sets need to include building envelope/footprint dimensions and distance to nearest
property lines as required by the City of Fort Collins Development Manual (see also Engineering
Comments).
5. All plans and illustrations shall include the appropriate verifiable scale, including the Overall Site
Plan. The overall site plan, site plan, and landscape plans shall utilize the same scale, as required
by the City of Fort Collins Development Manual. Please note, a scale of 1" = 80' is verifiable with
neither an engineer nor an architect's scale.
6. Please provide the size of the proposed antennae on the proposed plans.
7. As required per Land Use Code Section 3.8.13 has co -location on another existing or proposed
pole. Please note there are high voltage power poles in the near vicinity that could accommodate
a co -location potential for this proposal. Unless respective providers submit documentation, the
City prefers to see co -location in this instance.
a. Provide scaled elevations for all proposed structures (east, west, south and west facades), this
includes building material and color. Per Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.8.13(C)(2) and (3)
requires that wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment be consistent with the
architectural style of the surrounding architectural environment (planned or existing)
considering exterior materials, roof form, scale, mass, color, texture and character. Such
facilities shall also be compatible with the surrounding natural environment. If such facility is
an accessory use to an existing use, the facility shall be constructed out of materials that are
equal to or better than the materials of the principal use. It is not clear to staff if this facility
meets this code standard since the written narrative provided did not specifically cite Land Use
Code standards and finding of compliance to each standard and the drawings do not indicate
a design that is compatible with the surrounding area. If co -location is not possible, a more
appropriate height may be 40 — 50 feet based on the surrounding built environment.
8. Per LUC Section 3.8.13(C)(4), please provide the required landscape plan meeting Land Use Code
provisions.
a. Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a) of the LUC requires that trees be planted every 25' between parking lots
and the street, and every 40' between parking lots and interior lot lines (including the access
drive). Upon review of the proposed site plan, the landscape areas between the curbs and
property lines and streets and the side property lines and areas between the property line and
parking areas have not satisfied this requirement.
b. Plant sizing to meet land use code provisions as outlined in LUC 3.2.
c. Section 3.2.1(E)(2)(d) of the LUC requires foundation -planting beds a minimum of 5 feet wide
along at least 50% of all high -use or high -visibility facades. It appears proposed landscaping
is outside of the lease area, please provide documentation on how this development intends to
maintain such.
9. Per LUC Section 3.8.13(C)(5) fencing can not exceed six (6) feet in height.
10. Per LUC Section Sections 3.5.1(F), 3.5.1(G) and 3.8.13(C)(8) please provide notation on plan
sheets of all proposed color(s) (color chips) to verify that all wireless telecommunication facilities
and equipment are painted to match as closely as possible the color and texture of the wall,
building or surrounding built environment. Muted colors, earth tones and subdued colors are to be
used.
11. Per LUC Section 3.8.13(C)(11) verification shall be submitted that access roadways are capable of
supporting all of the emergency response equipment of the Poudre Fire Authority (see Engineering
Comments).
12. All utilities shall be placed underground and the applicant/developer is to acquire all necessary
access corridors/easements to facilitate such (see Zoning and Light & Power Comments).
13. Please return all redlined documents with plan revisions, including redlined plans with Current
Planning comments.
