Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/30/2014 06/30/2014: Is there a handicap ramp proposed? Please show location if so. No handicap ramp is proposed, ground level garage space to be modified to accommodate handicapped needs/accessibility. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/30/2014 06/30/2014: The diagonal parking will require some of the spaces to "pass through" on to the adjoining lot as vehicles parked in the three spaces to the west of the designated "pass through" should not have to back up to through the lane to pull forward through the pass through. In addition the designated pass through area doesn't appear to be wide enough as a one way isle width should be at least 12'wide. Shared drive concept has been abandoned and pull through is therefore no longer necessary. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/30/2014 06/30/2014: The handicap space is insufficient in width. Even with one HC space it should be a minimum of 8' wide and another 8' of a hatched out area for access out and into a van. See changes made to site plan. It is believed that the foregoing addresses staff comments. If you could review and confirm that the matter is ripe to be scheduled for administrative hearing it would be appreciated. cc: Cameron Gloss Martina Wilkinson Karen McWilliams Sheri Langenberger Sincerely yours, MARCH, OLIVE & PHARRIS, LLC J. Brad March the walkway for people to get from their parking spaces to the front door? Shared drive concept has been abandoned. Applicant meeting scheduled with Mrs. Wilkinson on 8/15/14. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: Transportation Planning staff notes that the handicapped parking stall is in an awkward location (does it meet dimensional standards?). How will a wheel chair user get from this stall to a building entrance? See changes made to site plan. Breezeway is identified. Handicapped accessible space will be developed by turning garage into usable space with access from what is now the NW garage door. Handicapped access off of the space north of the existing garage space is not optimal with use of the existing 1312 drive.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: The shared driveway off College Avenue needs to function as an appropriate high volume drive that accesses a state highway. If it's being used for 2-way traffic, it would need to accommodate 2- way traffic for at least some distance from street. Shared drive concept has been abandoned. Applicant meeting scheduled with Mrs. Wilkinson on 8/15/14. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: Transportation Planning staff notes that the sidewalk along College needs improvements - although it can likely stay attached much like other properties in the area, it will need to be widened.

Mitigation would be required. Comment Number: 5 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: Comment Originated: The border around the spruces to retain along the south boundary should minimize any root excavation. It would be good to specify how that would be done. The permeable pavers used are very good treatment over roots. Minimizing any excavation into the root system will be an important part of their installation.\ Tree root interference/excavation will be minimized. Concerns with interference relative to the #3 and #4 spruce trees will be non-existent based on new parking scenario and continued use of 1312 drive. As noted, #2 Spruce may be removed, until removed root impacts will be taken into account.

The existing sidewalk in place along s. College is 4' wide. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: For the driveway closure: The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the closure (no cost). The driveway cut would need to be replaced along College Ave with vertical curb and gutter. The shared drive concept has been abandoned, it is understood that no access permit will be required for continued use of 1312 drive, this will be confirmed with Martina Wilkinson. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: For the shared driveway: CDOT would need to issue a new permit for the additional traffic to the existing access. The permit would be written to both property owners unless there's an easement or some other kind of document ensuring that the new business would have access. The shared drive concept has been abandoned, it is understood that no change of access joint access permit will be required for continued use of 1312 drive, this will be confirmed with Martina Wilkinson.

Two skyline Honeylocust 2.0 inch caliper could be labeled on the plan as the replacement trees. Will identify trees to be planted at later time, trees to be chosen from City approved list. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: Add the tree protection specifications found in LUC 3.2.1 G1-7 See site plan Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: Please provide a copy to the City Forester and project planner of the written aerial tree evaluation with recommendations that was discussed at the site meeting for the Cottonwood at the southeast corner and west most spruce.The aerial evaluation should be conducted by a licensed and certified arborist using a bucket truck or climber to examine the upper portion of these trees. The report can be used to determine what action should be taken on the spruce and cottonwood. If the spruce is recommended for removal then planting a replacement spruce in that area would help keep the original planting scheme. After the evaluation is complete the action that would be taken on these two trees can be finalized on the plan and its tree inventory. r further landscaping detail has been included. Comment Number: 5 07/16/2014 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014: Please show the pedestrian paths from the parking lot areas to entrances. This should include the breeze way. Parking areas have been modified based on the agreement that the 1312 drive will be retained. Parking at the southeast corner of the property is intended for employees who will access the property through the rear door at the south side of the breeze way or by passing through the breezeway. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Sheri Langenberger, 970-221-6573, slangenberger@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number:1 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: If the project is to be called March, Olive and Pharris LLC Law Offices then the plans need to contain this name as well. The project name and that contained on the plans needs to be consistent. See changes made to site plan. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: Additional right-of-way needs to be dedicated along the frontage of the property. I don't know exactly how much is to be dedicated, but want right-of-way so that there is 17 feet from the existing flowline of the street. The distance allows for the future parkway and detached sidewalk that is a part of the college avenue cross section. Additional 17' from flow line is shown on site plan. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: The existing sidewalk is narrow and can either be widened by adding onto this sidewalk (minimum addition is 4 feet in width) or the sidewalk can be detached along the property's frontage (6 foot detached). Either wa y we can work the sidewalk around the existing trees. The water meter pit at the southerly intersection of the 1312 drive and College Avenue is being relocated by the city, 3' to 6' further south. This allows the sidewalk to be widened by adding 2' south of the existing drive and avoids interference with the 1312 drive lane. See changes made to site plan. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: The shared driveway. Is this to be considered a one-way driveway? If not will probably need to widen the driveway some. Need an access that works and as shown the driveway is narrow for a 2-way driveway. The standard for a 2-way driveway is 24 feet minimum. What is the driveway width and what can be achieved? It is not very clear how the access will work and the parking for this site and the adjacent site will be accessed. As outlined, the shared drive concept has been abandoned. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 07/15/2014: Add the following note to the site plan. 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 in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The limits of the repairs will be identified in the field by the City Engineering Inspector prior to and over the course of the project and will not be shown on the plans.

College Avenue Dear Mr. Beals, This letter is accompanied by revisions to the site plan previously submitted to your office and intended to be revised in accord with your July 18, 2014, 1" review letter. The comments contained in the letter are addressed below to the degree they have not been clearly addressed on the site plan. As you now parking issues have been particularly problematic with this project. I understand that the City has determined that the use of the existing 1312 S. College drive will be allowed notwithstanding the 1978 recorded agreement. I have addressed this with Mrs. McCrery, the owner to the south and I have spoken with Paul about the potential of an amendment to that agreement to address the City Attorney's concerns. I have addressed concerns related to access below and have a meeting with Martina tomorrow to insure that traffic/engineering is ok with the revisions. I gather from Cameron that this matter is slated for administrative review and that a neighborhood meeting will not be required. Assuming that issues have been addressed we would like to get the matter to a hearing officer sooner vs. later. We will get you any additional filings you may need. If, after review of the letter and site plan, if you feel issues have been addressed, if you could schedule the matter in before the hearing officer it would be appreciated. Department: Planning Services Contact: Noah Beals, 970-416-2313, nbeals@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: I Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/14/2014: The trash enclosure needs to be designed with walk-in access without having to open the main service gate and located on a concrete pad at least 20ft from a public sidewalk. There is some potential that the owner of the 1318 College Avenue property will allow the joint use of the current trash enclosure. If this does not prove workable any trash enclosure built on the 1312 site will meet the outlined standards. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 07/16/2014: A land use table should be included on the site plan indicating the existing use and the new proposed use and a parking table (both vehicle and bicycle spaces). A table has been included on the site plan. Comment Number: 4 07/16/2014 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014: Is this a combined site and landscape plan? If so the landscaping should be included. In accord with initial conversations, this is intended as a combined site and landscape plan, r
