Yours Truly, Steve Olt City Planner cc: Susan Joy Bob Paterson Current Planning file Page 11 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 40 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Water and wastewater service in this area are provided by the ELCO Water District and the Boxelder Sanitation District. Understood. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 5/ 13/2009 [5/13/09] The Enclosed Mini Storage and RV, Boat and Truck Storage uses are allowed in the I zone subject to Type I Review. Understood. Number: 2 Created: 5/13/2009 [5/13/09] The RV and boat storage is considered to be outdoor storage. Per Section 3.5.1(1)(2) and 4.28(E)(3)(b)(1) the storage must be screened from adjacent properties and public streets. The 8' high fence is shown to enclose only a portion of the site. It needs to be continued to screen the rest of the outdoor storage. The Environmental Department would prefer that the fencing not wrap the entire storage area. Number: 3 Created: 5/ 13/2009 [5/13/091 An 80' landscape yard is required where the property abuts the LMN zone (Section 4.28(E)(3)(a)(3) on the west. The 80' buffer is also required along the south if the County zoning of the property to the south is a zone that is predominantly characterized by residential uses as permitted uses.. Only a 30' buffer is required along the north where it abuts the LMN zone since Vine Street separates the zones. Buffer yards as defined are provided. Number: 4 Created: 5/ 13/2009 [5/13/091 Question #12 asked by the applicant deals with lighting. Specifically, the question seems to be whether or not they're required to provide lighting in the outdoor storage areas. The answer is that they're not required to provide lighting if they believe they don't need it for security. Understood. Number: 5 Created: 5/ 13/2009 [5/13/09] Is there going to be a trash dumpster area? If so, show on site plan and provide a trash enclosure to screen it. No trash area will be provided. Number: 6 Created: 5/ 13/2009 [5/13/091 I assume the office is located in the building nearest the parking. Label the office location on the plan if it isn't already. Page 10 Number: 32 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] The habitat enhancement portion of the approved Cooper Slough Master Plan must be followed for this project.

Such signage will be provided. Number: 34 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] The Floodplain Administration contact for this site is Brian Varrella at 416-2217. We have met with the Floodplain Administrator. Number: 35 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. This is provided. Number: 36 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] When there is an increase in impervious area greater than 1000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. Understood. Number: 37 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs). Some of the methods do require percolation which may work on this site considering the proximity to Cooper Slough; therefore, percolation tests are suggested. Understood. Number: 38 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Boxelder/Cooper Slough Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. Understood. Number: 39 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. So noted. Page 9 Understood. Number: 25 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] The majority of the property is in the FEMA-designated Cooper Slough floodplain. There is both floodway and flood fringe on the site. Understood and mapped. Number: 26 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Non-residential construction and outdoor storage is allowed in the flood fringe. Any structure must have the lowest floor and all HVAC and electrical equipment elevated or floodproofed 18 inches above the 100-year flood level, also know as the Base Flood Elevation or BFE. Understood. Number: 27 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Non-residential use is only allowed in the floodway if no -rise can be shown and certified by a registered Professional Engineer licensed to practice in Colorado. Any structures, outdoor storage materials (including vehicles), landscaping and fencing must be included in the analysis. Understood. Number: 28 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Fencing in the floodway is prohibited unless the fencing is designed to break away and is cabled to prevent floatation offsite. As an alternative, the new fence may be designed with a flap or opening for areas at or below the BFE to allow the free passage of floodwater. Any opening or flap on fencing in the floodway may not be blocked, obstructed, or otherwise modified at any time. Understood. Number: 29 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Critical facilities are not allowed on the site. Any waste facility for the RVs must be out of the floodplain. No waste facility is proposed. Number: 30 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Each structure and site element in the floodplain will require a floodplain use permit and $25 permit fee. If any floodplain modeling is done to show no -rise, the permit fee is $325. Understood.

(Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 2006 International Fire Code 505.1 Understood. Number: 22 Created: 5/22/2009 PROPERTY ACCESS: I recommend that a Knox Box be installed at the locked entry gate, to ensure emergency apparatus have access to the property. Keypad combinations often are changed without informing PFA, which means we potentially would have to force entry to the site. PFA sells Knox Boxes at cost. Knox Box entry will be provided. Number: 23 Created: 5/22/2009 ANSWER TO PDR QUESTION: PFA does not require fire lane completion or fire hydrant operation until buildings go vertical. Understood. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Glen Schlueter Topic: Stormwater Number: 24 Created: 5/22/2009 [5/22/09] Comments 26, 27, and 28 address the questions asked in the letter from Hattman Associates, dated May 1, 2009, numbers 4, 7, and 9. In summary there can be "no -rise" caused by anything placed in the "floodway", and the elevation criteria of 18 inch is measured from the 100 year water surface elevation instead of the existing ground. Question 8 asked if "even parking in the floodway needs to be taken to the "Flood Board"? The Water Board (not Flood Board) would be involved if a variance is requested from the floodplain requirements, but the challenges at this site can be resolved without a variance. The reply to Question 11 is that a flared conduit can be used: however, there are other methods that have less of an impact. This would be considered during the design/review process by your design engineer along with Stormwater staff and the Environmental Planner.

These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. 2006 International Fire Code 508.1 and Appendix B. Understood.

In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: ❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. ❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. ❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane (30 feet on at least one long side of the building when the structures is three or more stories in height).
