Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2013 10/14/2013: A 15 foot wide utility easement is required along Shields St. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2013 10/14/2013: A portion of the Light & Power electric development fees is based on the area of the lot and the length of property adjacent to a dedicated City street. Even if no additional power is required, these charges will apply. Other governmental entities are not exempt from these charges. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/14/2013 10114/2013: A landscape plan showing streetlights along Shields St. was sent to OZ Architecture on 10-14-2013. These lights need to be shown on the landscape plan and street tree locations adjusted to provide a minimum of 40 feet clearance between the tree and the light standard (15 feet if the tree is an ornamental type).

Page 3 of 4 Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/30/2013: The project should be creating a civil construction plan set that would be a City approved for construction set. This set should ideally encapsulate both the parking lot portion and the building(s) as part of the next SPAR process. The civil construction set should have grading and any utility information along with City approval blocks. Any public (City) improvements would have associated notes and details. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/30/2013: The grading and drainage plan sheet seems to imply some sort of reworking of curb and gutter and sidewalk along Shields Street. Please clarify the intent; I'm assuming that the curb and gutter and sidewalk is to remain. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970.224.6143, lex(&fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/3012013: Lighting — Please extend the photometric plan to the top of the bank or include the buffer line on the plan set. Please illustrate how there is no lighting spilling over into the buffer zone. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/30/2013: ACOE permit — Can the City be provided a copy of the ACOE permit once it is available? Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10130/2013: Grading — it is difficult to tell on the grading plan how the natural berm on the south irrigation canal will be kept in place — can the existing berm be left in place to the maximum extent feasible? Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 1013012013: Landscaping - -Please provide the labeling of top of bank on the north side of the south irrigation ditch; -If the ditch company needs 15' of space on this side for maintenance, please illustrate that area as well. Between the parking lot and 15' maintenance area, please increase the buffering between the parking lot and the ditch through increased trees and shrubs. -Also, it is difficult to assess which species are which from the submitted landscape plan — are there native plants proposed or exotic species within the buffer zone? -Are there trees within the proposed detention area that can be preserved? What is the seed mix proposed for this area? Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/30/2013: Tree Maintenance - The majority of the value of the wildlife corridor is in the large, mature trees and woody debris that is left on the site. As FRCC maintains the trees in this area, can woody debris be left on the site? In addition, can FRCC work with their naturalist program to ensure that tree maintenance does not affect nesting species? Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/30/2013 10/30/2013: ECS Update — can the ECS please document the date of the site visit and comment on whether the Xcel construction staging area would impact the ECS recommendations or findings? Has the author checked with the FRCC Naturalist program regarding raptor's nest? They may have additional information on this issue.

It also notes that 395 parking spaces are proposed but the narrative says 415, which is correct? Please revise accordingly. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/29/2013 10/2912013: According to Section 3.2.1(E)(5) of the Land Use Code (LUC), the parking lot needs to provide 10% of the interior area as landscaping. Please provide analysis of your interior landscape area according to this section an the following standards (3.2.1(E)(5)(a-c). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/29/2013 10/29/2013: It is unclear what material is being proposed in the interior landscape islands, are they sidewalks or turf or other? The parking lot needs to be broken up into smaller lots (< 200 spaces) by landscape areas per Sec. 3.2.2(E)(6)(a). Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/2912013 10/2912013: It is unclear how much the light spills off the site because the footcandles are absent at about 10' from the edge of the parking lot.
