Show the overall building height on the plans. Label the building materials and colors. Label the roof pitch on the plans. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/25/2014 06/25/2014: The property is in the NCB zone. The location of the proposed addition complies with the current setback standards for the NCB zone. The legal front lot line of the property is along Westward Drive, which is the side on which the primary entrance is located. The current code requires that new construction be a minimum 60' setback from the front lot line (Westward) and the addition complies. This comment is consistent with information given to the applicant at the time of his subdivion plat submittal in 2009/2010. A code amendment to the NCB setback standards is scheduled for second reading on July 1, 2014, and will go into effect on July 11, 2014. However, since the development application was submitted prior to the effective date of the code change, the standards in effect on June 24, 2013 will apply.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/25/2014 06/25/2014: Some of the data in the Site Data table needs to be changed. The max FAR allowed is actually 22,836 (1 x 22,836). Add a line for the future 1600 sf. addition. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/25/2014 06/25/2014: A 6' tall solid fence is required along the west lot line adjacent to the parking area.

Without specifics on the proposed use, number of staff and attendees, number of events etc. its difficult to determine whether a review of traffic is appropriate. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/01/2014 07/01/2014. Its very helpful to have the access on Shields removed and the access relocated to the local street. That's a substantial improvements. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/01/2014 07/01/2014: Is this the type of review that would trigger adjacent street improvements, such as ROW dedication, detached walks, and directional curb ramps? Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/01/2014 07/01/2014: What is the parking situation?

An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: . If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 5,000 square feet a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must address the four -step process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities need to be prepared by the drainage engineer. If there is less than 5,000 square feet of new impervious area on an existing development, a drainage letter along with a grading plan should be sufficient to document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. If there is less than 5,000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: When improvements are being added to an existing developed site onsite detention is only required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. If it is greater, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.

Building plan reviews shall be subject to the adopted version of the fire code in place at the time of plan review submittal and permit application. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/30/2014 06/30/2014: FIRE LANES The proposed drive aisle on the west side of the property will also need to serve as emergency access. Fire lane specifications provided below. IFC 503.1.1: Fire Lanes shall be provided to within 150' of all portions of the building, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. When fire lanes cannot be new driveway ont. estward (along with any other infrastructu, cork in right-of-way that's unknown at this time), would require either a Development Construction Permit, or an excavation permit from the City prior to any work. Final determination of the required permit will be made upon verification on the extent of the public infrastructure. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: The plans are not consistent in terms of the presenting building coverage (existing, proposed, to be demolished, future, etc.) and should be coordinated. If the site plan intends to show the "future 1,600 square foot addition" as being not subject to any additional review in the future, then the applicant would need to provide additional TDRF monies for the square footage of that future building at this time. Otherwise the indication of the future building would need to have added "subject to a new basic development review application and review at that time" to that future note. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: Information provided by stormwater in their requirements may require that civil drawings be prepared for the project by a licensed civil engineer in the state. Further verification should be made on the information they need to process. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: Additional notes and design details would need to be provided. Upon verification in coordination with Stornwater on whether a civil drawing is ultimately required or not, the type and placement of the notes and design details can then be finalized.

This plan should identify all existing significant trees as to species, size, condition and if needed mitigation. It should also provide mitigation trees determined in the evaluation. Comment Number: 2 07/10/2014: Comment Originated: 07/10/2014 Evaluate the perimeter parking lot requirements in LUC 3.2.1 to see if additional trees need to be added on the west boundary of the parking lot. Existing off site spruce trees may limit some tree planting in this area. Comment Number: 3 07/10/2014: Comment Originated: 07/10/2014 Edit the tree protection notes to include all of the notes found in LUC 3.2.1 G 1-7.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/10/2014 07/10/2014: Using Skyline Honeylocust along Shields would be a better choice than Linden due to the impact from heat and Road Salts. Forestry recommends this species change. Comment Numbe.. 2 �_ _, nment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: The proposed addition meets the FAR requirements for the rear half of the lot (33% of the rear 50% of lot area). However, the future 1,600 square foot addition shown on the site plan may not meet this requirement. Please include the calculations for the proposed floor area on the rear half of the lot on the site plan. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: Land Use Code Section 4.9(E)(5) specifies that off-street parking lots cannot be located closer to the street than the front of the principal building. It appears that the proposed parking area is set about 8 feet closer to Westward Drive than the principal building. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: A minumum of 4 bicycle parking spaces should be provided in a convenient location on -site. See section 3.2.2(C)(4).

The applicant would need to remove the existing attached curb & gutter and sidewalk and then provide new vertical curb and gutter with a detached sidewalk, or alternatively, the applicant would need to add a minimum of 4 feet additional width of sidewalk (6 inches thick) to the back of existing sidewalk. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: Under the second option in the previous comment where additional sidewalk is added to the existing, the existing street light would likely need to be relocated by the applicant in order to ensure the additional sidewalk width being added is free from obstructions with a minimum separation of 2 feet from the sidewalk being added. Under a scenario where the sidewalk is detached from the curb and gutter, the light pole may be able to remain in its current location in between the new detached sidewalk and vertical curb and gutter. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 07/08/2014: The landscape plan doesn't appear to clearly identify the property line boundary, especially along Shields.
