Contact: Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355, pbarnes@fcqov.com Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated 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.

Response: Note added Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 05/27/2015 05/27/2015: Evaluate street tree locations along Shields. Shifting the north honeylocust to the south closer to where the dead bur oak is to be removed will provide better separation between the crabapple and bur oak to the north that will be retained. Upon verification in coordination with Stormwater on whether a civil drawing is ultimately required or not, the type and placement of the notes and design details can then be finalized. Response: Sidewalk widening detail updated. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 05/22/2015 05/22/2015: The proposed bio-swale is shown partially overlapping into Westward Drive right-of-way.

Remove duplicate notes to these from other places on the plans. 1. A permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of-way. This includes zones between the sidewalk and curb, medians and other City property. This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted. minimum from the new widened sidewalk. 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. Response: Existing Light Pole has been shown to be relocated. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 05/22/2015: Carried over for reference. 07/08/2014: The reworking of sidewalk along Westward Drive to be City and ADA compliant (ID#1) along with the demo of the existing driveway onto Shields and the construction of the new driveway onto Westward (along with any other infrastructure work 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. Response: Comment acknowledged Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 05/22/2015: The plans differ between depiction of Phase 3 as either "Proposed" or "Future". Proposed implies to me that the work is to be done with this Basic Development Review while future implies to me that a subsequent basic development review process will be required. The intent need to be flushed out as Transportation Development Review Fees cann't be finalized without determination. 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. Response: We have made the phasing consistent and removed the terms "proposed" and "future". Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 05/22/2015: It should be verified whether a development agreement is required for the Stormwater related improvements and SOP/stormwater language is formulated if applicable. 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. Response: Stormwater easement to be provided in lieu Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/08/2014 05/22/2015: For the added LCUASS detail 2501, the 4 foot minimum widening width can be changed to show 2.5 feet. The sidewalk addition should however reflect a 6 inch minimum concrete thickness. 07/08/2014: Additional notes and design details would need to be provided.

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. 07/08/2014 Response: Comment Acknowledged. An additional 2.5 feet of sidewalk had been shown.
