The irrigation plans must comply with the provisions outlined in Section 3.2.1(J) of the Land Use Code. Direct questions concerning irrigation requirements to Eric Olson, at 221-6704 or eolson@fcgov.com Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Continue the water main construction drawings east to connect with the 16" water main on the south side of Lincoln. Schedule meeting to discuss alignment of the main and reimbursement for this portion of the water main. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Provide projected fire flow demands to allow review of the water main sizing. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: The generator, spirit storage and trash enclosures are shown within a utility easement. These items which are generally constructed on footings/foundations and are not allowed in utility easements. 12 right-of-way. Ac,-6s lid to the vault should be shown on the p.-..s if to remain in public sidewalk. Is the proposed street tree on the landscaping plan just west of the vault a conflict? Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Has enough detail grading been performed to determine whether offsite construction easements might be needed from Mawson Lumber? The grading plan would need additional grading information/spot elevation along the building side and the driveway to help make a finding. Additionally, will need to ensure that the driveway out to Lincoln doesn't negatively impact drainage onto neighboring properties as well as limit the amount of area sheetflowing over the Lincoln Avenue sidewalk to less than 750 square feet. Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The site plan shows the placement of bike racks along the Willow Street sidewalk. These bike racks appear to be bike racks that are required under the Land Use Code and when required by code, would need to be located outside of public right-of-way. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The development plan needs to provide information on how, (with the curb and gutter being installed along Willow Street), would the street layout work from a horizontal and vertical perspective. What would be the striping, parking, bike and travel lane operation for the full Willow Street resulting from this (horizontal control/striping plan) with the railroad track in mind? How will (from a preliminary design information standpoint at this time) the roadway drain and provide typical cross -sections along Willow Street for this. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: It is a little unclear on the extent of sidewalk being provided on Willow Street. The 10.5 sidewalk width indicated along Lot 1 should continue along Lot 2 and tie into the existing sidewalk west of the diagonal parking spots. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Under the presumption that ultimate curb, gutter and sidewalk is installed along Willow Street, the local street portion of curb, gutter and sidewalk is satisfied, with the City reimbursing .5 feet of sidewalk width. Depending on whether Willow Street pavement is correspondingly installed in what can be determined is the ultimate location and at local street width will determine whether local street pavement obligation is satisfied or would need to have an established repay collected. The Linden Street repay for the local street portion is required and indicated in the development agreement for the project. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: 9.3.2.A.1 of LCUASS would require that the driveway access onto Willow Street be done with a radius style drive approach (LCUASS detail 707). If there's a desire to keep the driveway pan design instead of the driveway radius, this can be explored under a LCUASS variance. We would want to have vehicle turning template information to verify that the turning movements can be accomplished within the driveway pan design. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: How are downspouts for roof drainage intended to convey? The pitched roof elevation along Willow Street in particular may be of concern with drainage not emptying onto the sidewalk and perimeter drains for downspouts should not be in right-of-way. 4 10/14/2014: Tht esign of LID features needs to be detailed p"ur to public hearing, which includes a table showing the LID requirements will be met. It is unsure if the 50% requirement is met. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Please review values in Table 1 (0.025 vs. 0.25). Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Detention volume verification needs to be shown during PDP. 54" and 60" HDPE were both discussed in the submittal packet. Please clarify pipe sizing and verify that size will be compatible with the outfall elevation. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Please document "minimal offsite flows" and how these will be routed through the site. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: City is still verifying if a mechanical device is suitable for the temporary water quality requirement. Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq-ft, therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted for FDP. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted does not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan, Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation.

The study wasn't received in our office until Monday the 13th leaving just two days for review. This makes it difficult on staff. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: No site plan was received so no comments are offered. Topic: Traffic Impact Study Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: The study indicates that intersections 'operate acceptably' with existing and future geometry. Please provide an addendum to the study to address what geometry is warranted per the LCUASS standards - both in terms of LOS and the geometric warrants for turn lanes. If 11 key box contain,.g the key(s) to the lock is installed at the gal, location. 7. Gate design and locking device specifications shall be submitted for approval by the fire code official prior to installation. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Flammable liquids are regulated by IFC 2012, Chapters 50 and 57. Information submitted with the PDP indicates that flammable liquid quantities in "use", exceed the maximum allowable quantities per control area. As such, the manufacturing area of the proposed building will need to meet H-3 group occupancy requirements. A full HMIA needs to be submitted no later than at time of building permit. Information specific to distillery manufacturing and storage, grain handling and storage, building floor plan, spill control, and other H-3 occupancy compliance measures will be required. Additional HMIA direction may be obtained from the Land Use Code. > HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - GENERAL STANDARD FCLU 3.4.5(B): If any use on the development site may entail the use or storage of hazardous materials (including hazardous wastes) on -site, the project shall be designed to comply with all safety, fire and building codes for the use and storage of the hazardous materials involved.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, , dmogen@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: City and applicant need to discuss all requirements associated with underground detention. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Porous pavement is required as part of LID. Please clarity how this requirement will be met — pavers were not noted on the utility plans. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Paragraph IV.A.1 looks to be cut/paste from another report; please update. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10 Comment Number: 1 uumment Originated: 10/13/2014 10/14/2014: FIRE ACCESS > FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS. The proposed 20' EAE on the east side of the building appears to be in conflict with deliveries and loading/off-loading of large trucks. Fire lanes are to maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance at all times. > AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS. In order to determining if aerial apparatus access is being provided for at this site, details need to include the ultimate width of Willow Street and if parking is being allowed on either side. > ROOF ACCESS. New buildings four or more stories in height shall be provided with a stairway to the roof. Stairway access to the roof shall be in accordance with IFC 1009.12. Such stairways shall be marked at street and floor levels with a sign indicating that the stairway continues to the roof. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/13/2014 10/14/2014: FIRE STANDPIPE SYSTEM IFC Sections 905 and 913: Standpipe systems shall be provided in new buildings and structures in accordance with Section 905 or the 2006 International Fire Code. Approved standpipe systems shall be installed throughout buildings where the floor level of the highest story is located more than 30 feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.

City of Fort Collins Building Services Plan Review 416-2341 Department: Light And Power Contact: Janet McTague, 970-224-6154, jmctague@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Light and Power will need a completed C-1 form indicating size and type of electric power needed. We will also need to coordinate a transformer location that is within 10' of a paved surface and accessible by a line truck. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Power will becoming from Lincoln Ave. in order to avoid tearing up new facilities in Linden St. We will need to coordinate a route for the power to take. Two possible routes include along Lincoln and Willow to get to the property site or through the property access on Lincoln Ave. Light and Power will work with the property developer/owner to obtain easements if necessary. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: We will need to coordinate streetlighting with street trees. Large shade trees need to be at least 40' from streetlights and ornamental trees need to be at least 15' from the lights. Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, olynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General P Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Staff has concerns regarding the design of the "pub" element on the building's southwest corner. This section of the building does not appear to meet the design intent of the R-D-R Zone, and is not in line with the agricultural/industrial vision for this industrial district. It is important to note that in its discussions regarding the R-D-R Zone District Design Guidelines and Standards, City Council was very clear about its desire to see projects in the area be authentic to the existing historic industrial/agricultural character of this district, rather than the commercial character found in the historic buildings on the other side of Jefferson in the Old Town Historic District. This vision - which is articulated in the R-D-R Zone District Design Guidelines - describes the inappropriateness of elaborate architectural treatments such as decorative cornices, moldings, door and window surrounds, and awnings, in favor of simple, even austere, elements. Additionally, the pub appears to be closely mimicking a faux historic building, one that would not have been built in this District. Buildings and stylistic components should take reference from the historic character of this District, while still clearly distinguishable as products of their own time. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 Before the project is ready for Hearing, it will need to receive a recommendation from the Landmark Preservation Commission to the Decision Maker. Department: Internal Services Contact: Russell Hovland, 970-416-23419 rhovland@fcgov.com Topic: Building Inspection Plan Review Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/10/2014 10/10/2014: Building Permit Pre -Submittal Meeting Pre -Submittal meetings are offered to assist the designer/builder by assuring, early on in the design, that the new commercial or multi -family projects are on track to complying with all of the adopted City codes and Standards listed below. The proposed project should be in the early to mid -design stage for this meeting to be effective and is typically scheduled after the Current Planning conceptual review meeting. Applicants of new commercial or multi -family projects are advised to call 416-2341 to schedule a pre -submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to present site plans, floor plans, and elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage and type of construction being proposed. Construction shall comply with the following adopted codes as amended: 2012 International Building Code (IBC) 2012 International Residential Code (IRC) 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2012 International Mechanical Code (IMC) 2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) 2012 International Plumbing Code (IPC) as amended by the State of Colorado 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) as amended by the State of Colorado Comment Number: 2 10/14/2014: Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 Contact the City Forester for an on -site meeting to obtain tree inventory information to include on the plan. Comment Number: 3 10/14/2014: Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 Please show locations of any street lights and if any occur provide tree locations that meet the tree light separation standard. Canopy shade trees 40feet from street lights Ornamental trees 15 feet from street lights Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Specify tree grates by type and model for trees in sidewalk cut outs along Willow. Also specify these trees as 3.0 inch caliper to provide higher branching at planting for improved pedestrian clearance. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Please provide a separate planting detail for trees to be planted with tree grates. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Provide a final landscape plan identifying all plant material by species and size. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Place the following note with large print and a bold outline on the landscape plan. A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any City street trees are planted in the sidewalk cutouts along Willow Street. Street tree locations and numbers may change to meet actual utility/tree separation standards. Landscape contractor must obtain approval of street tree locations after utility locates. Street trees must be inspected and approved before planting and before the permit is issued. Failure to obtain this permit is a violation of the code of the City of Fort Collins. Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Josh Weinberg, 970-221-6206, Topic: General Comment Number: 1 10/14/2014: Weinberg@fcgov.com Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 Overall, staff is very pleased with this project and its ability to largely meet the intent and provision of the R-D-R Zone District Design Standards and Guidelines and its compatibility with the surrounding Old Town National Register Historic District. The step backs, articulation, and differentiation through the use of durable and high -quality materials all aid in breaking up the building's large massing and assist in its compatibility with the surrounding historic agricultural/industrial context. 0 Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Lincoln Avenue frontage needs to show sidewalk improvements along the property frontage, across the new driveway and tying into the existing sidewalk. The new driveway would need be built in concrete to the property line. In general, the site and landscape plans for this project should be showing the driveway out to Lincoln Avenue and sidewalk improvements on Lincoln Avenue; it shouldn't be considered "offsite" on the site and landscape plans. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Is the driveway onto Lincoln Avenue intending to bean exit only driveway (which is implied on page 15 of the TIS under the "Parking" section)? If so, the radius on the north side of the driveway wouldn't appear to be needed and would confuse the exit only intent of the driveway. Additionally, as proposed, there appears to be an existing railroad sign that would have to be relocated as it would appear to be within the driveway as well and should be indicated. What is the proposed radius for the driveway approach? Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The driveway out to Lincoln Avenue appears to afford the ability to provide a similar connecting sidewalk along the driveway that would link the development to Lincoln Avenue's pedestrian connectivity and tie into a proposed sidewalk on Lot 1 that appears to end at the driveway. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Depending on emergency access considerations and the width of Willow Street absent of parking, will PFA need the driveway out to Lincoln as an emergency access easement? Contact: Sheri Langenberger, 970-221-6573, slangenberger@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/06/2014 10/06/2014: The acreage on the plat did not match the acreage on the TDRFee calculation sheet. Using the acreage being plated the project owes an additional $259.50 for the PDP TDRFees. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: No comments. Department: Forestry Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361, tbuchanan@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014 10/14/2014: Evaluate providing a closer spacing of street trees along Willow to achieve 40 foot spacing where feasible. 5 would help balan, jut the overall proportionality of the entire _cture. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: In the service area, there is, as expected, a heavy reliance onscreen walls to protect and screen the various outdoor aspects of the distillery. These walls are described as scored ground -faced c.m.u., color gray. Please note that the Guidelines address screen walls and suggest a higher quality of screening by calling for such walls to be integrated with the design of the site and designed to be within the character of the building. Please consider adding details or features or a material change to soften these walls. As mentioned at Preliminary Design Review, the southwest side of the site, at one time, included a rail spur. Perhaps the design of the screen walls can creatively recall this feature in some way. Or, alternatively, the walls can be mitigated by use of trellis and vines. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Please depict where the property line boundaries are on the building elevations. It would be helpful to see where the Linden Street and Willow Street rights -of -way are, along with the property line between this project and Mawson Lumber. Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Under the presumption that the transformers shown behind Willow Street are City maintained (and locked as a result) then the access doors swinging into right-of-way are acceptable. Otherwise if this is some sort of privately maintained system, the doors cannot be designed to swing out into right-of-way. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: 10/15/2014: With the grading plan showing a finish floor elevation of 71.90, is this intending to be consistent for the entire building? This would appear to be problematic with the proposed flowline design for Willow Street as the flowline is 3 to 4 feet lower than the finish floor towards the eastern side of the building and maintaining an ADA compliant attached sidewalk. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: New curb and gutter and sidewalk needs to be shown along Willow Street tying into the existing sidewalk, curb and gutter. The existing storm inlet in the Willow Street right-of-way would appear to need to be changed to a Type R inlet with the extension of curb and gutter. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Is the proposed 15" RCP west of the existing inlet referenced in the previous comment considered a private storm line? If so, the crossing of it in right-of-way should be minimized by having the line remain on private property and then cross into right-of-way behind the inlet. An encroachment permit would be needed for this crossing. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The proposed water vault in the Willow Street sidewalk appears to limit the ability of other utility providers to utilize the Willow Street sidewalk. With it not being considered a private improvement, this isn't a concern from a right-of-way usage standpoint, however if utility servicing needs are impacted, it may be better served to be moved outside of Willow Street 3 Contact: Ted Shepard,-.0-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: On the cover sheet, please add the Height Analysis sheets to the index. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The amount of bike parking provided in fixed racks, while complying with the minimum, appears to be inadequate, especially for weekend tours, dining and events. Perhaps additional bike parking can be provided along Linden Street rather than solely relying upon Willow Street. Also, since there is no vehicle parking onsite, employees would benefit from additional bike parking in the service area which offers security over the course of a shift, particularly a swing or night shift (if distillery activities require overnight operations). Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: On the Landscape Plan, there is a gap in the street trees along Linden Street that is 75 feet wide. If there is conflict with an existing street light, please fill this gap with an ornamental tree. Along Willow, there is a linear foot distance of 300 feet which calls for 7 - 8 street trees but only six are provided. Again, if there is a conflict with a street light, please use ornamentals. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: On the Landscape Plan, please add a general note as to whether or not there are any existing trees on the site. If so, have these trees been evaluated by the City Forester. If found to be valuable, and cannot be preserved, then a mitigation schedule would be necessary. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: On the Landscape Plan, please label the Spirit Storage Tanks. (Is it intended for the access doors to these tanks face away from the distillery?) It would be helpful on the Landscape Plan to add a note describing the nature and extent of the screen walls in the Service Area. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The Lighting Plan is sufficient for a P.D.P. At the time of submittal for Final Plan, please be sure to adjust the illuminance plan and such that the Light Loss Factor is 1.00. Also, at Final, please add a column indicating the quantity of each fixture. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: Regarding the Lighting Plan, please add a General Note to the Site Plan Cover Sheet stating that all exterior light fixtures shall feature fully -shielded and sharp cut-off luminaries. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 10/15/2014: The architecture of the building demonstrates a high degree of compliance with the recently adopted R-D-R Design Standards and Guidelines. Staff applauds the design team for capturing both the spirit and intent of these new provisions. For being the first project to be reviewed under these new regulations, River District Block 8 sets a new standard for all subsequent applications. Staff is concerned, however, that the there is one component that may need refinement. The height of the smokestack at 120 feet is 40 feet higher than the five story tower, and, as such appears out of proportion with the overall mass of the building. Staff recommends that the height of smokestack be reduced to more closely align with the tower at 80 feet (plus or minus). Bringing down the smokestack to a height that approximates the tower 2 Fort Collins Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov. com/devet opmentreview October 15, 2014 Linda Ripley 401 W.
