Metal Preparation
All exterior surfaces are cleaned with an alkaline rinse
to remove dirt, oil or surface contaminants- Exterior
metal surfaces are then blasted with a combination of
shot and grit, to remove all mill scale, oxides, or any
foreign matter. Excess shot and by-products from the
blasting operation are blown off with dry, compressed
air. Blasting in accordance with the above requirements
provides a 1.5 mil profile anchor pattern for a maximum
fusion bond to the substrate. This surface satisfies the
"near white" specification as published by the Steel
Structures Painting Council Standards SSPC-SP10.
Chemical Pretreatment
All blasted metal surfaces are chemically pretreated with
an iron phosphate conversion coating applied at high
pressure at 1100 to 120' F. The pretreated surface
immediately receives an ambient fresh water rinse
containing special surfactants and sealers. The
phosphated exterior metal surface is force dried by
convection heat at approximately 200' F., forming a dry
tight micro -crystalline coating not less than 50 mg./
sq. ft. of iron phosphate on the surface.
Powder Coating
K-Klad is a special powder coating formulated from a
unique combination of polyester resins designed to
exhibit superior outdoor weatherability, durability and
gloss retention. K-Klad is applied with state-Df-the-art
electrostatic powder coating equipment to a uniform
B mil finish. Charged powder particles adhere to the
surface of the lighting standard to form a high
molecular weight, fusion bonded finish. Precisely con
trolled bake times and temperatures ensure complete
bonding and dispersion of pigments and resins,
jCJF i.® Internal Coating
The internal base -end of the pole is blasted, cleaned and
powder coated for a minimum of 12 inches from the
baseplate. The entire internal surfaces including the
powder coated area at the base -end are coated with
K-Seal, a thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin system
specially formulated for application over untreated steel
surfaces. K-Seal is to be applied in a manner to ensure
complete, uniform ID coverage to a thickness of 3 mils.
The internal coating shall contain special corrosion
inhibitors and is capable of passing 1000 hours of salt
spray exposure (ASTM B-117).
Over Hot Dip Galvanizing
In areas where superior performance is required,
K-Klad powder coating applied over hot dip galvanized
steel provides an additional surface barrier, encap-
sulating the cathodic protective zinc surface.
Hot Dip Galvanizing
All exterior and interior metal surfaces are hot dip
galvanized in accordance with ASTM A-123. During the
hot dip galvanizing process the molten zinc reacts with
the steel surface forming a barrier that becomes an
extension of the steel surface.
Metal Preparation
All exterior galvanized surfaces are washed under heat
and pressure with an alkaline rinse to remove any
excess oxides or contaminants. The exterior surfaces are
then centrifugally brush blasted with a combination of
shot and grit to remove excess oxides and foreign
matter providing an anchor pattern profile without
disruption to the galvanized Surface.
Chemical Pretreatment
All blasted metal surfaces are chemically pretreated with
an iron phosphate conversion coating applied at high
pressure at 110' to 120' F. The pretreated surface
immediately receives an ambient fresh water rinse
containing special surfactants and sealers- The
phosphated exterior metal surface is force dried by
convection heat at approximately 200' F., forming a dry
tight micro -crystalline coating not less than 50 mg./
sq. ft. of iron phosphate on the surface.
Powder Coating
Charged powder particles are applied to the surface of
the lighting standard to form a high molecular weight,
fusion bonded K-Klad finish. Exact bake times and
temperatures ensure complete bonding and dispersion
of pigments and resins. This process assures superior
weatherability, durability and gloss retention.
ifa-WAL® Internal Coating
The internal galvanized section is coated with K-Seal, a
corrosion inhibitor, to form a protective internal barrier.
The cathodic protection of the hot dip galvanized
surface, encapsulated by the K-Seal internal coat,
provides superior corrosion resistance.

The proposed plan meets the Code's Design Standards, including using light
sources that are concealed or shielded to the extent feasible to minimize the potential
for glare, and that produce accurate color rendition spQcrior to that produced by
the typical mercury vapor or high-pressure sodium lighting systems.
The proposed plan_
Does a superior job of protecting surrounding areas from light
intrusion by providing sharply cat -off lighting level at the site perimeter. Light
leveh, 35' array from the futures, to the west on McClelland Drive, and to the south
on Swallow Road, drop to below I footcandle. Light levels e o not even reach the
railroad tracks on the west aide of the project.
Enhances neighborhood continuity and connectivity by providing
appropriately lit access to College Avenue and adjacent properties.
Demonstrates innovative design and use of fixtures and other site
elements as described above.
I hope this is within your acceptanct, and I do apologize for the extended time frame
this has taken.

Dear John,
This letter is intended to provide more detailed information regarding the
site lighting for the lot expansion west of the existing Ed Carroll Motors, and for the
request for approval of the proposed plan as an alternative to a plan meeting a strict
application of section 3.2.4(Dx7) of the Fort Collins Land Use Code. That section of
the code, calling for a maximum on -site lighting level of ten footcandles, was written
to address common patron or employee parking areas. It does not recognize other
functions such as lighted athletic fields, product display, or outdoor performing arts
facilities that cannot meet the stated purpose of the 3.2.4(A) Site Lighting Purpose
section of the code,". —to tnsxre that the facfinnal and security needs of the project are
met__ " at a level often footcaudIm Those fuctious must be considered under the
Akunadve Compliance provisions of the code_
Considering the review criteria as outlined in the Land Use Code, the
following findings may be made:
The proposed alternative plan accomplishes the stated purpose of the
3.2.4(A) Site Lighting., Purpose, "... to ensure that the functional and security needy of
the project are met in a way that does not adversely affect the adjacent properties or
neighborhood " better than would a lighting plan which strictly complies with the
standards of that section; because the functional needs of the project cannot be met
at a maximum lighting level of ten footcandles_ Illumination Engineering Society
(TES) recommends a footcandle level of a minimum of five times the highest
surrounding ambient lighting, to a maximum level of 100 - 300 footcandles
depending upon surrounding competing light levels for display purposes.
public rights -of -way shall not exceed one -tenth (0.1) foot-candle as a direct
result of the on -site lighting. "
The light fixture includes a computer design reflector, that combined with the light housing,
directs the lighting in a more precise manor than older light fixtures, this being a major
innovation in lighting design in the past few years. The lighting provides sharply cut-off
lighting levels at the perimeter of the site to eliminate fugitive light onto adjacent properties,
and controls lighting glare from adjacent properties. Ed Carroll Motors agreed to add a house
side shield to the lights adjacent to McClelland (see letter dated Sept. 25, 1998), which staff
viewed as further innovation in design to achieve the necessary., light levels adjacent to the site,
and thus allowed the approval of the alternative compliance request. The same shield will be
applied to the lights along McClelland for the proposed project. As noted in the May 13, 1998
letter from C.E.D., light levels do not even reach the railroad tracks on the west side of the
project.
This project is an extension of a project approved under the existing Land Use Code standards,
with the agreed upon light standards, light levels, security lighting, and house side shields being
utilized for this project. We feel the project performs equally well or better than proposed or
set by the Land Use Code Standards.
The attached letters are for your reference and document the lighting proposed, light level
justifications, and approval process performed on the Ed Carroll Motors Lot expansion I.
Please review this information and should you have any questions, give me a call.
Sincerely,

higher light levels have proven successful in deterring thieves from looting the vehicles on the
existing car dealership lot.
As the proposed lighting plan follows directly from the approval of the lighting plan and
fixtures from the first parking lot expansion, the following justifications Leanne Harter's Staff
Report dated 10.1.1998, hold true for this project.
In addition to the "equally well or better than " test, the alternative plan must address all
applicable criteria from the Land Use Code, including the following:
• The extent to which the proposed design protects natural areas from light
intrusion;
• Enhances neighborhood continuity and connectivity;
• Foster nonvehiclar access; and
• Demonstrates innovative design and use of fixtures or other elements.
b2htinQ intrusion on Natural Areas
As the site is not located next to (or near) a natural area, the first criterion mentioned above is
not applicable. (the proposed site is adjacent to the approved site)
Enhances Neighborhood Continuity and Connectivity
Responding to the criterion of neighborhood continuity and connectivity, the applicants intend
to reduce light levels at 10: 00 pm. This will limit the amount of obtrusive light in the
residential rear yards to the west of the site. (Ed Carroll Motors intents to apply this to the
proposed lot)
Foster Nonvehicular Access
The proposed lighting will serve to provide additional lighting for the sidewalks located
adjacent to the site. Pedestrian connections area provided to and through the site, however, as
the nature of the land use is intuitively dependent on the automobile, the amount of proposed
nonvehicular use to and from the site is minimal. (the proposed lot is a further extensions, of the
existing land use)
Innovative Design and Use of Fixtures~
The applicant states in the attached letter(s) that the lighting plan as submitted demonstrates
innovative design and use offixtures by using a light fixture that includes a reflector and light
housing that directs the lighting in a precise manner, limiting spillover at the perimeter of the
site.
It is incumbeht upon the applicant to demonstrate that the review criteria of the Land Use
Code Section 3.2.4 are met. Based upon the information submitted by the applicant and review
of this in accordance with the requirements submitted by the applicant and review of this in
accordance with the requirements of the Land Use Code, staff recommend that the plan
submitted does not accomplish the purpose of Section 3.2.4 equally well or better than a plan
which complies with the Section, and the plan is not consistent with the criteria in the
following manner:
1. The project with the alternative compliance proposal does not comply with
Section 3.2.4(D)(8) which states that "Light levels measure twenty (20) fee
beyond the property line of the development sit (adjacent to residential uses of

RE: Ed Carroll Motors - Alternative Compliance (Lighting)
Dear Troy:
binAAwape Ambiterlwy
Bquirnvib,
&n"immaaneal & Commuulty Plannb{q
The following, and attached documents summarize the Alternative Compliance requested for
the parking lot lighting for the Ed Carroll Motors parking lot expansion. The attached letters
address the previous parking lot expansion, but pertains to this project. With this project, we
are proposing the same lighting, light levels, and lighting agreements that enable the approval
of the previous project. The following summarizes the Alternative Compliance request, and
how the proposed plan accomplishes the purposes of this Section equally well or better than
would a lighting plan, which complies with the standards of this Section.
As outlined in the May 13, 1998 letter from C.E.D., the lighting standards within the Fort
Collins Land Use Code calling for a maximum on -site lighting level of ten foot-candles, were
written to address common patron or employee parking areas. The proposed project is for a
parking lot expansion adjacent to an existing car dealership. The function of this lot will be for
car display and storage of vehicles associated with the dealership: new cars, used cars, cars in
for service, etc., or which security is a very important issue.
The proposed light levels needed to provide a functional and secure atmosphere for the car
dealership traffic (average: 40-50 foot-candles), exceeds the levels outlined with the Land Use
Code, however the light levels proposed fall well below the Illumination Engineering Society
(IES) recommendations of 100-300 foot-candles for this use. As stated in the Staff Report for
the first Ed Carroll Motors parking lot expansion written by Leanne Harter on 11.1.1998,
"Staff referred the submitted plan to Tim Sagen with the City's Light and Power utilityfor
review and comment. Mr. Sagen stated that the levels proposed are consistent with those
generally associated with this type of land use and activity. "
The lighting design as proposed will provide lighting for this •land use, equally well or better
than a lighting plan designed to the standards, by providing sufficient light to use the site
safely. The needs for higher light levels are needed to .provide good visibility for both
pedestrian car buyers watching out for vehicular traffic through the lot, and vice versa. The
