A copy of these requirements can be obtained at the Building Office or contact the above phone number. City of Fort Collins Building Services Plan Review 970-416-2341 platted lot, Lot 11 is significantly encumbered by a variety of easements. Consequently, even though the site is listed as containing 1.22 acres, the net developable land area is significantly less. Please note that this project is dependent on the recording of the replat associated with Ascent Climbing Gym. 10. Please be sure that the trash enclosure is of sufficient size to accommodate both trash and recycling containers. It is important to emphasize that it is illegal to discard cardboard into the waste stream. Consequently, recycle containers must be sized accordingly. For further information on the proper sizing of both trash and recycling containers, please contact Caroline Mitchell, 970-221-6288, cmitchell@fcgov.com. 11. A landscape theme has been established along Timberline Road. Burger King, Big 0 Tire and Serious Texas Barbecue all feature tightly spaced Spring Snow Crabapple Trees flanked by Colorado Blue Spruce trees. This pattern must be continued along the east side of Lot 11. Please note that the Spruce trees may be of the pyramidal variety (Bakeri, Hoopsi) or the columnar variety (Iseli Fastigiate) rather than the full size Colorado f Blue Spruce. Copies of these landscape plans are available. Please note that these / species may also be effective in screening the drive -through lane of the Burger King. 12. In the northerly parking area, eastbound vehicles will cast headlight glare onto Timberline / Road. This area will need dense vegetation for screening purposes. 13. If the placement is the electrical transformer is visible from Timberline Road, then, as mentioned, it must be screened by a solid enclosure (meeting the proper clearance specifications) on three sides. On one side, the transformer must be within 10 feet of hard surface for emergency change -out without damaging landscaping. 14. The proposed development project is subject to a Type 2 (Planning and Zoning Board) review and public hearing. The applicant for this development request is required to hold a neighborhood information meeting prior to formal submittal of the proposal. Neighborhood meetings offer an informal way to get feedback from your surrounding neighbors and discover any potential hiccups prior to the formal hearing. Please contact me, at 221-6750, to assist you in setting a date, time, and location. I and possibly other City staff, would be present to facilitate the meeting. 15. Please see the Development Review Guide at www.fcgov.com/drg. This online guide features a color coded flowchart with comprehensive, easy to read information on each step in the process. This guide includes links to just about every resource you need during development review. 16. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards. The entire LUC is available for your review on the web at http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse/begin.htm. 17. If this proposal is unable to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in the LUC, a Modification of Standard Request will need to be submitted with your formal development proposal. Please see Section 2.8.2 of the LUC for more information on criteria to apply for a Modification of Standard. 18. Please see the Submittal Requirements and Checklist at: hftp://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications.php. 19. The request will be subject to the Development Review Fee Schedule that is available in the Community Development and Neighborhood Services office. The fees are due at the 7 Planning Services Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com 1. The site is Lot 11, Building J of the Timberline Center Final Plan. The parcel is zoned I, Industrial. The Final Plan designates this parcel as bank, with five drive -through lanes and walk-up A.T.M. The proposed uses are professional office and standard restaurant. An office is a permitted use subject to Administrative (Hearing Officer, Type One) review. A standard restaurant, however is permitted subject to Planning and Zoning Board (Type Two) review. Combined with the total re -design of the approved Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations, the new program is considered a change of character thus requiring a Type Two review. Consequently, the request will be processed as a Major Amendment. 2. Normally, projects that are subject to Type Two review are required to conduct a neighborhood information meeting. Section 2.2.2(A), however, allows the Director to waive the neighborhood meeting if the development proposal would not have a significant neighborhood impact. 3. The east elevation of the building must not be designed to appear as the backside of the structure. Since this elevation is street -facing, there needs to be sufficient architectural details, fenestration, mix of exterior materials, and other features so that the east elevation is attractive and on par with the west elevation. 4. As point of emphasis with the aforementioned comment, if the east elevation is to be the location of utility meters, exterior ground -mounted equipment, exhaust fans, and the like, then solid screen walls will be needed. Simply landscaping these appurtenances has proven to be inadequate as demonstrated along Timberline Road south of Horsetooth Road. Screen walls must match the materials and pattern of the building. In addition, roof top mechanical equipment, if used, must also be screened from Timberline Road by a solid enclosure. 5. Due to the size, shape and location of the stormwater detention pond, the building is setback about 85 feet from Timberline Road. The connecting walkway, therefore, must be at least six feet wide, landscaped and properly illuminated. A decorative railing may be needed along the stormwater pond. 6. Please note that this walkway should be extended to the west property line to tie into the potential development on Lot 12. 7. The architectural character for the Timberline Center was established by approval of the Final Plan. Please refer to sheet 4 of 8 which governs the broad parameters for all of the commercial buildings within the center. Exterior materials and colors are specifically indicated so that all 14 lots will be unified by a cohesive theme. For example, please note that roofs within the center, in addition to being pitched, must be colored either green or sage if metal, or tan or charcoal if asphalt shingle. 8. Also, the approved architectural theme calls for synthetic stucco, where used, to be tan or off-white. Masonry must be tan or brown tones. Synthetic stone, where used, must also be tan or brown tones. Toward this end, the two existing projects, Burger King and the mini -storage comply. The one building under construction, Big 0 Tire, also complies. There are two buildings that are approved but have not broken ground, Ascent Climbing Gym and Serious Texas Barbecue, both of which comply with these design requirements. 9. It appears that the applicant is familiar with the unique attributes of this parcel. Asa 6 or traeker@fcgov.com 4.

There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area, cost of the measures, or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual. 6. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Foothills Basin Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual. Department: Fire Authority Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, ilynxwiler@poudre-fire.org 1. FIRE CONTAINMENT Buildings exceeding 5,000 sq. ft. shall be fire sprinklered or fire contained. If containment is used, the containment construction shall be reviewed and approved by the Poudre Fire Authority prior to installation. Also keep in mind that other occupancy classifications may trigger other sprinkler requirements. An A2 assembly (restaurant) for example, will require a sprinkler system if the occupant load exceeds 99 persons. 2. FIRE LANES Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of the building. Fire access cannot be measured from an arterial road.
