1. WATER SUPPLY - Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water
district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must
meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing
requirements include: Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not
further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter; residential within Urban
Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the
building, on 800-foot centers thereafter; residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at
20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot
centers thereafter.
These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler
systems.
2006 International Fire Code 508.1 and Appendix B
2. REQUIRED ACCESS - Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility,
building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's
jurisdiction when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story
of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an
approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall be visible by
painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be
submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already
contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following
general requirements:
- Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable
of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for
temporary fire lanes or at construction sites.
- Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable.
- Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane
(30 feet on at least one long side of the building when the structures is three or more
stories in height).

fire line and fire hydrant.

1. Bicycle parking is required. Bicycle parking must be on a hard surface, convenient to the
entrance and protected from the elements if possible.
2. Coordination with the North College roadway improvements project associated with the
North College Marketplace appears to be underway. The contact for that project is Matt
Baker.
Stormwater
Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter(cDfcgov.com
1. Drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area; therefore, it is
important to document the existing impervious area. To determine these requirements, an
exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas is needed. In the Dry Creek
drainage basin, a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if
there is an increase in impervious area greater than 1000 square feet. These must be
prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. If the new impervious area is
less than 1000 square feet, a drainage letter is sufficient as long as it confirms compliance
with the existing drainage patterns or justifies a change in the drainage patterns. A grading
plan is still required.
2. Since the site is being platted, the existing storm sewer lines need to have easements
shown on the new plat in addition to any new easements needed for detention for the
additions and the parking lot.
3. In the Dry Creek basin, the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre. The drainage
outfall for the site may require obtaining easements from this property to Willox Ct. since
that appears to be the present outfall for the drainage. With detention, some of the site
could possibly drain to the existing storm lines from the north if the pipe under College Ave.
is replaced. The drainage system from the County development north of the Larimer and
Weld ditch has not been working properly for years. Options for repair of that system are
being considered by the Stormwater Utility.
4. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs).
5. The Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company owns and operates the Eaton Ditch
(Larimer-Weld Canal) along the north property line. The ditch company will need to
approve the plans if there is any grading near the ditch. The contact is Bill Johnston,
Superintendent; 222-0090 (Cell), 454-3377.
6. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek Master
Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.
7. The 2010 City-wide development fee (PIF) is $6,313/acre ($0.145/sq.ft.) for new

The applicant is proposing an expansion of an existing building as well as expanding the uses onto
the neighboring site. The existing building is 36'x48'; the expansion will add a 100' by 60' structure.
The proposed expansion onto a new site is subject to a type 1 (administrative) review process in the
Service Commercial (CS) District.

1. Zoned CS - Exiting development is the Platinum Auto Brokers PUD. The proposed building
expansion and outdoor parking/display are located on property not within the boundaries of
the PUD. This means that the changes can't be approved by minor amendment. Rather a
new PDP is required. Tractor sales aren't specifically listed as permitted, but as long as the
types of tractors for sale are limited to the size/type of those currently being sold on the
original PUD site, it's been determined that the use is a permitted use, to be included in the
vehicle and boat sales use listed in the CS zone. The development will be subject to a Type
1 public hearing process.
2. The new parcel is not platted. Therefore, it will need to be platted as part of the process.
