Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/14/2016 11/14/2016: As mentioned in the traffic study the Poudre River Drive and Lemay intersection sets between two signalized intersections, and is too close to each to be signalized itself. The delay for the west bound left turn and right turn is significant for the long term build out. If safety does become a concern at this intersection City Traffic Operations could limit access to right in right out only.

Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/10/2017 01/10/2017: The following edits to the site plan drawings can be completed after public hearing: - The planning and engineering signature blocks can be removed from the interim condition site plan. - Trying to improve the consistency on the interim site plan -- will all of the new parking and fuel storage shown be completed with the initial phase of improvements? Several different shades of gray are being utilized; what is the difference between them? - Should the note for the gravel drive be changed to read 'Gravel Drive to Timberline Rd'? - On the interim site plan building coverage table, please remove references to the future buildings and only include existing and phase 1 buildings. The tables on both the interim and future site plan drawings should be moved away from the edge slightly to reduce printer cut-off, and the title of parking counts is confusing. - On the future expansion site plan, please make the note about review of future improvements by minor or major amendment more prominent and locate closer to the other general notes. - On both site plans, please break down the parking counts by showing the number of spaces for visitor/employee parking versus vehicle storage. For the purpose of parking minimums/maximums, we're only looking at non -vehicle storage spaces.

One is a 50kVA and the other is a 100kVA. Both are 120/240V. Records show that these arefeeding a 400 amp panel. This will need to be field verified to ensure nothing has changed. If additional electrical demand is needed then system modification charges will apply. Page 1 of 5
