Recommended spacing between street trees is 40' on -center and,
as shown, they are about 60" on -center.
19. The plants as shown on the east side of this project appear to
be on the Colorado Monument Co. property. If these are new
plantings to be installed by you then an off -site landscape
agreement would be necessary. Who will maintain these plants?
20. More information on the materials and colors of the building
are needed for review.
This completes our review and comments at this time. Please contact

comments.

property was apparently vacated in 1928 (City ordinance #1-
28). It appears that this property does have to be platted
before development can occur (please see the attached copy of
the relevant section of the City Code). A minor subdivision
plat review (if less than 7 lots) is required and can be done
in conjunction with this request. A copy of the minor
subdivision requirements is enclosed.
8. The plans must show the type of hard surface material that you
are proposing for the driveway and parking areas.
9. The City Code requires that a minimum of 6% of the
parking/loading areas must be in landscaped islands. The
plans, as shown, do not comply with.the code.
10. The City Code requires that the perimeter landscaping screen
at least 20% of the cross -sectional view .of the parking lot
from the East Lincoln Avenue. Berming and/or additional trees
and shrubs are needed for compliance. Please consider the use
of evergreens, for additional opacity, in creating your
buffer.
11. The Public Service Company, has stated that no trees can be
planted within 4' (horizontally) of their gas mains.
12. A.copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to
this letter.
13. A copy of the ..comments received from the City's Stormwater
Utility is attached to this letter.
14. The Poudre Fire Authority has stated that you must show the
fire hydrants on the north side of East Lincoln Avenue on the
Site Plan. The proposed building size requires that it be
fully sprinkled. The building does exceed the 150' maximum
distance access requirement. The fire truck turnaround (90'
radius) is not necessary when the building is to be equipped
with an automatic fire sprinkler system.
15. The Natural Resources. Department would like to.be involved in
the solutions for the landscaping associated with detention
pond area and its interface with the building and other site
improvements. They will be happy to provide you with
recommendations for drought tolerant grass mixes. In general,
the proposed landscape plan seems to juxtapose "native"
grasses with introduced, ornamental trees and shrubs. Using
native trees and shrubs would be more compatible.
16. The Landscape Plan shows existing vegetation north of the
proposed building. What type of vegetation is.there and will
it be preserved or removed?
17. Foundation plantings along the south and west sides of the
building should be provided for scale and bulk reduction.

Dear Laurie,
Staff has reviewed your development plans for the Odell Brewery -
IP Site Plan which was submitted on December 15, 1993, and would
like to offer the following comments:
1. The Site Plan should include information on the existing land
use(s) within 150' to the north of this property, similar to
the information provided in the other three directions.
2. Does this development intend to sell off the western portion
of the site? If so, the plans should show the western portion
as a "future phase" and clearly differentiate between the two
phases. The western parcel will be required to provide
buffering and screening to the existing residential area to
the west.
3. There are certain to be odor emissions generated by this use.
What mitigation measures are being planned to deal with these
emissions?
4. A future 5' wide sidewalk is being proposed along East Lincoln
Avenue. Who will be responsible for the cost and construction
of this sidewalk?
5. Bicycle parking should be provided on -site, close to the
entrance to the building. The location of the bicycle parking
should be shown on the plans.
6. General Note 9 on the Site Plan references proposed exterior
lighting. More information about specifics such as the height
of the light poles, the type of light source, how the fixtures
will be shielded to prevent off -site light spillage is needed.
7. The property must be subdivided (into one or more lots,
depending on your needs) and platted if it is not already
platted. This property was part of the Buckingham Place
annexation and subdivision plat that was approved in the early
1900's (1903 to 1904), but the plat that included this
