HomeMy WebLinkAboutFTC WALMART MAGNOLIA WTE VERIZON - BDR190004 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 2 - RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTSexisting storm sewer line. The 10 ft utility easement is directly over a public
storm sewer line. 10 feet of separation is required for all of these easements
from these storm sewers.
Previously depicted access & utility easement has been revised to be access only. During the 1 st staff review meeting, this revision
sounded like it would alleviate concerns for that particular easement. The other utility only easement has been revised based on
comments from Forestry and to avoid the known and plotted storm sewer manholes in the landscaped area and driveway just north
of the proposed equipment. Instead of running along the path of these two manholes, Verizon will go further east along existing
driveway than turn south and then turn west back towards the building. We hope this resolves the concern.

04/ 12/2019: INFORMATION:
Your plans indicate that your plan is to install a submeter to track your power
consumption. Light and Power is in the process to request a change in code to
disallow master metering for commercial services. Please consider a back up
plan for installing a separate City of Fort Collins owned meter if these code
changes take place before your project happens.
Architect has discussed the project with Light & Power directly to address questions and comments. Upon completion of the
discussions, Light & Power agreed that if no additional service is required than no additional utility easements will be required.

No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Planning
Materials it has been determined that this project; will disturb less than
10,000 sq. ft., is not proposed to be in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes
(greater than 31-1:1 V) within or adjacent to the project, and is not part of a
larger common development that will or is under construction. Therefore, no
Erosion Control Material submittal is needed. If this project substantially
changes in size or design where the above criteria now apply, erosion control
materials should be submitted. Though the project at this time requires no
erosion control material submittal, the project still must be swept and
maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash & debris,
landscape materials and other pollutants from the potential of leaving the
site and entering the storm sewer at all times during the project in
accordance with City Code 26-498. If complaint driven or site observation of
the project seems not to prevent the pollutant discharge the City may require
the project to install erosion and sediment control measures. Nearby inlets
that may be impacted by the pollutants, in particular dirt, should be
protected as a good preventative practice and individual lots should be
protected from material escaping onto the sidewalk. If at building permit
issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcqov.com to help facilitate
getting these permits signed off.

There are existing trees on site. Utility easements and equipment installation
are proposed in close proximity to multiple trees on the property. What are the
anticipated impacts to the trees? Please schedule an onsite visit with City
Forestry to obtain inventory and mitigation information. Existing significant trees
should be retained to the extent reasonably feasible. The site visit should occur
prior to the next round of review.
Applicant met with Forestry to discuss proposed fiber route and potential impacts. As a result of that meeting, we have revised the
proposed fiber to avoid certain trees, center between trees as much as possible, and install using boring. The final location is in a
gap between existing trees.

Will the installation of equipment require any additional clearance, and if so, will
pruning be required? Additionally, please clarify whether any excavation is planned
within the drip line of the trees.
Pruning is not required at the time of installation. However, pruning may be required in the future as the tree continues to grow. Per
our site visit, the proposed fiber line once adjusted to be centered between trees will not be within the drip line of the trees.

03/27/2019: FOR APPROVAL: A few questions/comments regarding the
easements shown on the plan set:
1. Are these public easements (being dedicated to the City of Fort Collins)? If
these are public easements, then they need to follow the City's procedure for
dedication by separate document located at this link:
https://www.fcqov.com/engineering/devrev.php
2. Easements can't be dedicated through a plan set, they need to be dedicated
by separate document or by platting. If these are private easements, please
label them on the plan set as who is dedicating the easement and who is
receiving the easement, for example "Access easement - property owner to
Verizon".
These will not be public easements. They have been labeled to show they will be from property owner to Verizon

Comment Originated: 04/02/2019
04/02/2019: FOR APPROVAL: To help eliminate some of the confusion regarding
the easements on the plan set. Please add additional information to the
easement description that says who the easement is being dedicated too and
who it is from, for example, Access Easement - Property Owner to Verizon. If
an easement already exists, a reception number under the easement label
would be helpful also. For example, "Utility, Access and Shared Parking
Easement - Reception Number 20120061363".
Sheet Z-1 now has all existing easements labeled. Proposed easements show they are from property owner to Verizon.

Can the north facing antenna be moved outside of the two lights? The setback
distance to the security camera is understood. Would further to the west above
the wall mounted equipment be possible (see redlines on sheet Z-4).
Normally, Verizon would be willing to make this change. However, at the proposed height and current location, the antenna will have
some line of sight interference with the existing tree. Relocating the antenna further west will only exacerbate the issue since the
antenna would be immediately south of the existing tree. The one and only place the antenna can be located is where it is currently
located. We hope that painting to match the building wall and being located on the backside of the building by the loading area is
limiting the visual impact of the proposed antenna in a way that we can compromise on leaving the antenna where it is.
