They have been labeled to show they will be from property owner to Verizon Comment Number: 2 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. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/02/2019 04/02/2019: FOR APPROVAL: For clarity, please label the grayed -out areas shown on the site plans. It is unclear what they are representing.

Code adoption is anticipated in early 2019. Building plan reviews shall be subject to the adopted version of the fire code in place at the time of plan review submittal and permit application. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/21/2019 03/21/2019: Due to the hydrants and access infrastructure available in this area and the limited extent of this project, PFA has no comment at this time. Thank you for the comments. 3 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/19/2019 03/19/2019: FOR APPROVAL: It appears that installation of a fiber run may impact the root system of surrounding trees on the south side of the building. Please work with forestry to establish determine the least impact approach to installing the fiber run from street to building. Applicant has met with Forestry to discuss alternative routes to limit the overall impact. The result of this meeting led to additional discussions with architect and Verizon. Ultimately, we've decided to revise the proposed fiber route to head west of the building instead of south from the building. This will remove impacts to root systems of surrounding trees and avoid concerns of disrupting the existing detention pond and drainage easement that was mentioned by other staff. Corrected. Added to the plans. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/19/2019 03/19/2019: FOR APPROVAL: Please update the Title Sheet to include the correct zone district and reference to IBC, NEC and IFC.

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: hftps://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 2 City of Fort Collins Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov. com/developmentreview April 12, 2019 Ryan Sagar LKR Consulting, LLC 350 S Jackson Street, Unit 127 Denver, CO 80209 RE: FTC Sam's Club WTE, BDR190006, Round Number 1 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project.

Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Kai Kleer, 970-416-42845 kkleer@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/19/2019 03/19/2019: FOR APPROVAL: Rooftop installation would be best in this situation. The projection of the antennas are not within the architectural character of the building. A louvered rooftop screen may be best (see sheet Z-3 and Z-4 as an option). Verizon has previously considered a rooftop installation since it would include additional height and improve line of sight past trees and other obstacles that may create signal interreference. However, property owner, Walmart, was not open to the idea of rooftop equipment. Verizon also entertained installation of antennas on existing light poles in the parking lot near the required service locations. Walmart was not open to this design either. This means the only viable design on the property is the mounting of equipment on the existing building walls. As discussed at the 1 sl staff review meeting, Verizon's proposed standoff mount is as flush to the wall as technically feasible even though on paper it may not appear this way. This is partly because a minimum of 12" is required to obtain the required azimuth or direction of service and partly because the existing parapet molding requires another 12" to avoid contact. Verizon's intent at this location was to avoid the main side of the store, co -locate on an existing structure, and blend in with existing architectural elements/design. Ultimately, the general public is likely to view these two standoff antennas as if they are lighting/security features, and my guess is that most people don't even notice them at all despite the 24" standoff.

Corrected Comment Originated: 04/12/2019 Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschiam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/29/2019 03/29/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: 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 3H: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 @fcgov.com to help facilitate getting these permits signed off. Thank you for the comments. Contact: Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418, wlamargue@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/02/2019 04/0212019: The new fiber equipment near the south end of the building is located in a detention pond and a drainage easement. This location could disrupt the flows into the pond and reduce the pond's volume. Mitigation will be required for any impact. Because of concerns with fiber installation near trees and through the drainage easement, the fiber route has been revised. This new route will completely avoid the detention pond and drainage easement.

Upon completion of the discussions, Light & Power agreed that if no additional service is required than no additional utility easements will be required. 5 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Stephanie Blochowiak, 970-416-42909 sblochowiak@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/01/2019 04/01/2019: FOR APPROVAL. Note any negative impacts to landscaping during construction/install will need to be corrected. There should be no impact to trees larger than 6-inch DBH. There will be no impact to trees larger than 6' DBH. No other expected negative impacts to landscaping, but any potential disruptions will be corrected during construction/install. Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha, nsaha@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/25/2019 03/25/2019: FOR APPROVAL: There are existing trees on site, a few of which are fairly close to the proposed easement. What are the projected impacts to the trees? Please schedule an onsite meeting with City Forestry to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information. Existing significant trees should be retained to the extent feasible. This meeting 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 route. The final location is in a gap between existing trees. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/25/2019 03/25/2019: FOR APPROVAL: Please provide a landscape plan that meets the Land Use Code and 3.2.1 requirements. This should include, but is not limited to, the City of Fort Collins General Landscape Notes and Tree Protection Notes.
