7. Please include a letter with your PUD submittal explaining the
nature of the expansion, the nature of the storage bins, and
the kinds of materials that will be stored in them.
8. Please address the "height guidelines" with narrative, photos,
sketches, etc. to show how the tower will effect views,
especially from Buckingham Park. The applicable objectives
listed in the "height guidelines" are #1, #2, #3, #5, and #6.
The fact that the existing tower is greater than 401, and has
been so for many years should certainly be mentioned in your
narrative. The three submittal requirements for a height
review are 1) a shadow analysis, 2) a visual analysis, and 3)
a PUD statement and planning objectives which evaluate the
shadow and visual analysis and which specifically address the
review criteria listed in the "height guidelines". If you
have questions about this, please don't hesitate to give me a
call and we can go over the requirements.
9. Planning Staff recommends that the new structures be
compatible in color to the existing building.

LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal to remove old storage tanks,
bins, pipes and belts; to add upgraded bins; and to remodel and

renovation work is being done to modernize and increase the
efficiency of operation. The property is zoned IG, General
Industrial.

1. The tower exceeds the 40' height limitation in the City of
Fort Collins and therefore the existing building is a non-
conforming building in the IG, General Industrial, Zoning
District (as opposed to a non -conforming use). The Zoning
Board of Appeals (ZBA) can not grant a variance to the height
requirement and therefore the only way to vary the height
requirement is with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) which
addresses the objectives listed in the "Special Review of
Buildings with Height Over 40 Feet" or "Height Guidelines"
(see attached).
2. If you are not increasing your electrical load, Light and
Power does not have comments. Electrical power will be placed
underground in this area by the City, in late Spring/early
Winter.
3. If you are not increasing your water or sewer requirements,
Water and Wastewater does not have comments.
4. The property is located in the Old Town drainage basin.
Currently, there are no drainage fees for development in this
basin. If you are not proposing to increase the amount of
impervious area, please document this with a letter directed
to the Stormwater Utility and included with your submittal of
plans.
5. There are no on -site detention requirements for this property.
You can release directly to the Poudre River for Stormwater
run-off, as long as water quality issues are addressed.
