5 General [2/26/07] Xcel Energy comments as follows:
"Xcel Energy has a 2" PEI located in College Ave. We will need a permit to
open-cut College Ave to cut off the existing 3/4" gas service to 215 N. College
and install a new gas service for the added capacity."
New meters would need to be located outside. We have no gas main located
in the rear alley area.

6 General [2/26/07] Comcast responds as follows:
"Comcast needs to see a plat map showing existing or new utility easement
in the alley to feed this project. The closest Comcast facility is located at 281
N. College."

8 General [7/11/08] [2/26/07] The TDRF fees were incorrectly calculated per my
direction - I'm really sorry about that! The good news is that you've got a
credit for $1362.15. We can either refund that to you by check or you can
use it as a credit towards Final Compliance fees and we can refund any
unused portion after that. I've attached a copy of how the fees were
calculated so that you can see how a credit was given for the existing square
footage.

9 Utility Plans [2/26/07] This submittal is good enough to go to mylars with just a couple of
extremely minor comments. Please remove the word "Final" from "Utility
Plans for ". Then correct a couple of overlapped labeling on the grading
sheet and you're good to go. Thanks for the beautiful submittal!

[2/26/07] This is a really excellent submittal. Just have one comment and it's
ready for mylars actually and one question too. First, there is one place on
the sheet that has a scanning issue, that's it. I've highlighted it in pink so you
can find it right away. Last, there is a dumpster area off the alley - the city
doesn't allow the doors to swing out into the ROW but perhaps you could do
a garage door style that rolls up and back? Or perhaps you have another,
better idea?
Resolved 1 Susan Joy 02/26/2007
12 Utility Plans [2/26/07] Whoops - just found an underdrain in the row per the site and
landscape plan. Please show this on the utility plans, how it ties into the
storm system as well as all necessary details. While the city does not allow
subdrains in public rights of way, you can apply for an encroachment permit.
We will need a hydrologic study if groundwater is less than 5' from the original
ground surface per 5.6.1. We can handle all of this in Final Compliance so it
won't prevent you from going to hearing.

14 General [2/26/07] An 8' utility easement is required off the alley. If no utilities are
located there or they don't need it, we could eliminate that requirement. We'll
work through that in Final Compliance as well. No need to delay the hearing!

15 ST-1 [2/26/07] There are already 4 existing handicap-accessible parking spaces
with ramps on the west face of this block, including two in front of the
Autawash, two doors to the north. Randy Hensley in the Parking Services
department says that the existing accessible parking is sufficient to provide
for the uses on this block. In addition, according to Mike Gebo in Building
Inspection, this also satisfies the ADA standards: the off-street parking is
solely for the residential units and there are too few of them to trigger ADA
standards; and the commercial/retail parking will happen in the public
right-of-way. So, the new parking spaces along College should be standard
spaces and there is no requirement for accessible spaces in the interior lot.
Active 1 Anne Aspen 02/26/2007
16 General [2/26/07] Since the building occupies the entire site and the sidewalk has
existing street lights, you do not need to do a lighting plan (photometrics) but
you will need to submit cutsheets as details on the plan set for review.
Remember that fixtures need to be full cutoff.
Active 1 Anne Aspen 02/26/2007
17 ST-1 [2/26/07] Since the time of the conceptual review for this site, a significant
change to the Land Use Code has occurred. There is now a "TOD Overlay
Zone" which includes this site. The only change associated with this zone at
this time is that there is no longer a minimum parking requirement for
multi-family residential. There was already no minimum parking requirement
for commercial uses. So, the parking you provide should be calculated by the
market-based demands.

18 Architecture Plans [2/26/07] You have done an excellent job of designing a building which fits
into its downtown context but which reads as a modern building. The trellage,
street trees and window boxes, pots and baskets will enhance this tight site
very well. This project will really set the bar high for any future
redevelopments. Thank you for your hard work and congratulations on a
great design.

19 Architecture Plans [2/26/07] For now, the 11x17 color architecture plans and shadow study are
really helpful and useful. However, once you get to final plan review, the
elevations will need to be included at 24"x36" in black and white. The
shadow and visual analysis information does not need to be included in the
mylar set.

23 Water/Wastewater [7/8/08] Has "mixed-use" been changed to remove the residential dwelling
units?
[2/27/07] Typically four residential units need a 1" water service. On
residential, the size of water service does NOT affect development fees.

26 Fire [2/28/07] WATER SUPPLY: Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type
approved by the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department.
Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on
type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include:
Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than
300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter. These requirements
may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler
systems. (The closest fire hydrant is located at the northwest corner of
LaPorte and College.) 97UFC 901.2.2.2

35 General [7/7/08] Whilst late into the project, the City is promoting the use of green
building practices in all new construction. Of specific interest are the
following services that you may consider:
1. The solid waste program actively promotes reducing the amount of
material goling into the landfill. The demolition of the existing building will
generate a large volume of waste. Deconstruction of the building should be
explored as a means of reducing the amount of waste that will end up in the
landfill.
2.The Utilities Department has an Integrated Design Assistance Program
(IDAP) that offers financial incentives to work on energy conservation
amongst other aspects of green building.

39 Stormwater [7/11/08] There is 113 cfs flowing north on the west side of College Avenue
during a 100-year event. The depth of flow was estimated in the Old Town
Drainage Master Plan to be around .8 feet, which is about 10 inches. Since
the finished floor of the proposed building is only 10 inches above the flowline
in College Avenue, the City recommends the finished floor be raised as much
as possible with still meeting ADA requirements.

43 Utility Plans [7/11/08] CDOT may have overlayed the original gutter and paved to the
flowline. If this is the case, than the old curb and gutter must be removed in
full and then patched back to standard. Please place a little note to that
effect so that the contractor knows he can't "layer" the curb and gutter.
