07/17/2013: Thank you for including the callout for the Type I Driveway, please include a detail
in the back at Final. Detail 706 is included on Sheet 7
06/05/2013: Sheet 3 & 4 - The southern driveway will need to be
constructed to City Standard Type I driveway and have concrete to back of Right of Way.
Please provide the Driveway detail in the details.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/05/2013
07/17/2013: The sidewalk will need to have the most recent metal culvert detail which has flares
on the sidewalk. Please include this design and detail at Final. Detail 10B is included on Sheet 7
06/05/2013: Sheet 4 - The
sidewalk will need to be moved to the east so that the back of the sidewalk is on the Right of
Way line.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/05/2013
07/17/2013: This revised design appears it will satisfy the no greater than 750 sq. feet
requirement, However some further discussion at final will need to be had as to the swale
runout after the culvert as the city standard is concrete channel to back of curb. Added concrete
channel from walk to Lemay.
06/05/2013:
Sheet 4 - There is greater than 750 square feet draining from the site across the Southern
Driveway Access. This runoff will need to discharge from the site in a location other than the
driveway. Consider modifying grades and providing a Sidewalk chase on one side of the
Type I Driveway.

06/11/2013: New sidewalk along South Lemay needs to be adjusted to be 5 feet away from the
outer bark of the existing Austrian Pine as it passes by this tree. Show accurate location of the
Austrian Pine on the Utility/Engineering Plans. This has been corrected.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/17/2013
07/17/2013: The utility plan set does not show the sidewalk bending as it passes by the large

and the sidewalk bending around the Austrian Pine as shown on the landscape plan and site
plan. This has been corrected.

06/03/2013: Existing building @ 816 is fed by a 25KVA 120/240v service at the NE corner of
the building. The primary for this transformer runs along the North side of the building from
Lemay Ave. This primary will be in direct conflict with the building expansion. Contact Light &
Power Engineering @ 970-221-6700 early in the process to discuss options. Any relocation or
modification to the existing electric facilities will be at the owners expense. Existing 25kVA
transformer feeding 816 Lemay will be removed once a temporary feed has been
established from the new service. Will note on drawings.

06/03/2013: Field locate all existing electric facilities and show on the site plan. This will help
with any conflicts there may be. All existing site utilities are shown on Civil drawings. Will
note on drawings.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/10/2013
07/10/2013: The existing electric primary to the single-phase 25kva transformer maybe in direct
conflict of the building expansion. This transformer is on a radial feed with no backup. This
could be problematic in keeping the building in power while building the addition. Contact
Light & Power Engineering to discuss options. 970-222-6700. New 600A 3 phase service will
be set at existing car wash first. Once new service is set, a new temporary feed to
the existing vet building will be set and the existing 25kVA transformer and
primary feeder shall be removed to allow access to expand the building north as
planned. After the existing buildings have been connected, a permanent feed to the
existing vet service will be established through the interior of the building. Once
permanent feed has been established, the temporary feed shall be removed. Will
note on drawings.

06/04/2013: FIRE CONTAINMENT
The building exceeds 5000 square feet and shall be sprinklered or fire contained. If
containment is used, the containment construction shall be reviewed and approved by the
Poudre Fire Authority prior to installation. See note below.
Comment Number: 02 Comment Originated: 07/11/2013
07/11/2013: The comment pertaining to FIRE CONTAIMENT (No. 1 above) was originated on
12/14/12 and to date, this concern has not been addressed by the applicant. If fire separation is
being proposed in lieu of sprinklering the building, fire containment needs to be detailed on
the plans. Until then, this comment shall remain active. Otherwise, the building WILL require an
automatic sprinkler system. You may contact me with questions. Approved. Comment was
addressed with a phone conversation with Jim on Sept. 26. Jim did not receive our last
comment letter that stated our previous comments; " The existing 1-hour CMU wall ,
located on the north property line, will remain between the existing building and the
addition. Two new rated door openings will also provided. This wall will also act as
our area separation that complies with the 5,000 SF maximum PFA requires for un-
sprinkled buildings."

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/16/2013
07/16/2013: Show sewer service on the landscape plan and adjust trees accordingly. The sewer
service is now shown on the landscape plan. There was no need to adjust the proposed
trees as they are more than 10’ from the sewer service line. There is one tree that
appears to be on top of the service line but this tree is an existing tree.
I hope the above information is responsive to your plan review comments and will allow the
finalization of the City of Fort Collins Project Development Plan review. Should you have any
