The transformer feed will likely come from the vault at the corner of Perennial lane and Native Plant Way. Contact Light and Power Engineering, 221-6700, to coordinate the location of the electric feed, transformer, and meter.

On page C1.00 – Please remove the floodplain boundary from this sheet; it is not necessary. 2. On page C4.01, please replace Note 7 with the following: Critical Care Facilities are not allowed in a FEMA-Regulatory Floodplain (100-year and 500 year). Though this building is not in a floodplain at this time, the applicant is aware that if the limits of the existing floodplain change, or a 500-year floodplain is defined, the building may be in a floodplain in the future and the daycare would become a non-conforming use.

Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 11/05/2013 Topic: Site Plan 12/04/2013: The square footage & acreage match the Plat, but the legal description needs to be changed to "Lot 1, Centre For Advanced Technology 23rd Filing". 11/05/2013: The square footage & acreage do not match the Subdivision Plat. This plan shows only improvements on Lot 1, Sunshine House - FC 139, so the legal description should reflect this. Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 11/05/2013 Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Ward Stanford, 970-221-6820, wstanford@fcgov.com Topic: Traffic Impact Study 12/10/2013: On 12-4-13, the applicants TE was requested by City Traffic staff to use a previous version of the Synchro software utlizing the HCM2000 analysis methodologies to analyze the unsignalized intersections. Based upon the results provided by the new Synchro 8 software City Traffic staff had concerns the program was exibiting a flaw in its analysis. The results were signioficantly different than two City programs provided, nor were reasonably close to a recent review completed for The Grove project. Upon re-analyzing the unsignalized intersections with the older progarm version the results were found acceptable. As such, the revised TIS Memo providing the analysis of the unsignalized intersections and the TIS dated November 2013 providing the Center and Prospect signalized analysis are accepted. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/10/2013 Topic: Variance Request 12/10/2013: The Variance request dated December 10, 2013 reqarding the LOS failure of the eastbound approach at the Perennial (old Rolland Moore) and Center 2-way stop sign controlled intersection is accepted. The intersection does not meet warrants for a traffic signal. City analysis also provides that north or south bound right turn lanes added to Center do not improve the eastbound LOS failure. Traffic staff believes requiring the project to constrcut a roundabout at the loaction is an out-of-scale improvement as mitigation for a minor side street failure. City traffic staff also believes the traffic volumes illustrated in the TIS are what is expected at the location. Determination is there is not a solution to the LOS failure in character with the scale of the failure which is only 0.70 (seven-tenths) seconds of delay greater than a non-failing LOS.

This would also move the MH out of the planting bed. 11/05/2013: Re-align the water service to avoid the bend upstream of the curb stop/meter pit. This will also involve the fire line (see redlined plans). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/05/2013 12/02/2013: What is the elevation of the storm sewer at the crossing with the fire line? The lowering on the fire line appears to be fairly small. Would joint deflection be a possible option? Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/02/2013 Department: Zoning Contact: Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355, pbarnes@fcgov.com Topic: Site Plan 11/29/2013: The floor space calculations and numbers have been added. But the note indicating that the enrollment will be 125 - 150 children hasn't been added. 10/25/2013: The 'statement of planning objectives' states that the enrollment will be 125 - 150 children. This note has to be added to the 'land use statistics table'. An enrollment of 150 children will require at least 6000 square feet of indoor floor space devoted to school purposes (closets, bathrooms, kitchens, offices don't count). Since the building is over 10,000 square feet, I assume the standard is met. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/25/2013 Page 4 of 4
