02/14/2014: Please consider adding a row of foundation shrubs along the north elevation of the
building. The north elevation has significant exposure to Taft Hill Road and a row of shrubs will
help soften the building.
A row of foundation shrubs has been considered along the north elevation of the building.
This area is in the future development zone and adding shrubs would not be a permanent
solution, so no shrubs have been added at this time.

12/17/2013: Some outstanding comments remain for the PDR.
a) PUBLIC-SAFETY RADIO AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM - New buildings require a fire
department, emergency communication system evaluation after the core/shell but prior to final
build out. For the purposes of this section, fire walls shall not be used to define separate
buildings. Where adequate radio coverage cannot be established within a building,
public-safety radio amplification systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with
criteria established by the Poudre Fire Authority. Poudre Fire Authority Bureau Admin Policy
#07-01
We will schedule this inspection after drywall has been installed.
b) FDC - Fire Department Connections shall be installed in accordance with NFPA standards.
Fire department connections shall be fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest
point of fire department vehicle access. The location of the FDC shall be approved by the fire
department.
Noted: FDC location will be submitted in sprinkler system permit for Fire Department review
c) All other PFA comments relative to the PDP may be deferred until building permit (e.g.
Fire Alarm, Sprinkler System, Commercial Kitchen Hoods, Knox Box, Premise Identification).

01/28/2014: Erosion Control Report and Escrow still needed. Erosion Control Plan had minor
redlines pertaining to Perimeter Protection on the SW side of the Site, Inlet protection on the to
be installed inlets, and the addition of a sequence chart. If you need clarification concerning
this, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @
jschlam@fcgov.com
Revised Erosion Control Plan and Escrow Estimate have been submitted and approved by Jesse.
Erosion Control Report has been submitted.
12/17/2013: After a quick review of the Landscape plan for temporary and permanent seeding,
it was noted that the plan was a bit confusing with the Key versus In Plan Notes (i.e. hatch work
showed Temporary seeding but notes called out for Permanent seeding and vice-versa) Also,
a seed mix showing the Pure Live Seed ratio would be recommended either on the landscape
plan or later in the erosion control plan. If you need clarification concerning this, or if there are
any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com
Landscape plan has been amended to clarify the permanent vs. the temporary seed areas.
PLS ratio has been added to the seed mix on Sheet L-2.

City is OK with delaying the porous pavers until phase 2. The meeting would focus on the 50%

A concrete forebay has been added to each pond in addition to the proposed PLD system at the bottom of
each pond per meeting with the City Stormwater and Water Quality Departments.
