The juniper bed dimensions should be labeled and the number of plants to be planted in a planting table. 07/16/2014: Is this a combined site and landscape plan? If so the landscaping should be included. Please outline the juniper planting bed and number of plants in each. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/16/2014 03/17/2015: What is the drive aisle width of the compact spaces? 09/02/2014: The stall dimensions will need to be labeled. It seems that there is not enough aisle room for stall labeled 11 and 10 possibly more depending on the stall dimensions. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/02/2014 03/17/2015: Stalls along the north property line will need to be surfaced with asphalt or concrete. The new parking areas are required a 5ft landscape setback. This can be reduced through additional screening. It is suggest a 3ft wrought-iron fence with vegetation could provide adequate screening. This would be both the north and south parking areas. 09/02/2014: Stalls along north property line will need to be surfaced with asphalt or concrete. What screening of the vehicle use area along the north property line is included?

Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 03/17/2015 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Sheri Langenberger, 970-221-6573, slangenberger@fcgov.com Topic: General Page 2 of 7 09/01/14: This is labeled on the plans. Additional information on the dedication process and cost can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php The deed will need to be finalized and accepted prior to final approval of this project. 07/15/2014: Additional right-of-way needs to be dedicated along the frontage of the property. I don¿t know exactly how much is to be dedicated, but want right-of-way so that there is 17 feet from the existing flowline of the street. The distance allows for the future parkway and detached sidewalk that is a part of the college avenue cross section. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/15/2014 03/18/15: The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the existing driveway prior to starting the driveway work. 09/01/14: Since the driveway will not be closing the applicant will need to work with CDOT regarding a new/updated access permit for this driveway. The driveway shall be a one way driveway and that needs to be noted on the site plan and appropriate signage shown to be installed on the plans, so it is clear that cars are not to enter from the wrong way. 07/15/2014: For the driveway closure: The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the closure (no cost). The driveway cut would need to be replaced along College Ave with vertical curb and gutter.

Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/03/2014 03/18/2015: Showing a trash enclosure adjacent to the alley. Where are the doors? They can’t swing into the alley. Need to provide a design for this or notes that identify where the door locations will be and that they are not to swing into the alley. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/18/2015 In reading the comment responses it states that there will be pervious pavers installed for the parking area along the north side of the lot. There is no way in looking at the plan that that could be known that that is the intent.03/18/2015: Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/18/2015 03/18/2015: If you are dedicating 9 feet of right-of-way then the distance on the plans should not be labeled as +- 9 feet but as a definitive 9.0 feet. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/18/2015 The ROW dedication document. We will not accept this with a reference to a site plan within the legal description. 03/18/2015: Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 03/18/2015 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com Topic: General 07/11/2014: No comments. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/11/2014 Department: Forestry Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361, tbuchanan@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Page 3 of 7 03/17/2015: Further discussion of this item appears needed in reference to location of the trash facility if required and the alternatives under discussion related to placing parking near the tree. 09/03/2014: The current plan shows the alternate trash enclosure location at the large cottonwood at the SE corner of the site. The parking stall just to the west appears to be less than 3 feet from the tree. The extent of the pavers near this tree is not very not clear. Please review these conflicts and consider if the parking stall can be shifted to the west or possibly not included to provide better protection to the tree. The City Forester is available to meet on site if needed to help evaluate. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/03/2014 03/17/2015: Thank you for adding the proposed Yellowood tree NW of the building. Mitigation trees need to be upsized, and in the case of Yellowwood which is an ornamental tree the mitigation size is 2.5 inch caliper. Please record the size of the Yellowwood in the Tree/Planting Legend as 2.5 inch caliper.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/30/2014 Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, jlynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General FIRE ACCESS 03/18/2015: Contrary to the applicant's comment in the most recent response letter, fire access requirements for this site have NOT been met. Prior fire department comment from 09/03/2014 (below), remains active. An Emergency Access Easement on the property will be needed or the building will require a fire sprinkler system as a means for offsetting the lack of access condition. Fire lane standards require 20' width but the fire marshal will allow a four foot width reduction (to 16'). Plan revisions will need to be reviewed prior to approval. 09/03/2014: FIRE LANES The issue of fire access to this property needs to be revisited. It's now my understanding the proposal to share a drive aisle with the commercial property to the south has been rescinded and fire access will need to be achieved on-site as we cannot take access off of College Ave. Please contact me to discuss this further. Code reference provided below. Code language and Fire lane specifications are provided below. IFC 503.1.1: Fire Lanes shall be provided to within 150' of all portions of the building, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. When fire lanes cannot be provided, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler system. FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: > Shall be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. > Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance. > Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons. > Dead-end fire access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. > The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. Turning radii shall be detailed on submitted plans. > Be visible by painting and/or signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. > Additional access requirements exist for buildings greater than 30' in height. Refer to Appendix D of the 2012 IFC or contact PFA for details. International Fire Code 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.5, 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D; FCLUC 3.6.2(B)2006 and Local Amendments.

Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/17/2015 Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Martina Wilkinson, 970-221-6887, mwilkinson@fcgov.com Topic: Site Plan Page 6 of 7 03/17/2015: The response letter indicates that the application for the change in use permit from CDOT is attached. I didn't see it in the packet. This permit will be needed to be completed before the applicant can use the driveway in the manner shown. 09/02/2014: Since the shared drive concept is abandoned, the existing drive will be used. CDOT appears to be supportive of this. The drive needs to be one way (inbound only), and a change in use permit will be needed from CDOT. 07/16/2014: The shared driveway off College Avenue needs to function as an appropriate high volume drive that accesses a state highway. If it's being used for 2-way traffic, it would need to accommodate 2-way traffic for at least some distance from street.
