(attached) Please conform with these guidelines. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 Topic: Landscape Plans 01/12/2016: Please provide dense landscaping along the east side of your parking lot to buffer the headlights from Timberline Road. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The landscape plan should be consistent with the Timberline Center which has tight clusters of Snow Crab Apple and Blue Spruce. The landscaping along the Timberline Road frontage needs to be much denser. Please see redlines. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 Topic: Site Plan 01/12/2016: The parking chart appears to be incorrect. According to my calculations, the total minimum requirement is 21 spaces and maximum is 46 spaces. Also, the square footage does not total the 8361 s.f. as noted. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The proposed Long-Term Parking Stalls are not appropriate for this entire development proposal, perhaps only for the Office portion. Sec. 5.1.2 - Long-term parking shall mean parking which has limited turnover during a normal working weekday. Long-term parking includes employee-type parking or residential-type parking. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: How does this lot connect to the lot south? Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Please show the Utility and Drainage Easement along Timberline Road. (Sheet 2) Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The Existing Conditions Sheet (Sheet 3) doesn't show the existing blanket utility easement. The building envelope and blanket easement shows what is being proposed with the replat. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Will this development be removing & repairing the landscape islands on Lot 2, Timberline Center, Second Filing? An offsite easement will be required to perform the work. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Show sidewalk width on Timberline Road Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Show and label all easements with labels. It is unclear where easement boundary is to the west. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The drainage memo indicates the parking to the north of the building will be pervious pavers. Please change the Utility Plans (and other plans) to indicate the pavers. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Will the drainage along the south of the building include sidewalk chases or will they be piped? Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Please take a look at the Overall Grading Plan sheet (Sheet 8). It looks like there are a couple low spots that won't drain. Also, there are a couple spot elevations that do not match the elevations that were approved for Lot 2, Timberline Center, Second Filing. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The proposed bio-swale to the south of the property needs to be in a drainage easement. Currently it is within the building envelope. Please adjust the boundary and plat to reflect this change. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 Page 2 of 8 01/12/2016: Label all details on Sheet 12 as On-Site Only. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The slope and drainage easement at the southeast corner of the property is no longer needed.

Cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/11/2016 01/11/2016: Are the proposed sconces full cutoff and down-directional? It's hard to tell from the spec sheet - please clarify.

This transformer and the electrical lines must be in a utility easement. The location of this transformer needs to be determined to ensure that it is currently in a utility easement. If it is not an easement will need to be obtained. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/13/2016 01/13/2016: Transformer and meter location needs to be coordinated with Light & Power and shown on the drawings. Transformer must have an 8 feet front and 3 feet side/rear clearance. It must also be situated 10 feet of a drive over surface.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/05/2016 01/05/2016: FDC Location of the FDC will be determined at time of building permit.

In looking at the plans, a few rock check dams in the concrete pan to the east of the project should be install as this is where the inlets from this construction site feed to and would be a good location to have protected and to clean out any material that inadvertently left the site. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/28/2015 Contact: Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418, wlamarque@fcgov.com Topic: General 01/12/2016: The LID techniques proposed to meet the City's LID requirement needs to be determined before a public hearing. The current site plan only supports porous pavement and other techniques would not coincide with the current site plan. A bio-retention facility could not be accommodated with the current site plan. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Porous asphalt is not an LID techniques that is supported by the City at this time. Porous pavers is the only approved technique supported by the City at this time. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: More clarification is required for the layout of the sub-basins. Basins 1 and 2 do not match with the grading between these two basins. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Please clarify if any run-on area is being proposed onto the porous pavement. It is unclear if flows from additional pavement (including off-site) will be directed toward the pavers. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: Please include the City's standard LID table to document if the site is meeting the LID requirement. Run-on area (maximum 3:1) onto the paver section can be included in the calculation. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/12/2016 01/12/2016: The bio-swale at the southern edge of the site looks to be taking a large amount of flow. The swale needs to be sized to treat the area draining to it. these type of swales can not be counted as LID treatment unless they are sized appropriately.

As other lots have come in, there hasn't been parking directly on this aisle (i.e. burger king and proposed coffee shop).
