Contact Light and Power Engineering to coordinate the transformer and electric meter locations. Please show these locations on the utility plans. Transformers need to have an 8’ frontal and 3’ side/rear clearance. It also has to be 10’ within a drivable surface and cannot be located under the drip zone of any trees.

An Emergency Access Easement will be required to connect with the existing EAE already serving the business facility to the north. Code language and fire lane specifications will apply. > IFC 503.1.1: Approved fire Lanes shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. 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' minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance (EAE dedicated at 20' width however the actual road width may be reduced to 16' for this particular application.) > Be designed as a flat, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons. Compacted road base is acceptable in this application. > 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.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/09/2016 Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: General Page 3 of 5 02/08/2016: There was discussion in the Conceptual Review Meeting for this project that was related to the approved plans for this parcel for Colorado Iron and Metal. I believe there were two options to move forward with site design that came out of that discussion. a. If the Wireless Telecommunication Facility is planned to be a part of that larger development plan for Colorado Iron and Metal, then we will need to see those plans with the appropriate revisions that show this telecommunications facility incorporated. Grading and drainage information would need to be updated accordingly. b. If the Wireless Telecommunication Facility is planned to be built on its own and the Colorado Iron and Metal plans are not going to move forward, then an entire new set of construction plans for this project will be required. This would include grading, drainage, erosion control plans as well as requirements set forth by the Engineering Department. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: It looks like the plans show an increase in impervious ground cover of at least 1000 square feet and as such a drainage report and construction plans (grading, drainage, and erosion control plans) are required and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado and in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. New plans or updates to the Colorado Iron and Metal plans will be required. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Onsite detention is required for the runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed flow rate and the 2-year historic release rate. In the Dry Creek basin the 2-year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre. A new drainage analysis and report or updates to the existing drainage report for Colorado Iron and Metal will be required. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-form s-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required on all new or redeveloping property which includes sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the two following options: a. 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. b. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Per Colorado Revised Statute §37-92-602 (8) effective August 5, 2015, criteria regarding detention drain time will apply to this project. As part of the drainage design, the engineer will be required to show compliance with this statute using a standard spreadsheet (available on request) that will need to be included in the drainage report. Upon completion of the project, the engineer will also be required to upload the approved spreadsheet onto the Statewide Compliance Portal. This will apply to any volume based stormwater storage, including extended detention basins and bio-retention cells.
