As the current plan is to provide fire containment, the plan for containment construction shall be reviewed and approved by the Poudre Fire Authority prior to installation. RESPONSE: Building will be provided with a sprinkler connection. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: PRIOR COMMENT FROM PDP Perimeter fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of the building. Since the building will not be provided a fire sprinkler system, the structure reverts to 60' out of access and the limits of the fire lane will need to be adjusted to include a fire lane on the north side of the building with an approved turnaround. RESPONSE: Building will be provided with a sprinkler connection See earlier comment from PDP regarding perimeter access: Prior comment from 03/31/2016: FIRE LANE - Emergency Access Easement details will be provided by time of FDP. The fine lane will need to extend onto the property, along the north side of the building, to 150' in length and no turnaround will be required. The building will be approximately 60' out of access as defined by IFC 503.1.1, however as the building will be provided with an automatic fire sprinkler system, the out of access condition is allowable. Code language provided below. RESPONSE: Building will be provided with a sprinkler connection; no further improvements should have to be made to the site plan. With coordination from the Poudre Fire Authority, a fire access lane has been added to the Utility Plan C-3.0. > 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. When any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler system. RESPONSE: A 24’ fire access easement has been added to the plan set after discussion with Poudre Fire Authority. With the building sprinklered and access easement shown, we are meeting the requirements for quality fire protection.

Please be aware of the following steps and policies regarding the finalization of your documents prior to full building permit review: -- Development Agreement, Contact: Katie Andrews at (970) 221-6501 to coordinate. -- Development Permit Coordination: DCP or excavation permit, utility coordination meeting, etc. Also finalize the coordination of any offsite easements prior to recording of mylars. Contact: Katie Andrews at (970) 221-6501 to coordinate. --Signing and Recording: Three documents are signed. This includes the planning set, utility plans and plat. (No new plat for this project). The planning set is held until the utility plan mylars are signed, then the planning mylars are signed last. It may take several days for staff to gather all of the signatures on the utility plans, and then the planning mylars are signed shortly thereafter. --Land Records Established: Technical Services and GIS will then work on establishing your land records in order to trigger your full building permit review (see below).  Mylars must be recorded and indexed first  GIS steps: plat and easement information entered into CAD,  assignment of addresses (if not assigned),  import land records data into City database,  data is reviewed for accuracy and made available for building permit review. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. --Building Permit Review: Once GIS has completed the land records process above, you are ready to submit for full BP review. Contact, Building Services at 416-2740 if you have questions on the submittal items.
