10/05/2016: Is the electrical primary routing going north/south along the west side of
project going to be located on the east or west side of the existing fence? If it is
located on the west side of the fence, is this still within the utility easement? If it is
located on east side then coordination will need to be done to relocate the large
equipment being shown on Google Earth. If boring needs to be done to accomodate
this equipment, this will come at an extra expense.

10/06/2016: FIRE LANE MARKING
The limits of the existing and proposed fire lane shall be fully defined with signage. If
this has not already been provided for, fire lane signage will be required along all
portions of the entire site at this time. Fire lane sign locations should be indicated on
the plan sets as the building permit will not be routed to PFA to prompt field
inspection or final CO. Code language provided below.
> IFC D103.6: Where required by the fire code official, fire apparatus access roads
shall be marked with permanent NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs complying with
Figure D103.6. Signs shall have a minimum dimension of 12 inches wide by 18
inches high and have red letters on a white reflective background. Signs shall be
posted on one or both sides of the fire apparatus road as required by Section
D103.6.1 or D103.6.2.

11/03/2016: While the photo simulations have been updated to reflect the removal
of the cap, the photo simulations show the same color as before. Staff had
discussed changing the color from what was originally proposed. Please change the
color to either a green as discussed prior or a desert tan.
10/04/2016: Update all of the photo simulations to reflect the paint color proposed.

10/04/2016: For your hearing, please come with information about your site
selection process and the need for a 70' structure. You will need to outline the
reasons why co-location in this area is a challenge in order to justify the height you
are seeking for this facility.

11/03/2016: Change note 1 under Tower Notes on page C-2. The note should say,
"Tower to be painted 'Big Chill' or 'Oyster White'," but should also contain the
product ID #'s from the paint supplier. This way the paint color will be on file so the
City can confirm compliance. You should also change the paint names and colors to
the final color selected.

11/04/2016: minor comments on the drainage memo. These were emailed back to
Caleb on 11/4/16. These can be addressed at Final. We are ready for hearing.
09/20/2016: Drainage Memo ¿ as per a comment on the last round of review, a
drainage memo still does need to be provided. (This comment was also provided
previously in the emailed redlines back to Caleb on 3/9/16.) A drainage memo
should include at a minimum:
a.summary description of the project;
b. existing ground conditions (ground covers, direction of flow);
c. proposed ground conditions (areas of added imperviousness and overall effective
imperviousness);
d. explanation of how the silo and most of the equipment are on platforms, thus
greatly reducing the amount of imperviousness on the site;
e. statement of compliance with the requirements of the Fort Collins Stormwater
Criteria (how you¿re meeting the <1000 sf imperviousness requirement which
allows this project to forego stormwater detention, water quality, and LID
requirements)
