In this case I would like to see the proposed transformer location moved to the North West closer to the main entrance, or directly due south. L&P trucks are too big to access the transformer from the drive-thru. ••The transformer has been moved directly due south.

Sign locations are to follow the requirements set forth in LUCASS drawing #1419 (75' spacing). -Two additional signs are required along the south edge of Lot 2. One located near the parking lot light, identifying the Emergency Access Easement (EAE) to the south and one located at the curb between the two side walk curb ramps south west of the proposed building. -The three proposed signs along the east side of the proposed EAE can be reconfigured. two signs can cover the east side of the EAE, spaced 75' apart. The third sign can be relocated to the west side of the EAE, on the small landscape peninsula between the two parking spans. **"FIRE LANE NO PARKING" with directional arrows below is the sign detail the fire department prefers.** 1385 S. Colorado Blvd, Penthouse Denver, CO 80222 (O)303.778.0608 (F) 303.778.0609 ••The fire lane signs have been reconfigured as requested, and the fire lane sign design has been updated to the preferred design. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/18/2017 07/18/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN The proposed Landscape Plan indicates that tree canopy diameters may encroach on the fire lane over time. Four proposed trees appear exist within the proposed EAE. PFA would like to ensure the integrity of the EAE remains as the trees mature and a canopy develops. The EAE shall be maintained to 14' in height. This comment is aimed to preserve the trees and the fire apparatus. ••The trees that may encroach upon the EAE have been relocated. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/18/2017 07/18/2017: FIRE LANE For clarity and consistency, the EAE shall be expanded to the full width of the proposed north-south drive lane. Revised plans indicating the fire lane as the full width shall be required. Aligning the proposed EAE with the existing EAE on lot 1 would clean the plans up and prevent confusion moving forward. ••The EAE has been updated to be the full width of the north-south drive lane. Revised linework for a 25-foot wide EAE (full width of the proposed north and south drive lane) has been drafted and supplied to the project surveyor for the preparation of an Easement Dedication Exhibit. Revised linework and labels have added to the affected plan sheets for this submittal.

The selection of species must be made from the approved list per the City Forester. ••The tree species selected is in accordance with the City-approved list. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/19/2017 07/19/2017: The Landscape Plan indicates a small turf area, approximately 10¿ x 50¿ located behind the sidewalk near the front of the store. This is a relatively small area and may be difficult to irrigate and mow over the long term. Staff recommends that this area be filled in with shrubs and perennials, featuring a mix of Evergreen and Deciduous plants, with drip irrigation instead. Be sure to select plants of sufficient height in order to contribute to screening the drive-through lane. Staff recommends adding a cluster of Iseli Fastigiate (Columnar Spruce) for excellent vertical form and year-round color. ••The recommended landscaping has been included in the Landscape Plan.

Please show these spaces on the Landscape Plan as well and note that the island needs a shade tree and shrubs to cover. ••The shade tree and shrubs have been added. The Landscape Plan has been updated. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/19/2017 07/19/2017: With the southwest elevation being the back of the building, please adjust the Landscape Plan so that a sufficient amount of trees and shrubs are placed in such a way as to screen the electrical meter, electrical panel, gas meter and any other appurtenances that are associated with utilities or other mechanical equipment. This elevation faces north-bound College Avenue traffic and is highly visible. ••The landscaping has been redesigned to mask the equipment at the southwest elevation of the building. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/19/2017 07/19/2017: On the Site Plan, Note Number Four, please delete the sentence that begins “In cases where building parapets do not accomplish sufficient screening,…”. This plan needs to ensure, not suggest, that all rooftop mechanical equipment will, in fact, be totally screened by the extent of the parapets. The building is too small to have visible rooftop R.T.U.’s. ••The sentence has been omitted and the note reworded to ensure total screening. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/19/2017 07/19/2017: Will there be any future development on this parcel? If so, please indicate on the Site Plan. ••There are no plans for future development at this time. The Site Plan has been updated to reflect this.

The LID mitigation is required to be volume based. This would require a bio-retention basin, or the use of porous pavers. The City suggests a meeting to discuss options. •• Response: The water quality section of the Drainage Letter has been expanded to show that the Approved Drainage Report for Eckerd Drug included volume based water quality mitigation analysis for the areas of the proposed site tributary to the existing pond. The required water quality capture volume has been reduced from the approved to the proposed conditions and the existing pond is adequately sized to treat flows from the tributary areas of the proposed site.
