Topic: General
06/12/2014: Per the submitted site plan there is 174,600 sq ft of new building being added to the site,
therefore the TDRF for PDP is less than was shown and calculated on the TDRF applicaiton. Unless
the square footage changes this project will only owe $125 for the TDRF FDP fee because of the
overpayment of the PDP fee.

08/19/2014: Please remove the type III barricade at the north side of the property where the 10ft
sidewalk ties into existing sidewalk. Can a temp concrete wedge be placed to transition the sidewalks
rather than placing a barricade?
06/25/2014: The sidewalk along College Ave should be extended as the 10 foot wide sidewalk further
north and transition to a narrower sidewalk just before the property line.

08/19/2014: 2. Per current road standards for an arterial roadway, a 15ft utility easement should be
provided along the College Ave frontage of the property. If this utility easement is not needed by
utility providers the 15ft UE requirement may be reduced in size or waived. Coordination with utility
providers (COFC Water, COFC Light and Power, COFC Storm water, Comcast, Century Link, Public
Service Company of Colorado) is needed to determine if this easement is needed.

DRAFT
08/19/2014: Please widen the 10ft sidewalk along College Ave where it ties into the new handicap
ramp on Kensington. There is an existing traffic signal box located at the front of walk. Typically,
vertical encroachments need to be located a minimum 2ft clear from the sidewalk. By widening the
sidewalk on the backside it gives bikes and pedestrians room to maneuver around the traffic signal
box. This may require widening of the ped easement on the plat. See redlines.

meeting. Applicants of new commercial or multi-family projects are advised to call 416-2341 to
schedule a pre-submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to present site plans, floor plans,
and elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage and type of
construction being proposed.

Topic: General
06/10/2014: The existing electric capacity to this service is 1600 amps at 120/208 volt three-phase.
Additional electric capacity fee for any increase will apply. A Commercial Electric Service (C-1) form
will need to be completed and supplied to Light & Power Engineering.
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014
08/08/2014: It is estimated that the new electric transformer will require a minimum of 13 feet between
the building and the back of the curb at the parking lot. By the utility plan it appears that less than 10
feet is available.
06/10/2014: Relocation of the electric transformer will be at the owner's expense. The space shown
on the utility plan for the relocated transformer may not be adequate. Based on likely electric capacity,
and the resulting likely transformer size, the minimum east to west dimension required will be at least
10 feet. If the transformer is larger, additional space will be necessary. The transformer can be sized
upon receipt of a completed C-1 form. Contact Light & Power Engineering at (970)221-6700 with any
questions.

Topic: General
06/16/2014: I've reviewed the above submittal. Based upon the TIS, it appears that the intersection of
Kensington and College will see an increase of traffic of more than 20%. Per the State Highway
Access Code, the increase allows CDOT to re-evaluate the access and to require a new access
permit.
The review of the intersection indicates that no new highway improvements are necessary, but the
applicant should be required to obtain a new access permit.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

06/25/2014: STRUCTURES EXCEEDING 30'
Due to the height of the parking garage, a 30' wide fire lane is required adjacent to the longest side of
the structure. This requirement has not been satisfactorily met with the proposed site plan and further
discussion is needed. Additionally, the 30' EAE width requirement shall be reflected on the plat.
IFC Appendix D; Poudre Fire Authority Administrative Policy 85-5: In order to accommodate the
access requirements for aerial fire apparatus (ladder trucks), required fire lanes shall be 30 foot wide
minimum on at least one long side of the building. At least one of the required access routes meeting
this condition shall be located within a minimum of 15 feet and a maximum of 30 feet from the building,
and shall be positioned parallel to one entire side of the building.
