Topic: General
06/16/2014: Land Use Code (LUC) Section 4.21(E)(2)(a) Pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces shall be
placed next to activity areas that generate users (such as shops and street corners). These spaces
shall be visible from street and sidewalks and should contain amenities such as art and shelters.
Because of the size of this project and its connections to three different streets there should be at least
two pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces.
There should be a pedestrian oriented space along college ave located currently where the
permeable pavers are located this should include pedestrian access to the public sidewalk and to the
entrance of the building.
The other pedestrian-oriented space on the west side should be located closer to the pedestrian
entrance and not the vehicle entrance of the building.
Both areas should include greater detail on the pedestrian use such as seating, tables, art, or shelters.

06/18/2014: LUC 3.5.3(2) Buidlings have a required built-to-line. 30% of the building length shall meet
the built-to-line. Along nonarterial street the build-to-line is 0-15ft. and along arterial street the

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.

Thank you for arranging the first tree evaluation meeting. Please set up a second onsite meeting with
the City Forester to complete the tree inventory and mitigation plan. As part of that meeting some
further review of the north most Ash on Mason can occur to consider desirability of removal or
retention. Initial discussion at the first meeting indicated the tree would remove but some further
discussion could be beneficial in making a final determination.

for this meeting to be effective and is typically scheduled after the Current Planning conceptual review
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.

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

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.
