Existing utility easements (if any) need to be identified -- a 9 foot utility easement behind the ultimate Lilac Lane right-of-way and a 15 foot utility easement behind the Mulberry Street right-of-way would need to be dedicated if not already in place. Any required dedications have a $250 deed of dedication fee as part of the Transportation Development Review Fee schedule along with recording fees that Larimer County requires to record the document(s). Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/06/2015 10/06/2015: The existing fence encroaches onto Mulberry Street right-of-way. This encroachment will need to be moved outside of the right-of-way. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/06/2015 10/06/2015: The change of use will need to install sidewalk along Mulberry Street and Lilac Lane. The street classification for Mulberry Street would have this sidewalk at 6 feet in width, detached 10 feet from the curb and gutter. Lilac Street's classification would have a 4.5 feet wide sidewalk detached 6 feet from the curb and gutter (in this case edge of pavement). There may be options considered giving the context of the site, such as an attached sidewalk along Lilac Lane, but a detached sidewalk along Mulberry Street is required. Additional right-of-way along Lilac Lane would need to be dedicated to ensure the final approved sidewalk design is in right-of-way. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/06/2015 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project. If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Noah Beals, at 970-416-2313 or nbeals@fcgov.com. Page 1 of 5 10/06/2015: Existing above grade utility infrastructure that would be in between the detached sidewalk along Mulberry Street and the curb and gutter, would need to be either relocated behind the sidewalk a minimum of 2 feet or be in an underground vault.

The existing site allows for fire access from Lilac Lane. No further action needed. Code language provided below. > 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. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/07/2015 10/07/2015: WATER SUPPLY A fire hydrant is required within 300' of any commercial building. The existing utility infrastructure provides a hydrant on the corner of Lilac and E. Magnolia, at approximately 400' away. As there is no exterior changes being made to the building and no additional area being added, the pre-existing hydrant condition will be permitted as a pre-existing condition, and no further action is needed; keeping in mind that any future development on the site may prompt the need for another hydrant in the future. Code language provided below. > IFC 508.1 and Appendix B: COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS: Hydrants to provide 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter.

If your project adds more than 350 square feet (and less than 100 square feet) of new hard surface area or substantially changes the site grading on your lot, the following additional information must be submitted with your application. Hard surfaces are roofs, driveways, and sidewalks or any surface that does not allow water to penetrate into the soil. Using the site plan, show drainage arrows indicating the direction the water flows away from the building and along all property lines. Show the location of the existing and proposed downspouts with flow arrows pointing in the direction the downspouts will be aimed.
