However, the new site plan appears to indicate that the slope of this fire lane is up to 11.8%. The maximum acceptable slope for an approved fire lane is 10%. Some clarification of this will be required before the proposal can be accepted. Should the slope of the fire lane be greater than 10%, then the requirement will be that the east building will be designed with an approved fire sprinkler Page 5 of 9 125 South Howes Street 10th Floor • Fort Collins, CO 80521 • p: 970.672.8394 • f: 970.616.3002 www.ernstengineering.com | info@ernstengineering.com system.

[Unable to add trees due to existing sewer/water lines north of warehouse, instead added large shrubs as discussed with Kai Kleer.] Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/29/2018 05/21/2018: A determination from CDOT has not been been made whether or not parking will be permitted to remain. [CDOT Confirmed no ownership of frontage road right -of-way, See Comment response to Engineering # 4 and references for detail. Ft Collins is the jurisdiction with authority to administer the right-of- way] Two different scenarios could happen. If CDOT permits the existing parking to remain the landscape median will need to be brought into compliance by replacing dead or dying shrubs, adding a street tree, and installing plant material to the north and south side of the parking lot perimeter. If CDOT does not permit the existing parking to remain, the parking area will need to be removed and planted with grass, street tree, and landscaping. [The existing public parking and Page 6 of 9 125 South Howes Street 10th Floor • Fort Collins, CO 80521 • p: 970.672.8394 • f: 970.616.3002 www.ernstengineering.com | info@ernstengineering.com landscaping was requested, reviewed and approved by Larimer County and Ft Collins in a previous approved Site Plan for the site. The property, right of way, and improvements within the right-of-way were Annexed by Ft Collins in 2003 by Ordinance. It is our position that the parking curb gutter and paving have been previously approved by Ft Collins on two previous occasions and therefore does not meet the Code definition of an encroachment. The rights and responsibilities for liability and maintenance of these improvements curb, gutter, pavements are defined in municipal code so no special agreement is needed between the property owner and the city] [The existing parking spaces in the right-of-way are not counted in the Site plan parking counts and are not required to meet the parking standards for the two buildings on the adjacent Site and notes have been addd to the site plan clarifying this.] [Added 3 street trees, replaced existing poor quality shrubs with 9 new shrubs to west and north of parking lot. South of parking is outside of property lines.] Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/29/2018 05/29/2018: Please add all applicable site plan and landscape plan notes.

Please contact the Water Utilities Engineering if this changes and site improvements warranted. [Acknowledged - no change] Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/22/2018 05/22/2018: No Comment from Erosion Control at this time. Based upon the submitted Planning Materials it has been determined that this site; disturbs less than 10,000 sq. ft., is not in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than 3H:1V), and is not part of a larger common development under construction. Therefore, no submittal of Erosion Control Materials are needed at this time (if this site substantially changes in size or design where the above criteria are anticipated, erosion control materials should be submitted in such a case). Though the site at Page 7 of 9 125 South Howes Street 10th Floor • Fort Collins, CO 80521 • p: 970.672.8394 • f: 970.616.3002 www.ernstengineering.com | info@ernstengineering.com this time requires no erosion control material submittal, it still must be swept and maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash & debris, landscape materials and other pollutants from entering the storm sewer at all times in accordance with City Code 26-498 or erosion and sediment control measures will be required of the site. Nearby area inlets should be protected as a good preventative practice. If at building permit issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcgov.com to help facilitate getting these permits signed off.
