Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 6
10/30/2018 FOR APPROVAL:
RF screen does not represent the design of the existing building's block work. More discussion is needed
around this and will require a follow up comment after there is a clear understanding of what is needed.
[RESPONSE] The concealment screen has been designed to match the existing banding
courses and painted Tan to match. Stucco Texture will be added to the Flat Faces 8x8 to
simulate the Concrete Finish, joints between the Faces will be white painted to match the
existing mortar joints.
06/26/2018 FOR APPROVAL:
Greater design detail of the RF screen is required. How will the structure be textured to match the buildings
CMU? The facility will need to incorporate a design that imitates the existing CMU banding. The design
detail should show how screen wall texturing will create depth. Please also include flashing that is
consistent with what exists on the site.
Topic: Landscape Plans
Comment Number: 2
10/30/2018 FOR APPROVAL:
A landscape plan was not provided during 2nd round. Project will need another round of review before
proceeding.
[RESPONSE] The site has been completely redesigned and all previous Ground Based
equipment has been moved to the roof. No ground-based improvements are included with this
design.

06/26/2018:
A Landscape Plan is required and will need to show the following:
What species and how many shrubs will be impacted by the proposed equipment enclosure.
How the equipment enclosure will be screened by additional landscape. Keep in mind that a total screening
affect at the base of the enclosure is required. Heavy emphasis should be placed on the use of coniferous
plants. General landscape plan notes are required. Please visit our website at
fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications and find 'PDP Standard Notes' for more information.
This project will bring the existing landscape peninsula out of compliance with 3.2.1(E)(5). Please think
about how the impacted shrubs can be mitigated. Alternative compliance for this standard should
demonstrate innovative design and use of plant materials and other landscape elements where the shrubs
are proposed to be removed.
Topic: Site Plan
Comment Number: 3
10/30/2018 FOR APPROVAL:
Please add note to plan stating, "No wireless telecommunication facility or equipment owner or lessee or
employee thereof shall act to exclude or attempt to exclude any other wireless telecommunication provider
from using the same building, structure or location. Wireless telecommunication facility or equipment
owners or lessees or employees thereof, and applicants for the approval of plans for the installation of such
facilities or equipment, shall cooperate in good faith to achieve co-location of wireless telecommunication
facilities and equipment. Any application for the approval of a plan for the installation of wireless
telecommunication facilities or equipment shall include documentation of the applicant's good faith efforts
toward such cooperation."
[RESPONSE] The Site Plan sheet has been updated to include this note
06/26/2018:
To comply with 3.8.13(B), this project will need to demonstrate how future providers can co-locate on the
proposed antenna array. This can be achieved by showing outlines of where antenna locations for future
co-location can fit and where an additional equipment cabinet can be located within the enclosure.

10/29/2018: FOR APPROVAL:
The plans now show the proposed equipment sitting directly on top of an existing storm pipe. This isn’t
allowed. The proposed equipment and conduits must be placed a minimum of 6’ away from the existing
storm pipe or the storm pipe must be moved to a location that shows the separation requirements are met.
[RESPONSE] The site has been completely redesigned and all previous Ground Based
equipment has been moved to the roof.
07/09/2018: There is an existing 6-inch PVC drain line located through the proposed lease area that
needs to be located and shown on the plans. The depth will also need to be verified and shown on
the plans to ensure that any surface or subsurface improvements (i.e. conduit runs) don't impact or
damage the existing drain line.

10/29/2018: FOR APPROVAL:
Please add a note to the plans that indicates to the contractor that they are to stay out of the drainage area,
meaning no driving across or compacting the drainage/water quality swale area.
[RESPONSE] The site has been completely redesigned and all previous Ground Based
equipment has been moved to the roof. No ground-based improvements are included with
this design, and construction activities will not be necessary in the drainage/water quality
swale area.
07/09/2018: There is a stormwater quality swale located along the property frontage along Riverside
(where your plans show riprap). This area needs to be protected from construction activities and in specific,
not driven on. Construction fencing or some sort of barrier needs to be shown on the plans to keep
contractors out of the drainage area. In addition, some form of erosion control should be placed along the
top of bank between the drainage area and the construction area to protect the swale from sediment and
runoff during construction activities.

Topic: Floodplain
Comment Number: 4
07/09/2018: This property is in the Old Town 100-year Flood Fringe. A Floodplain Use Permit must be
submitted and approved before any construction can begin on the ground level equipment and the
enclosure associated with it. Please add notes indicating this to the FTC East Dale plan set.

10/29/2018: FOR APPROVAL:
The Houska Tire and Lube plans show the water service to the building going through this area
somewhere. Per the previous comment, this water meter and service needs to be located and the proposed
design needs to show that the equipment and conduits are a minimum of 6’ away from the existing water
service and if crossing the existing water service perpendicularly, then the conduits must be shown to cross
over or above the water service with a minimum of 18” clearance. 07/09/2018: There is an existing water
service with a curb stop and meter located in the vicinity of the proposed lease area. The service needs to
be located and shown on the plans. The lease area cannot overlap the service line.
[RESPONSE] The site has been completely redesigned and all previous Ground Based
equipment has been moved to the roof. The Water Service line is depicted on the Survey
sheets and Site Plans. Proposed Fiber Entrance is shown separated by 13+ ft.

The transformer that feeds 901 Riverside sits on the neighboring property. The new service from the
existing transformer will be the owner’s responsibility. I recommend that the new electric service be placed
in an easement.
[RESPONSE] The site has been completely redesigned and all previous Ground Based
equipment has been moved to the roof, and as such the site will be powered off the
Existing Buildings power thru a sub-meter.

The existing transformer may need to be upgraded depending on power requirements. Please provide a
commercial service information form (C-1 form) and a one-line diagram will need to be completed and
submitted to Light & Power Engineering for review. A link to the C-1 form is below:
