If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Kai Kleer, at 970-416-4284 or kkleer@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Rebecca Everette, 970-416-2625, reverette@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/17/2017 08/17/2017: If lighting updates will be incorporated into this project: note that especially for LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any LED light fixtures is preferred. Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and down-directional to minimize up-light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D)(3)]. For further information regarding health effects please see: http://darksky.org/ama-report-affirms-human-health-impacts-from-leds/ Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/17/2017 08/17/2017: If any landscaping will be impacted or removed, it should be replaced with an equivalent amount of landscaping elsewhere on the site. The proposed underground fiber optic cable vault is proposed within a rock landscape bed. Any impacted landscaping including the rocks will be replaced or relocated accordingly. A special side note to this degree has been added on the bottom of page A1.0. Department: Light And Power Contact: Clint Reetz, 970-221-6326, creetz@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: Light and Power can serve the proposed site. The existing 3 phase 300kva transformer on-site has an available connection tap. Commercial services such as these require that an Electrical contractor install the customers secondary cable to the City's transformer. Light and Power will perform the connection at the transformer. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017: Any changes to the existing electric capacity and or location will initiate electric development and system modification charges. Please coordinate power requirements with Light and Power Engineering at 221-6700. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: Please provide a one line diagram and a C-1 form to Light and Power Engineering. The C-1 form can be found at: http://zeus.fcgov.com/utils-procedures/files/EngWiki/WikiPdfs/C/C-1Form.pdf Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: As your project begins to move forward please contact Light and Power Engineering to coordinate the route to the transformer location. Also contact Light and Power if there is an electric meter location, please show the locations on the utility plans. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: You may contact FCU Light & Power, project engineering if you have questions. (970) 221-6700.

Department: PFA Contact: Cal Sheesley, 970-416-2599, csheesley@poudre-fire.org Topic: General 09/05/2017: NO COMMENT Comment Originated: 09/05/2017 PFA has no comment regarding PDP170031. Water supply requirements are met with the hydrants located at the northwest and northeast corners of the property. While perimeter and aerial apparatus access requirements are not fully met when measured from Tamasag, due to the size and scope of the project, these requirements will not be enforced for this development. The antenna shall be addressed using the same address (221 West Prospect) and appears to meet address posting requirements per Google Earth. Department: Planning Services Contact: Kai Kleer, 970-416-4284, kkleer@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/01/2017 09/01/2017: Please provide a photo simulations looking west on W Prospect Rd and looking east on W Prospect Road. Please provide simulations in architectural plans immediately after the title sheet. Photo simulations have been completed and inserted on page PS-1. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/01/2017 09/01/2017: Title sheet indicates zoning as "Employment". This project is located in the Community Commercial (CC), zone district. Title sheet has been updated accordingly. Comment Number:3 Comment Originated: 09/01/2017 09/01/2017: The wall mounted equipment on the north side of the building must be painted to match. Please provide notation on site plan. The wall mounted fiber enclosure will be painted to match the building color. This has been added to the callouts of the fiber enclosure on pages A1.0 and A1.1. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated:09/01/2017 09/01/2017: After a site visit, it has been determined that the relocation of bike racks are in an appropriate location. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017 09/05/2017: Can a material sample of the screening be provided to planning staff? Obtaining material samples are extremely difficult since screening is custom designed and ordered. Due to the inherent financial risk associated with custom orders, the screening isn’t ordered until all permits have been approved. However, Verizon is currently in the process of trying to obtain a specification sheet and a material sample. In order to assist with this request, the material sample may end up not being an exact replica of the color, texture, or pattern of the design that is to be installed. Rather, the sample would be intended to help demonstrate the material consistency and thickness. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017 09/05/2017: Please indicate on the site plan how co-location can be achieved. This can be done by indicating an outline of available space within the proposed structure where other providers can locate. Verizon would prefer to leave up any future co-location details up to the prospective carrier and the property owner due to the varying needs for lease area, line of sight requirements, and overall equipment needed by each carrier. With that said, Verizon will not exclude co-location from taking place. As such, a special comment has been added to page A1.0 declaring that there shall be no act to exclude or attempt to exclude any other provider from using the building, structure, or location. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/21/2017 08/21/2017: No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Erosion Control 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 in a larger development under construction. Therefore, no submittal of Erosion Control Materials are needed at this time. The site however, 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. Near by area inlets should be protected as a good preventative practice. If issues arrise when pulling applicable building permits please email erosion@fcgov.com to ease getting these signed off. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. a copy of the erosion control requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/eroison. If you need clarification concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above please contact myself.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/01/2017 09/01/2017: A legal description of the property where this equipment is located will need to be added to sheet T1. The legal description of the property has been added to page T-1.0. Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-224-6192, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated:08/23/2017 08/23/2017: It is assumed that no water or sewer service is needed for the proposed improvements and existing services will remain unaltered. Please contact Dan Mogen should these assumptions be incorrect. Department: Zoning Contact: Ryan Boehle, 970-416-2401, rboehle@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017 09/05/2017: Please provide an example of how the screening material will match the building's design, color and material. Verizon has included photo simulations to provide clarification on the materials that will be used for the new screening on page PS-1. These details and their reference materials from the existing building have been called out on page A3.1.
