Department: Light And Power Contact: Austin Kreager, 970-224-6152, Uakreager@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/08/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: There is a small single phase transformer near the entrance to the parking lot. Depending on your power requirements, you can either come to that transformer or we will need to do significant system modifications to service this new structure with power. We look forward to working out these issues with you. Response: Please see attached utility plan included within the ZD’s. Comment Number: 2 01/08/2019: FOR HEARING: Your site plan has a callout naming two pieces of equipment transformers. They are indeed our facilities, but they are switch cabinets, not transformers. They will not be useful to your project. Please correct this note for the next round. 3 Response: This has been removed. Comment Number: 3 01/08/2019: FOR HEARING: Once it is determined where your power source will be located, we will need all of our facilities to be located in a utility easement. If a new transformer is installed, 100% of our primary line as well as our transformer will need to be in an easement. If you go to the existing transformer, all of that primary line and transformer will need to be in an easement. Response: See attached utility design included with the ZD’s. Comment Number: 4 01/08/2019: FOR FINAL: Please provide a one line diagram and a C-1 form to Light and Power Engineering.

Response: Please see attached revised plans with notations on ZD-1.0 Department: PFA Contact: Andrew Rosen, 970-416-2599, Uarosen@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 12/31/2018: INFORMATION ONLY: 2018 IFC CODE ADOPTION: Poudre Fire Authority and the City of Fort Collins (Town of Timnath, Larimer County) are in the process of adopting the 2018 International Fire Code. Code adoption is anticipated in early 2019. Building plan reviews shall be subject to the adopted version of the fire code in place at the time of plan review submittal and permit application. Comment Number: 2 12/31/2018: FOR HEARING: ACCESS: >Access is required to within 150ft of all portions of the exterior perimeter of the structure. This cannot be measured from Drake Avenue because it is classified as an arterial street therefore a Fire Lane will be established in the drive aisle of the parking area closest to Drake Avenue to provide this access. It can extend from the main entrance from Drake Rd, along the south drive aisle and exit onto Drake Rd at the west end of the parking lot. >This Fire Lane shall be shown on the Plat as an Emergency Access Easement or dedicated by separate legal document. Response: Please see attached revised plans with those notations addressed. 5 Comment Number: 3 12/31/2018: FOR FINAL: To assist with prompt emergency response the address should be clearly visible from the street on the new facility. Comment Number: 4 12/31/2018: INFORMATION ONLY: GATING: A Master brand padlock is shown on the plans for the facility gate which is appropriate for this location. Should the Applicant require greater security, then an approved Knox brand padlock should be used. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Kelly Smith, Uksmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/07/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: This comment reflects the requirement found within the ECS memo to conduct a raptor survey along Spring Creek if construction is to occur any time during the nesting season (February 15 through July 15). If construction is scheduled to coincide with the nesting season, the survey should be conducted two weeks prior to the start date of the project. The primary concern for the timing of development is protection of nesting birds adjacent to the Property. If construction does not coincide with the nesting season, a raptor survey is unnecessary. Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, 224-616-1992, Umroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 01/10/2019: BEFORE HEARING: City Forestry visited the site on 1/9/19 to obtain existing tree inventory and mitigation information (see attached). We are having a hard time picturing the monopine fitting in this tight space between the two Ash trees without some potentially extensive pruning done to both trees. We would like the applicant to consult a local, licensed, and certified arborist to evaluate if the two Ash trees can be sufficiently pruned in order to accommodate the monopine structure and installation. Another point to consider is that this species is susceptible to the invasive pest, Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Although EAB has not yet been detected in Fort Collins, the threat is imminent and all Fraxinus species will quickly die if left untreated. Has the property owner expressed interest in treating these trees for EAB (which would be every 2-3 years for the life of the tree)? - If the arborist is confident that pruning can be achieved while protecting the health of the trees and if the property owner plans to treat these trees for Emerald Ash Borer, then City Forestry will support these recommendations. Please provide a written evaluation from the arborist to the Project Planner, Kai 6 Kleer, and City Forestry Specialist, Molly Roche for review. - If the arborist does not recommend pruning and EAB treatment on these trees, please provide a written evaluation from the arborist to the Project Planner, Kai Kleer, and City Forestry Specialist, Molly Roche for review. Removal of these two trees qualifies for a total of 3 mitigation trees to be planted back on-site and in the same location to provide screening around the monopine. The mitigation trees shall be evergreen trees upsized to 8 ft height. The following species are acceptable: Southwestern White Pine, White Spruce/Black Hills Spruce, or Ponderosa Pine. Response: Please see the attached from the Arborist with suggestions on options. Further direction from City staff will be pending. 01/08/2019: BEFORE HEARING: An on-site meeting occurred on 10/26/2017 with project planner Kai Kleer. At this time, the location of the wireless device was in a different location. On this proposal, the wireless device is proposed between two existing trees. Please schedule an on-site visit with City Forestry to obtain existing tree inventory and mitigation information for the trees in close proximity to the wireless device. This meeting should occur prior to next submittal. Tree inventory and mitigation information should be displayed in a table on the landscape plan. All existing trees should be labeled as “EXISTING TREE TO REMAIN AND BE PROTECTED”. In addition, please include the City of Fort Collins Tree Protection Notes to the landscape plan, which are available from City Forestry (Molly Roche, 30TUmroche@fcgov.comU30T). Comment Number: 2 01/08/2019: BEFORE HEARING: There are two existing landscape islands that used to be landscaped but no longer have trees. As a part of this submittal, these landscape island will need to be re-landscaped with canopy shade trees. Currently, Lindens are shown in most of the parking lot islands, but this species does not typically survive or thrive well in this type of environment. Please show a total of (4) Kentucky Coffeetrees 'Espresso' in the 2 islands identified on the redlines (east portion of the site). Please verify that these trees will receive irrigation. Provide a plant list on the landscape plans that details species, quantity, caliper size (2 inch balled and burlapped). Response: These trees have been added to the plans ZD-1.2 Department: Technical Services Contact: Jeff County, 970-221-6588, jcounty@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/07/2019: FOR FINAL: All plan sheets must be 24"x36". Comment Number: 2 01/07/2019: FOR FINAL: 7 Please revise the legal description as marked. See redlines. Comment Number: 3 01/07/2019: FOR FINAL: There are line over text issues. See redlines. Response: These have been adjusted.
