If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through your Development Review Coordinator, Brandy Bethurem Harras, at 970.416.2744 or bbethuremharras@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970-221-6603, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 11/26/2018: INFORMATION ONLY: There are no Engineering comments on the proposed replat at this time, however the applicant should keep in mind that approval of any redevelopment of the newly formed lot(s) will likely require utility plans, traffic study updates, etc. for approval. At that time, there may be requirements for infrastructure improvements to sidewalk, pedestrian ramps, drive cuts/accesses, easements, etc. The extent of possible improvements would be determined during approval of any redevelopment. Response: All comments will be addressed with a subsequent PDP submittal. Comment Number: 2 11/26/2018: FOR APPROVAL: This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary or required by the City for this project. As discussed in the conceptual comments review meeting on 8/23/18, there may be a need to dedicate Emergency Access Easement(s) per Poudre Fire Authority. I was not able to find any record of any existing Emergency Access Easements on site, 2 so it appears that this will be a requirement for the Minor Subdivision. 3 Additionally, if the owner chooses to extend electrical infrastructure to the new lot, there would be a need for a Utility Easement(s) to be dedicated as well. Any easements proposed as part of the Minor Subdivision would be dedicated on the Minor Subdivision document. Easements dedicated in the future, without a replat process, would need to be dedicated by separate instrument. Information on the dedication process can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php Response: An emergency access easement has been provided on the plat with this submittal. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 11/26/2018: INFORMATION ONLY: It is understood that this BDR/MA submittal is mainly to subdivide the property for future development and that there will be no demolition or improvements to the property at this time. Please note that stormwater and water/wastewater will have requirements with the eventual development/redevelopment of this property. Comments provided by the Utility department for the Conceptual Review on 8-24-18 will also apply. Response: All comments will be addressed with a subsequent PDP submittal. Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 11/26/2018: FOR APPROVAL: The plat shows an existing 30’ utility easement, Book 217 Page 37, along the southerly side of Lots 1 and 2. The linework appears to be shown south of Lot 1, but disappears south of Lot 2. Please fix. Response: the linework has been corrected with this submittal.

Comment Number: 2 11/27/2018: FOR APPROVAL: It appears there may be impact to an existing tree? On L3.1 where the new trash enclosure would go. Is this correct?
