Department: Environmental Services Contact: Jonathon Nagel, 970-416-2701, jnagel@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 4 02/22/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: The Community Recycling Ordinance (No. 109 2016) requires that all new business and multifamily complexes subscribe to recycling service that is at minimum 1/3 of their overall service capacity (total bin capacity x number of weekly pickups, include both trash and recycling when calculating overall service capacity). In general recycling containers must be at least 50% the size of proposed trash containers to meet this requirement. Please make sure proposed containers meet this requirement and that adequate space is provided in all enclosures. Comment Number: 12 05/28/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: In the "triple" trash and recycling enclosure it is recommended to place the recycling on one end or the other to avoid confusion for future residents. For ease of hauling it may make sense to place it behind the single gate. RESPONSE: The recycling bin is in the middle, directly across from the pedestrian entrance. Comment Number: 13 05/28/2019: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please make sure the site plan depiction of the trash and recycling enclosures match the separate plan enlargement provided. REPONSE: The site plan matches the architectural plans. Comment Number: 14 05/28/2019: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please make sure a 32" pathway is provided to the triple enclosure that does not require stepping into the adjacent parking space. RESPONSE: As discussed, we have shifted the bins to the north and got rid of the pedestrian entrance that was located on the side. There is now a pedestrian entrance gate on the front of the enclosure, between 4 the two larger gates. In addition, we also removed the wheel stops and added curbing inside the enclosure.
