Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project. If you have questions about any comments, please direct your questions through the Development Review Coordinator, Tenae Beane, at 970-224-6119 or tbeane@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Jason Holland, 970-224-6126, jholland@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: LUC 3.2.2(D)(3)(c) Pavement. All open off-street parking and vehicular use areas shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete or other material in conformance with city specifications. Staff will support a modification request to allow the employee parking area to be gravel, however the main parking lot to the west is a concern. Hard surface paving or a permeable paver system is recommended in this area. We are proposing TrueGRID Permeable Paver. They have a 40% imperviousness the same as a gravel lot. The TrueGRID is more sturdy than gravel and a maintenance program will be implemented. Please also look at the driveway approach transition at the east parking lot and make sure that gravel will not spill onto the concrete drive approach at Laporte Avenue. Please label this area as employee only parking on the site plan. OK Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: 3.2.2(K)(5)(d) Each parking lot shall contain at least the minimum specified number of handicap spaces as provided in the table below. Regardless of the number of handicap spaces required, at least one (1) such space shall be designated as a van-accessible space, and must be a minimum of eight (8) feet wide and adjoin a minimum eight-foot-wide access aisle. 2 2 Please extend the paving for the van accessible parking space to include the 8 foot wide access aisle. OK Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: LUC 3.2.2(E)(4) Parking Lot Layout -- Landscaped Islands. To the maximum extent feasible, landscaped islands with raised curbs shall be used to define parking lot entrances, the ends of all parking aisles and the location and pattern of primary internal access drives, and to provide pedestrian refuge areas and walkways. Staff recommends that the parking lot islands and the south side of the parking exit be defined with concrete curbing. A modification to this code section could be supported by defining these areas with a handful of large sandstone boulders. We have decided to do raised curbs on the islands as well as the south side of the parking area. All other areas we will use rock to define the edges. Edging details for the TrueGRID pavers are in the Grading details. See picture 2 below for example. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: 3.2.2(J) Setbacks. Any vehicular use area containing six (6) or more parking spaces or one thousand eight hundred (1,800) or more square feet shall be set back from the street right-of-way and the side and rear yard lot line (except a lot line between buildings or uses with collective parking) consistent with the provisions of this Section, according to the following table: Along an arterial street: Minimum Average of Entire Landscaped Setback Area (feet) 15’ Minimum Width of Setback at Any Point (feet) 5’ Along a lot line: Average: 5’ Minimum: 5’ Staff is supportive of the reduced setback along Laporte. A modification request is needed using one or more of the criteria in Division 2.8 of the code. OK Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: 3.2.2(L) Parking Stall Dimensions (and drive aisle dimensions). Off-street parking areas for automobiles shall meet the following minimum standards for long- and short-term parking of standard and compact vehicles: Two Modifications to the code are needed: 1) Reducing the short-term (commercial) parking spaces to 15 feet x 8 feet. 2) Reducing the drive aisle width from 24 feet to 22 feet and 20 feet. OK Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: INFORMATION: Parking lot interior landscaping:3.2.2(M) Landscaping. The following minimum standards shall apply to all parking lot landscaping plans: (1) Landscaping Coverage. At least six (6) percent of the interior space of any parking lot containing at least one thousand eight hundred (1800) square feet and containing not less than six (6) or more than one hundred (100) spaces… 3.2.1(E)(5) Interior parking lot landscaping requirements are met: Parking lot interior areas provided: 290 + 170+170+133 = 763 sf. provided Min. required: 6,557 * 6% = 394 sf. required 1 tree per 150 sf required. = 2.6, round up to 3; 3 are provided. Great Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING / FOR FINAL: 3.2.1(E)(4) Perimeter parking lot landscaping provided is supportable. At final please provide details showing the design and construction of the low screen wall or 3 3 screen fence. For hearing, provide general design information on the plan – height, material. A design elevation would also be helpful. Location: along the west side, recommend location the wall as close to the west property line as possible. Parking lot perimeter requirements (underlined for emphasis):(a) Trees shall be provided at a ratio of one (1) tree per twenty-five (25) lineal feet along a public street and one (1) tree per forty (40) lineal feet along a side lot line parking setback area. Trees may be spaced irregularly in informal groupings or be uniformly spaced, as consistent with larger overall planting patterns and organization. Perimeter landscaping along a street may be located in and should be integrated with the streetscape in the street right-of-way. (b) Screening. Parking lots with six (6) or more spaces shall be screened from abutting uses and from the street. Screening from residential uses shall consist of a fence or wall six (6) feet in height in combination with plant material and of sufficient opacity to block at least seventy-five (75) percent of light from vehicle headlights. Screening from the street and all nonresidential uses shall consist of a wall, fence, planter, earthen berm, plant material or a combination of such elements, each of which shall have a minimum height of thirty (30) inches. Such screening shall extend a minimum of seventy (70) percent of the length of the street frontage of the parking lot and also seventy (70) percent of the length of any boundary of the parking lot that abuts any nonresidential use. Openings in the required screening shall be permitted for such features as access ways or drainage ways. Where screening from the street is required, plans submitted for review shall include a graphic depiction of the parking lot screening as seen from the street. Plant material used for the required screening shall achieve required opacity in its winter seasonal condition within three (3) years of construction of the vehicular use area to be screened. We will install a split rail fence and shrubs, see picture 3 and 4. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: 3.2.1(5)(c): (c) Landscaped Islands. In addition to any pedestrian refuge areas, each landscaped island shall include one (1) or more canopy shade trees, be of length greater than eight (8) feet in its smallest dimension, include at least eighty (80) square feet of ground area per tree to allow for root aeration, and have raised concrete curbs. This standard is met through Alternative Compliance for the reduced parking island width. Please note on the plan the alternative compliance request. Provide a callout on the site/landscape plan for the island, in lieu of a formal request letter. See LUC 3.2.1(N) for Alternative Compliance section. Alternative compliance comment has been added on the notes section of the site plan. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING / Final: Bike parking- please provide more information for structure proposed. There may be issues with locating this in the utility easement? See picture 5 and site plan LUC 3.2.2(C)(4): Required Types of Bicycle Parking. To meet the minimum bicycle parking requirements, the development must provide required bicycleparking for both Enclosed Bicycle Parking (covered)/ Fixed Bicycle Racks (not covered). Bars, Taverns and Nightclubs 1/500 sq. ft., minimum of 4 0%/100% General Office 1/4,000 sq. ft., minimum of 4 20%/80% All covered bike parking is OK. Technically, for the office use, one bike space needs to be enclosed (covered). This could just be a space accommodated inside the building. OK, This has been added to the landuse table on the site plan cover sheet. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 4 4 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: Modification request summary: 1) Reducing the short-term (commercial) parking spaces to 15 feet x 8 feet. 2) Reducing the drive aisle width from 24 feet to 22 feet and 20 feet. 3) Gravel parking surface for the east employee parking area. 4) Reducing the front parking ROW setback from 15 feet average/5 feet minimum at any point to a lesser average (TBD). Please provide a modification request for these three items. OK. Modification request summary will be sent prior to hearing. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: If it can be accomodated, staff recommends that the walkway to the building be 6 feet in width. Does not need to include the ramp unless this is also feasible. Technically, a walkway less than 6 feet is a modication to the code. OK, this has been modified on site plan LUC3.3.3(C) (5) Walkways. (a) Directness and Continuity. Walkways within the site shall be located and aligned to directly and continuously connect areas or points of pedestrian origin and destination, and shall not be located and aligned solely based on the outline of a parking lot configuration that does not provide such direct pedestrian access. Walkways shall be unobstructed by vertical curbs, stairs, raised landscape islands, utility appurtenances or other elements that restrict access and shall link street sidewalks with building entries through parking lots. Such walkways shall be raised or enhanced with a paved surface not less than six (6) feet in width. Drive aisles leading to main entrances shall have walkways on both sides of the drive aisle. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING, Plan suggestions: Is fencing required for the turf area? We want to include ornamental fencing but haven’t decided on what style yet. Hoping to come up with something that also mitigates sounds from Laporte ave traffic as well. Reduce length of parking islands to increase maneuverability? OK. Wheel stops if no perimeter curb is provided. Will do, see picture 2, we want to use concrete versions. Concrete curbing at islands and south exit (or sandstone boulders if allowed). Does something like picture 2 count? Line up perimeter parking trees with parking stripes. OK Heavy duty metal posts and metal panels for the trash enclosure; or split faced masonry. OK More organic shape for bike parking area? What is the bike parking surface? Mulch under trees, some bike parking will be next to building on concrete/asphalt, some will be on existing pavers near deck. We are showing a zone for bike parking on the plans but in reality it will be a much more organic shape. Department: Environmental Services Contact: Jonathon Nagel, 970-416-2701, jnagel@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: 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. Our recycling container will be the same size as the trash. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 5 5 09/10/2019: BY HEARING: Please show all proposed trash and recycling containers on the plan enlargement for the trash and recycling enclosure. Please label the capacity and usage of each container, i.e. "4 cubic yard recycle" or "3 cubic yard trash" See picture 6. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Per standard 3.2.5 of the City's Land Use Code trash and recycling enclosures are required to be constructed of masonry, metal or other durable material. Wood fencing is not considered to be a durable material in this application. Wood can be used to finish the exterior of the enclosure to compliment the development to which it is associated, but the structure needs to be made of more durable materials. We will have a steel frame with wood siding (to match the building), see plans. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: BY HEARING: The main service gates for trash and recycling enclosures are required to provide a 10' opening and be constructed of metal or other durable material. Please label the materials/opening widths on the plan enlargement or elevations for the trash and recycling enclosure. Ok, see plans. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Depending on the container sizes used for trash and recycling bollards may not be the most appropriate method to protect the interior walls. For large containers that are serviced directly by the truck 6 cubic yard or larger bollards are a great choice. For smaller, wheeled containers angle iron secured to the pad or curbing that stops the wheels before the container hits the walls on both sides is a more effective method. OK, our engineers have designed and included these details in the plans. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: the concrete service pad for the trash and recycling enclosure is required to extend beyond the front of the enclosure the width of the service gates, plus the width of the widest dumpster and an additional 2' OK, this has been updated. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/11/2019 09/11/2019: FOR HEARING: The tree located adjacent next to the trash and recycling enclosure should be relocated. Service vehicles require 20-25' of overhead clearance when servicing the container (exact clearance needed depends on container size). Gallegos does not need that clearance for our 3 cu yd dumpsters, however, if they need clearance in the future this tree is very tall and will be easily trimmed to provide this clearance. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Katie Andrews, 970-221-6501, kandrews@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: Thank you for the work that you put into the Laporte Ave. frontage improvement design and for coordinating with staff on the design – the currently proposed design is what we are looking for at PDP. At the time of final plan, and upon further completion of the Laporte capital project design, some alterations may be requested. We will continue to be in contact with you all as the projects move forward. Ok. Thanks. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Please clarify on the landscape plan which trees/shrubs are existing and which are proposed. City Engineering is OK with shrubs in the parkway, but we want to ensure that there’s enough visibility for pedestrians. Please also note that it is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the landscaping 6 6 adjacent to the public walk so that it does not interfere with the public’s use of the walk. OK, please see updated tree inventory table and updated landscape plan. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING/INFO ONLY: It appears that the sidewalk is being routed around existing trees in order to preserve them. If Forestry's comments cause a change to which trees remain in these areas, the back of walk should be aligned with the ROW as possible. Ideally, the back of walk would align with the ROW for the entire frontage, but Engineering understands the importance of keeping certain trees, so we can be flexible on this requirement. OK, none of the trees that are changing the sidewalk path are being removed, but we will update this is forestry changes anything. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Thank you for calling out the modified ped ramp at the driveway – is this configuration necessary due to existing trees or utilities? ADA compliance will be evaluated at FDP. OK, this has been updated as our walk to the front entrance is widened per Jason’s comment 14 Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: The eastern driveway was approved for low volume use – this drive approach should be constructed as a low volume driveway with rollover curb rather than the curb radius design. Please see LCUASS detail 706.1-706.2. OK, this has been redesigned. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: It appears that the parking lots are surface draining to the roadway. If this configuration remains, please note that no more than ~750 sq ft of surface drainage is allowable through the driveway. A chase drain could be used to prevent too much water from flowing across the driveway. Updated, see drainage report. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Please note that your LID system can't be in the 15 foot utility easement. OK. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Plat: the plat should dedicate the additional 12 feet of right of way as well as the 15-foot utility easement, emergency access, drainage, and any other necessary easements. OK. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Plat: Frey Avenue, although physically signed as Avenue, should be Frey Street. Noted, let’s get that street sign fixed! Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Plat: sight distance note is included on the cover, but there are no sight distance easements shown on the plat – are sight distance easements being proposed? This has been removed from the Sub. Plat. Sorry for the confusion. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Please add the following note to any plan sheets which show the limits of street cut: “Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City of Fort Collins Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards.” OK 7 7 Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING:What is the sign that appears to be in the middle of the parkway almost directly between the two drive approaches? An old existing sign, it will be removed. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Format: Thank you for adding construction notes to the plans, please add LCUASS Appendix E General Notes to the utility plans. Please add a date (month, year) under the legal description on the cover sheet. Please include the typical Laporte Avenue cross section on the cover sheet. Please reference the drainage report in General Note 19 and Construction Note D2. OK Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: BY HEARING: Format: Please add City of Fort Collins Utility Plan Approval block to the lower right-hand corner of each plan sheet in the utility plan set. Let me know if you need this sent to you. OK Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/09/2019: FOR FINAL:At final, please include spot elevations which show that the public walk and ramps meet ADA criteria. This will be addressed in our grading plan at final. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/09/2019: FOR FINAL: Thank you for including LCUASS construction details with the PDP submittal. At final we will check that the correct and most recent LCUASS construction details are included. OK Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Martina Wilkinson, 970-221-6887, mwilkinson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR INFORMATION As noted in a previous submittal, given the transportation narrative provided when the previous approved use is compared to the new use, the additional traffic does not meet the threshold of requiring a traffic impact study (TIS). The need for a TIS is waived. Great, thanks Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR INFORMATION Note that the access locations to this private property are not guaranteed to remain full movement in the future (i.e. allowing left turns). If / when roadway improvements are made, it is possible that a future median will restrict access to a right-in, right-out function. Noted Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING Please make the eastern driveway smaller to reflect that it is not a 'regular' or 'major' access. It must look and feel like a back access that is for delivery and staff only. Done, see site plans. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING Please make sure that the curb line along LaPorte is in a location that is ok with the Engineering Department and will support a center turn lane and bike lane. AgPro is confirming with Dan Woodward in the engineering department at the city and this may not be fully addressed until FDP when Dan’s Laporte Plans are more solidified.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/04/2019 09/04/2019: PRIOR TO HEARING. In the past there has been an existing and actively-used red-tailed hawk nest within 500ft of this site. A temporary 450ft buffer into this proposed project area might apply and should be shown on site plans with the note: 450' temporary limit of development for active red-tailed hawk 9 9 nest during nesting season FEB 15 - JUL 15. Essentially that no construction work to be completed within the 450ft buffer during active nesting season and if the nest is actively used by a red-tailed hawk. The identified nest is farther than 450ft away from our property line. See picture 7. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/04/2019 09/04/2019: PRIOR TO HEARING.

Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/11/2019 09/11/2019: PRIOR TO FINAL PLAN APPROVAL. Luminaire schedule appears to show LED lights with 4000K CCT. The maximum allowed is 3000K and please adjust accordingly in next submittal. All lighting shall have a nominal correlated color temperature (CCT) of no greater than three thousand (3,000) degrees Kelvin [see LUC 3.2.4(D)(11)]. Please also consider fixtures with motion-sensing or dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Regarding outdoor lighting, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to biological rhythms for humans and wildlife. The American Medical Association (AMA) and International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) both recommend using lighting that has a CCT of no more than 3000K to limit the amount of blue light in the night environment. Thank you in advance for supporting City of Fort Collins Night Sky Objectives. For further information regarding health effects please see: http://darksky.org/ama-report-affirms-human-health-impacts-from-leds/ This has been changed to 3000K. Thank you. 10 10 Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/11/2019 09/11/2019: PRIOR TO FINAL PLAN APPROVAL. Per discussion in August 2019 with applicant - a bat roost was uncovered inside existing buildings and City staff directed applicant to reach out to Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff. What was the response from CPW and recommended next steps? CPW is helping us encourage the bats to leave and locate spots for bat hotels. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 09/11/2019 09/11/2019: PRIOR TO DCP. Invasive species removal needed within natural habitat buffer zone proposed area including noxious weeds. This should be included in NHBZ installation, weed management and monitoring plan submitted and with securities prior to issuance of Development Construction Permit (DCP). OK Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha, nsaha@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: FOR HEARING Thank you for including the tree inventory and mitigation information. On page 2 of the Tree Inventory and Mitigation plan, please update the table to clearly indicate whether each tree listed is to be retained, removed or transplanted. This should be reflected in the status column. Done, these are updated and the tree plan has been modified to be more comprehensive Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: FOR HEARING As a follow up to comment #1, on page E-1, please label trees that are designated for removal with the corresponding ID numbers from the table. Done Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 9/9/2019: FOR HEARING The plant list on page 3 of the Tree Inventory and Mitigation Plan shows: a) additional existing trees beyond those inventoried b) Shows three trees to be mitigated. Please combine information about existing trees in one table and clarify which trees are to be removed, retained or transplanted, as requested in comment #1. It appears that there are additional trees that need to be inventoried due to potential impact (including for diameter, condition and mitigation). Please contact Nils Saha (nsaha@fcgov.com). This table should be separate from any proposed plantings on site. All tree have been inventoried by Nils and now existing trees are all in the tree mitigation table, the plant list on the landscape plan only has NEW trees and plants to be planted. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: FOR HEARING The Tree Protection Notes on G-2 and LS-1 are missing the diameter chart (#8). Please include. Contact Nils Saha (nsaha@fcgov.com), if needed. This has been added on the landscape plan. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: FOR HEARING The locations of the existing and proposed utilities should be shown and labeled on the landscape plan.- We had existing utilities located and we have added existing water, proposed sewer (there is currently no sewer line) and proposed electrical 3-phase power. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: For new tree plantings, the required sizes and method of transplant are below, per LUC 3.2.1: Required tree sizes and method of transplant: 11 11 Canopy Shade Tree: 2.0” caliper balled and burlapped Evergreen tree: 6.0’ height balled and burlapped Ornamental tree: 1.5” caliper balled and burlapped If any mitigation is required, trees must be upsized to the following dimensions: Canopy Shade Trees: 2.0" caliper balled and burlap or equivalent. Evergreen Trees: 8' height balled and burlap or equivalent. Ornamental Trees: 2.0" caliper balled and burlap or equivalent. The eastern redbud and bigtooth maples do not meet minimum size requirements as mitigation trees. Additionally, per LUC requirements, proposed trees must be balled and burlapped. Due to our dry climate, bare root trees have a lower survival rate. Please ensure all proposed trees are balled and burlapped. We have applied for alternative compliance for tree planting size. Please add a column to the plant list that indicates method of transplant. We are no longer proposing any transplanting of trees. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 09/09/2019: FOR HEARING Please provide an “Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter” for City Forestry staff to review. Proposals to remove significant existing trees must provide a justification letter detailing the reason for tree removal. This is required for all development projects proposing significant tree removal regardless of the scale of the project. The purpose of this letter is to provide a document of record with the project’s approval and for the City to maintain a record of all proposed significant tree removals and justifications. Existing significant trees within the project’s Limits of Disturbance (LOD) and within natural area buffer zones shall be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible. Streets, buildings and lot layouts shall be designed to minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees. (Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances, reasonable efforts have been undertaken to comply with the regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the public or would unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have been undertaken to minimize any potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from noncompliance with the regulation.) Where it is not feasible to protect and retain significant existing tree(s) or to transplant them to another on-site location, the applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to City mitigation requirements. – Attached to application. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/09/2019 9/9/2019: INFORMATION ONLY Please note that for a two-lane arterial, the minimum parkway width should be 10 feet.- We are modifying to keep existing trees and minimize tree removal on site. Engineering is ok with this, let me know if you need additional information. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 9/9/2019: INFORMATION ONLY Please note the following minimum/maximum spacing for street trees: Canopy shade trees: 30-40 feet Ornamental trees (only permitted when space is limited): 20-30 Ok.

It will, we need 3 phase power please. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: INFORMATION: Any relocation or modification to existing electric facilities needed for this project will be at the expense of the owner/developer. Understood. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: INFORMATION: Any existing and/or proposed Light & Power electric facilities that will remain within the limits of the project must be located within a utility easement. OK. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: FOR HEARING: Light and Power would like to see the proposed transformer location moved to the north end of the eastern parking lot. The route to this transformer from the public right-of-way will need to be within a utility easement.- As per the discussion in person we chose a better location together (see utility plan). The issue is tree roots since the property is heavily forested. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: INFORMATION: If a 3phase service is needed for this project then modification fees will apply to extend 3phase power to the site. Light and Power will have to intercept existing 3phase facilities along the south edge of Laporte Ave, set a new 3phase vault and trench/bore from the south side of Laporte Ave to the transformer location on the site. Please contact me for an estimate of modification fees to provide 3phase service to the site. OK. We do indeed need 3phase. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/10/2019 09/10/2019: INFORMATION:Please send power requirements to Light and Power Engineering for review once known.
