1 Comment Originated: 10/06/202010/06/2020: FOR HEARING:After discussion internally and some more research through older approved documents, it has been determined that the
"Public Access Right of Way" shown on the plat is indeed a public rightofway and not a private access easement. With this information, additional rightofway needs to be dedicated to
meet the classification of this roadway. The southern roadway would be classified as an industrial local street section, and has a minimum rightofway width of 66 feet. For this property
to meet its local half street obligation, this project needs to dedicate an additional 18 feet to get to a half rightofway width of 33 feet. The industrial local crosssection is LCUASS
figure 77F found at this link: https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/fig_701_713_fc_2016.pdfZP Response: As discussed, Phasing this additional 18’ of ROW dedication will be addressed
in the Development Agreement to be phased and dedicated when the road improvements to the 66’ Industrial Local Street are required in the future. Until then, the South fence will be
located 6’ off the current PL and then moved the addition 18’ in the future.Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/06/202010/06/2020: FOR HEARING:Ultimate frontage improvements
for the I25 frontage road, and the roadway to the south, are not being asked for at this time, and will need to be deferred in a Development Agreement.ZP Response: Understand there
are no I-25 Frontage Rd. ROW improvements being requested.Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/06/202010/06/2020: FOR HEARING:The parking and fencing along the southern
property line encroach into the public rightofway currently, and will further encroach with the additional rightofway dedication. These should be moved back into the property and out
of the rightofway. The parking may be allowed to stay if a major encroachment permit is obtained for it if ultimate frontage improvements along the southern road are not constructed.ZP
Response: A Major Encroachment permit will be processed to allow the existing Parking and Fence to be located with respect to the existing PL and moved in the future if road improvements
move forward on the South RoadComment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/06/202010/06/2020: FOR HEARING:Please see my redlines for additional comments.ZP Response: Redline
comments have been addressed.Addition of a Concrete Curb at the south Drive.Title Change to Utility Plans and Signature Blocks added.Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/06/202010/06/2020:
Development Agreement:A Development Agreement will be needed for this project. We will start the draft after this project is approved at hearing and all contributing departments have
had their comments resolved and send me the applicable language. Please fill out the information sheet and send it back to me.ZP Response: It is understood a Development Agreement will

10/01/202010/01/2020: CDOT, Tim Bilobran, timothy.bilobran@state.co.us I don't have any large-scale concerns and we will issue a new access permit. Keep in mind though that this site
probably needs to stay in its current use. If it ever redevelops substantially, CDOT is going to take the position of "The accesses are too close together and fail spacing on a 45-mph
section. Only 1 of the 2 access points should be utilized".ZP Response: ZP has discussed Submittal 1 CDOT comments with Tim B. and there are no specific issues requiring modifications
if the exist ROW ditch and discharge are not modified.Department: Planning ServicesContact: Kai Kleer, 9704164284, kkleer@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 Comment
Originated: 09/28/202009/28/2020 FOR HEARING:A significant concern of the overall site plan is the quantity and interrelationship of landscaping to the detention area along the frontage
road. This area is not only highly visible but has several overlapping requirements to provide an offset arrangement of trees and shrubs (not grasses which are proposed), varied side
slopes, and undulating bottom. Further, the idea of the landscape buffer standard emphasizes the offset arrangement of landscaping to encompass the entire buffer area and not condensed
toward the front of the site. Please work with stormwater and planning staff to further refine the detention and landscaping concept.Pages 912 of the City of Fort Collins Stormwater
Standards and Guidelines (https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/pdf/stormwater_standards_and_guidelines.pdf) contains a list of recommended trees and shrubs that can be located within
this area.ZP Response: The ZP Team has worked hard back and forth with Stormwater to come up with the best compromise solution for this difficult site. Meeting the discharge elevation,
pond volumes and area required for the detention pond cannot be fully met. As a result, the proposed pond size has limited variables. Meeting typical landscape standards like undulating
pond perimeter, plantings throughoutthe 80’ I-25 Landscape Buffer Zone that includes the pond are difficult to fully achieve.The proposed design meets the planting quantities and varied
plant types in a natural undulating design, highlighting the I-25 and new building frontage, while incorporating the limits of landscaping within a detention basin. Comment Number:
2 Comment Originated: 09/28/202009/28/2020 FOR HEARING:Fencing remains a significant concern of the proposed expansion. Staff does not support a wholesale modification of standard
to allow for a chainlink fence, however, there could be an approach where the posts of the existing chainlink fence are retained, stringers added, columns inserted at minimum intervals
of 40 feet, and a corrugated steel fence panel applied. It is required that the fence be as high as the material it hides. In some cases, staff has seen shingles stacked 89 feet high.
I’ve added a few redlines of improvements that could save several hundred feet of material cost for the proposal.The southern portion of existing fence is actually located within the
30’ public access rightofway and is not within the boundary of the site. This fence will need to be removed and relocated so that it is located out of the Rightofway. Further, fence
must be setback 6 feet (see 3.9.8(B)Location) from the right of way/property line.ZP Response: The fence line has been adjusted to meet the submittal comments and the detail has been
changed to an opaquecorrugated metal panel fence with CMU masonry columns at 40’ oc to meet the Outdoor Storage fence requirements. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/28/202009/28/2020
FOR HEARING: After speaking to East Larimer County Water District, it was determined that the building located on the southeast corner of the site is in violation of the easement and
determined by our building department to be an illegal structure (no building permit was pulled on it). The site plan will need to demonstrate the relocation of this building elsewhere
on the site. Please note that a 5foot minimum setback is required from the rear yard.ZP Response: The existing shed will be removed and not require a permit.Comment Number: 4
Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020 FOR HEARING: Regarding the barb wire, at time of building permit, it is likely that the project will be required to request a revocable use
permit that must be renewed every three (3) years for the barbed wire strands. The barbed wire also needs to be (10) feet above the adjoining ground level outside the fence. See 3.8.11(B)(2)
for a more detailed description of this standard.Please add a note on the plan stating that calls out the standard and areas where barb wire is expected to remain.ZP Response: Barbwire
will not be part of the new fence design.Department: Stormwater EngineeringContact: Dan Mogen, 9703055989, dmogen@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 2 Comment Originated:
10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL:It is unclear if the proposed CDOT roadside ditch/culvert is an appropriate outfall for the detention pond. Please contact CDOT to determine the
extents of this drainage system and its outfall as well as to get the acceptance of developed runoff into the system. If used, please show the ultimate outfall in the drainage report.ZP
Response: The drainage concept has been reviewed with Tim Bilobran/CDOT. There are not changes proposed to the existing ROW ditch and outfall.As a result, CDOT has no concerns.Comment
Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL:It is important to document the site changes in impervious area to determine Stormwater requirements and show
they are met. Please provide exhibits showing the changes in impervious area as well as how these areas are treated for Water Quality (WQ) and Low Impact Development (LID). Please
note that all newly paved areas are included in the WQ/LID requirements.Detention must be provided for the increased impervious area and runoff to adjacent properties/ROW cannot be increased.
The proposed release rate needs to account both releases from the detention pond and any other undetained releases from the site. Please document existing site conditions and runoff
including a basin analysis in the hydrology to determine the appropriate pond/site release rate.ZP Response: Understood. Submitted revised design is as discussed in the interim reviews.Comment
Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL:Please provide drainage easement for the proposed rain garden, detention pond, and associated outfalls.ZP

limiting the amount of information on each sheet. Please review and show information where it is most appropriate rather than showing most information on most sheets. Please provide
an existing conditions/demo plan to clarify the site today and how it will be changing.ZP Response: The Utility Plan has been simplified to limit information to existing and proposed
Site Utilities.Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL:There is an existing utility easement thru the area of the proposed rain garden.
Please clarify any existing utilities in this easement and how they will or will not conflict with the proposed rain garden. Similarly, there is an existing underground electric line
shown running thru the proposed rain garden. How does this line interact with the rain garden cross section? Please confirm the utility owner accepts alignment thru this stormwater
facility or realign to remove the conflict.ZP Response: The interior lot easements will be vacated with the Plat. The rain garden shape has been adjusted to miss the existing underground
electrical.Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL:Please clarify the proposed landscaping in the rain garden.ZP Response: The rain garden

FOR APPROVAL:The Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) plan is hard to decipher due to multiple layers being turned on, please consider turning off the ones that are not needed for this
plan in order to reduce the clutter.The per acre cost of seeding in your reseeding escrow calculation is too high, a more realistic cost for this area would be around $3,000 per acre,
that would reduce the amount if escrow needed.Please include a legend for the ESC measures that are shown on the ESC plan on the plan itself not just on the cover for the plan set.Please
include all the standard City of Fort Collins notes in the utility plan set, to include the City of Fort Collins standard erosion and sediment control notes. These can be found on our
website at:https://www.fcgov.com/utilities/img/site_specific/uploads/fcscmappendixf.pdf?1549566342ZP Response: The Erosion Control Plan has been simplified graphically. The Re-Seeding
Cost has been revised.ESC Legend has been added.Standard ESC Notes have been added.Please add a note to the ESC plan stating that all permanent stormwater control measures including
the bioretention basin will be built at the end of the construction sequence in order to minimize the potential of the sediment loading of these measures due to site construction activities.Please
add a note to the ESC plan stating that all permanent stabilization will be done in accordance with the landscape plan associated with this site development.Please provide a construction
detail for all construction control measures that are to be used on this site.Please provide sediment control measures for the work proposed in the frontage road drainage ditch.How will
construction traffic from this site be separated from the existing parking lot and roads to prevent construction traffic from causing mud and debris track out? Please use construction
fencing to separate the existing developed site form the construction site where appropriate.ZP Response: The following notes have been added to the ESC Plan and Reportper comments:ESC
Note: to phase permanent stormwater control structures to be completed at the end of the project.ESC Note: Permanent Stabilization will be done per Landscape Plan.Construction Control

Scott Benton, , sbenton@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL: A Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) is not
required along the entire length of the lateral ditch on the eastern side of the property due to its limited length. However, a full 50foot NHBZ, measured from the outer edge of the
canopy/dripline as per the Buffer Zone Table found other significant shrub patches. An additional site visit might be required by City Environmental Planning and/or the ecological consultant.
The dripline for the shrub patches deemed significant will require the dripline to be portrayed on all applicable plan sets.There is precedent for altering buffer zone width, but the
altered buffer zone must still meet the Buffer Zone Performance Standards outlined in 3.4.1(E)(1). Typically, this comes in the form of altering the shape of the buffer to maintain
the appropriate the square footage and improving the quantity and quality of native plantings in the buffer. There are numerous native shrub options available for plantings in the buffer
that can be viewed at https://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf?1362179305.ZP Response: The 50’ Natural Habitat Buffer Zone has been shown at the Wild Plum shrub only
and set back to a standard fence 6’ SB north of this grove as discussed. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL: Thank you for depicting
the NHBZ on all the plan sets. Please add an Environmental Planner signature to all plans that show the buffer zone. ZP Response: The Standard Signature block with Environmental Plannerhas
been added to the plans.Also, please add the following note on all sheets of the plans that show the NHBZ: "The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone is intended to be maintained in a native landscape.
Please see Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone." This will help preserve the intention behind the buffer zones and the natural
features into the future.ZP Response: The NHBZ note has been added to all the sheets showing the Buffer Zone.Please add a table to the site plan that includes the following:amount of
buffer area that would be required by a 50' buffer from the ditchamount of buffer area provided on these plansminimum buffer distancemaximum buffer distanceaverage buffer distanceZP
Response: A table has been added to the Site Plan identifying the above area and distances.Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/05/202010/05/2020: FOR APPROVAL: Language
regarding the protection and enhancement of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone will be included in the Development Agreement for this project. A security will need to be provided prior
to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit that accounts for the installation and establishment of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. Prior to the recording of the Development
Agreement, please provide an estimate of the landscaping costs for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, including materials, labor, monitoring, weed mitigation, and irrigation. We will then
use the approved estimate to collect a security (bond or escrow) at 125% of the total amount prior to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit. A spreadsheet entitled 'Consolidated
Escrow Calculator' has been provided to the DRC to assist with estimating the security amount.ZP Response: A Cost Estimate to maintain the Natural Habitathas been discussed and not required

RESOLVED21220: INFORMATION ONLY FOR PDPIf applicable, 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

FOR FINAL APPROVALThere is substantial spacing between the trees planned for the perimeter along NE Frontage rd. as well as the perimeter along the north side of the property. To meet
the full tree stocking requirements laid out in the Landuse Code section 3.2.1, please add additional trees from the list mentioned above in comment 5: Kentucky coffetree (Gymnocladus
dioicus), Texas red oak (Quercus buckleyi), or chinkapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii). The spacing requirements for trees are stated below:1520’ between ornamentals or ornamental and
shade trees3040’ between shade treesZP Response: Tree spacing has been adjusted to meet the spacing requirements as the site restrictionsallow. The detention pond is located in the
only location possible on site to allow discharge to the existing ROW ditch. The pond overlaps with the landscape buffer zone and the required new 9’ Utility Easement along the west
property line. No trees can be located within the detention pond and the easement. Trees and Shrubs are proposed around the pond perimeter in natural groupings with balance spacing around
the pond perimeter.Department: PFAContact: Jim Lynxwiler, 9704162869, jlynxwiler@poudrefire.orgTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/07/202010/07/2020:

10/07/202010/07/2020: FIRE DEPARTMENT HOSE CONNECTION Fire Department Connections (FDC) shall be installed in accordance with NFPA standards. Fire department connections shall be located
on the street side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access. The location of fire service line and FDC shall be
approved by the fire department and the location labeled on Utility Plans.ZP Response: FDC will be located at the SE corner of the new Warehouse Bldg. with direct access from the Fire
Emergency Access Easement.Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/07/202010/07/2020: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT > Fire access to within a 150-foot perimeter of the proposed
storage building has not been achieved. The code allows some latitude in that measure when the building is equipped throughout with an automatic fire sprinkler system but the current
condition as shown measures at approximately 200 feet out of access. The fire marshal will approve a plan which extends the fire lane along the east side of the building to a point that
reduces the out of access distance to 100 feet. A turnaround is not required when the deadend length does not exceed 150 feet.ZP Response: The Fire Emergency Access Easement/Fire Lane
has been extended along the East façade of the Bldg to the NE corner of the Bldg. > The FDC shall be accessible from within 100 feet of the fire lane. It looks like that will be achieved.ZP
Response: The FDC has been located at the SE corner of the new Warehouse Bldg. > For clarity, the width of the fire lane shall be expanded to include the full width of both drive entries
coming into the site from the south and the west.ZP Response: Fire Lane Width has been increased to match the paved drive width. > All portions of the fire lane shall be constructed
to minimum specifications, provided previously.ZP Response: Fire Lane will meet the min. specifications outlined in the Concept Comments. > In recognizing the fire lane is sometimes
defined within a larger, hard surfaced area, the code requires the fire lane to be signed and identified, where possible. As a minimum, the main entry drives aisles shall be signed.ZP
Response: Fire Lane signs have been noted on the Site Plan and will be either bldg. mounted or pole mounted where they do not interfere with the Outdoor Storage access. > Any gate obstructing
a fire lane shall be equipped with an approved design as previously indicated so as to demonstrate compliance with IFC D103.5. A means of fire department access to the facility when
locked shall be discussed and approved. You are welcome to reach out to me directly with details of the gate design unless you want to provide that information with the next submittal.ZP
Response: There are 2 sliding gates. A Knox Box with access key will be provided at South gate as noted. Spec will be per PFD. > I'm also questioning why the EAE isn't represented on
the plat? Platting usually includes details of easements dedicated.ZP Response: The Emergency Access Easement is included on the Plat resubmittal.Comment Number: 4 Comment
