Regarding this project, any submittals received the week of May 10, 2021 forward will be subject to 4-week review periods in addition to a completeness check with the Round 2 submittal. Please reach out if there are any questions regarding this temporary adjustment. Thank you! Response: Understood. Thank you for the heads-up. We will plan accordingly. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970-221-6603, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (DA) Thank you for the Development Agreement information form submittal. I will be working with City staff to get a draft DA prepared after our review of your 2nd FDP submittal. That draft will go to our City Attorney for review and a revised (If necessary) draft will be provided to your team at that time to review. Alpine Bank Redevelopment SEC of S. College Avenue & E. Prospect Road May 19, 2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 2 of 15 Response: Understood. Thank you. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (DCP) A DCP will be required for this project. Please refer to the City Engineering Development Review website for more information: https://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php. The City will need a DCP application and fee to be submitted prior to scheduling your DCP meeting. We will also need an engineer's opinion of cost to be submitted for review by our Engineering Inspections staff. This cost estimate will provide the basis for the inspection fees and Engineering public infrastructure surety that will need to be provided prior to issuance of the DCP. Please use the cost estimate template (recently updated) available on the Engineering Development Review website listed above. Response: A cost estimate has been completed per request. We will coordinate the Development Construction Permit (DCP) and fees with our client and the General Contractor as we move closer to construction start. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL I have a few concerns about the emergency vehicle turning template that was submitted showing a fire truck navigating the site and exiting onto Prospect (see redlines). The main concern is the path shown extending over the existing median in Prospect. I am not sure if this is the path of the bucket on the truck, front bumper, wheel, etc. There are existing signs, a sculpture, and landscaping in the median that we cannot have a truck running over. Let's discuss. If this patch will result in damage to public property, we'll need to have you look at modifying the Prospect/alley intersection. Response: Auto turn exhibit has been updated to turn on spot and avoid conflict with the median. Thank you. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please see site plan redlines (sheets 1-3) for site plan comments. Response: Galloway has not received Engineering Department redlines with the final set of comments provided to date. However, all written comments have been fully addressed. Alpine Bank Redevelopment SEC of S. College Avenue & E. Prospect Road May 19, 2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 3 of 15 Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please confirm that the trash enclosure doors won't open into the alley ROW. It doesn't appear that it will be an issue, but I wanted to make sure you have looked closely at that. Response: Trash enclosure location has been updated to meet ROW requirement. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please ensure that the monument sign and any other above grade improvements are outside of the vehicle sight line/triangle at the Prospect/alley intersection. Response: The monument sign has been moved out of conflict with the sight triangle. Thank you. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL The removal of existing striping on College Ave. needs to be shown and called out on the plans. Response: Per coordination with City traffic no restriping is required to incorporate the widened right turn lane configuration. The proposed right turn lane striping was shifted 1ft west to provide additional tuning space without impacting the existing adjacent st riping. Thank you. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021 04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL The rest of my comments can be found in my redlines. Please thoroughly review the entire redline set and address all comments. It will be helpful if you continue to provide specific responses to each comment that indicate how the comment/redline was addressed. Since the majority of the comments are in the redlined pdf, a pdf submittal that includes responses to the redlines directly on the pdf sheets would probably be the most useful. Please include something to the effect of "Redline Responses" in the file name. Response: Galloway has not received Engineering Department redlines with the final set of comments provided to date. However, all written comments have been fully addressed. Alpine Bank Redevelopment SEC of S. College Avenue & E. Prospect Road May 19, 2021 Galloway & Company, Inc.

Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Contact: Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418, wlamarque@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021 04/26/2021: FOR APPROVAL: The sanitary sewer service for the historical building is still not centered between the StormTech chambers and the trash enclosure. It looks like 10 feet is the total space provided and placing the service at 5 feet separation should work. Response: The sanitary sewer service location has been updated. Thank you. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021 04/26/2021: FOR APPROVAL: For the existing water service being proposed for reuse to serve the relocated historical building, the proposed tree is too close to the existing water meter. This meter pit needs to be relocated to the south so the service after the meter has the proper 6 feet spacing. Response: The tree at this location has been moved for proper clearance. Thank you. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021 04/26/2021: FOR APPROVAL: The electrical service line to the main bank building is still in conflict with the water services.

Department: Parks Contact: Aaron Wagner, , aawagner@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021 04/26/2021: FOR FINAL The Parks Dept. has concerns regarding the streetscaping along Prospect Rd. We understand that Alpine Bank has stated that they will be handling all landscaping and ongoing maintenance for the ROW as part of their property upkeep. Thank you for providing that clarification and including the note on sheet C0.1 -- note 12. This location is unique for the Parks Dept. and we would like to see some uniformity in the flower design to match the rest of the intersection’s annual flowerpots that Parks designs and maintains. To ensure that the ROW landscaping is addressed for potential future owners and is somewhat uniform in design and upkeep; please update the note and include it on the Site and Landscape Plans stating: "The design and installation of all Parkway/tree lawn and median areas in the Right-of-way shall be in accordance with the City Standards. Unless otherwise agreed to by the city with the Final Plans, all ongoing maintenance of such areas is the responsibility of the owner/developer. Annual/perennial plantings in the planter pots along Prospect Rd. shall be kept well maintained and thriving Alpine Bank Redevelopment SEC of S. College Avenue & E. Prospect Road May 19, 2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 9 of 15 in a manner that is consistent with the city owned and maintained plantings of the intersection. The owner/developer shall maintain these landscape features in perpetuity in order to keep the intersection features presentable." Moving forward, the Parks Dept. will more than likely approach the owner/developer of the site and present a flower design in late Fall of each year for Alpine Bank to consider matching in the following summer. We look forward to working with Alpine Bank on these features and appreciate your partnership.
