Northern Response: Understood 4 Department: Planning Services Contact: Pete Wray, 970-221-6754, pwray@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: – LANDSCAPE PLAN Need to increase the planting area adjacent to the front parking lot to provide adequate screening. The steep slope and retaining wall conflict with this requirement. See stormdrainage comments on detention pond design. At the NW corner of main storage building A, please add a planting area between the drive and foundation of this building to include ground plane planting and trees. This will need to be coordinated with meter and u tility connections. Building D, please add trees to foundation planting on south side. North portion of private drive, please add shade trees. This again will be dependent on how detantion pond area is designed. Tree species diversity for 33 trees proposed can not exceed 33% for any one type. The canopy shade tree type shows 58%, exceeding this standard. With the next submittal, please include a complete landscape planting legend with more detail on compliance with each standard. Ripley Response: Planting bed width in front of northern parking area has been increased. Planting beds are provided in between the tiered retaining wall to achieve natural aesthetic requirements. Trees now show proposed species and species diversity ta ble Comment Number: 2 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: SECTION 3.2.4 - LIGHTING The city has adopted new lighting standards that are applicable for this new project.

Ripley Response: Trash enclosure has been rotated and shifted farther away from the drive access Comment Number: 4 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: PLAT 5 Lot 1: Please add building envelope for location of Building A to match Lot 2 Note that states “Not part of Utility, Drainage, and Access easement”. Northern Response: Exclusion note removed from cover and linework added to plat. Exclusion easements will be added and blanket easements will be vacated and rededicated Comment Number: 5 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: SECTION 3.5.3 - COMMERCIAL BUILDING STANDARDS WHAT TO ADD TO ELEVATIONS Variation in Massing. A single, large, dominant building mass shall be avoided in new buildings. Horizontal masses shall not exceed a height: width ratio of 1:3 without substantial variation in massing that includes a change in height and a projecting or recessed elements. Changes in mass shall be related to entrances, the integral structure and/or the organization of interior spaces and activities and not merely for cosmetic effect. False fronts or parapets create an insubstantial appearance and are prohibited. Facades. Facades that face streets or connecting pedestrian frontage shall be subdivided and proportioned using features such as windows, entrances, arcades, arbors, awnings, treillage with vines, along no less than fifty (50) percent of the facade. Base and Top Treatments. All facades shall have: a recognizable "base" consisting of (but not limited to): thicker walls, ledges or sills; integrally textured materials such as stone or other masonry; integrally colored and patterned materials such as smooth-finished stone or tile; lighter or darker colored materials, mullions or panels; or planters. A recognizable "top" consisting of (but not limited to): cornice treatments, other than just colored "stripes" or "bands," with integrally textured materials such as stone or other masonry or differently colored materials; sloping roof with overhangs and brackets; and stepped parapets. Building A: • On all facades, please add a horizontal dark band (wood siding to match vertical element) at midpoint and aligned with the separation between windows to break up the wall planes within stucco material areas. • North façade at internal mid-point storage entrance and overhang canopy, extend masonry to frame this wall plane to match south façade design. • Increase size of top metal parapet cap in width and extend overhang further to strengthen top treatment on all sides of building. ARCO Response: A wood siding band has been added to all four sides, the masonry frame has been expanded at the side entry and the parapet cap has been enlarged, (taller). Please see sheets 7 of 11 and 8 of 11. Comment Number: 6 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: SECTION 3.5.1 (C)(G)(1)(H) - BUILDING AND PROJECT 6 COMPATIBILITY Please note on landscape plan to show how the PDP is meeting the building compatibility transition between new development adjacent to existing. The transition to the maximum extent feasib le should show a gradual transition and buffer yard along west portion of property. The LUC sections mentioned in the narrative I agree do not apply here. I think what you are showing with two smaller buildings at 1-story and the evergreen screening can accomplish the intent; we just need to document in plans accordingly. Ripley Response: A note has been added to the landscape details sheet explaining the intent in this area. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Tim Dinger, , tdinger@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: Please add proposed sight distance triangles to the site plan for any access that is new or will be modified during this project.

We will coordinate with FDP Comment Number: 3 03/21/2022: FOR HEARING: There is a blanket Utility, Drainage and Access Easement on a majority of this site. You cannot construct new building over an easement, therefore a building envelope must be vacated from the easement where the proposed building is to be constructed. The plat will need to be revised, to show "NOT A PART OF UTILITY, DRAINAGE, AND ACCESS EASEMENT..." where the building will be constructed on Lot 1, similar to how it is shown for Lot 2. Northern Response: Exclusion note removed from cover sheet. Linew ork for exclusion easements have been added to plat. New easements will be dedicated with plat Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Spencer Smith, 970-221-6820, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 03/23/2022: INFORMATION ONLY 7 There are TIS comments under the ODP project number. The TIS should be submitted with the ODP submittal packet with future submittals. Comment Number: 2 03/23/2022: FOR HEARING The shared/common access drive between Lot 1 and Lot 2 should have an access easement designation in addition to emergency access, if Lot 2 is planned to use this access drive in the future. Northern Response: To keep linework simple, a banket access e asement is dedicated over common access. Blanket access is provided for sidewalks, parking, and drive aisle. Department: Erosion Control Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-222-1801, bhamdan@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 03/18/2022: INFORMATION ONLY: This project is located within the City's MS4 boundaries and is subject to the erosion control requirements located in the Stormwater Design Criteria, Chapter 2, Section 6.0. A copy of those requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion. Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and/or meets one of the other triggering criteria (sensitive area, steep slopes, or larger common development) that would require Erosion and Sediment Control Materials to be submitted at Final. Based upon the area of disturbance or this project is part of a larger common development, State permits for stormwater will be required since the site is over an acre and should be pulled before Construction Activities begin. The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of permits, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 4 buildings, 1.98 acres of disturbance, 1 year from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Inspection Fee estimate of $1381.64. Based on 5 fields of underground treatment facilities, the estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee is $2075. Strategic Storage Partners Response: SSP Understands this fee will be paid. Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to review. 8 Comment Number: 2 03/18/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please submit an Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.3) Please ensure that the Erosion Control Plans provided include a sequence chart in accordance with (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.3.2) Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation based upon the accepted Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria.

Department: Forestry Contact: Christine Holtz, , choltz@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 03/22/2022: FOR HEARING- 43 mitigation trees are needed to mitigate for canopy loss of 33 trees. The landscape plan shows 43 proposed trees, but the Tree Species Diversity table says 33 trees will be planted onsite. Additionally, the species diversity numbers are inconsistent with the Tree Legend. Ripley Response: Tree diversity table is now included. There may be a need for cash in lieu option for miti gation in tandem with mitigation trees on site for this project depending on final landscape design. Comment Number: 2 03/22/2022: FOR HEARING- Please specify what species will be planted onsite, while keeping in mind that the maximum percentage of any one species for a development planting 40 – 49 trees is 25% (LUC 3.2.1 (D) (3)). Ripley Response: Tree diversity table is now included. Comment Number: 3 03/22/2022: FOR HEARING According to Land Use Code 3.2.1.(D)(c), canopy shade trees shall constitute at least (50%) of all tree plantings. The Tree Legend shows 18 canopy trees, 20 evergreen trees, and 4 ornamental trees proposed resulting in 43% canopy 15 shade trees. Please adjust these numbers to meet t he requirements.
