Comment Originated: 08/03/2021INFORMATION:Temporary Service Changes City of Fort Collins Development ReviewTo best provide thorough reviews and give every project the attention
it deserves, the City of Fort Collins is implementing temporary changes in how we serve our development customers. As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a number
of key departments, which has begun to impact the timeliness of our reviews. We recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and economic
recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service level adjustments.Currently, one additional
week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks). Lengths of subsequent rounds of review will be considered after each round of
review. Also, Completeness Checks will be performed on all initial and Round 2 submittals during this time. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.RMS Response: Noted, thanks.Comment

you for providing a sizing letter. Please note that the pressure providewas an estimate only; if more accurate/precise pressure is needed, measurement will need to be made. A disc

January 1, 2022, all nonresidential and multifamily developments will be required to have a separate irrigation tap, provide a preliminary irrigation plan at FDP and meet updated water
supply requirements. In general, developments that use less water will pay less (e.g., offices or retail spaces), while developments that use more water will pay more (e.g., restaurants
or hotels). Staff encourages developments to take these upcoming requirements into consideration now. Specific information can be found at fcgov.com/wsrupdate.RMS Response:Irrigation
plan and landscape plan have been updated with new hydrozones. Previous irrigation plans did not include ROW lawn, that has been added and numbers updated. The property is under the
30,000 gallons annually and therefore does not require a separate meter.Department: Light And PowerContact: Tyler Siegmund, 9704162772, tsiegmund@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment

the existing electric service to the neighboring property to the east that is within the existing 6ft utility easement on the east side of this property will need to be relocated within
the same utility easement. This relocation will be an expense to the project and may need to be completed during early morning hours to minimize outage impacts and may require overtime
hours for our line crew to complete the relocation.Forge and Bow Response: Noted.Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/03/202108/03/2021: INFORMATION:We can serve your
electrical needs for this project out of an existing vault located at southeast corner of the property, adjacent to the alley. A newtransformer will not be needed on site. If this existing
vault needs to be modified or relocated as part of the project then the associated costs will be an expense to the project. The conductor that feeds this vault from the transformer will
need to be upsized to handle the additional electric load for the project. System modifications will be needed and a cost to the project.Forge and Bow Response: Noted.Comment Number:
