Please note SOPs and final details will be required with final plans. 03/23/2022: Thank you for providing spill containment on the site. Some questions remain about the design of this system. Please see redlines for additional information. Please note SOPs for the spill containment will be required as a part of final design. 08/30/2021: Spill control structures are required for all new and redeveloping gas stations and vehicle maintenance facilities. In addition to emergency spill response procedures, such as the use of absorbent booms, structural spill controls must be used to protect all areas downstream of the site including roadways, drainage channels, storm sewer systems, wetlands, creeks and tributaries from petroleum products and other pollutants that are stored and handled at gas stations and vehicle maintenance facilities. The spill control structure can be a below grade concrete vault and should be placed in a location on the site that allows for spills to be directed toward it. Low flows, both pollutant spills and runoff from small storms, should be able to be directed into the control structure. Larger storm flows may be directed into the control structure but more likely will overtop a curb or bypass the spill structure and runoff toward the site detention basin. The spill control structure or vault must have a minimum capacity of 150 gallons. The vault should be covered for safety although ventilation should be provided to allow for evaporation between storms. The spill control structure is a permanent facility and is not part of the SWMP. Please provide a spill control structure along with SOPs for this facility. Note: full details including SOPs are not needed for Hearing; however, spill containment must be shown to be provided prior to Hearing. RESPONSE: SOP provided. Spill Containment vault has been designed and dimensioned. 9 1880 Fall River Drive / Suite 200 / Loveland, CO 80538 O 970.461.7733 / olsson.com Comment Number: 5 11/01/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN REMINDER: 08/30/2021: Please remove AutoCAD SHX comments from PDF plans. AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set, and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the PDF file.

Conversation on the meter location will continue through the FDP approval process. Comment Number: 5 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN UPDATED: The two vaults shown on the plan set appear to be 3'x3' which is to small. Please show 2 vaults that are 3.5'x6.5' each on the plan set to represent the actual size of the proposed vaults. 03/29/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED: Thank you for showing the two vaults on the Utility Plan. One for 3 phase and one for the single phase needed to serve Lot 2. Leaving this active until comment number one has been fleshed out. 08/30/2021: FOR HEARING: Light & Power is investigating bringing the primary feed from the West along Prospect. This would avoid getting primary across Lemay Ave. which was recently paved. This would involve cutting in a primary vault, maybe two, along Prospect for the 3 phase. Please coordinate a primary vault location with Light & Power and show on the plan set. RESPONSE: Vault sizes have been updated. 14 1880 Fall River Drive / Suite 200 / Loveland, CO 80538 O 970.461.7733 / olsson.com Comment Number: 6 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN UNRESOLVED: The proposed streetlight location on Prospect is located to far to the east. Please show the proposed location just east of the proposed electric vaults. 09/01/2022: FOR HEARING UNRESOLVED: The proposed streetlight along Prospect next to the proposed electric vaults is not shown on the plan set. 03/29/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED: The existing streetlight along Prospect will need to be relocated for the right turn lane. Please show a proposed streetlight next to the two proposed vaults along Prospect. Please adjust the proposed street trees along Prospect and Lemay to meet the minimum spacing requirements. 08/30/2021: FOR HEARING: There are two existing streetlights that will need to be relocated with this project. They will need to be in the Public ROW or a Utility easement. Please coordinate with Light & Power. Streetlights will be placed along public streets. A 40 feet separation on both sides of the light is required between canopy trees and streetlights. A 15 feet separation on both sides of the light is required between ornamental trees and streetlights. RESPONSE: Streetlight has been relocated. 15 1880 Fall River Drive / Suite 200 / Loveland, CO 80538 O 970.461.7733 / olsson.com Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Scott Benton, (970)416 4290, sbenton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 5 03/29/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please provide the remediation plans, remediation dewatering permits, etc. that are required to fully address the REC to ensure the City's interests are preserved. For instance, the remediation plan should address the treatment of the contaminated groundwater and/or soils generated by dewatering for underground storage tank installation, whether a vapor intrusion barrier is needed, etc. RESPONSE: The Redevelopment Environmental Concerns Plan, prepared by Seneca Companies, is included within this submittal and addresses the forementioned concerns. 16 1880 Fall River Drive / Suite 200 / Loveland, CO 80538 O 970.461.7733 / olsson.com Department: Forestry Contact: Freddie Haberecht, , fhaberecht@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Landscape planting diagrams on sheet L1.3 are not to City of Fort Collins standards. Please indicate that trees should be planted with the root flair an inch or two above final grade. In addition to this trees need to be mulched with a mulch ring that is 4 6’ feet in diameter and 2 4” deep. RESPONSE: Requested notes detailing root flair and mulch ring information have been added within sheet L1.3. Comment Number: 4 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please also include all DBH values in the tree inventory table. RESPONSE: DBH values have been added. Comment Number: 9 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please consider changing the species of the bur oak and honeylocust specified on the plan. These trees have reached they're maximum targeted percentage in our citywide canopy and we are trying to refrain from using them moving forward. Other options for this space could include Chinkapin oak, Texas red oak, Shumard oak, or Kentucky coffeetree. RESPONSE: Tree species have been revised as requested. Comment Number: 10 10/31/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Tree spacing along S Lemay does not allow for required 40' distance between street lights and shade trees. Please adjust tree spacing to allow for 40' distance. RESPONSE: Proper spacing cannot be met as the streetlight is existing. The tree located in front of the bus stop has been changed to an ornamental and moved to Prospect. All other trees along Lemay meet the spacing requirements. Proper spacing is also provided on Prospect, and removing the tree in front of the bus stop will provide better visibility between bus drivers and riders.
