File names should begin with the file type, followed by the project information, and round number. Example: UTILITY PLANS_PROJECT NAME_PDP_Rd2.pdf File type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names.

Reach out to me if you would like a list of suggested names. *Please disregard any references to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs. Comment Number: 4 12/29/2022: SUBMITTAL: All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers. Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be removed from the PDF’s. 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. The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and newer) in the command line and enter "0".

Department: Planning Services Contact: Arlo Schumann aschumann@fcgov.com 970-221-6599 Topic: General Comment Number: 2 08/23/2023: FOR APPROVAL: The plat labels the new subdivision plat plan as Lot 1 and also shows Parcel A and Parcel B, but does not seem to show a parcel dividing line on the plan. It is unclear to planning staff what the intent is. There was an assumption that this was intended to be a single lot and parcel and the intent was to use it as a single property. The issue for planning is that a parcel line would be used as a property line for determining setbacks, and would need to be shown not to conflict with the existing building placement and setback requirements. We would like to get clarity on the intent and revise the plat documents to avoid confusion. Possible options we had are: Revise the plat to only have 1 lot/ 1 parcel Or If both parcels are under common ownership provide notes on the plans that these two parcels are to be used as a single property and that a transfer of ownership of a parcel would require a new plat. 4 Updated on Plat Document Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Contact: Stephen Agenbroad sagenbroad@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 08/21/2023: INFORMATION ONLY: After doing a site visit and looking at the provided site plan, it appears that the fire hydrant is located within the dedicated ROW. In addition, the required 15-ft of public utility easement provides the necessary easement width for the existing fire hydrant. It looks as though the "Waterline Easement" extends up to the water meter which is considered private. Therefore, the additional "waterline easement" is not necessary. Therefore, once the easement is removed then no other requirements apply at this time necessary. Updated on Plat Document Department: Light And Power Contact: Rob Irish rirish@fcgov.com 970-224-6167 Topic: General Comment Number: 1 08/21/2023: FOR APPROVAL - UPDATED: Comment responses indicate the easement has been shown on the plat but I am not seeing the easement and it does not appear to exist. This easement would be along the west edge of Parcel A to encompass the existing electric facilities feeding 2540 W. LaPorte. A 10-foot easement would be preferred for future upgrade but could go with an 8 foot if needed. Please reach out to me directly if this is confusing or I missed the easement somehow. Thanks! 12/29/2022: FOR APPPROVAL: Light & Power has existing electric facilities feeding 2540 LaPorte Ave. With the platting of the property, we would like to see the existing transformer and electric primary placed in a Utility easement. Updated on Plat Document Department: Building Services Contact: Russell Hovland rhovland@fcgov.com 970-416-2341 Topic: Building Insp Plan Review Comment Number: 1 08/21/2023: If this is PSD school property and buildings, then it is not regulated by the City building dept and permits should go thru the school districts normal process. Comment Number: 2 5 08/21/2023: I noticed that the main building on the site is built against its east property line and does not provide the minimum fire separation distance required by the building code. If re-platting, I strongly suggest removing the PL that divides the the lots so that the fire separation is no longer an issue.
