04/20/2020: Any fire lane required by the Poudre Fire Authority must be kept
clear of parked vehicles and other obstructions at all times. The fire lane must
be posted with a sign so that it is kept free of any obstructions such as parked
cars. Please indicate locations of signs on site plan.
JR Response: Signs delineated on site plan.

04/20/2020: All exterior lighting must be down-directional and fully shielded.
The photometric plan does not adequately demonstrate that the wall packs
selected meet the requirements of this section. Please clean up fixture
information so that it clearly demonstrates the specifications of what is being
proposed.
Rick Foerester Response: Addressed
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/20/2020
04/20/2020: Due to this site’s location within the Commercial Limited zone
district a connecting walkway is required for industrial buildings. Meaning, the
walkway to the east will need to be continued in a logical and well-designed
manner. Standards require the connecting walkway to be unobstructed by
vertical curbs, stairs, raised landscape islands and must link street sidewalk
with the building’s entryways.
JR Response: Sidewalk extended per recommendation.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/20/2020
04/20/2020: The building must contain a recognizable base, middle, and top.
The area of most concern is the south and east facing facades. Examples of a
recognizable base includes 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, etc.
Rick Foerester Response: Imitation stone veneer has been added to the south and east facing
facades to match what exists on the adjacent detached building to the east. The paint colors also
(field and trim) are to be the same as the adjacent building as well. Therefore, both buildings are
finished with same style and color for consistency on the property.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/20/2020
04/20/2020: All areas of the site that are not covered by buildings, structures,
paving or impervious surface require landscaping to prevent erosion and meet
other functional and visual purposes.
JR Response: See landscape plan for revised landscape screening.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 04/20/2020
04/20/2020:
It appears that all south facing service doors are will be removed and one will be
added to the east side of the building. Loading docks, service bays and garage
doors cannot face any abutting public street and is encouraged to face side
yard. Is it feasible to leave one existing service door on the south side of the site
in its location?
Rick Foerester Response: Respectfully, no. Needed at the end of the work zone is a large wash
bay. The size is such that it the orientation of that facility then hinders movement in the area with
the large water tanks alongside the Vegetation and Flower Rooms. The new overhead door is
considerably smaller in size than the existing overhead doors. Only 7-feet wide and 8-feet high.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/13/2020
04/13/2020: CHANGE OF USE
While the Occupancy Classification is determined by the Building Department,
the proposed use of the building appears to create a Group F-1 Occupancy.
Should the existing building undergo a change of use with this classification, the
site shall meet all current requirements of the 2018 International Fire Code.
Rick Foerester Response: Understood. The Use will be mixed, F-1 / B.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/13/2020
04/13/2020: FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM VS. FIRE CONTAINMENT
The building exceeds 5,000 square feet and shall be sprinklered or fire
separated so that no fire area exceeds 5,000 square feet. If containment is
used, the containment construction shall be reviewed and approved by the
Poudre Fire Authority prior to installation. If sprinklered, the fire line shall be
noted on the Utility Plans.
Rick Foerester Response: Understood. Currently the western portion of the building is 5,101 s.f.
For operation of the proposed facility, the applicant request that the existing space remain,
however, to provide the proper containment of this larger area from the rest of the building
structure to the east, this separation wall shall be modified to increase the fire-rating, required by
Code to a 3-hour wall.

A fire hydrant capable of providing 1500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure is
required within 300 feet of the building. The existing hydrant on site meets this
location requirement, however, it is always the responsibility of the applicant to
verify pressure and volume.

04/13/2020: FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS
Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of any building, or
facility as measured by an approved route around the perimeter. The EAE as
identified on the Site Plan is ambiguous and should be better defined. The fire
lane shown on the Utility and Landscape Plans as an Emergency Access
Easement fulfills perimeter access in principle; however, portions of the fire lane
are currently obstructed or not built to standard. Conditions of approval include
improving the fire lane to minimum specifications as outlined below.
JR Response: Extents denoted more clearly. Fire lane improvements called out to meet specifications.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/13/2020
04/13/2020: FIRE LANE - MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
> All portions of the fire lane shall be maintained unobstructed at all times.
JR Response: Noted
> The hammerhead turnaround is not properly delineated. It is obstructed by
parked cars and vegetation. Portions of the surface are gravel, there is an
existing tree which may be in conflict or as a minimum, needs to be limbed to a
height of 14 feet.
JR Response: Trees/Vegetation will be removed or limbed to the designated height. See tree mitigation
plan
> The fire lane shall be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface
capable of supporting 40 tons. At this time, all portions of the dedicated
Emergency Access Easement are required to be hard surfaced. This includes
the area immediately south of the grow facility as well as the hammerhead
turnaround.
JR Response: All fire lane areas are to be paved with and capable of supporting 40 tons as denoted on the
plans
> The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum
of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. The existing hammerhead turnaround was
not constructed to this standard. Updated plans appear to indicate improvement
so long as other requirements as outlined above, are being met.
JR Response: Noted
> All portions of the fire lane shall be identified with appropriate signage. This
is not currently provided to minimum standard. Further development shall
include a whole-site approach to bringing all portions to minimum standards.
Sign locations or red curbing shall be labeled and detailed on final plans. Refer
to LCUASS detail #1418 & #1419 for sign type, placement, and spacing.
Please add LCUASS sign detail to plan set.
JR Response: Fire signage has been denoted on the plans.

04/06/2020: Please provide an estimate of the area disturbed with this project.
If the total disturbed area due to construction and or grading activities exceeds
10,000 square feet then an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and an escrow
would be required. If the disturbed area exceeds 1 acre, then an Erosion and
Sediment Control Report would also be required in addition to plan and escrow.
In that case the site would also be subject to state requirements for a
dewatering discharge permit. If the total disturbed area is less than 10,000
square feet then the site still needs to maintain good housekeeping practices
but will not be subject to Erosion and sediment control materials submittal.
However, City Erosion Control inspectors would respond to the site on a
complaint basis and the contractor would still need to maintain site control in a
manner that prevents debris and sediment from entering the stormwater system
at all times.
JR Response: Total Disturbed area = 40,332 sf. Erosion Control Plan is provided.
