Re: Response to Staff Review Comments for Whitman Storage Facility II, 209E. Skyway
Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Ms. Ex:
We are forwarding this response along with revised project documents. The staff review comments
dated October 8, 2013 have been addressed in the following manner:
Current Planning Department:
General Comments:
APU request has been revised to reflect the specific site, i.e., Lot 3, Block 1, Lynn acres.
2. The Site Plan and Landscape Plan show the requested site with only enough of the existing site
to show how the two are connected.
3. The Elevation Plan shows only the proposed screen fencing.
4. The fencing used for the initial storage facility is being used with minor modifications. The
screening is to be used on all sides.
5. The screening for this proposal is not within fifty feet of existing or proposed structures.
Therefore tree stocking is not anticipated.
6. The landscape plan includes the size of plantings at installation.
7. Chain link fencing is not being used for screening.
8. additional exhibits are being included with the APU to give a visual reference from an aerial
perspective and horizontal images.
Engineering Development Review:
The PDP TDR Fee has been determined based upon the major modification area of 3.2 acres. If
it is to include the additional existing area for the minor amendment, then the $905 applies, if
not, no added fee is required.

Engineering Development Review:
2. Appropriate easements for emergency access and stormwater detention and other drainage
facilities will be provided by deed of dedication.
3. The plan has been separated into the previously approved PDP with minor amendment
indicated for the access to the proposed site and a major modification for the second storage
facility site.
4. Future development of Aaron Street is defined by existing agreement.
5. Date of Cover Sheet has been brought current.
6. The Utility Plan notes have been revised to indicate that no variances are being requested.
Environmental Planning:
An Ecological Characterization Study was previously submitted.
2. thru 4. referred to wetlands mitigation. This is no longer an issue.
5. Fuel spills are addressed as a part of the Stormwater Management Plan.
Forestry:
The comments stated refer to the approved PDP. No changes are to be made other than providing
connection with the proposed site.
Light and Power:
No electrical service is required for the proposed site.
Poudre Fire Authority:
Comments are mainly in reference to the existing approved PDP. The requirements will be met at the
time that the structure is permitted. The capacity of the existing drainage culvert is sufficient to allow
for fire apparatus.
Stormwater Engineering:
Erosion and sediment Control Materials to be provided with the FDP.
Conveyance of the 87 cfs offsite flow to be determined at FDP.
2. Forebay to be included at FDP.

3. The offsite basin 2 is conveyed through the undeveloped portion of the site.
Technical Services:
All comments to be addressed prior to FDP.
Zoning:
It is understood that the APU request in the C-L Zone requires a Type 2 review.
2. Clarification has been made as to the uses to be allowed on each site.
3. The 9' tall screening fence proposed is to be provided along all sides of the proposed area to be
developed.
4. The surface material of the open storage area is to be gravel and/or recycled asphalt and has
been so noted on the plan.
5. The plans have been separated to indicate the minor amendment to the existing PDP and the
major modification to the proposed PDP.
