jholland@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/19/2021FOR APPROVAL:The bollard in the middle of the concrete sidewalk restricts the walkway widthand
this does not work for pedestrian access. If this is the only location that can be agreed to then the sidewalk will need to be extended 4 feet on either side of the bollard and then
can gradually transition back to the 4’ walk alignment on either side.RESPONSE:The walk has been widened to allow for 4’ clear on one side of the bollard which then transitions back
to the 4’ walk alignment.Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/19/2021FOR INFORMATION:A typical automobile is 72 inches wide and a typical truck is 80 inches wide. The proposed
bollard restricts the access to 85 inches. Planning staff suggests that the applicant and ditch owners consider an access control width that makes it clearer that an automobile cannot
drive around the proposed access control.RESPONSE: No longer applicable per Jason Holland. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/19/2021FOR APPROVAL:Please provide dimensions
on the site plan indicating the proposed location of the 4’ sidewalk within the 12’ tract.RESPONSE: Provided. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/19/2021FOR APPROVAL:Please

Erosion ControlContact: Basil Hamdan, 9702221801, bhamdan@fcgov.comTopic: Erosion ControlComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/13/202101/13/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:Starting
in January of 2021, the City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.52 was updated to include fees for ErosionControl and Stormwater Inspections. These fees will
now be collected on allprojects. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total sitedisturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active and the
Stormwater Inspection Fees are based off the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based upon the materials submitted we are using 8 lots, 1.86 acres of disturbance,
1 year from demo through build out of construction and an additional 2 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which roughly equates to an Erosion Control Fee of $ 1,359.22.
Based on 2 bioretention we estimate the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee to be $ 630. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet that was used to arrive at thesenumbers for your information.The
fee will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow. FOR FINAL APPROVAL:Please add a note stating that all permanent stormwater quality control measures will be constructed
as part of the last phase of construction to minimize potential for sedimentation.RESPONSE: Note added to the erosion control plan.Department: Stormwater EngineeringContact: Matt Simpson,
