Number: 5 Created: 1 /27/2011 [1/27/11] Site is located in the Neighborhood Residential Sign District, which is more restrictive than the commercial sign district. See LUC 3.8.7. The PDP is ready to be scheduled for an Administrative Public Hearing. Sometime during the week of March 7 —11 is possibly the best time to conduct the hearing. However, a Hearing Officer must be acquired before the actual date can be set. These comments can be addressed with the Final Plan submittal that will be made after the public hearing. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you submit for Final Plan review. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6341. 4Y rs Truly, S e0LOR-'.- 05�1t City Planner cc: Andrew Carney Lee Martin / Vignette Studios John Meyers / JR Engineering John Slack / W.W.

Page 6 Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 25 Created: 2/15/2011 WATER SUPPLY Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include: • Commercial and multi -family dwellings 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter • Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter • Residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. NOTE: The existing hydrant is approximately 290 feet from the structure, measured as supply hose would lay out from an engine. 2006 International Fire Code 508.1 and Appendix B Number: 26 Created: 2/15/2011 REQUIRED ACCESS Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's jurisdiction when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: ❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. ❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. ❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane (26 feet on at least one long side of the building when the structure is three or more stories in height). If the building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic fire -sprinkler system, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet. NOTE: Thank you for showing the existing/new EAEs. We will not require red curb paint but will require the placement of four NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs. Please get with me to discuss and I can provide sign templates, as well. 2006 International Fire Code 503.1.1, 503.2.3, 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D Number: 27 Created: 2/15/2011 ADDRESS NUMERALS Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum six-inch high numerals on a contrasting background.

Page 5 Number: 37 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11) Also, for the portion of the proposed emergency access easement that is off -site, a separate dedication will need to be done as it is under a different property owner. This off - site easement will also require a letter of intent prior to hearing. Number: 38 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11 ] Please show what the existing ROW width on Timberline Road is.

Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Lindsay Ex Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 18 Created: 2/9/2011 [2/9/11] Note 11 on the Landscape Plan needs to be amended, as the site does not have natural feature buffer zone. Please remove the sentence that begins with "All changes of species..." unless the applicant feels a buffer zone should be provided within the project. Page 4 Number: 12 Created: 2/1 /2011 [2/1/11] What is the curved driveway at the southeast corner of the building for? It could be eliminated to allow for the building and parking to be moved about 3' east so that a 5' wide landscape buffer can be provided between the street sidewalk and the parking lot/vehicular use area on this development plan. Number: 13 Created: 2/1 /2011 [2/1/11] Based on the Building Elevations as submitted, it appears that the maximum height of any portion of the building is 30'; therefore, that is the Maximum Building Height that should be shown in the LAND USE BREAKDOWN box. Number: 44 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11 ] Under the Automatic Carwash Pay Stations, are those raised islands? The one island appears to be directly under the curb for the landscaped island.

Number: 49 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11] Please dimension (to the nearest scaled foot) all four sides of the carwash building.

Topic: Utility Plan Number: 20 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11] On the utility plan, whenever the proposed EAE is called out please include Rec. # after EAE recorded by separate document so that the reception number can be entered after the easement has been filed. Number: 21 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11] For any easement that is dedicated by separate document, a TDRF fee of $250 will apply. Please submit a legal description and an exhibit displaying the proposed easement (an original signed and stamped copy is only required at the time of recording) and the technical services department will check and approve the legal. Once the legal is approved, I will provide a deed of dedication that the property owner will need to complete along with their attorney. Once the deed and legal/exhibit are finalized, the easement will be recorded at the County and their recording fees will apply. Number: 24 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11 ] For the proposed off -site construction to the south of the property an off -site construction easement will be needed as well as a letter of intent prior to hearing. Page 3 Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 14 Created: 2/1 /2011 [2/1/11] There appears to be discrepancy between the Landscape Plan and the PLANTING LIST on the plan relative to the proposed Evergreen Shrub. Is it JUCO (in the list) or JUEF (on the plan)? Number: 15 Created: 2/1 /2011 [2/1/11] A graphic showing how the Landscape Plan is satisfying the required Parking Lot Interior Landscaping as set forth in Section 3.2.1(E)(5) and Section 3.2.2(M)(1) of the LUC must be submitted for review by City staff.

Number: 42 Created: 2/15/2011 [2/15/11] The Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass does not appear to be large enough or appropriate to provide year -around screening of the facility from South Timberline Road. Topic: Site Plan Number: 7 Created: 1 /31 /2011 [1/31/11] Please show the building square footage within the building footprint. Number: 8 Created: 1 /31 /2011 [1/31/11] Please label and show the width of the existing sidewalk along South Timberline Road.

Also, a detail is needed for the enclosure that demonstrates compliance with the LUC requirements. Number: 11 Created: 2/1 /2011 [2/1/11] There appears to be an existing sidewalk along the north side of the entry drive from South Timberline Road. This sidewalk should remain and be extended east to the new driveway into the car wash site.
