Department: PFA Contact: Carle Dann, 970-219-5337, CDANN@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Number: 1 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS This proposed building shall be fire sprinklered. 2006 International Fire Code Section 903 Number: 2 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION Fire department connections shall be installed remote from the buildings or in an approved location, and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access or as otherwise approved by the fire code official. 2006 International Fire Code 912.2 and PFA Fire Prevention Bureau Policy Number: 3 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: KEY BOXES REQUIRED Poudre Fire Authority requires a key box ("Knox Box") to be mounted in approved location(s) on every new building equipped with a required fire -sprinkler system or fire -alarm system. Knox Boxes are required to be installed approximately 60 inches above grade and no higher than 72 inches above grade. PLEASE NOTE: PFA sells Knox Boxes at cost at our headquarters, 102 Remington St., Fort Collins 2006 International Fire Code 506.1 Number: 4 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: FIRE LINE REQUIREMENT Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered shall have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a smaller fire line. NFPA 13 (2007) 23.1.3 Page 5 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Susan Joy, 970-221-6581, sjoy@fcgov.com Topic: General Number: 6 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please widen the Emergency Access Easement to include the curbs otherwise PFA can not enforce the "no parking" law or the painting and signage . requirements. The site and landscape plans have done this but the utility plans have not. I will need to see the updated plan sets prior to hearing to make sure that this has been done. Number: 7 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: The operable gate has not been placed where previously agreed. All previous meetings have had the gate placed east -west across the north drive aisle just north of the ramps to allow cars to turnaround off Summer Street. This arrangement provided the same benefits of the 100' culdesac on which the variance request was based and ultimately granted. Please relocate the gate to the agreed upon location and place it so that it doesn't block the ped ramps, sidewalks or parking spaces when open or closed. Number: 14 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please label tow, bow for all retaining walls on the site, landscape and utility plans. The retaining wall along Lake Street may require a handrail depending on the height of the wall. Number: 16 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please show, label, dimension all easements and row. Number: 17 Created: 05/06/2011 05106/2011: Please show and label all utilities, existing and proposed. Number: 18 Created: 05/16/2011 05/16/2011: From Erika Keeton, Special Projects Manager: Soil stabilization will be required in drive aisle/road areas for swelling soils. Number: 19 Created: 05/16/2011 05/16/2011: Please send over pdfs of the updated plan sets showing that the easements have been corrected, the location of the gate has been corrected to an approved location, the curb returns at Summer and the drive entrance have been corrected, and that sidewalk chases have been added to handle the flows (if choosing not to change the high point to reduce the area of drainage to 750sf or less). Topic: Landscape Plans Number: 15 05/06/2011: Please remove all contours. Topic: Site Plan Created: 05/06/2011 Number: 13 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please remove the "possible connection for shared parking" and only show existing and proposed improvements. You can always come through with revisions at a later date should you obtain your agreements with the neighboring property after these plans are approved and filed. Page 4 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Susan Joy, 970-221-6581, sjoy@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 11 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please show and dimension all street cuts and include the street cut note: Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards. Number: 12 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Grading Sheet - The temporary asphalt sidewalk to Prospect does not appear to meet ADA's maximum slope requirements. Please label the existing (or proposed?) channel and culvert shown at the north end of the asphalt sidewalk. There appears to be some grading being done to accommodate the sidewalk and we will want details of that in Final Compliance. Topic: General Number: 1 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: The City Engineer has approved your request not to terminate Summer Street in a 100' diameter culdesac and will accept the drive aisle with the Emergency Access and Access Easement provided that the sidewalks to Lake, Summer and Prospect are also placed in access easement and that the "hammerhead turnaround" remains free and clear to the public. I will need to see the updated plan sets prior to hearing to make sure that this has been done. Number: 2 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Summer Street must be terminated using the radius style curb return (see Illinois Street in Rigden Farm) as discussed in previous meetings. The method currently shown is what we use to narrow down a public street midblock, not what is used at intersections. The radius style curb also has the benefit of not effecting the driveway configuration for the property owner immediately to the west of this project nor does it eliminate as many on street parking spaces. Flowline and centerline profiles will be required in Final Compliance. Number: 3 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Summer Street sidewalk connection - Sidewalks can not be widened in increments of less than 4' so the area of taper must be completely removed and then reconstructed to the wider width. I suspect that the curb and gutter is attached to the existing sidewalk as well so you will need to remove and replace all sidewalk as far as you are removing the curb and gutter. All removed or newly constructed sidewalks must be put back detached to the current standard of 4.5' wide. Number: 4 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Driveways must be constructed in concrete to the right of way line. See detail 707. Number: 5 Created; 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: The pedestrian crossings in the drive aisles at the Summer intersection plus the temporary asphalt sidewalk, plus the permanent concrete sidewalk north to Lake Street and the sidewalks coming off Summer Street must be dedicated with a public access easement (2' either side).

Number: 9 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On sheet A3.2, on the right side of the East (southeast) elevation, there is a large two-story wall that except for the windows, is undifferentiated. Staff is concerned that this elevation is lacking a distinctive base as required in Section 3.5.3(D)(6). Number: 10 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On sheet A3.2, please indicate the color of the small, lower domes, and the color of the steel frame colonade with metal roof. Number: 11 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the Lighting Plan, please indicate in heavier line, the west property line. It appears that there are foot candles beyond the west property lien that exceed 0.1 but it is difficult to determine where these levels occur in relationship to the property line. Section 3.2.4(D)(8) requires that foot candles not exceed 0.1 as measured 20 feet off property line. Number: 12 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: The P.D.P. is ready for the Administrative Hearing. These comments can be addressed at the time of the Final Plan submittal. And, at your option, these comments can be addressed on a revised set of plans that may be forwarded to the Hearing Officer in advance of Final Plan submittal. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Susan Joy, 970-221-6581, sjoy@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 8 Created: 05/06/2011 05106/2011: Only the highlighted items on the checklist have been reviewed. Number: 9 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: No more than 750sf of drainage may flow from the driveways and across the sidewalk. Please adjust your highpoint accordingly or divert the flows from the driveway, through the parkway and install sidewalk chases to properly deal with the flows (Check both driveways on Lake and the driveway off Summer). Number: 10 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Please renumber the sheets so that the horizontal control sheet is before the grading and utility sheet. Please label tow, bow for all retaining walls. Please label and dimension all easements and row and whether or not they are existing or proposed. Once this information is shown on the horizontal control sheet, you can minimize what you have to label and dimension on all other sheets (lineweights will usually suffice).

Horsetooth Rd., Ste 200B Fort Collins, CO 80526 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City staff and outside reviewing agencies have reviewed your submittal for Islamic Center of Fort Collins, and we offer the following comments: Department: Advance Planning Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Number: 1 Created: 05/11/2011 05/11/2011: The location of the control gate, or bollards, in the parking lot needs to be established so that it meets the needs of the Poudre Fire Authority for fire access, Engineering for the lost -driver turn -around, and the neighborhood, to discourage cut -through traffic. A follow-up neighborhood meeting with the homeowners on Summer Street prior to the pubic hearing is recommended so that the design and operational characteristics of the control gate can be fully explained. Number: 2 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the site plan, please add a note number 11 that describes general purpose and function of the gate/bollards in the parking lot. Number: 3 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the site plan, please add the Legal Description. Number: 4 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the site and landscape plan, please indicate the approximate height of the vertical wall and guardrail that form the north edge of the detention pond. Number: 5 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the site plan, under Land Use Statistics, Building Intensity, please indicate that the use is a 'Place of Worship" as this would be consistent with the permitted use in the H-M-N zone. Number: 6 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the site plan, either delete or describe the significance of "Qiblah." Number: 7 Created: 05/17/2011 05/17/2011: On the landscape plan, along the west edge of the west parking and the east edge of the east parking it appears that there are an insufficient number of shrubs to comply with Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping - Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b). There appear to be gaps which would not comply with the standard. Project: Islamic Center of Fort Collins Project Description: This is a request for a new mosque (praying area), children playing area, gymnasium and elementary school for the Islamic Center of Fort Collins on 3.26 acres. The project will be constructed in phases, with the mosque being Phase One, the school being Phase Two, and the gymnasium being Phase Three. Phase one will consist of a two story, 11,600 sq ft building with an approximate 6,900 sq ft unfinished basement. The main prayer hall will have a capacity of 340 persons and the mezzanine will have a capacity of 130 persons. Parking will be provided onsite and also in the existing parking lot of the Plymouth Congregational Church per a shared parking agreement, as the two congregations worship on different days (Fridays and Sundays). The building will not only represent Islamic architecture by including a dome and a minaret, but will also include an exterior in the Northern Colorado vernacular. In this respect, this building will be unique in its architecture and will add to the diverse cultural identity of Fort Collins.

This can be accomplished by either expanding the 24' access and emergency easement shown on the plan, or by creating a separate easement. Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6864, rbuffington@fcgov.com Page 7 Department: PFA Contact: Carle Dann, 970-219-5337, CDANN@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Number: 5 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: 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: L 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. 6 Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. 4 Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. 4 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. PLEASE NOTE: Make sure the EAE is either shown on the plat or if not platting, then it needs to be dedicated by separate document. Also, if you're fairly certain of the location of the east parking lot and drive aisle, you might want to dedicate it as an EAE at this time, so you won't have to do that at the time you develop Phase(s) 2and 3. 2006 International Fire Code 503.1.1, 503.2.3. 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D Number: 6 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: TURNING RADII The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside 2006 International Fire Code 503.2.4 and Appendix D103.3 Number: 7 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: GATE OPERATION PFA will require that gate operation be approved in advance.
