If the additional flow capacity is needed, Water Utilities is receptive to sharing in the cost of the improvements. Fort Collins PFA Fire Prevention Bureau Administrative Policy 07-01 9. IDENTIFICATION OF FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT - Fire protection equipment shall be identified in an approved manner. Rooms containing controls for air-conditioning systems, electrical rooms, sprinkler risers and valves, or other fire detection, suppression or control elements shall be identified for the use of the fire department. 2006 International Fire Code 510.1 STORMWATER Glen Schlueter, (970)221.6065, aschlueter(a)fcgov.com 1. The project submittal requirements and fee calculations are based upon the amount of new impervious area on the site; therefore, it is important to document all existing and proposed impervious area on an exhibit. In the Old Town drainage basin, a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. These must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. 2. If there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 5000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading plan is all that is required. 3. The site drains to the Udall Natural Area which provides water quality treatment. Onsite water quality treatment as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs) is also encouraged. 4. The closest storm sewer is at the northwest comer of Meldrum and Olive Streets. 5. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. 6. The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. UTILITIES Justin Fields, (970)224.6150, ifieldsofcgov.com 1. The applicant is responsible for any necessary capacity and system modification charges. 2. We will need a C-1 form and a one line diagram. 3. Should the transformer need to be relocated the new location will need to be approved by light and power. WASTEWATER Roger Buffington, (970)221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. Existing mains: 4-inch water main and 6-inch sanitary sewer in Meldrum; 8-inch sanitary sewer in N/S alley to. the west. 2. The existing water service to the property is a 2-inch with the meter in a meter pit east of building. 3. The existing sewer service appears to go to the alley. A dye test would be needed to confirm the location of the service tap. 4. The proposed three-story building will likely need a fire line. The 4-inch main in Meldrum may not have adequate capacity for fire fighting purposes. It is suggested that PFA be contacted to see if 5 Fort Collins is less than the standard, you are welcome to submit a variance request for review and consideration. Also, since there is parking along Meldrum, the "extra" distance between flowline and travel lane will be taken into consideration.

Green building has become a standard for new development in Fort Collins. The city has a Green Building website (http://www.fcgov.com/greenbuildino that will be beneficial to your project during the design and construction of the property. In particular, the following program may help with designing an energy efficient addition: http://www.fcgov.com/conservation/biz-idap.PhD. 2. The Integrated Design Assistance program (IDAP) managed by Gary Schroeder — 970-221-6395, has the potential to help with providing assistance with evaluation energy conservation options. 3. Deconstruction versus demolition of the existing structure to accommodate any addition is highly recommended. Reducing the amount of waste going to the landfills is of importance to the City. Please contact Rosemarie Russo (970-416-2327) to find out more about programs that may benefit your project. The following businesses are available to talk to you about the deconstruction process.

If this is the case, then the Historic Preservation staff would review the project to confirm that the new construction "is designed to respect the historic character of the site and any historic properties in the surrounding neighborhood." Items that would be considered, in part, include the amount of set back between the new construction and the historic building, the height, width and massing of the new construction relative to the historic buildings, and the potential impact of the materials and other significant design features. 4. As discussed at the conceptual review, mitigating aspects will include the relative taller height of the Lunn building compared to many historic properties, and the existing mature landscape features. 5. Preservation staff requested to be involved as early in your planning process as possible, ideally as soon as you have some conceptual site and massing plans. Staff would welcome the opportunity to sit down with you at any time, and answer any questions you may have.

Karen McWilliams sat in for Preservation Planner Pam Opiela, who will be the Historic Preservation Planner for the project. 2. This project is located adjacent to a property at 205 S. Meldrum, the Lunn Property, which has been preliminarily evaluated as Individually Eligible for landmark designation; the property also backs to several historic residential properties on S. Sherwood Street, whose eligibility has not yet been determined. While a formal Determination of Eligibility has not yet occurred for these various properties, staffs comments are made with the assumption that at least one of these properties (the Lunn property), and possibly others, are likely to be determined to qualify for Individual Designation and that Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code would apply. ,arof t` Collins July 28, 2009 Stuart MacMillan Everitt MacMillan Commercial 3003 E Harmony Rd, Suite 400 Fort Collins, CO 80528 Don Bundy The Architects' Studio 151 W Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Stuart and Don, Current Planning 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax kgov. com/currenfplanning Attached, please see a copy of Staffs comments concerning the request referred to as 209 Meldrum — Otter Products Corporate Headquarters, which was presented before the Conceptual Review Team on July 20, 2009.
