Page 1 Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric Number: 16 Created: 4/2/2003 Light & Power will need to know site dimensions, including area and length of property line along Centre Ave. (street frontage). RESPONSE: The property is 80,360 square feet, and the property line along Centre Ave. is 135.5 feet. Number:31 Created: 4/16/2003 Development of this site will initiate Light & Power development charges. In order to determine these charges, Light & Power will need to know site dimensions (both square footage and front footage along Centre Avenue). RESPONSE: The site is 80,360 square feet. The property line along Centre Ave. is 135.5 feet. Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: General Number: 29 Created: 4/23/2003 The Natural Resources has data from past projects in the area that conclude that ditch that runs between the proposed course parking lot and the course serves as a wildlife movement corridor which the Fort Collins Land Use Code (3.4.1(E)) would protect with a 50' Natural Habitat and Features Buffer Zone. Due to the wildlife movement around this ditch lighting of the project should be dealt with in a sensitive manner. The security lighting located along the fencing should be design to light as minimally as possible. Lighting at the gates should light only the gates and be directed in toward the course. Lighting along the fencing on the north side should be relocated closer to the course and light only the course. The project should also be design so that pinch points for wildlife movement don't occur limiting movement between parking and fencing. Fencing should not also limit wildlife movement between the ditch and Spring Creek with also serves as a wildlife movement corridor (3.4.1(F(2,�. RESPONSE: The ropes course has been specifically designed with minimal security lighting. The course will not be operated in night-time conditions. All lighting will be focused toward the interior of the course in order to minimize Pa,,e 2 exterior impacts. Access between parking and the ropes course will not be inhibited and will not restrict wildlife movement along the ditch. Perimeter fencing will not encroach on the ditch and will not limit wildlife access to Spring Creek. Number: 30 Created: 4/23/2003 If bridge construction results in the disturbance of wetlands the disturbance should be restored. RESPONSE: Construction of the bridge will not occur in a wetland area, and any disturbances resulting from construction will be restored. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 25 Created: 4/18/2003 Is any grading being proposed? A grading plan is required if any grading is to be done. Also, no fill is allowed in the floodplain. RESPONSE: CSU does not plan to alter the current grades. Minor grade changes may be required for accessibility between the pedestrian bridge and the ropes course . Existing vegetation on the course will be removed and replaced with native grasses. Number: 26 Created: 4/18/2003 Irrigation approval is required on the plans for any improvements, like the bridge, in the ditch easement or right-of-way. RESPONSE: C5U will provide plans for irrigation and the bridge. CSU will also obtain a crossing agreement from the ditch company for the bridge. Number: 27 Created: 4/18/2003 No bathroom, or any habitable structure, can be located in the floodplain/floodway. RESPONSE: Restroom facilities have been deleted from the project. CSU does not plan on constructing any habitable structure in the f loodplai n/f loodway. Page 3 Number: 28 Created: 4/21/2003 A floodplain use permit is required for this site before any construction takes place. RESPONSE: CSU will obtain a floodplain use permit from the City.
