BOX 33695 DENVER, COLORADO 80233-0699 303-452-6111 August 31, 2004 Mr. Steve Olt City Planner City of Fort Collins 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Mr. Olt: Re: Timnath Tap Expansion Project - Fort Collins, Colorado Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. Thank you for the information that you provided during our telephone conversation last Wednesday. As you are aware, we received your Staff Project Review dated July 20, 2004, regarding Tri-State's Timnath Tap Expansion Project. Your comments and the red -lined marked plans were reviewed in Tri-State's Engineering and Land Departments. The following clarification and additional information is provided to obtain permit approval and begin construction of this much needed Project as soon as practical. As I am sure you are aware, this Project is necessitated by the substantial growth in the Fort Collins area and to further support Tri-State's Member Company, Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association. Enclosed are new drawings S1011-Al-003, rev. B and S1011-C2-002, rev. 1, which have been revised to incorporate your Staff Project Review comments. As you requested, the red -lined prints returned to Tri-State with your Staff Project Review comments are also enclosed. In addition, an additional copy of the site plan is provided for your transmittal to Larimer County Planning, as we had also discussed in your offices. The following response is provided to each your comments: 1. Topic: Architectural — Comment Number 14 — We have revised Tri-State drawing no. S1011-C2-002, rev. 1. This drawing provides the elevations of all four sides of the new control building. Also included on the drawing is a height dimension, building materials and color description of the building. This should provide a more complete description of the new control building. Subject to your approval of our application, Tri-State will be ordering the new control building from Parkline, Inc. Additional information in the form of Parkline's catalog sheets is available if required. A N FOUA1. OPPC)e'I IN- GFr11V4IIVC l fEl. it, C,YEP CRAIG STATION ESCALANTE STATION NUCLA STATION P.O.

Topic: Site Plan — Comment Number 11 — The surface material is a crushed rock surface which is shown on Section A of both the Grading Plan and Site Plan. The crushed rock surface is necessary to provide safety for electrical step potential within the substation in case there is an electrical fault. We consider this material as impervious. 3. Topic:: Site Plan — Comment Number 12 — The area around our facility is a corn field and the additional graveled area outside the fence is a buffer not to be farmed. It is also for weed control around our facility. The area outside the substation fence will also contain three wood poles and guy wires for the electrical connection of the incoming transmission line to the substation. We are aware of the 24-inch water line which runs through this area and prefer that it not be within the substation fence. ELCO Water District will continue to have unrestricted access to the water line. 4. Topic:: Site Plan — Comment Number 13 — The Vicinity Map is shown on drawing no. S1011-Al-003, rev. B. This vicinity map indicates the access road from the 1-25 Frontage Road to the substation site. 5. Topic: Site Plan — Comment Number 15 — The Fort Collins City Limits have been included as a revision on drawing no. S1011-Al-003, rev. B. As has been explained and you can see from the drawing, the city limits exclude the existing substation site. The addition to the substation is within the city. 6. Topic: Site Plan — Comment Number 16 — Same as Comment Number 13 see item No. 4. 7. Topic: General — Comment Number 6 — The plans were not submitted in accordance with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards because there are no streets involved with this Project. The access road is a gravel farm road through the farm yard, along the Larimer and Weld Canal (also known as the Eaton Ditch), to the existing transmission lines, and then to the Timnath Tap Substation. Tri-State has had an Easement for the Access Road and a Right of Way Easement for the transmission lines since 1974. A copy of the Access Easement is enclosed for your information. 8. Topic: General — Comment Number 7 — The access road is shown on drawing no. S1011-Al-003, rev. B, see Vicinity Map. Comments provided in item No. 7 above apply. Western Area Power Administration has an access agreement for the transmission line as well. 9. Topic: General — Comment Number 8 — PFA has advised that our plans are acceptable as submitted and have indicated that they would enter their approval into the computer system. A Touchstone Energy` Cooperative ��,.` Mr. Steve Olt Page 3 10. Topic: Stormwater — Comment Number 10 — The impervious area of the buil6ng and foundations is 993 sq. ft. The cable trench has an open bottom and is not considered an impervious area. No detention is required. 11. Topic: Zoning — Comment Number 2 — A copy of drawing no. S1 01 1-Al-003, rev. 13, is provided showing the city limit boundary. 12. Topic: Zoning — Comment Number 3 — This comment has been addressed on drawing no. S1011-Al -003, rev. B and in item No. 4 above. 13. Topic: Zoning — Comment Number 4 — This comment has been addressed in item No. 1 above, see drawing no. S1011-C2-002, rev. 1. 14. Topic: Zoning — Comment Number 5 — This comment may be addressed by changing the three strand barbed wire along the top of the fence to a three strand smooth wire as discussed with you recently. The existing fence around the substation has the three strand barbed wire. Drawing no. S1011- A1-004 was submitted in the initial package so the entire fence around the site would be consistent. 15. Mr. Bill Cowan, Tri-State Engineer, has been working with Susan Joy of your office to satisfy this requirement. We have indicated that the only utility is electrical service station provided within the Substation or as an external source from our member company, Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association. Should you have questions or require additional information, please let us know. You indicated that an additional Staff Review meeting would be required and we will be happy to attend to address any further questions that you or your staff may have. Please advise of the date and time at your earliest convenience. We would also appreciate your scheduling the required public meeting at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your assistance and attention to this Project. Sincerely, Jerome J.
