ITEM: 903 Buckingham — Colorado Iron and Metal
MEETING DATE: April 14, 2008
APPLICANT: Troy Jones
MTA Planning & Architecture
171 North College Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80524
LAND USE DATA: Request for 3 separate and distinct phases: Phase 1 would be to change
the use of the existing industrial building at 903 Buckingham to light industrial without any
proposed site changes. Phase 2 would be a lot line adjustment. Phase 3 would be a PDP to move
the outdoor activities of the Colorado Iron & Metal currently on East Mulberry to the site. The
property is within the City of Fort Collins and is zoned I —Industrial District. The following
departmental agencies have offered comments for this proposal.

1. Permitted Uses: Light industrial recycling and outdoor storage are permitted uses in the (—
Industrial district subject to a Type I (Administrative) Review. Phase I could be done as a
minor amendment, but staff recommends that you seek approval for all three phases as a
Type I review at the outset. If you choose to seek minor amendment approval for Phase I
only, you run the risk that Phase II and II I may not be approved.
Response: Phase 1 and 2 have already been accomplished. Phase 3 is this PDP, which is
for the site and building reconfigurations and upgrades necessary for the metal recycling
business.
2. The gravel base shown on the west of the site must be asphalt unless it meets one of the
criteria for an exception as listed in definition of "off-street parking area" in Section 5.1.2. If
this is not possible, you may request a modification of standards.
Response: We have revised the proposed site plan, and now all vehicular use areas are
proposed to be paved.

[10/12/09] Repeat at final will need to provide phasing plans showing what is to be built,
graded and installed with each phase.
Response: Acknowledged.
Number: 26 Created: 5/12/2009
[10/12/09] Need to show how the grading at the SW corner of the site will tie back into
existing grades. It appears that off -site grading or construction easements will be needed.
Letters of intent to grant these easements will need to be provided prior to the project being
scheduled for hearing.
Response: Acknowledged. An LOI for this offsite grading is being submitted.
Number: 28 Created: 5/12/2009
[10/12/09] Thanks for the reply —This design needs to be shown at minimum grades or at
least close. The design you have shown would likely never be built due to the 1.5 — 2 foot
drop in the centerline of the road. It is doubtful that the road section could drop this much
without the waterline needing to be lowered. So it is very doubtful that the road would ever
be rebuilt with the design you have shown. If you are going to show a possible future profile
it needs to be something that might occur. A profile following minimum grades is something
that would likely be built.
Response: The south side ties into the existing curb/gutter on the east end of the project at
station 24+82.36, and terminates in a transition/taper on the west end. Both of these tie into
existing well.
Number: 30 Created: 5/12/2009

Number: 51 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/12/09] The site plan shows that there is a desire to place a 12 foot high wall over the 30
foot wide utility easement that runs adjacent to the building. This is a problem. A 12 foot
high wall is considered a structure and will require a building permit — a building permit is not
Page 3
suppose to be issued for anything in an easement. The utilities will probably have an issue
with this wall over their lines and the footings adjacent to the lines.
Response: We have specified wrought iron fencing instead of the wall where it crosses the
easement.
Number: 53 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/121091 The building square footages have changed since the last review. The
application fees (TDRF) increased due to the increase in the size of the buildings. The
project owes an additional $349. This can be paid at the time of final submittal with the final
submittal fees.
Response: We will pay this difference at final as requested.
Number: 54 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/12/09] Agate at the south end of the property to accommodate the access easement
through the site needs to be provided. This connection goes through the detention pond —
how is the access to be maintained across the pond? Is this access still needed? If not will
need something from the adjacent property owners identifying they no longer need it and
verification from PFA that they no longer need it.
Response: The pond has been removed from this area of the site, and the proposed access
is very similar to the existing access. We are maintaining an emergency access to the south
on general principal.
Number: 55 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/12/09] It looks like the existing fire hydrant and the widened driveway are too close
together.
Response: We are now showing this existing valve and fire hydrant to be relocated towards
the south.
Number: 56 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/12/09] An off -site easement for the storm pipe is needed with this design. A letter of
intent from the off -site property owner(s) is needed prior to being able to schedule this
project for hearing.
Response: Please see the submitted letter of intent for this easement.
Number: 57 Created: 10/12/2009
[10/12/09] Add some notes to Buckingham plan and profile sheet. Identify the location of
the curb openings to be built with this project. Label the locations of future curb inlets or
curb openings. Label at which station curb and gutter is to start.
Response: Acknowledged.

[10/12/09] What are you intending to build on the N side of the road? Need to show what
grading will occur to accommodate these planed improvements.

Number: 48 Created: 5/15/2009
[10/16/09] Half of Buckingham street along this sites frontage that will still drain to the off -
site existing detention pond needs to be detained as well. Does the existing pond account
for these flows? Please provide documentation if so.
Response: Detention for half of Buckingham is provide in our proposed pond
Number: 69 Created: 10/16/2009
[10/16/091 The east detention pond is also a metal scrap stock pile area. This stock pile will
take up volume as well as be a water quality concern. This issue needs to be discussed
further and a solution agreed upon before the public hearing.
Response: The material stockpiled in this area is scrap metal, most of which is iron or steel.
If this stockpile were located elsewhere, it would still drain to a detention/water quality pond,
so the location of the stockpile may be irre. In this case, the eastern detention area is higher
in elevation than the western area. This will cause rust to collect in the western area, where
is will stay put until maintenance is performed.
Number: 70 Created: 10/16/2009
[10/16/09] The outfall for this site is proposed to drain into the Lincoln Channel. Larimer
County needs to approve this outfall location. The County owns and maintains this channel.
Response: Acknowledged.
Number: 71 Created: 10/16/2009
[10/16/09] Please provide documentation to back up the 20% reduction in volume and
reduced drainage easement for the existing detention pond.
Response: The drainage area to the existing pond is 14.75. The drainage basin to the new
detention pond is 3.15 acres. This represents a reduction of approximately 21 %. Wording
to this effect has been added to the Drainage Report.
Number: 72 Created: 10/16/2009
[10/16/09] The slope of the detention pond bottom should be 2% or .5% with a drainage
pan.
Response: Acknowledged. We hope to make a 2% slope work. If 2% cannot be made to
work at final, a pan will be shown at that time.
Number: 73 Created: 10/16/2009
[10/16/09] The City's standard water quality outlet structure needs to be incorporated into
the design.
Page 7
Response: We are proposing that the outlet structure be inside Inlet A4. This may be a little
usual, but we feel there is enough room to put the outlet structure in this inlet. This will allow
a single outlet structure to control both detention areas. This will also force the water quality
volume into the western detention area. Please note that this area is lower than the
detention area towards the east. This will allow contaminants such as rust to be collected in
the western detention area.

[10/8/09] Based on narrative in follow-up letter regarding parking maximum's please submit
alternative compliance request. Parking is based on the principle use which is industrial and
fabrication and recycling fall under the "industrial" use category.
Response: The "use" is a combination of Light Industrial Metal Fabrication, Recycling
Facility, and Office Uses. It is very different from pure "Industrial," in that there are not only
employees but also a fair amount of customers that need to be accommodated with parking.
Therefore, the most similar use listed in the table in Section 3.2.2(K)(2)(a) is "Low Intensity
Retail, Repair Service, Workshop and Custom Small Industry", which account for both
industrial type workers, and the low intensity customer type traffic that would be generated
with both the metal fabrication and recycling customers. This would limit us to no more than
2 parking spaces per 1000 square feet. The PDP has 37,050 square foot of building area,
therefore our maximum number of parking spaces is 74. We are only proposing 69 spaces,
therefore we comply with the standard.
Number: 3 Created: 4/30/2009
[10/8/09] Of those HC spaces, one needs to be van accessible with an overall width of 16'
and signed as "Van Accessible"
Response: See revised plans.

drainage easement does not exist to tie these two sites together. A prior plan seemed to
indicate that an easement existed, but I didn't find a record of it in our files. If it exists please
provide a copy of the recorded document. If it doesn't exist an off -site drainage easement(s)
will need to be dedicated and a letter or letters of intent from the adjacent property(ies) will

[10/12/09] Repeat — I included copies of the prior plat of this site and the plat for the New
Belgium site to the north.
[5/12/091 The plat indicates that there is 58 feet of existing row on Buckingham Street.
From prior plats and that dedicated by separate document last fall I calculate that it is 76
feet in width.

ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Emma McArdle
Topic: General
Number:34 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Is this property under single ownership? If multiple owners please provide information on each.
Response: The entire property is owned by GTG Investments. The ownership is a bit confusing because
there were two lot -line adjustments that were done recently. Peter Barnes was involved in the review of the
lot -line adjustments. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Number:35 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] When do you expect facilities to be up and running?
Response: The offices and fabrication shop are already up and running. These uses were approved by a
minor amendment about 9 months ago. This PDP proposes site improvements to bring the outdoor uses of
the Colorado Iron & Metal business to the site. The construction will be in 2 phases, as shown on the site
plan. The first phase will commence immediately after the final compliance approval. The timing of the
construction of the second phase depends on market conditions, but will most likely be within 3 years.
Number:39 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Is recycling done on site? Are the Roll -offs for the public to bring recycling?
Response: Recycling is collected on -site and bailed into bulk loads and shipped to Denver. The intent is
that the roll -offs are available for public recycling drop-offs, and are reflected in the traffic study. Note the
roll -offs will be in the construction phase 2.
Number:40 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Is the north parking lot for employees, customers, all? Or will west parking be maintained for
employees? Please make clear on plans what the plan is, reference note.
Response: All parking areas are for all users, including employees and customers. Note that there is no
longer any "temporary" parking being proposed. All proposed parking is permanent, however some is
proposed in the first construction phase, and some is proposed in the second construction phase.
Number: 50 Created: 5/13/2009
[5/13/09] The proposed additions to the existing building will enhance the character of the building.
Response: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Topic: Landscaping
Number:37 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Please address the following issues on the Landscape Plan:
Are there any trees to be removed?
Response: Yes. There are a few trees being removed. See the sheet 4 of 9 of the resubmittal called the
"Existing Tree Plan".
Hard to decipher sidewalk, label or use fill.
Response: See revised submittal.
Full stocking of trees not met in front of Building 2. Recycling Roll-ons in place of potential landscaping,
may need mod. of standard.
Response: Please see the revised landscape plan.
There is a fence and gate shown, what type please describe.
Response: Please see the new fence and gate details on sheet 5 of 9, the "Fencing Plan".
Parking lot perimeter trees and street trees are not adequate, there needs to be shrubs and trees between
sidewalk and parking lot. There are too many street trees, street lights are not shown, street canopy/shade
trees need to be 40' from street lights.
Response: Please see revised landscape plans.
Landscape islands shall have a shade tree with at least 80 s.f. of ground to support.
Response: Please see revised landscape plans.
Is there fencing along the sides and rear of the property?
Response: Yes. Please see sheet 5 of 9, the "Fencing Plan".
Show existing street lights
Response: Street lights are now shown.
Show where bike parking is.
Response: The bike parking is now shown near the northwest corner of building #1..
Is the walk through the parking lot raised?
Response: We hadn't intended it to be raised, unless it is required to be, which we are thinking it is not. Let
us know if we are mistaken.
Please label existing trash enclosure. Will this still be used?
Response: Please see the resubmittal. Yes, the existing trash enclosure is intended to be used, however it
will be moved.
Topic: Lighting Plan
Number:38 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Where are the existing street lights?
Is there no lighting at the north entrance?
Response: Street lights are now shown on the revised submittal. See the revised lighting plan.
Topic: Planning Objectives
Number:33 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/09] Please provide a short summary paragraph of what you are proposing. Explain the uses please.
Response: The outdoor industrial yard has the uses of "Heavy Industrial", and "Recycling Facility". The
big building's uses are "Light Industrial (Metal Fabrication)", "Recycling Facilities", and "Offices."
Building 2 (as named on the site plan) has a use of "Recycling Facility". Building 3 is partially a machine
shop which is an accessory use to the Heavy Industrial and Recycle Facilit, and partially a use of
"Recycling Facility".

Topic: Site Plan
Number:36 Created:5/13/2009 Pending
[5/13/091 Please add the following to the Site Plan:
North Arrow on Vicinity and Site Plan
Percentage and square footage of driveway and parking
Percentage and square footage of landscaped area
Show # of spaces and decipher handicap
Where is bicycle parking?
Please label existing and proposed s.f. on footprint
Show some context, what is beyond these boundaries (150')
What is the proposed treatment of the perimeter, fencing?
Please label land uses, heavy ind, recycling...
What are Recycling Roll-ons?
What is happening with the temporary parking spaces on the west side of the building?
Response: See the revised submittal for answers to most of these questions. Recycling Roll -offs are the
same type of containers that the City uses for public recycling drop-offs. They are called roll -offs because
the truck that picks them up is a flat bed truck that has a hydrolic tilting bed that the container rolls onto and
off of when loading and unloading the container from the truck. We are no longer proposing any temporary
parking.

Response: Acknowledged.
Number:27 Created:5/12/2009 Pending
[5/12/091 This project is shown tying into an existing detention pond to the south and east of the site. Fron-
what I could find on the existing plats and documents that we have on file a drainage easement does not
exist to tie these two sites together. A prior plan seemed to indicate that an easement existed, but I didn't
find a record of it in our files. If it exists please provide a copy of the recorded document. If it doesn't exist
an off -site drainage easement(s) will need to be dedicated and a letter or letters of intent from the adjacent
property(ies) will be needed prior to being able to schedule the hearing.
Response: This easement was shown on the construction drawings for the adjacent property, but for some
reason was not included on the plat. This easement was later provided by separate instrument.
Number:28 Created:5/12/2009 Pending
[5/12/09] For the south profile to the east of the site. What is being shown? It looks as if you are tying into
the existing curb and gutter in the plan view, but the profile appears to be all new and not matching the
existing grade.
Response: The east end of the interim street improvement ties in to the right (south) existing flowline/curb
and gutter in plan view. The profile also ties in at this point. Towards the east, past the interim
improvements, the ultimate flowline diverges from existing because the existing flowline profile in this area
does not meet the minimum slope requirement.
This design will allow for both a tie to existing or future reconstruction of this portion of the street to meet
current minimum standards. Should this section of street be built in the future, the designer would have the
choice of either using a design that meets current standards, or asking for a variance from the minimum
slope requirement. Our proposed design will allow either case.

[5/12/09] The parking spaces on the east side of the property straddling the property line are not currently
shown existing or to be constructed on the utility plans. To construct these, a construction easement will be
needed from the adjacent property owner. You might also want an easement or agreement with them
regarding the use of the spaces.
Response: They are no longer proposed to be parking spaces. They are intended to remain the same as
the existing condition, which is loading and unloading zones used by both properties.

Number:42 Created:5/14/2009 Pending
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 (30 feet on at
least one long side of the building when the structures are 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: Please contact me to determine specific EAE
location.

4. Buckingham is classified as a minor collector. The total right-of-way dedication needed for
a minor collector is 76 feet. You will be responsible for dedicating half of the right-of-way,
or 38 feet, plus a 9 foot utility easement behind the right-of-way.
Response: The additional ROW was dedicated through separate instrument as part of
phase 1, which has been completed.
5. Any damaged sidewalk, gutter or curb will need to be repaired or replaced. Damaged curb,
gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and
gutters destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be
replaced or restored in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of
completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
Response: Acknowledged.
6. Utility plans, a Development Agreement (DA), and a Development Construction Permit
(DCP) will need to be prepared for this project. A plat is not required but may make sense
depending on how many easement dedications you need to make. Each dedication by
separate document has a fee whereas all easements are included in the plat fee.
Response: A plat is included in the submittal.
7. Any public improvements must be made according to Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards.
Response: Acknowledged.
8. You will need to fill in the sidewalks where they are discontinuous along your frontage. Any
new sidewalks must be designed to meet current standards including a detached profile
and to the proper width. If the existing sidewalk is not wide enough to meet ADA standards
or if it is in poor repair, you will be required to repair, widen or replace it altogether.
Response: Acknowledged.
9. The previous owner was required to post a bond for frontage improvements. The City no
longer collects bonds. The developer will need to design and build frontage improvements
and provide preliminary off -site design to tie into the church site to the east.
Response: Acknowledged.
10. You will need to provide some length of concrete or asphalt at the most westerly drive
approach to prevent drag out from the site out to the road if you are successful in your

Number:45 Created:5/15/2009 Pending
[5/15/091 Retention ponds are only allowed after all other options for detention have been exhausted.
There is still the option of expanding the existing detention pond, which detains the existing site. Also,
groundwater in this area is most likely higher than the 12-foot deep proposed retention pond, which would
make this pond not feasible. In general, retention ponds need to still have an outfall. This could be
percolation only if a soils report confirmed acceptable percolation rates. A backup option would also be
required, like a gravity or pumped delayed release to an irrigation ditch.
Response: The retention pond has been changed to a detention pond with a discharge pipe. Please see
the revised drainage plan and report.
Number:46 Created:5/15/2009 Pending
[5/15/09] Drainage easements are required for all ponds and other drainage improvements. The proposed
drainage pan along the east side of the property would need a drainage easement for the on -site and off -

easements. Please see the revised plat.

[5/15/09] All detention calculations need to include half of Buckingham Street along the site's frontage.
Response: The western portion of Buckingham drains to the new detention pond. The eastern portion
drains through existing drainage systems to the existing pond located behind the building to the east. This
pond was designed for the entire project site, so the drainage basin for the existing pond will be
substantially reduced with the project.

Number:1 Created:4/30/2009 Pending
[4/30/09] Parking. The maximum number of parking spaces is based on the number of total employees.
63 proposed spaces exceeds what is allowed. If you are seeking "alternative compliance", please review
section 3.2.2(K)(3) for the process to request alternative compliance
Response: Note that the maximum parking of .75 spaces per employee refers only to industrial employees
and is silent on the recycling customers. Because it is silent on a maximum for recycling facilities, we
assume there is no maximum for that portion of the project. Also, the parking code is silent regarding
customer parking for the fabrication portion of the business, which also need quite a few parking spaces.
Our assumption is that this interpretation avoids the need for alternative compliance, however if City staff
disagrees, we can provide an alternative compliance request to take to hearing.

Sheri,
Understood. Our intent will be to proceed without proposing any construction work on that property to the east, with the
understanding that the PDP grants no right to use the paved area on that neighbor's property. The only off -site
improvements will be on the property to the south and the property to the west, both of which we have obtained letters
of intent.

The change in note is fine. The applicant just needs to understand that if access easements do not exist on the neighboring
property than this property has no right to use that pavement even if they have access to it. And placing a note on these
plans indicating it is shared use does not make it a shared use area without the consent of the neighbor.
No paving or other construction work will be allowed outside the boundaries of this plat, so if paving or construction work is
shown or is needed the applicant will at least need to get a construction easement.

Sheri,
Regarding note 17 on our PDP general notes which states, "17, THE EXISTINU C❑NDITI❑N HAS PAVED
PARKINCI AREAS THAT STRADDLE THE EASTERN PR❑PERTY LINE. AND ARE HAVE SHARED
ACCESS WITH THE ADJACENT PR❑PERTY, THEREE❑RE IS THERE IS N❑ APPLICABLE SIDE L❑T
LINE SETBACK BETWEEN THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE VEHICULAR USE AREA,", on your redlines,
you commented "easements in place for this?"
We want to avoid the need to get this easement. We would like to change the term "paved parking areas" in the note to
say "paved vehicular use areas". The existing condition is that the pavement straddles the property line. There's no
existing easement in place regarding the shared nature of the paved area, however this shared paving exists primarily to
provide the neighboring property access to their dust collectors. We are dedicating an access easement on our plat that
will allow this neighbor access to his dust collectors. Except for the occasional wide truck turns, that may encroach on the
neighbors property, we are not specifically intending to use this paved area beyond our site boundary. We can
accommodate our wide turns on our property if we need to, so we feel we do not need an easement in this case. Do you
agree?

Topic: Fencing
Number: 93 Created: 4/6/2010
[4/6/10] Please see the redlined Fencing Plan. There are several things that I need
clarification on:
-Darken line weight of fencing; there is barely a difference in some places,
- What is happening along the east property line? Is there fencing?
-Either label something's or take them off this plan completely, the grayed out items should
only be the basics.
RESPONSE: Please see the revised fencing plan. There is no fence existing or proposed
along most of the east property line, except there is an existing chain link fence on the
southerly 155 feet of the east property line, which will remain.

FIRE SPRINKLERS: Poudre Fire Authority fire -sprinkler requirements are based on type of
occupancy, type of construction and size of the structure. I will need information specifying
whether welding occurs within the structure(s); what type of hazardous materials are used
or stored inside or outside; and whether these amounts of hazardous materials exceed the
Maximum Allowable Quantities. (This is what determines type of occupancy.) The PFA
database shows 903 Buckingham St. as having a fire sprinkler system; however, it needs to
be determined if this system is adequate for the type of occupancy/occupancies that
Colorado Iron and Metal Works would be.
Response: Acknowledged.
2. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Toxic, corrosive, or reactive materials, or
flammable/combustible liquids (as defined in the Uniform Fire Code) if used, stored, or
handled on site, must have a Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis (HMIA) completed and
supplied to the Planning Department and the Fire Department. (What do you have? How
much? How do you prevent it from being a public threat?) FCLUC3.4.5
Response: Please see the attached HMIA.
3. 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, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not farther 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 farther 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 farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter.
Response: Acknowledged.
4. WATER SUPPLY: These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with
automatic fire sprinkler systems. 97UFC 901.2.2.2
Response: The existing building is equipped with automatic fire sprinklers.
5. 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 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 (from a
public street) around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall:
• 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.

P-15112109] A striping plan will need to be submitted with the final plans.
RESPONSE: A Signing and Striping Plan is provided for the ultimate and interim conditions.
The ultimate striping is very close to the locations of the existing striping, therefore the
interim striping plan calls for simply replacing the striping removed with construction. This
will avoid any short lane transitions and maintain a consistent striping condition along
Buckingham.

-Either label something or take them off this plan completely, the grayed out items should

Response: The intent is that the neighboring property owner will be offered the opportunity to
tie into the fencing scheme, however it is intended that that property owner seek his own
building permits for such fencing. If that property owner chooses not to tie in, our intent is to
bring our portion of the fence to the property line. We were told in an earlier submittal that if
we show the fence on the neighbor's property, we would need to get an easement in order to
do so. Rather than that, we'd like to just leave the fence to the neighbor to decide whether or
not he wants to tie in.

Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6065, aschlueter(uD-fcgov.com
The applicant indicated that the move to this location would be phased. If there are areas
to be paved that will increase the imperviousness area greater than 1000 square feet, a
drainage and erosion control report and construction plans would then be required and
must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. Only a grading plan
is required when there is between 1000 and 350 square feet of new imperviousness. There
are no requirements for less than 350 square feet.
Response: Please see the submitted drainage and erosion control report.
2. Should there need to be a detention area, the two-year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre
in the Dry Creek basin. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban
Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment, but all BMPs
are encouraged in addition to the extended detention. The detention areas need to contain
enough volume for runoff from the impervious areas so using the area for scrap metal pile
would take up that volume. The pond could be oversized to accommodate the scrap metal,
but that would be a hard thing to judge of when the pile is too big. If extended detention is
to be used for water quality treatment, it can be included in a water quantity pond but
should be separate from any scrap metal pile if the plan is to use the pond for scrap metal
storage. Separate water quality treatment can be provided onsite or the outlet to the
existing pond to the southeast could be modified to treat the runoff; however, the water
quality capture volume would need to include all the area draining into the larger pond.
The applicant's engineer needs to check the drainage reports for Van Works to verify where
detention is being provided and the outfall for the system.
Response: Acknowledged.
3. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek Master
Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.

Sec. 2.5.2(H)
Response: I checked article 5 of the Fort Collins Land Use Code, and the term "consistent' is not defined.
Dictionary.com defines the term as follows:
con•sist•ent
adjective /ken sistent/
1. (of a person, behavior, or process) Unchanging in achievement or effect over a period of time
- manufacturing processes require a consistent approach
2. Compatible or in agreement with something
- the injuries are consistent with falling from a great height
3. (of an argument or set of ideas) Not containing any logical contradictions
- a consistent explanation
The proposed location of the proposed building moved, however both locations are in the rear yard of a
large industrial complex. There is no change in character, or substantial change or effect, nor do there
appear to be any logical contradictions as a result of the different location. I suggest that the new location is
therefore consistent with the PDP approval.

is unfunded and development continues to be proposed in the area it causes the need for
City transportation staff to debate the issue with each new development proposal. The
debate is whether it is appropriate to require typical improvements at the
Lemay/Buckinham intersection. Per Figure 8-1 of LCUASS a left turn lane is required on
Lemay at Buckingham and since this development's traffic will impact that intersection it
would have the responsibility to construct the north bound left turn lane. The Church
proposed near the intersection had the responsibility placed on it when it was in the City
development process. The Church has yet to be constructed and as such I feel I'm left
with no alternative than to require the same responsibility from this project. This item will
be discussed at our next Transportation Coordination meeting. Until the requirement is
removed, LCUASS requires a north bound left turn lane at Lemay/Buckingham and would
be this projects responsibility to provide.

Number: 79 Created: 10/22/2009
[10/22/09) The tall fencing is warranted for buffering. The 10' fence along the west side of
the lot extending from the building front to the front of the lot needs to meet code
requirements though. Section 3.8.11 C states that "fences or walls shall be no more than 4'
high between the front building line and front property line." A modification of standard
would be required for the 10' fencing, with justification meeting the criteria set forth in 2.8.2
or the fence needs to meet standards.
Response: We are going to hearing on March 24th for this modification request as part of the
minor amendment application. If approved, the 10 foot fence will be an existing condition at
such time that the PDP is approved, and as such, we assume the minor amendment's
