This is reflected on the new Utility Plan. 2. Private hydrant. It is understood that the new fire hydrant is to be considered a private service due to the length of the service from the main.

This has been provided with the curb break and grading of the curb line to direct the street water onto the site approximately 11' from the east end of the property. This water then flows north on the east side of Building — 3 and into the Rain Garden between Buildings — 3 and 14. Pre-treatment of this storm water occurs in this Rain Garden prior to the waters release to the east detention point and then to Arthur's Ditch. Pretreatment also is provided after the water enters the site at Vine Drive through a grass swale of approximately 220 feet prior to the water entering the Rain Garden. 4. Flood Plain.

These operations have become tech savvy where you can pick your unit, pay for the storage space, and gain access with your computer or phone without needing to interface with on -site employees. This business is becoming less labor intensive. A project I did several years ago in Loveland is 100% automated and is typically 95% occupied. The only thing the owners do is check their back account. 5. Shields access and west access on Vine. The access from Shields has been eliminated. The west access on Vine Drive is an emergency access and is gated at all times. No public access happens at this point. It is also a legal access for Verizon and is one of the reasons it is maintained. 6. Grass Crete. Grass Crete has been eliminated from the site. 7. Fencing along R.O.W. We have provided the fencing along Vine as per the Standards. Adjacent to Shields we have the fence removed from the buildings due to neighborhood conditions and that if we use the buildings as the fencing the building become a target for graffiti which will be a continual maintenance problem and an eye sore for the Community. We have off -set he fence to two plains to meet the intent of the code. Since the fence is metal it appears nearly transparent for travelers on Shields and does not appear as a visual wall. 8. Site Fencing. The fencing for the site is as follows: South — A combination of metal 6' high fencing and gates and the south elevations of the storage buildings. West: A continuous metal 6' high fence that is off -set to provide two visual lines. The buildings are east of the fence line. North: a continuous 6' high wood cedar fence is provided on the property line. This property line is approximately 45 degrees of the cardinal directions.

This is provided to continue a neighborhood character. 9. Plat name. The Plat has been titled to reflect the replat of the Snyder Minor Subdivision and the addition of unplatted property. 10.

Narrative has been revised to reflect that there is no outdoor storage and that all storage will be within buildings. 2. Simplify Plans. We have consolidated the Site Plan and the Dimension Plan into one. We have eliminated extra information that may appear confusing. We have eliminated the Existing Conditions Plan, but have added a Tree Inventory Plan that was compiled with the Forestry Department. PVA has a list of 11 comments above that need to be documented somewhere. They asked that we add significant information to the Plans and so we are continuing to have an Emergency Access Plan. 13. Provide additional information as to the plan and profile of Vine Drive. Additional information as requested is provided. A curb chase has been added approximately I from the east end of the property. The curb line on this north side of the street slopes to this point from both west and east. This allows the collection of street water to flow through the site, through rain gardens for filtering prior to entering the site detention and release into Authur s Ditch. 14. Create easement for drainage and emergency access. Easement for drainage and emergency access are shown on the plans and the Plat. New easements are shown on the plans as well as on the Plat. 15.
