Page 1 of 5 10/05/2016: If meter is located in enclosed fence area that is locked, coordination will need to be done with meter shop for access approval. Meter technicians need to be able to access meter at anytime for maintenance purposes. Please contact Chad Stanley at 221-6392 Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/05/2016 10/05/2016: Is the electrical primary routing going north/south along the west side of project going to be located on the east or west side of the existing fence? If it is located on the west side of the fence, is this still within the utility easement? If it is located on east side then coordination will need to be done to relocate the large equipment being shown on Google Earth. If boring needs to be done to accomodate this equipment, this will come at an extra expense. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/05/2016 10/05/2016: Once plans are approved please provide AutoCAD drawings for Site/Utility plans in order to finalize the design. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/05/2016 10/05/2016: Please reference out Electric Service Standards (link below) to ensure metering and transformer specs are met for commercial applications.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: Please remove the cap of the tower so that the height of the structure is reduced. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: Is it possible to reduce the diameter of the proposed tower? A reduction in the diameter of the tower would create a more slim profile and would reduce the visual impact of the tower. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: The tower elevation shows the tower as being 16' in diameter while the site plan shows the tower as being 15' in diameter. Staff would prefer a tower 15' in diameter or less if possible. Please update these drawings so they are consistent with one another. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: For your hearing, please come with information about your site selection process and the need for a 70' structure. You will need to outline the reasons why co-location in this area is a challenge in order to justify the height you are seeking for this facility. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/05/2016: For Final Plan, include the City of Fort Collins standard site plan notes. I will send these to you with the comment letter. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/05/2016 10/06/2016: Also for Final Plan, please separate the planning document set from the construction/utility plan set. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/06/2016 Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: General 09/20/2016: The IMPERMEABLE AREA CALCULATIONS table has been added to the Compound Detail in the Site Plan set. a. Please move this table to the Grading Plan sheet and then move the Grading Plan sheet to the Utility Plan set. b. This table doesn’t look to include the generator pad for VZW and this looks to be 100% imperviousness so this item needs to be added to the table c. The table indicates that the “misc future compound equipment” is 159 sq ft. How do you know this? You need to show me a typical of what is going to be provided in each lease area if you’re going to include this specific square footage into your table. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/20/2016 Page 3 of 5 09/20/2016: The Grading Plans have been added to the Site Plan set. a. This plan should be re-titled “Grading and Drainage Plan” and then this sheet should be moved to the Utility Plan set. b. The Impermeable Area Calculations table should be moved to this sheet. c. As per a comment on the last round of review, the grading plan should include at a minimum: existing topography, proposed contours at 1’ intervals, spot elevations, finished floor elevations for the equipment, indication if there are swales or flow channelization of any sort, slope arrows with percentages. It looks like you still need to provide spot elevations (locations indicated on the redlines) and the finished floor elevation or finished grade elevation of the pad(s) itself. d. Also, it looks like your slope labels are incorrect so please correct these and add some additional labels. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/20/2016 09/20/2016: Drainage Memo – as per a comment on the last round of review, a drainage memo still does need to be provided. (This comment was also provided previously in the emailed redlines back to Caleb on 3/9/16.) A drainage memo should include at a minimum: a.summary description of the project; b. existing ground conditions (ground covers, direction of flow); c. proposed ground conditions (areas of added imperviousness and overall effective imperviousness); d. explanation of how the silo and most of the equipment are on platforms, thus greatly reducing the amount of imperviousness on the site; e. statement of compliance with the requirements of the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria (how you’re meeting the <1000 sf imperviousness requirement which allows this project to forego stormwater detention, water quality, and LID requirements) Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/20/2016 Topic: Site Plan 09/20/2016: There is a note on the Site Plan that says “edge of existing gravel area” which is confusing because I think the gravel continues – please either remove this note or clarify for me.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 Topic: General 10/04/2016: Can these plan sets be combined? We don't usually have a separate Utility Plan set for a Telecom site.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: There are line over text issues. See redlines.
