and economic recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service changes.Beginning Monday May
10th one additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks).Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 05/20/202105/20/2021:

Originated: 08/10/202008/09/2021: DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (DCP)I am still working to coordinate the cost estimate review with our inspections staff. It looks like there may
be some items missing, but not anything that would significantly impact the cost. The total is a little bit over the minimum amount that triggers the requirement for a DCP (without
potential added items). I am hoping that if it is close enough to the minimum, that we can eliminate the need for a DCP and just require an excavation permit for the ROW work. I will
update the applicant team once I know for sure. Spencer Smith has confirmed that only an excavation permit is required. See email from Spencer Smith sent Mon 8/23/2021 11:38 AM.05/14/2021:
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (DCP)Thank you for submitting the cost estimate. This will be reviewed by Engineering Inspections staff. If there are comments or proposed changes,

are held every Wednesday afternoon. We will need to know the date you want to meet at least 8 days in advance to be able to send out the notification. Visit the Engineering Development

Erosion ControlComment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/04/202108/04/2021: INFORMATION ONLY: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.52 was updated
to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees
are based on; the number of lots, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ
Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 1 lots, 0.23 acres of disturbance, 1 years from demo
through build out of construction and an additional 3 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $1116.04.Based on 1
landscape buffer the estimate of the LID/water Quality Stormwater Inspection Fee is $315.00Above comments are acknowledged.FOR FINAL APPROVAL: [UPDATED]Please add a construction sequence
of the Erosion control measures to the Erosion Control Plan.JVA Response: A construction sequence for the erosion control measures has been added to sheet CE1.0.Please update the City

for submitting a oneline and resubmitting the C1 form. It is unclear to me what transformer you are planning on connecting this new service to. It is also unclear to me if you have the

just need to get on the same page. Thank you

Outside AgenciesContact: Melissa Buick, Larimer Canal No 2, melissahbuick@gmail.com, Topic: GeneralComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/13/202006/01/2021: The concerns
are that the plat shows an easement that the ditch company has not agreed to. The easement remains at 25 feet from the top of the bank until such time as an Easement Agreement can be
finalized. We requested the surveyed easement be staked out in order for our ditch superintendent to make sure he will have enough area for sufficient access. Also the drainage report
states that they are discharging into the ditch but does not indicate the amount of stormwater discharging into the ditch. I have reached out to our legal counsel to see if a discharge
agreement will also be necessary. Applicant has provided fees to the ditch company for the easement agreement but we will not move forward with that until the plans have been approved
and the discharge matter is concluded. 08/13/2020: Larimer County Canal No. 2 Irrigating Company ("Company") is concerned with the plans for the development of 3516 S. Mason and submits
for following comments:The Company needs to have unobstructed access to the ditch and ditch easement in order to operate and maintain the ditch for the delivery of water to its shareholders.
The plans on the east side of the development, as they currently exist, encroach and obstruct the ditch and the ditch easement. Specifically, the stairs and guard for the public access
on the east side of the building, the trash enclosure, landing, portions of the concrete planter, Native Garden, part of the loading zone as well as the seeding and landscaping are all
located within the ditch easement. There can be no obstruction to the ditch and ditch easement including any seeding and/or landscaping within the ditch or ditch easement. Additional
concerns are, public access through the ditch easement and that the ditch and ditch easement remain free of trash and construction debris. In order to avoid disruptions to current ditch
operations we request the landowner keeps us informed as they prepare to move forward with their plans for the project. This will permit the Company’s ditch superintendent to work with
the landowner to ensure that any project will not adversely impact the ditch, ditch easement or ditch operations accordingly.Plat and plans have been revised in response to comments
from and as per discussions with ditch company.
