file naming standards_v1_8 1 19.pdf?1566857888. File names should begin with the file type, followed by the project information, and round number. Example: UTILITY PLANS_PROJECT NAME_PDP_Rd2.pdfFile
type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names. Example: TIS for Traffic Impact Study, ECS for Ecological Characterization Study. *Please disregard any references
to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs.File naming convention has been correctedComment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/26/202204/26/2022: INFORMATION:All plans should be
saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers.Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be removed from the PDF’s.AutoCAD turns
drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set, and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the PDF file. The default setting is "1" ("on")
in AutoCAD. To change the setting and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" in the command line and enter "0".

04/26/202204/26/2022: INFORMATION:Temporary Service Changes City of Fort Collins Development ReviewIn order to continue providing thorough reviews and giving every project the attention
it deserves, the City of Fort Collins is implementing temporary changes in how we serve our development customers. As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a number
of key departments, which has begun to impact the timeliness of our reviews. We recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and economic
recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to ourcustomers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service changes.Beginning Monday May 10, 2021, one
additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks).No comment to addressComment Number: 7 Comment Originated:

Comment Originated: 04/26/202204/26/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:The 20 foot temporary construction easement on the south side of the property seems to be labeled incorrectly. It is running
parallel to the property line rather than perpendicular. For a TCE, we will also need a letter of intent stating that the neighboring southern property approves of a TCE for this project.
This cannot be approved until the dedication is recorded.

Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/18/202204/18/2022: Information Only:No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Planning Materials it has been determined that
this project; will disturb less than 10,000 sq. ft., is not proposed to be in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than 3H:1V) within or adjacent to the project, and is not
part of a larger common development that will or is under construction. Therefore, no Erosion Control Material submittal is needed. If this project substantially changes in size or design
where the above criteria now apply, erosion control materials should be submitted. Though the project at this time requires no erosion control material submittal, the project still must
be swept and maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash debris, landscape materials and other pollutants from the potential of leaving the site and entering the storm
sewer at all timesduring the project in accordance with City Code 26498. If complaint driven or site observation of the project seem not to prevent the pollutant discharge the City may
require the project to install erosion and sediment control measures. Nearby inlets that may be impacted by the pollutants, in particular dirt, should be protected as a good preventative
practice and individual lots should be protected from material escaping onto the sidewalk. If at building permit issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcgov.com to help facilitate
getting these permits signed off.No erosion control required. Outlet of retention pond to be protected during construction – see CDs and utility plan setDepartment: Stormwater EngineeringContact:
