Please show other possible locations and tower configurations that will reduce the visibility of this equipment: can you locate on top of the existing roof? Can you use equipment that is less visually intrusive? Can you locate somewhere else on the site that would have fewer impacts to the surroundings? We have several good examples here in Fort Collins that better achieve compatibility. Please let me know if you would like pictures of these. Number: 8 Created: 9/20/2005 [9/20/05] The Building Inspection Department requires a pre -submittal Code Review Meeting for all projects. This project must meet the UBC and the2005 National Electrical Code. Plans Analyst Rick Lee advises you to be aware that Fort Collins is a high wind location (100 mph) so the mounting devices need to be designed to satisfy this requirement. A scan of their comments will be emailed along with your staff review comment letter. Number: 9 Created: 9/20/2005 [9/20/05] As mentioned by other reviewers below, the overall site plan is not particularly clear. Please revise this drawing to clearly show the property boundaries (label them) and the entire existing building footprint (use proper line weights) of the shopping center. You should also show the neighboring footprints to the south and southeast and indicate whether they are commercial or residential so we can evaluate any impacts to these abutting properties. Number: 10 Created: 9/20/2005 [9/20/05] Per the Land Use Code, you must provide a foot of setback from the nearest property line for every foot of height for a monopole assembly unless you demonstrate to the Director of Current Planning that the structure would collapse not topple. It appears that you may have already met the setback requirement. This will be confirmed once you have labeled the property line. Number: 11 Created: 9/20/2005 [9/20/05] If the facility remains in the proposed location or in the existing access drive aisle behind the shopping center, it seems advisable to add some very discreet security lighting or reflective signage so that vehicles will see the new structure. If the adjacent use to the south are residential, the design of this lighting will need to be very sensitive to these Page 1
