3 A. Environmental Impacts 1. Noise and Vibration Beyond construction, noise and vibration impacts will be negligible or non existent. 2. Smoke, Dust and Odors Aside of construction activities, no smoke dust or odor impacts will exist with the Project. 3. Heat, Light and Glare No heat or glare impacts will be realized. Light impacts will be extremely minimal as site lighting will largely consist of building mounted lighting. 4. Visual/Aesthetic Impacts Appropriate architectural and landscaping detail will enhance the visual impact of the Project. Impacts will be minimal due to Boulder Creek to the south and east, industrial uses to the west, and vacant Ag land to the north. Additionally, the setback from Highway 119 is substantial and so will minimize visual impact to passing traffic. 5. Electrical Interference No improvements or operations on the site will create electrical interference issues. 6. Water Pollution No improvements or operations on the site will create water pollution issues. An onsite water quality facility is part of the Project to comply with stormwater quality regulations. 7. Wastewater Disposal Wastewater disposal will be limited to the sanitary sewer service required for the office/residence and will be serviced by St. Vrain Sanitation District. 8. Wetland Removal No wetlands are present on the site nor impacted by the Project. 9. Erosion and Sedimentation Erosion and Sedimentation Control plans will be prepared for construction activities and permanent stabilization to comply with local, state and federal regulations. A permanent onsite water quality facility is part of the Project to comply with stormwater quality regulations. Required permits for grading and erosion/sediment control will be obtained.

4 10. Excavating, Filling and Grading Earthwork activities will be according to approved plans for the site development and will be employed in conjunction with the required permits for Erosion and Sediment Control as discussed above. 11. Drilling, Ditching and Dredging No drilling, ditching or dredging activities are proposed with this Project. 12. Air Pollution No air pollution impacts will be realized beyond construction activities, which will be contained in accordance with local, state and federal laws for air pollution (APEN) permit control during construction. 13. Solid Waste Solid waste will be limited to domestic trash which will be handled via onsite dumpsters and serviced by a local waste management company. 14. Wildlife Removal No wildlife appears to be present onsite. 15. Natural Vegetation Removal No substantial natural vegetation will be removed with this Project. Ground clearing of native grasses and weeds will be required. 16. Radiation/Radioactive Material No radiation/radioactive materials are a part of this Project. 17. Drinking Water Source Drinking water will be provided via a domestic water service from Left Hand Water District. 18. Traffic Impacts Self storage projects are a very low impact traffic generating land use. A Traffic Letter has been prepared and submitted with this PUD application. B. Service Provision Impacts 1. Schools As an industrial Project, no school impacts are realized with the development.

5 2. Law Enforcement Law enforcement requirements for self storage projects are very minimal. The property is served by the Weld County Sheriff s Department, the nearest office for which is very near the site in the vicinity of I 25 and WCR Fire Protection Adequate access, water main extensions and fire hydrants are proposed with the Project to serve the need for fire protection. Proper access into buildings will be designed as part of the building permit applications for each applicable building as emergency/fire access may be required. Mountain View FDP Station No. 1 is directly west of the project which allows for immediate response times. 4. Ambulance Mountain View FDP Station No. 1 is directly west of the project which allows for immediate response times for medical emergencies onsite. 5. Transportation No roads are proposed with this Project. 6. Traffic Impact Analysis A Traffic Letter has been prepared with this PUD application. 7. Storm Drainage A Phase II Drainage Report has been prepared with this PUD application for analysis of the onsite flows, detention/water quality requirements and discharge impacts. 8. Utility Provisions All utilities exist within the vicinity of the Project, including telecom, electrical, gas, water and sanitary sewer. 9. Water Provisions A Will Serve Letter from Left Hand Water District is included with this PUD application. 10. Sewage Disposal Provisions A Will Serve Letter from St. Vrain Sanitation District is included with this PUD application. 11. Structural Road Improvements Plan No roadways are proposed with this Project.

6 C. Landscaping Elements 1. A landscape plan has been prepared in conjunction with this PUD application. 2. A variety of plantings and ground cover treatments have been applied to the site to buffer, enhance and visually soften the proposed development to public view. The tremendous amount of topography adds interest to the landscape plan and finished terrain. 3. Maintenance and management of landscaping installations will consist of regular mowing, weed treatments, pruning/trimming and watering via a designed irrigation system. 4. Landscaping materials will be including in the Improvements Agreement for the Project. 5. Irrigation will be provided via tap from Left Hand Water District. D. Site Design 1. The Project site is topographically fairly steep, which allows for varied height buildings which creates visual interest and opportunity for more efficient site utilization through the employment of some 2 story structures within the Project. 2. The Project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the goals and policies of Industrial Development as existing facilities are adequate, impact is low, and compatibility with the surrounding uses is high. 3. The project use is the only use proposed within the PUD zone district, and hence compatibility with other uses in the PUD zone district is not applicable. The PUD rezoning will be compatible as an I 1/C 3 property with the surrounding industrial and commercial uses to the west, the vacant Ag land to the north, and Boulder Creek to the east. A cell tower site exists at the southern portion of the property, which will remain in place and is a compatible use with the self storage proposal. 4. No conflicts are anticipated with surrounding land uses, due to the compatible nature of the self storage use with the area and the low impact nature of the self storage use. 5. The site is not located with a Flood Hazard, Geological Hazard or Airport Overlay District. E. Common Open Space Usage No common open space is a part of nor affected by this Project. F. Proposed Signage Proposed signage will consist of building mounted signage and required site signage such as stop signs, fire lane signs and accessible parking signs.

7 G. RUA Impacts Again, due to the low intensity of a self storage development, RUA impacts will be minimized through application of the PUD development standards. H. Intergovernmental Agreement Impacts As a single use, low impact Project with utilities and services available in the vicinity, no IGA impacts are anticipated by the development. Responses to the sketch plan phase from Longmont and Firestone were of no comment. Responses to the Notice of Inquiry Forms from Longmont, Firestone and Mead were of no interest in annexation of the property.
