Home My WebLink AboutDISCOUNT TIRE AT FOSSIL CREEK - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2004-08-05STEWARTMSSOCIATES April 29, 2002 Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Mr. Cam McNair City Engineer City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Cam McNair, This is a request for a variance in the proposed Discount Tire development of Commercial Envelope `B" of the Fossil Creek Meadows Subdivision First Filing. The request pertains to the speed used to calculate the Sight Distance. Our distance is only critical in the westerly direction for vehicles exiting the Discount Tire parking lot onto Fossil Creek Parkway, which is classified as a major collector. City Standards require the use of the design speed for sight distance calculations, which in this case is 40 mph, and creates a minimum sight distance of 660 feet. The variance is for a sight distance of 347 feet, which corresponds to a speed of 31 mph. The point of first sight in the Eastbound lane of Fossil Creek Parkway for the said scenario is 127' feet from the roadway of S. College (US 287) which is a stoplight intersection. Said point is also at the beginning of a 220 foot centerline radius curve. Said centerline curve radius is 80' less than the standard minimum for a collector. Given these two factors, the speed of travel should be much lower than the 40 mph design speed. Consequently, a sight distance of 347 feet will accomplish the purpose of the City Standards. - -- - - - The location of the Snead Dr. tie-in to Fossil Creek Parkway does not allow the entrance to Discount tire to move any farther to the East to increase the sight distance. The 100-yr Flood Plain of Fossil Creek prevents moving the building to the south to increase the sight distance. The maximum sight distance available for this site is approximately 450', so the 660' requirement is not feasible. Additionally, if the AASHTO 2001 "A Policy on Geometric Design" Equation 9-1 pertaining to intersection sight design is used to calculate the sight distance at 40 mph, the resulting 441' is substantially lower than the 660' called for by City Standards. If possible, could you please call me back with your decision on this request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions regarding the information in this request, please call. James H. Stewart and Associates, Inc. 103 S. Meldrum Street • P.O. Box 429 • Ft. Collins, CO 80522 970/482-9331 • Fax 970/482-9382 Due to the floodplain restrictions, the floor elevation of the building must be approximately 5 — 8 feet below the street grades at the South College Avenue / Fossil Creek Parkway intersection. If the building were located within the "build to" line, retaining walls would be required between the sidewalk and the building. With the current building location, a 4:1 slope can be used along Fossil Creek Parkway, which is both safer and more aesthetically pleasing.

If the right turn lane is not required, then they just need to provide an 8' bikelane against the curb. Hope this helps. Thanks, KR x6140 >>> Katie Moore 09/05/02 01:37PM >>> Hello, I'm trying to get a few issues resolved on this project before the 2nd round comments are due on the 18th. The issues have to do with the right turn lane on College adjacent to the site. There is an existing right turn lane there now, but with the ultimate widening of College, this lane will become the through lane. Eric, do the numbers in the TIS warrant an exclusive right turn lane here in the future, after the ultimate widening? Kathleen, how will the bike lane project on College affect this site? Do they need to widen out the existing turn lane to accomodate the bike lane between the through and turn lanes? Are there any other issues I should be aware of? Thanks, Have a great weekend, Katie City of Fort Collins Memorandum Date: October 7, 2002 To: From: Katie Moore, Project Engineer RE: Retaining wall placement in the utility easement, Discount Tire PDP Attached for your review and comments are sketches by the Applicant showing the placement of a retaining wall in the 15' utility easement parallel to College near the southeast corner of the intersection of College and Fossil Creek (this request is associated with the Discount Tire plans currently under review). The proposed retaining wall placement would leave 12.8' clear from the back of the sidewalk to the face of the wall, and 10.2' clear from the back of the sidewalk to the edge of the footer for the wall. Please sign and return any comments to Katie Moore in Development Review Engineering by October 21, 2002.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Cam McNair, This is a request for vacation of right-of-way along both Fossil Creek Parkway and South College Avenue as they border Fossil Creek Meadows Commercial Envelopes "A" and " B". This is a follow-up to a previous request for vacation solely along South College. New boundary corners have been calculated based on both the approved plans for the Fossil Creek Parkway improvements and for county guidelines for a six -lane arterial with deceleration lane. The land requested for vacation is the difference between said required right-of- way and the existing boundaries. Simultaneously, Mr. Paul Heffron, the owner of said commercial envelopes, is dedicating by replat any ground required for said rights -of -way that is currently within said boundary lines. Mr. Heffron is dedicating 980.7 square feet along Fossil Creek Parkway, and is requesting 1475.3 and 12653.4 along Fossil Creek Parkway and South College respectively. Additionally, 20538.6 square feet is being dedicated from the existing South College Frontage Road to South College by this request. Since the new calculated boundary provides all required rights -of -way, the City of Fort Collins and C.D.O.T. will no longer need the land being requested. At the same time, said land will increase the functional use of said commercial envelopes. If you have any questions regarding the information in this request, please call.

In addition, Transportation require that the westbound bike lane on Fossil Creek Parkway be striped LIP to the intersection. Currently the lane that was striped during the Fossil Creek Improvements stops before the single tl'uu lane becomes a thru lane and a dedicated turning lane. This should not pose any problems. 2) Fossil Creek Trail and pedestrian connectivity Park Planning, did not have any additional concerns. However, due to the refiguring of the onsite storm drainage facilities. additional room became available at the Southwest corner of the site. This helped clear up the concerns of having a connection from our site to the future Fossil Creek Regional Trail. Additional Public trail access casement space will be given to allow for connection from the South C011cgc sidewalk to the proposed trail. It was N-ought to Transportations attention that placement of the sidewalk for ultimate design is not practical at the south end of our site's Irontase. This is partly due to the fact that the bridge has not been widened yet, and partly because of the large amount of fill that will be required. It was pointed out that if the sidewalk was built to the end of the property, it would be 10' above the existing ground, which does not help any pedestrian. Both Engineering. specifically Matt Baker, and Transportation that for this project the sidewalk shall be built up to a point that is easily connectable to the future Fossil Creel: Trail. This way, if the trail is built prior to South College widening, the sidewalk requircd to be built by us will already he in place.

The alignment of the R.O.W. was submitted to Katie at this time, and was approved. The City is planning a Bike Lane project to stretch from Harmony Rd. South to Carpenter Rd. The current City Street Standards for South College include an 8' bike lane, to be narrowed to a 6' lane at the existing right-hand turn lane, while maintaining a 12' turn lane not including gutter width. At the time of the meeting, Stewart and Associates were not sure if the existing striping and road width would allow for the bike lane or not. Transportation stated that if necessary, the existing curb and gutter would have to be moved to allow for the bike lane. Once the curb and gutter was realigned, the next issue is whether the placement of the interim sidewalk (ie. not ultimate design) would allow for the existing crosswalk across Fossil Creek Parkway to be sufficient, or whether a pedestrian refuge would be required at this time. In addition, Transportation will require that the westbound bike lane on Fossil Creek Parkway be striped up to the intersection. Currently the lane that was striped during the Fossil Creek Improvements stops before the single thru lane becomes a thru lane and a dedicated turning lane. This should not pose any problems. 2) Fossil Creek Trail and pedestrian connectivity Park Planning did not have any additional concerns. However, due to the refiguring of the onsite storm drainage facilities, additional room became available at the Southwest corner of the site. This helped clear up the concerns of having a connection from our site to the future Fossil Creek Regional `Dail. An additional Public Trail Access easement will be given to allow for connection from the South College sidewalk to the proposed trail. It was brought to Transportation's attention that placement of the sidewalk for ultimate design is not practical at the south end of our site's frontage. This is partly due to the fact that the bridge has not been widened yet, and partly because of the large amount of fill that will be required. It was pointed out that if the sidewalk was built to the end of the property, it would be 10' above the existing ground, which does allow the pedestrian movement. Both Street Improvements and Transportation agreed that for this project the sidewalk shall be built up to a point that is easily connectable to the future Fossil Creek Trail. This way, if the trail is built prior to South College widening, the sidewalk required along South College will already be in place. Street Improvements stated that they would work with Stewart and Associates to come up with an escrow amount to cover the remaining South College sidewalk construction.

In addition, the proposed driveway location will align with the intersection of Snead Drive when it is constructed in the future. Katie Moore - Memoradum- Oct 14-02.doc Page 3 Since the meeting, Stewart and Associates have determined that the current striping on College will not allow for a bike lane to be placed without moving the existing curb and gutter back. However, this poses a problenn because there a three existing utilities within Tile area that is to become the right- hand turn lane. There is a PVREA power pole, MCI WorldCom communication lines, and a curb inlet with piping down to Fossil Creek. Upon consultation with engineers in the office, and with the client, Stewart and Associates are trying to work out an additional escrow agreement. This would allow for the bike lane project to happen all at the same time. This is beneficial because the project will have full cooperation with the 3 utilities mentioned, and will already have the required crews in the area. No agreement has been made at this time. 3) Retaining wall Also at the meeting, the client agreed that we should move the retaining wall back to the edge of the architectural columns along the western side of the building. This will allow for additional room within the 15' utility easement, and will decrease the wall height and allow for better visual access from South College into the showroom windows.

College Fort Collins CO. 80522-0580 Re: Discount Tire Storm Drainage Easement Dear Mr- Jones, I am writing on behalf of the Fossil Creek Meadows Homeowners Association (FCMHOA) in regards to a proposed easement in Tract A of Fossil Creek Meadows, first Filing. This proposed easement would allow the proposed Discount Tire development of Commercial Envelope B to install a storm drainage outlet to nearby Fossil Creek. Stewail & Associates has initiated discussions with the FCMHOA for this easement. We have reviewed the easement location, legal descriptions, and easement language. Throughout the discussions Stewart and Associates has been responsive to our questions and requests. This letter serves as a "letter of intent' from the FCMHOA that the proposed eascmcnt appears acceptable. We have yet to review the documents with our legal council but anticipate that any requested changes resulting from this council would not be significant in nature. We understand that only after final approval of the proposed Discount Tire development the actual easement is to be drafted by Stewart & Associates and si,-ne.d by us. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this letter of intent, Sincerely, Bill Alexander President, FCMHOA STEWART&ASSOCIATES Consulting Engineers and Surveyors February 12, 2003 Mr. Cam McNair City Engineer City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO. 80522 Dear Cam McNair, This is a request for variance in the proposed Discount Tire development at Fossil Creek Parkway. This request pertains to LCUASS Table 7-3, specifically the centerline radius of Snead Drive, which is classified as Local Commercial. The original alignment of Snead Dr. did not meet LCUASS 8.2.3 which requires a maximum intersection angle of 110' /80'. In order to place the entrance drive for our project and maintain continuity at the intersection of Fossil Creek Parkway, Snead Dr. was required to be realigned while maintaining current LCUASS standards. The alignment is constrained by the required sight distance for cars exiting our proposed project to see oncoming traffic from the west, and by the 100' tangent length of Snead Dr. called. for in Table 7-3. The decision to hold the tangent length and decrease the turning radios was chosen. The standard centerline turning radius in Table 7-3 for a Local Commercial street is 275.00'. The actual centerline turning radius used is 166.42'. By maintaining the tangent length, this design allows for traffic to have sufficient straight roadway to come to a complete stop at the intersection with Fossil Creek Parkway. Additionally, Snead Dr. is approaching a T intersection and traffic will be slowing to less than the design speed used to determine the Table 7-3 standards. This variance to the alignment of Snead Dr. will not be a detriment to the public health, safety, or welfare, will not reduce the design life, and will not cause any additional maintenance costs to the City of Fort Collins. Please note that Snead Dr. will not be built with this development. We appreciate your time in considering this matter and would be happy to answer any questions regarding the information in this request. Sincerely, T --' -/_ �- Franklin D. Blake, P.E. & P.L.S.

The variances are for minimum centerline radius on a local street and curb return radius for a driveway. The centerline radius is requested to be smaller (166.42 feet) as opposed to the standard centerline radius of 275 feet on a commercial local street. The curb return radius is requested to be larger (30 feet) as opposed to the standard 15 foot curb return radius for a driveway intersecting a collector street. Typically, the City requires that the standard centerline radius of a commercial local street be a minimum of 275 feet for drivability. The engineer proposes centerline radius of 166.42 feet on Snead Drive, and believes that this variance can be supported due to the fact that the tangent length at the intersection with Fossil Creek was kept at the standard 100 feet, and that traffic will be slow due to the proximity of the curve to the T intersection with Fossil Creek Parkway. Additionally, the engineer feels that this variance will not be a detriment to the public health, safety, or welfare, will not reduce the design life, and will not cause any additional maintenance costs to the City. It is my opinion that this variance can be supported based on the engineer's arguments above, as well as the fact that the distance from the stub of the existing Snead Drive (to the north of this development) to Fossil Creek Parkway is only 400 feet, and the angle at which the existing Snead Drive intersects the property line to the north combined with the need for the road to intersect Fossil Creek Parkway at 90- degrees (+/- 10 degrees) severely limits the design options for this remaining portion of Snead Drive. The engineer also requested a variance regarding the curb return radius for a driveway intersecting a collector street. Typically, the City requires that radii in this case must be 15 feet to slow vehicles entering and exiting the driveway. The engineer proposes the standard 15 foot radius on the east side of the driveway, but a 30 foot radius on the west side, and feels that this variance can be supported because of the single -axle delivery trucks using the access for tire delivery and removal. The engineer further states that this variance will not be a detriment to the public health, safety, or welfare, will not reduce the design life, and will not cause any additional maintenance costs to the City. It is my opinion that this variance can be supported based on the engineer's arguments above. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and if you need any additional clarification. STEWART&ASSOCIATES Consulting Engineers and Surveyors February 12, 2003 Mr. Cam McNair City Engineer City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO. 80522 Dear Cam McNair, This is a request for variance in the proposed Discount Tire development at Fossil Creek Parkway. This request pertains to LCUASS 8.2.9, specifically the curb return radii for the access drive onto Fossil Creek Parkway, which is classified as a major collector. 8.2.9 calls for a radius of 15'. The 15' radius is used for the eastern curb return, but a 30' radius is used for the western curb return. The reasoning for the increased radius is that single -axle delivery trucks will require access to the site for tire delivery and removal. It is important to note that the access drive connects with Fossil Creek Parkway at an 80' angle, as allowed in LCUASS 8.2.3. This variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, will increase the design life of said improvements, and will not increase the maintenance costs to the City of Fort Collins. This variance will provide better service to the public than if the standard 15' curb return radius were used. We feel these combined factors justify the increased curb return radius. We appreciate your time in considering this matter and would be happy to answer any questions regarding the information in this request. Sincerely, Franklin D. BI$ke'P.E. & P.L.S.

Meldrum Street PO Box 429 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Re: Variance requests for Discount Tire at Fossil Creek Dear Mr. Blake, This letter is in response to your request for variances to the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. One variance requested was a reduction of the centerline radius on Snead Drive from the standard 275 feet to 166.42 feet. The other variance requested was to increase the radius of the western curb return on the driveway entrance to the site from the standard 15 feel to 30 feet. Both variances have been approved by the City Engineer only for this project. As with all variances to the street standards, the variances granted for this project are based on the particular situation under design and the judgment that we (the aesigner and the City) apply to determine whether there is a pubf,c safety concern. The variances for this project in no way set any precedence for relaxing these standards on other projects without romolete analysis and justification.

I don't think the board will have a problem with granting the easement under the following conditions: 1) stormwater and other runoff from the property is conveyed to Fossil Creek in a manner that precludes erosion of the creek banks 2) your client assumes responsibility for obtaining any necessary permits associated with routing stormwater to the creek (i.e. NPDES permit, if required) and stormwater from your client's property does not degrade the water quality in Fossil Creek 3) your client ensures that Fossil Creek Meadows Homeowners Association is not held liable for any maintenance associated with the stormwater conveyance for which the easement is granted Please email your response to me and the others copied on this email. We will discuss and get back to you. Sincerely, Bill Alexander 4-ZAMN Citv of Fort Collins May 15, 2002 Services ngineering Department Stewart and Associates ,lack Blake 103 S. Meldrum Fort Collins.

Modification Request Discount Tire at Fossil Creek PDP July 18, 2002 This request is for a modification to the "build -to" line requirements as outlined in the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. The modification being requested is from section 3.5.3 (B)(2)(a) and (b), Relationship of Buildings to Streets, Walkways and Parking. This regulation reads as follows: and; (a) To establish "build -to" lines, buildings shall be located and designed to align or approximately align with any previously established building/sidewalk relationships that are consistent with this standard. Accordingly, at least thirty (30) percent of the total length of the building along the street shall be extended to the build -to line area. If a parcel, lot or tract has multiple streets, then the building shall be built to at least two (2,1 of them according to (b) through (d) below, i.e. to a street corner. (b) Buildings shall be located no more than fifteen (15) feet from the right-of- way of adjoining street if the street is smaller than a full arterial or has on -street parking. Project Description Discount Tire is proposing a new 8,480 sq. ft. building at the southeast corner of South College Avenue and Fossil Creek Parkway. The main access to the site has been located to align with the future extension of Snead Drive, to the north across from Fossil Creek Parkway. The proposed building is located in the northwest comer of the site, outside of the 100-year floodplain and parking for the facility is located south of the building. (Exhibit A) Modification The west side of the building is located approximately 23 feet from the South College Avenue right-of-way line, meeting the "build -to" line standard for an arterial street. Fossil Creek Parkway curves to the southeast from the intersection with South College Avenue, creating a sight distanc8 triangle along the southern edge of the street, which prevents the bui [ding from being placed within the "build -to" line standards. The result is that the setback along Fossil Creek Parkway varies from 39.5 feet at the northwest corner to 26.5 feet at the northeast corner of the building. Therefore, the north side of the building does not meet the required 15-foot setback for 30% of its length. In order to meet this requirement the building would have to be designed with a curved wall to match the curve in Fossil Creek Parkway and an angled wall to align with the site distance triangle. The request is for a modification to allow a greater setback along Fossil Creek Parkway that varies from 26.5 feet to 39.5 feet, but is not 15 feet for 30% of it's length. Justification Ajustification for this request per the Modification Criteria (Section 2.8 2(H) (1) is that the proposed plan will serve the standard equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard. We believe the proposed project meets this criterion in the following ways: 1. Setting the building back an additional 24.5 feet allows for more landscaping in front of the building, creating a more attractive streetscape. 2. Setting the building back an additional 24.5 feet would help it fit into the context of the established neighborhood where most building setbacks exceed 50 feet. 3. A connecting walkway is provided in the most convenient location to allow pedestrians to enter the building without crossing driveways or parking lots. Another justification per the Modification Criteria (Section 2.8.2(H) (3) is the physical conditions of the; site due to the curve of Fossil Creek Parkway and the resulting site distance easement. The north wall of the building complies with the intent of the 15-foot build -to line. It is only because of the curvature of the street that the setback technically does not meet the standard.
