JJ_i� ,�J �,C: 7-- Date Signature 30. The parking lot suffers from a lack of pedestrian amenities. As planned, there is no coherent connection from the retail anchor to the pads. The entire center would benefit if pedestrian travel between the retailers and pads were made safe and attractive. As a result, Staff suggests that two sidewalks, constructed of patterned concrete, bisect two parking bays and run in an cast -west direction to link pads to the retailers. The two logical bays would the second and fourth bays from the north. Such sidewalks should be flanked by landscaping and other features to buffer the pedestrian from the auto. The sidewalks should also be illuminated to promote comfort and safety. These sidewalks should cross the north -south access drive and continue west to the end of the parking row. 31. The suggested sidewalk feature will provide an opportunity to add shade trees. With a western exposure, the parking lot has the potential of becoming intolerably hot during the summer months. 32. There does not appear to be landscaped symmetry on both sides of the parking lot entry on Troutman. Common elements should be used to dramatize the curb cut and promote a sense of entry. 33. Throughout the center, seating benches, trash containers, light fixtures, etc. should all combine to promote a common design theme. 34. The use of the blue accent striping carried over from the Fountainhead project is applauded. Such accent striping could be used in the parking lot in the form of the elements mentioned above, and also in the use of banners, awnings, or painted tubular steel. Such elements could be used to separate pedestrian space from vehicles. 35. The parking lot is required to provide motorcycle and bicycle parking. Signage: 36. It has already been mentioned that a parking lot island is an inappropriate location for a project identification sign. Such a sign should be located along College Avenue. The I.D. sign should be monument sign with the pedestal material of brick. The appropriate size would be 8 x 10. 37. The building sign for Phar Mor appears to be a dull type face. Please investigate various type faces for a more interesting look. Varying the height of characters is encouraged. 38. As specified in the condition of approval for the Preliminary P.U.D., the Final shall specify a signage program for the entire site. Please keep in mind that graphics, colors, shapes, and sizes all must be coordinated to promote a unified design theme. Symbols, logos, abbreviations, and other graphic devices are preferred over simple lettering. Reader boards will not be allowed. 39. The purpose of the unified signage design is not to limit design freedom but to promote common design elements. Graphics should be to tell the motorist where they can find what in a form that is expressive of the individual businesses. Notes: 40. There are a variety of standard notes that should be placed on the cover sheet of the P.U.D. document. Examples of these notes will be photo copied off other P.U.D.'s for your review. Please review these notes for applicability to your project. Staff will assist you in any language adjustments to make the notes fit the Market Place P.U.D. These notes will be mailed under separate cover. This concludes Staff comments at this time. Again, please be aware the Planning and Zoning Board may provide direction contrary to these comments. In order to stay on schedule for the June 26, 1989 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due June 7, 1989. PMT's, colored renderings, and 10 final prints are due June 19, 1989 Final mylars, and site covenants are due June 22, 1989. 1 suggest we set up a meeting to discuss these comments at your earliest convenience.

Box 580 ' Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Dear Ms. Albertson -Clark: Larimer Co. - SH 287 The Market Place P.U.D. N.E. of Troutman Pkwy. and SH 287 DOH File 45100 We have reviewed The Market Place P.U.D., and we have the following comments. 1. The dedication of approximately 20 additional feet of right of way on the east side of State Highway 287 will achieve a 70 foot width east of the highway centerline. This is consistent with our recommended right of way for this highway. 2. The proposed right-in/right-out access to SH 287 is in the approximate location of an access point identified in the draft South College Access Control Plan. Although this plan is not yet approved, this access is shown in the proposed plan as a means to alleviate unacceptable traffic operation and safety prohlems at Troutman Parkway. Therefore, we find it to be consistent with the State Highway Access Code. Construction of this access requires an application for Access Permit to the City with concurrence by this office. A right -turn deceleration lane of 315 feet plus a 140 foot taper is required based on the existing 40 M.P.H. posted speed limit. The final design of the access will be determined through the permit process. 3. The P.U.D. plan shows a driveway to an internal parking area on the west side of Pad "A" slightly over 40 feet from the outside edge of the right turn deceleration lane. We strongly discourage a driveway at this location since it would conflict with vehicles entering the site from SH 287. Thank you for the opportunity to review this P.U.D. Please contact me at 350-2168 if you have any questions. Very truly yours, DOUGLAS RAMES i DISTRICT ENGINEER r Wallace R. acobson Development Planning/Access Coordinator WJ:cas cc: D. Yost Area Foreman File: Jacobson via Crier Devei nent Services A Planning Department A Citv of Fort Collins April 20, 1989 Gene Yergcnson Yergcnson, Obering, Whittaker 115 S. Weber, Suite 200 Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Dear Gene: Staff has reviewed the Market Place PUD Preliminary and has the following comments to make: --- ----- 1. Four inch fire service lines may not be sufficient to supply fire sprinkler systems due to low water pressure in the area. Four inch service lines are permissible if sprinkler systems can be calculated to the available pressure (see attached flow information). 2. Water and sewer mains must be stubbed into the property from both Troutman and JFK and must be used or abandoned. Interior water mains should connect to Troutman, JFK and an existing stub in the Fountainhead shopping area. A repay is due for the Warren Lake Trunk Sewer. The Fort Collins -Loveland Water District has an existing main in College and several taps are stubbed into the property from this main. The taps may be used for irrigation or must be abandoned. 3. Proposed utility casements appear to be adequate for Public Service Company. Planting of trees in these easements must be closely coordinated with utility companies. No trees should be planted closer than 6' to any natural gas line. Further coordination of this item will occur at final review. 4. Construction of the right-in/out access on College Avenue will require a State Highway Access Permit. Evaluation of the needed decel lane along the site will be based on review of the traffic impact analysis, which to date, has not been submitted. As designed, the decel lane may be too short. 5. The driveway location at the northwest corner of the site (near Pad A) is located too close to the intersection with College Avenue and should be deleted. 6. Dedication of Troutman Parkway needs to occur with this project. A deed of dedication for the right-of-way should be provided so that the dedication may progress immediately. 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 Page 2 7. The following Storm Drainage comments and questions have been received - Basin delineations are incomplete. Does sub -basin A include the area to the crown of College Avenue? - Is the offsitc flow for Fountainhead PUD (7.6 cfs) shcetflow or concentrated? - Documentation of proposed release rate and agreement from Larimer #2 Irrigation Company to accept stormwater discharge must be provided at final review, or the ditch company may review and sign on final utility plans. - Final drainage plans must include detailed sizing calculations as well as capacity checks of streets and outfall facilities. - Show flow rates leaving the site and indicate how far and where the major outfall is, on the drainage plan. 8. Any existing trees on the site should be shown on the site plan and an indication of whether they will be retained or removed should also be provided. 9. The final plat should not show parking and/or building envelopes. 10. Building envelopes, with dimensions, need to be shown on the site plan. 11. Materials and height of the proposed screening wall need to be shown. 12. All plans should reflect the title of the project as The Market Place PUD Preliminary. 13. Several items are not shown consistently on the plat and site plan. Examples include the location of the sidewalk along College Avenue, the right-in/out access point on College Avenue and islands in the parking area. 14. Seventeen foot long parking stalls require a 2' overhang, using a minimum 6' walk or landscaped area for the overhang. The parking stalls located along the north edge of the site (along access from College) will interfere with traffic in this area. This parking should be eliminated. 15. Clarification is needed on how the drive -through on Pad B would work (ie. entrance/exit, menu board location, pick-up window location(s)). 16. Loading and trash receptacles/pickup need to be addressed for Pads A and B. 17. Clarification is needed on how the proposed expansion would work for Pad C. 18. The following comments apply to general parking lot design: - Parking distribution appears uneven, with too much of the parking located where the demand is the least. Pads A and B should be shifted closer to the street, with parking placed cast of the pads. This would provide a more pleasing streetscape along the site's College frontage, as well as improve the parking distribution. Page 3 - Parking aisles should line-up throughout the parking lot. - Landscaped islands should be provided at the ends of all parking aisles, to provide definition of traffic flow. - Aisle widths throughout the parking area may be 24' (20' where parking is single -loaded. - Parking in front of Buildings C-F should be deleted, to provide this as a major route through the parking lot, as well as to open the pedestrian areas in the front of buildings. - Additional pedestrian connections should be provided through the parking lot (as provided in front of Building F)_ 19. The following comments apply to the landscape plan: - Pines should be eliminated from parking lot islands and replaced with deciduous trees. Each island should have at least two deciduous trees. - Additional shrub beds should be provided along the site's College Avenue frontage. - Foundation plantings and planters should be addressed for Buildings D-G. - Additional landscape screening should be provided along the sides and backs of proposed buildings and in particular, along the proposed drive -up on Pad B. 20. Setbacks along College Avenue, Troutman and JFK are inadequate. Minimum setbacks should be 45' from right-of-way, consistent with the Pavilion PUD to the south. 2L The proposed signs along College Avenue appear to be too large and should be reduced, both in size and height. Preliminary information regarding proposed building signage should be provided, if known. 22. Building elevations, particularly along the backs of buildings and for Building G, should be re-evaluated, to consider the use of additional materials, treatment and/or color, as a means of providing greater visual relief and interest. 23. Planning staff has serious concerns regarding the orientation of this project, with the back of the project toward JFK Parkway. This street is a collector street and is intended to provide re -circulation alternatives to College Avenue. While the interest in orienting a regional/community center to College Avenue may be strong, this site has the potential to gain even greater visibility through taking advantage of orientation to three significant streets, rather than focusing solely on College Avenue. Thus, staff believes this project should be re -designed to take advantage of visibility of all three streets in the area, rather than turning the backs of the building on public rights -of -way. 24. Planning staff is also concerned regarding the status of the out -parcel in the southeast corner of the site. As designed, the proposed development has essentially precluded access to this site. While staff has encouraged the inclusion of this out -parcel into the overall development plan, we realize this may not be feasible; however, this issue needs to be given serious consideration so that future access/development for this site is not precluded. I have scheduled a meeting on this project for Tuesday, April 25 at 11:00 A.Ibt. in the Planning Conference Room. Staff from the Planning, Engineering and Traffic Departments will be present to discuss these comments and concerns with you. Revisions addressing these comments must be submitted by noon on Slav a. 199e. The number of plans to be submitted for revisic ns will be determined, based on the nature of expected changes. Please be aware that if revisions are significant, what is essentially a new review of the project will be necessary. By Tuesday, May 15, 1989 ten (10) folded sets of the site plan, a colored rendering (unfolded) and an 8-1/2" x 11" PMT reduction must be submitted for the Board meeting May 22. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Sherry Albegtson-Clark, AICP Senior Cites' tanner cc: Don Parsons, Parsons and Associates Joe Frank, Assistant Planning Director Mike Herzig, Development Coordinator file Develop. nt Services Planning Department City of Fort Collins May 19, 1989 Mr. Gene Yergensen Yergensen, Obering & Whittaker 115 South Weber Colorado Springs, CO. 80803 Dear Mr. Yergensen: Staff has reviewed the request for the Market Place P.U.D., Final, located at the Pawa corner of College Avenue and Troutman rky. The following comments are offered. Please keep in mind these comments may be varied, altered, or expanded depending upon the action of the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board in their review of the Preliminary P.U.D. on the evening of May 22, 1989. I. Adding the Johnson "outparcel" into the design of the P.U.D. is a positive step in the planning of the site. It appears, however, that the outparccl has been tacked on as an afterthought and will function as a stand-alone piece rather than be fully integrated into the center. From Staff's perspective, the entire site would benefit if the outparccl were consolidated into the center. By taking advantage of the additional property, Anchor Tenant G could be shifted to the south allowing a wider setback along the north property line. This shift would allow the right-in/right-out access road to be continued to J.F.K. Parkway creating greater access opportunities for this project and any future project on the north. The corner of J.F.K. Parkway and Troutman could still accommodate a development pad that could share parking and access with the balance of the center. 2. It has long been a policy that shopping centers should be served by one vehicle trip and that customers should not have to get into their cars to travel to another shop within the center. As it stands now, the former outparccl is walled off from the center. This configuration is not cohesive and does not promote a unif icd site. Reducing the amount of vehicle miles traveled promotes air quality. 3. The outparccl would benefit by placing the buildings closer to the intersection and locating the parking towards the interior of the site. This would Tend the appearance that these uses are development "pads" of the center and are unified with the entire project. Also, landscaped buildings, with formal street trees planted on regular intervals, create a more attractive streetscape than a parking lot. 4. By connecting the outparccl to the center with vehicular and pedestrian access, the outparccl would benefit from shared parking with the center. This would lessen the need that the outparcel would have to supply its entire parking obligation on its own. ,III I . r:, AConlin • I'.(`_ "")v • Port (_ollin.. C 0 '11h2=-f i8O • 303) 5. To sum up the comments on the inclusion of the Johnson parcel, Staff feels the entire P.U.D. would benefit by taking advantage of the additional property to improve setbacks, circulation, access, and site unity. 6. 'The length of the deceleration lane on College Avenue does not meet the standard length of 315 feet plus 140 feet taper at a design speed of 40 m.p.h. as specified by the State Highway Access Code. Please submit a variance request from this standard to Mike Herzig, City of Fort Collins, Development Engineer. 7.'The sidewalk on College Avenue should be detached a minimum of 9 feet from the flowline. This detached area should be landscaped. Beyond the sidewalk, the parking lot should be setback a minimum of 20 feet. The parking lot setback on the northerly part of the site is only 5 feet. This is unacceptable. Additional right-of-way may have to be dedicated to accommodate the detached sidewalk. The sidewalk may be located adjacent to the property line. 8. Easements are required for off -site drainage improvements. 9. Please be aware that additional comments relating to the utility plans will be made on the plans and forwarded to the engineering consultant. 10. Water and sewer mains are stubbed into the property from Troutman Parkway and J.F.K. Parkway. These stubs must be used to provide interior mains to serve the area, or they must be abandoned. 11. There is a repay due to the City for the Warren Lake Trunk Sewer. 12. The existing Fort Collins -Loveland Water District water main along College Avenue has several water taps. These may be used for irrigation services. If not used, they must be abandoned. 13. A sewer main has been proposed in a landscaped area north of Troutman Parkway. Care should be taken that trees are not placed over this main. The Water and Scwcr Department prefers that trees be separated from the sewer main a sufficient distance. 14. According to the Fire Marshal of the Poudre Fire Authority, buildings E. F. and G must be equipped with an approved commercial fire sprinkler system. 15. The site is currently served by Transfort Route #6. Bus stops in the area must be retained. 16. The Public Service Company cautions that trees should not be planted over any natural gas Tines. The preferred separation distance is 6 feet. 17. The City will not assume any maintenance of landscaping planted in the right-of-way. Landscape Plan: 18. All deciduous shrubs should be specified for 5 gallon containers. 19. Plcasc add the following note to the landscape plan: "A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan are planted, pruned, or removed on the public right-of-way." 20. According to the City Forester, the Schwedler Maple is a weak species. A stronger species is the Marshall Green Ash. Please substitute the 20 Schwedler Maples for Marshall Green Ash. 21. Fort Collins desires to create a formal street tree concept along arterial streets. It is preferred that trees be planted formally at regular intervals. For this reason, 4 additional Marshall Green Ash should be planted at the following locations: Add one on Troutman between the first curb cut and College Avenue Add two on Troutman between the two curb cuts Add one on College just south of the Shademaster Honeylocust 22. According to the City Forester, the Paul's Scarlet Hawthorn is not well suited to local conditions. A more desirable species would be the Radiant Crab. Please substitute Radiant Crab for the Paul's Scarlet Hawthorn. 23. The site plan does not match the landscape plan on the northerly frontage along College Avenue. The landscape plan shows only a 5 foot parking lot setback. Please resolve this discrepancy. 24. The landscape plan shows a ponderosa pine where the site plan indicates a project sign. Since this is a parking lot, Staff feels the landscaping provides a valuable shading function as well as creates a visual interest in a large asphalt area. Consequently, please delete the project sign from this location and adjust the site plan accordingly. 25. The two handicap parking spaces are at the end of a parking lot drive aisle. This area should feature a landscaped island as are all the other drive aisles. 26. The landscape plan incorrectly shows the location of the loading dock screen walls. In addition, eight and six foot high block walls desperately need some landscape treatment. Please correct the wall locations and add appropriate landscape materials to soften the screen walls. 27. There are three parking lot bays consisting of 20 cars without the relief of landscaped islands. These bays should be broken up with landscaped islands to provide shade, visual interest, and relief from the large asphalt expanse. Parking Lot Design: 28. The landscape plan is silent on the use of berms. A large parking lot on College Avenue would benefit from the slight undulations of berming. While Staff does not envision a bermed screen wall, berming should be used to add interest and variety to the site. In particular, berms should be used along College and Troutman to add a measure of quality to the streetscape. Berms arc also very effective along the foundations of pad buildings. Sloping the landscaping up the foundation walls of the pad buildings makes a very dramatic use of the setback area. 29. Staff suggests that the landscaped parking lot islands be slightly bermed. This tends to raise the visibility of the parking lot trees and lower the perception of the parked car. When used effectively, the result is to draw the passing motorist's attention directly to the store and not to the large parking lot.
