Development agreement will require developer to escrow funds for the remaining local street improvements including utility relocations, manhole adjustments, fire hydrant relocation, etc. (As has been agreed, Buckingham Street improvements cannot be constructed now since the entire roadway needs to be reconstructed to meet minimum flowline grades.) • Parking lots are shown as gravel on landscape plan. Per phone conversation with the applicant all driveways and parking areas shown are being paved at this time. If not.. driveways must be paved to prevent tracking of dirt and debris out onto Buckingham Street. li 1 1- Date: Signature: PLEASE SEND COPIES OF MARKED REVISIONS: ❑ PLAT ❑ SITE ❑ UTILITY ❑ LANDSCAPE I)4 PROJECT IMOW II COMMENT SHEET City of Fort Collins Current Planning DATE: September 23, 1996 DEPT: Engineering PROJECT: #28-9313 VANWORKS - Amended I-L Site Plan Review PLANNER: Mike Ludwig All comments must be received by: Friday, October 4, 1996 VANWORKS SUBDIVISION 2nd FILING Amended IL Site Plan Review Engineering Department Comments October 18, 1996 1/8 Title Sheet: • Please make sure the date shown on the plans is current at the time the mylars are submitted for final approval Plat: • Please see the attached copy of Ordinance No.108, 1993. The Ordinance specifically states that the Logan Court r.o.w. vacated is that r.o.w. shown on the plat entitled "Replat of North Lernay Subdivision." Therefore, the entire r.o.w. for Logan Court has already been vacated and an easement was retained to continue the existing 20' wide utility easement. The minor subdivision for Phelps-Tointon only replatted a portion of the previous plat, but the entire r.o.w. for Logan Court was vacated, including the r.o.w. outside the replat area to the west. Please modify the notes on the plat to reflect the previous r.o.w. vacation. Date: %i, , Signature CHECK IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE COPIES OF REVISIONS PLAT 'i�� SITE LANDSCAPE UTILITY • It is not clear from cross referencing our plats and quarter section maps with this plat as to what the actual existing dedicated r.o.w. along Buckingham Street is. Our maps show a total of 57' of r.o.w- width in this area. Phelps Tointon did dedicate an additional 7'. Please verify what the existing r.o.w width is to the north of the center of the existing r.o.w. • Please provide a 9' wide utility easement along Buckingham Street 2/8 Site Plan �k There will only be one access point allowed along the common property line between Phelps-Tointon and this site. The proposed access is too close to the existing westerly Phelps-Tointon access too function safely along a collector street. There are a number of allowable options to accomplish this. Either. 1) Phelps Tointon keeps their existing westerly access and Vanworks gets one new access which is sufficiently separated to the west from the Phelps- Tointon access (a second access ends up too close to any other along the Vanworks property): 2) Vanworks shares the existing westerly access on the Phelps-Tointon property and gets one access sufficiently separated to the west: 3) Phelps-Tointon loses their existing westerly access and shares the new easterly access on the Vanworks property: or 4) Phelps-Tointon relocates their existing westerly access and shares it as a joint access withe Vanworks centered on the property line (and Vanworks gets one access at the west edge of the property as proposed). Physically and operationally, the option #4 seems to work the best for both properties. Phelps-Tointon also uses the existing gravel access road installed by Vanworks for their trucks exiting the site. Under the layout submitted, Phelps-Tointon's trucks would be cut off from this use. A good solution would be to use option #4 and allow that access to continue in exchange for a cross access agreement and easement to construct a joint access on the property line. Any cross access or joint access will require that na easement and/or easement agreement be submitted prior to final approval of the plans and recording of the plat. • The improvements along Phelps-Tointon apparently were constructed in the wrong location. Per their approved plans, the back of sidewalk was supposed to be along the new r.o.w. line, as dedicated with the Phelps-Tointon replat, with a 4 1/2' parkway strip to the back of curb. What seems to have been constructed and is shown on the Vanworks plans is that the back of sidewalk was placed along the old r.o.w. line which is 7 feet inside the new r.o.w. line. The City wanted Phelps-Tointon to escrow money with the City for the developer's portion of the improvements, rather than construct the improvements since some significant design for the reconstruction of Buckingham Street needs to be done to meet minimum flowline grades. In addition, the City would prefer to construct the improvements as a larger project instead of piecemeal with each development. However, for some reason Phelps-Tointon forged ahead and built the improvements per the old plans approved for Buckingham with the previous North Lemay Subdivision. The City does not want to perpetuate the construction of improvements which are in the wrong place and at substandard flowline grade. Therefore, please design the frontage of Buckingham Street to be an interim design with driveways out to the existing edge of asphalt and a borrow ditch in addition to providing a design (flowline profiles, centerline profile, cross -sections) for the ultimate curb location. The City will collect cash for the Developer's portion of the ultimate improvements to be utilized in a future project to improve Buckingham Street to collector street standards, This will be part of the development agreement for this project. It is desirable to put in the sidewalk to "finish" the edge of the site and to provide for pedestrian needs. However, the sidewalk must be located at the back of the r.o.w. per the old 50' flowline to flowline 68' r.o.w. collector street standard. The sidewalk will have to transition to the existing Phelps-Tointon sidewalk location. If the option described above is chosen to share an access on the common property line, that would be a good location to transition the sidewalk separation. 3/8 Master Improvements and Utility Plan • Same comments as above regarding driveway locations, interim/ultimate improvements along Buckingham Street. 4/8 Buckingham Street Plan and Profile • Same comments as above regarding driveway locations, interim and ultimate improvements for Buckingham Street. • Collector street design includes flowline profiles of both sides of the street and centerline profile(s) (existing and/or proposed and/or future - whichever apply). Want design for proper collector street width (50' flowline to flowline on 68' r.o.w.), minty:mum 0.40% flowline grades, etc. As noted previously - please make sure the existing dedicated r.o.w. on Buckingham Street is accurately reflected (particularly on the north half) 5/8 Cross -Sections for Buckingham Street • Cross -sections need to be re -designed for interim/ultimate cross -sections, proper collector street widths, collector standards, etc. (Phelps Tointon's improvements were built wrong, so do not extend off their design. Their sidewalk, curb, and gutter will have to be removed and reconstructed with a future widening project.) Show future curb line on north side, future crown if different than existing, want 2.00% cross slope on both sides of the road. etc, for standard collector street design. 6/8 Grading Plan & 7/8 Drainage Plan • Provide an interim grading plan for Buckingham Street frontage. • See previous comments regarding Buckingham Street improvements and access 8/8 Detail Sheet • Remove curb and gutter details since none is being built in the r.o.w. or note where the detail applies on site.
