HomeMy WebLinkAboutMEADOWVIEW CAMPUS OF FORT COLLINS - PDP - 2-08 - CORRESPONDENCE - (35)Number: 8 Created: 2/15/2008 [2/15/08] The maximum number of parking spaces allowed is .33 spaces per bed (Section 3.2.2(K)(2)). Assuming one bed per unit, plus an additional bed in each of the 8, two bedroom units, there should be 98 beds. This means the max. number of parking spaces based on beds is only 32. The Code allows an additional parking space for every two employees on the major shift. So in order to be allowed 48 spaces, we'll need to know whether or not there will be at least 32 employees on the major shift. If there won't be that many, then they'll either need to reduce the number of spaces or do alternative compliance per Section 3.2.2(K)(3). Noted. There are now 41 spaces provided. Number: 9 Created: 2/15/2008 [2/15/08] Need to label the depth of the parking stalls in the perimeter parking rows. Done Number: 10 Created: 2/15/2008 [2/15/08] Is there going to be a trash enclosure or compactor? If so, show location. Yes - Done. Number: 11 Created: 2/15/2008 [2/15/08] Need a bike rack or racks. Done. Number: 12 Created: 2/15/2008 (2/15/08] There are 2 project signs shown on the site plan along Triangle Drive which don't appear to be attached to the building. Therefore they are monument signs. This is in the residential neighborhood sign district, where only one such sign is allowed along each street. Also, since this is in the neighborhood sign district, any proposed wall sign locations must be shown. There will be one monument sign and one wall sign. Locations noted on Site Plan. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Yours Truly, Steve Olt City Planner Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 57 Created: 2/28/2008 [2/28/08) The drainage study needs to compare the previous drainage study's flows into the existing detention pond with the proposed flows under the current rainfall standards and proposed impervious areas. The proposed flows need to be equal or less than to what was calculated in the original study in 1997. If the proposed flows are higher, than additional quantity detention would be required. Noted. Calculations provided in Drainage Report Number: 58 Created: 2/28/2008 [2/28/08] Water quality is required for this site. Water quality was not included in the 1997 drainage study. Water quality volume should be in addition to the quantity detention. This will also require the addition of a water quality outlet structure per the City's standard detail. Noted.

Unless the Building Department determines that the portions of the building which appears to have 4 stories are really only 3 stones with a garden level/basement, then I don't believe what's shown meets code.

Don:, Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Langenberger Topic: General Number: 14 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/081 The Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) for this project was not calculated correctly on the application that was submitted with the project. There are two ways that the application fee can be calculated and to know which way would be more beneficial (cheaper) to the applicant we need some additional information. The fee can be calculated by just using the square footage of the project, the acreage and the flat $2000. Calculating the fee this way the application fee would be: (90,000 sq ft x .25 cents/ sq ft) + (3.86 acres x $250/ sq ft) + $2,000 = $ 25,465 Calculating the fee this way the applicant owes $10, 825 more for the submittal. See attached letter from Fred Fuller, Project Liaison 2. The fee can be calculated by using a combination of square footage and number of dwelling units in the project. We do not have enough information at this time to be able to fully calculate the fee in this manner, but the formula to do so would be as follows: (57 dwelling units (units that have kitchens) x $115/ unit) + ((total building square footage — the square footage area of the 57 dwelling units) x .25 cents/ sq ft) + (3.86 acres x $250/ sq ft) + $2,000 = the total fee. If you have questions on how to calculate the fees please call Sheri Langenberger at 221- 6605. Please provide a check for $10,825 or the difference of the other calculation from what was paid at the time of next submittal. If you choose to go with the second calculation we will Number: 20 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/081 Please clearly label and dimension the existing ROW on College and on Triangle on the Dimension Control Plan, Sheet C2.

Du, Number: 47 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] Section 4.6(E)(1)(d) of the Land Use Code limits the building height to a maximum of 3 stories in the MMN - Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District, except that portion of a building within a 50' radius of the right-of-way of any street intersection (except arterial/arterial) may contain an additional fourth story. No portion of the proposed building is within 50 of the South College Avenue (arterial) and Triangle Drive (collector) intersection. Therefore, based on the Elevations Plans, it would appear to be necessary for the applicant to request a modification of the standard in the aforementioned section of the code. Similar to the previous comment (#46), a modification request must be based on the criteria set forth in Section 2.8.2(H) of the Land Use Code. See attached letter from Fred Fuller, Project Liaison.
