HomeMy WebLinkAboutCHICK-FIL-A, MINOR AMENDMENT - MA0900004 - CORRESPONDENCE - (26)M
LIGHT & POWER (Doug Martine, 970-224-6152):
OK (approved) as of 1/20/09 .....
Applicant will be responsible for Light & Power costs. These are estimated to be
$9,000 to relocate the electric transformer plus $2,100 per additional 100 amps of
electric service (over the existing 600 amps). Please contact Light & Power
Engineering at 221-6700 to coordinate power requirements.
2. The front side of the electric transformer will face toward the building. The
landscaping in front of the transformer needs to be low, ground cover type, that is
not over 6 inches tall. It appears that the Landscape Plan needs to be modified to
provide this.
The plans (Site, Landscape, Exterior Elevations, and Refuse Enclosure) must be changed
to address staff s comments before the mylars can be submitted for approval. I need
communication (OK's in the City's Accela system or e-mails) from the City departments
indicating that their comments/concerns have been addressed before mylars will be
accepted.
Sincerely,
Steve Olt,
Project Planner

property.

ENGINEERING (Andrew Carney, 970-221-6605):
Comments as of 3/30/09 .....
Please take another look at the Requirements for Utility Plans checklist in
Appendix E-4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) for
the Utility plan requirements. Also, take note of the specific sections noted on the
red -lined plans.
2. Please include the following details from LCUASS on the Utility Plans: 701, 706,
1407, 1601, and D10 or DI I from Stormwater.
3. Please see red -lined plans for additional comments.

WATER/WASTEWATER (Roger Buffuington, 970-221-6854):
Comments as of 3/27/09 .....
Add a valve on the fire line at the connection to the 24-inch water main and revise
the note as follows: 24" x 4" tapping saddle with thrust block and 4" gate valve.
2. Show and call out a 1" curb stop on the upstream side of the meter pit as shown in
the Standard Detail 15.
3. Add the City's traffic rated clean -out detail (Standard Detail WW-15).
4. See red -lined plans for other comments.
ZONING (Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355):
Hold as of 3/19/09 .....
1. The comment response letter indicates that the flag pole has been lowered from
50' to 30', but I don't see a note on the plans indicating the new height. Please
indicate the flag pole height on the plan.
2. It appears that it is feasible to plant a deciduous tree in the island where the flag
pole is located and in the planting area at the northwest corner of the site.
STORMWATER ENGINEERING (Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418):
Comments as of 3/30/09 .....
Easements and approval is still needed for the outfall into the canal and for the
retaining wall in the ditch company's easement/right-of-way. A signature block
on the plans for the Ditch Owner to sign is required as well.
2. All drainage improvements required for this development need to be included on
the plans. This includes details for the inlets, headwall, riprap, 4-foot drainage
pan, and any other improvements proposed.
3. An Erosion Control Plan is required with all the construction details proposed in
the plan.
4. The proposed retaining wall in the canal needs to be designed with more detail
with TOW and BOW elevations. Please provide a cross-section as well at this
location perpendicular to the ditch. A retaining wall detail is also required. This
wall will most likely be reinforced concrete.
5. Please provide a detail for the water quality snout.
3
2. The 2 notes within the building as shown on the Site Plan, about brick/stone
veneer and slab, can/should be removed from the plan. .
3. On the Site Plan, Setbacks under PROJECT DATA, the only setback this building
is subject to is the "build -to" line setback from West Horsetooth Road. That
distance is 10' - 25' from the right-of-way (ROW) line for Horsetooth Road. The
building as shown satisfies that, being 23' from the ROW line.
4. There are several discrepancies between the Landscape Plan and the Plant List on
the plan ..... Blue Star Juniper - Plant List shows 9 and only 6 on plan; Fanfare
Dwarf Blanket Flower - Plant List shows 20 and there are 21 on plan; Sweet
Woodruff - Plant List shows 20 and only 15 on plan; White Coral Bells - Plant
List shows 20 and there are 22 on plan; Deep Blue Lavender - Plant List shows
93 and there are 104 on plan.
Current Planning is ready for mylars of the plans once these conditions and comments
have been addressed and incorporated on the plans.
POUDRE FIRE AUTHORITY (Carie Dann, 970-416-2869):
OK with Conditions (approved) as of 3/26/09 .....
1. AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS
I spoke with Zac Ayala from Merrick about the fire -sprinkler requirements.
Because the restaurant will be an A-2 Occupancy with an occupant load of 100 or
more, the building is required to be equipped with an approved automatic fire -
sprinkler system. 2006 International Fire Code 903.2.1.2
2. FIRE LINE
Utility plans must show the automatic fire sprinkler line (typically labeled "fire
line") coming to the building. Currently, the utility plans show an existing fire
hydrant and water coming from the water main to the hydrant; this is labeled
"approximate location of existing water line". This is confusing. The plans need to
show the fire hydrant and the water main (and the connection) but also a spinkler
line for the fire sprinklers. Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered must
have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a
smaller fire line. NFPA 13 (2007) 23.1.3
3. KEY BOXES REQUIRED
Poudre Fire Authority requires a key box ("Knox Box") to be mounted in
approved location(s) on every new building equipped a required fire -sprinkler
system or fire -alarm system. 2006 International Fire Code 506.1; PFA BUREAU
POLICY 88-20

City staff's comments relating to the Chick-Fil-A at South College Avenue and West
Horsetooth Road, Minor Amendment - #MA0900004 are as follows:
CURRENT PLANNING (Steve Olt, 970-221-6341):
OK with Conditions (approved) as of 3/25/09 .....
Conditions:
L. Add height (proposed 30') of flag pole on Site Plan.
2. Add note to Site Plan: "Light sources shall be shielded and down directional".
3. Add 2 shade trees to Landscape Plan, 1 in the landscaped island on the east side
of the drive-thru entry (where flag pole is) and 1 in the landscaped area at the
northwest corner of the Chick-Fil-A site.
4. There are 3 scanning issues that must be resolved (TECHNICAL SERVICES):
* Sheet A-2.1, (2) Drive-Thru Elevation - there is one detail reference that
is laid over the stonework above the door that is difficult to read.
* Sheet A-3.4, (2) Floor Plan - there are 2 "line over" text situations that
must be changed (Pipe Bollards, 0'-0" Top of Concrete Paving).
* Sheet A-3.4, (4) SIDE ELEVATION - the "ghosting" line is over the
word ELEVATIONS.
Comments:
1. What is the 8.5' dimension on the west side of the site, on the sidewalk between
the drive-thru lane and the drive entry into the shopping center?

David and Allen,
Attached is a comment letter dated March 30, 2009 with current comments from Andrew Carney, Engineering
and Wes Lamarque, Stormwater regarding the Chick-Fil-A, Minor Amendment. These comments have been
received since I sent you a letter yesterday. It is my opinion that City staff comments are now complete. You now
have current comments from Poudre Fire Authority, Water/Wastewater, Zoning, Light & Power, and myself, as
well as the 2 departments previously mentioned.
Although the comment letter does not include any new comments from Jean Pakech, Stormwater Fees, her
previous comment (2/05/09) reflects a general comment for your information. The previous comments (2/11/09)
received from Dana Leavitt, Environmental Planner, have been addressed with your resubmittal and meeting
with Tim Buchanan, City Forester, regarding the off -site tree mitigation.
There is 1 set of red -lined plans, from Andrew Carney, that you can pick up at the Development Review Center
counter, along with hard -copies of the comment letter.
It is my opinion that we can move to mylars for the project when the comments/concerns expressed in this letter
are satisfied.
Steve Olt,
