HomeMy WebLinkAboutCHICK-FIL-A, MINOR AMENDMENT - MA0900004 - CORRESPONDENCE - DRAINAGE REPORT (4)Sincerely, *SteveAOY1't,"W Project Planner cc: Andrew Carney Peter Barnes Allen Ginsborg, NewMark Merrill Steve Lewis, Chick-Fil-A Inc. Current Planning, Minor Amendment file #0900004 3) The standard parking stall depth is indicated to be 18'. 19' is the required depth unless the stall abutts a 6' wide sidewalk. The abutting walk is only 5' wide, therefore the walk needs to be widened or the stall depth needs to be increase a foot. 4) The menu board must be screened from the street so that it's not visible. Otherwise, it is a regulated freestanding sign, and the center has all the signs their allowed on Horsetooth Road. I don't believe that the proposed landscaping along Horsetooth Road extends far enough to the east to adequately "hide" the sign, and the proposed shrubs should be at least 3' tall. However, they shouldn't be taller than 3' because of their location close to Horsetooth Road. The applicant may want to consider attaching the sign to the building wall so that's it's a wall sign instead of a freestanding sign. As a wall sign, it can be angled some, however if it projects more than 12" from the wall, then it is a projecting wall sign and is limited to 15 square feet maximum. 5) The enhanced crosswalk proposed to connect to the existing pedestrian ramp in the existing parking lot is fine for those customers who park in the rows abutting the existing parking lot sidewalk. For those customers who park in other rows, they'll be crossing the existing drive -aisle haphazzardly. Thought should be given to do some more enhanced crosswalks to try and better define a pedestrian traffic pattern across the drive aisle. 6) Light fixtures must be shielded and down directional. Note on plans references electrical plans. Since those plans aren't a part of the development plan, and a note stating the light sources will be shielded and down directional. 7) Expand the note about "signage under separate permit" to state that signage will comply with sign code. 8) Deciduous trees are required in landscape islands (Sec. 3.2.1(E)(5)). Landscape Plan must also provide for "full tree stocking" per Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c)and with the other applicable provisions of 3.2.1(D)(1) and (2). 9) Show dimensions of drive-thru canopy on Site Plan. 10) Show trash enclosure detail, i.e. materials, height. Another round of review is necessary, addressing these staff comments, before the Minor Amendment can be fully approved. Please re -submit the number of copies of each document as indicated on the attached REVISIONS ROUTING SHEET to the Development Review Center. 2 L 2) Please provide a drainage letter documenting the new impervious area with this proposal with what is existing. Also, explain the proposed drainage for this site and provide any calculations necessary to back up the design. 3) The City's Land Use Code requires all new development or redevelopment to provide water quality treatment. Please provide water quality treatment for the impervious areas of the site. This may require a meeting to coordinate what will be required. 4) If the amount of impervious area is greater than 350 square feet a Stormwater Plant Investment Fee will be assessed. Also, a SW Review fee will be charged in the amount of $334.47. Water/Wastewater comments — Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854 1) The existing 1-inch water to the Nate's building connects to the existing 6-inch .water main approximately 6 feet north of the fire hydrant near the NW corner of the building. This service may be re -used which will eliminate the need to trench across Horsetooth Road. A curb stop and meter pit needs to be located in the NW part of the site in a landscaped area. 2) The existing sewer service to the Nate's building connects to the existing manhole located east of the SE comer of the building. It may be advantageous to also re- use this point of connection. 3) Please call Roger Buffington at (970)221-6854 to discuss these first two comments. 4) Label all sewer service clean -outs as "traffic rated". 5) Add the following Standard Details to the utility plans: Water Service, 1-inch Meter Pit and Traffic Rated Clean -Outs. 6) See red -lined utility plans for additional comments. 7) Return the red -lined plans with the re -submittal. Zoning comments — Peter Barnes. 970-416-2355 1) The site plan, sheet C2.0, is too cluttered. Remove as many utility -related items and just show them on the utility plan and as many non -essential items/notes as possible (i.e. #'s 10, 43,13, 14, 37, 23, 24,17A, 17B, 29, 30). 2) The flag pole can't exceed 40'. Only a normal size national or state flag can be flown on it. 5 building), the applicant can choose one of two options: Either mount approved address numerals on both the College Avenue (east) side of the structure AND on the main entrance (south) side, OR mount the address on just the main entrance side of the structure but also include "College Ave." (no quotation marks) along with the numerals. ALSO: As I mentioned during Staff Review, all plans must be corrected to show the correct address of the structure. 2006 International Fire Code 505.1 City Forester comments — Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361 1) Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, met on -site with David Kasprzak of BHA Design and Steve Olt of City Current Planning to discuss existing trees. It was determined that 4 existing trees will have to be removed and Tim provided David with the mitigation requirements for each tree. Environmental Planner comments — Dana Leavitt, 970-224-6143 1) Mugo Pines are not an appropriate plant for the 5� wide planting bed between the driving lane and the side walk. 2) Existing trees on the property may require review and evaluation by Tim Buchanan, City Forester, 224- 6361. Contact Mr. Buchanan to discuss your property. 3) Any trash enclosures proposed for the project shall comply with Section 3.2.5 of the Land Use Code. Please provide elevation and details on the materials and size. 4) Demolition of the existing structure should consider deconstruction as a means to recycle construction materials and reduce the amount of debris being transported and dumped at the county landfill.

National Center for Craftsmanship, 970-215-4587, 1931 East County Road 58, Fort Collins, CO 80524 Stormwater comments — Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418 1) Permission from the Larimer County No. 2 Canal irrigation company and an off - site drainage easement is required for the new storm sewer that is draining into the irrigation ditch. 0 12) Please label all details on the plan clearly. As shown, the plans are very cluttered. 13) Please remove all non -applicable notes from the plan. 14) Please show the approximate limits of any proposed street cuts and patches. Also include the City's street cut note: Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field but the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards. 15) It appears that the traffic that is stopped to order in the drive through lane will block the pedestrian access to Horsetooth Road. Is this the case? 16) A signature block for the ditch company will be required on the Utility Plans since you are affecting the canal. 17) A demolition sheet in the Utility Plans may be very beneficial since there is existing infrastructure on the site. 18) From Technical Services: Scanning issues on the Site, Landscape, and Utility Plans. 19) More detailed comments to follow with the submittal of a Utility Plan Set. Poudre Fire Authority comments — Carie Dann, 970-416-2869 1) COMMERCIAL COOKING FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM: With the production of grease -laden vapors, an approved, automatic fire -extinguishing system shall be provided for the protection of commercial -type cooking equipment. 2006 International Fire Code 904.2.1; 609.2; 904.11.2 2) OCCUPANT LOAD SIGN Any room or space having an occupant load of 50 or more and which is used for assembly purposes, shall have the capacity of the room posted in a conspicuous place on an approved sign near the main exit or exit access doorway from the room or space. Such sign shall be maintained legible by the owner or the owner's authorized agent and shall indicate the number of occupants permitted for each room use. 2006 International Fire Code 1004.3 3) ADDRESS NUMERALS Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum six-inch high numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). PLEASE NOTE: Because the building will not front College Avenue (front door will be on south side of 3 Light & Power comments — Doug Martine, 970-224-6152 1) Applicant will be responsible for Light & Power costs. These are estimated to be $9,000 to relocate the electric transformer plus $2100 per additional 100 amps of electric service (over the existing 600 amps). Please contact Light & Power, Engineering, at 221-6700, to coordinate power requirements. Engineering comments — Andrew Carney, 970-221-6605 1) Engineering will require the submittal of Utility Plans for this project. Please refer to the Requirements for Utility Plans checklist in Appendix E-4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) for what information will be required. u 2) Please clearly label all on -site details as: "on -site" 3) Please clearly dimension all parking stalls and drive isles. See Figure 19-7 in LCUASS for parking stall requirements. 4) Please clearly label what is existing and what is proposed. 5) Please clearly label what is vertical curb and gutter and what roll-over or other type. 6) Please include details 701, 706, 1407, 1601, 1602, 1606A, 1607, and D10 or D11. 7) The areas shown on the landscape, site, and utility plans must match. 8) Although it is on the site, I am concerned about the narrow drive through isle width. What does the turning template look like for the proposed traffic flow? Neither the entry or exit movements on the drive through align with an existing drive isle. The U-turn movement from the drive -through exit to the access on Horsetooth Road looks extremely tight and may pose a safety concern. Also, in the drive -through lane are you proposing vertical or roll-over curb? 9) There is an area inlet shown at the drive -through entrance that looks to be directly in the wheel path of vehicles entering - consider moving it to the center of the drive isle. 10) What are the dashed lines shown on the proposed sidewalks and why are they shown? 11) It appears that you are showing a loading dock area on the northwest corner of the building. Taking access across the existing drive isle so close to Horsetooth Road may cause a safety concern. What exactly is proposed to happen in that area? 2 .1 1 of Fortins February 12, 2009 David Kasprzak BHA Design Inc. 1603 Oakridge Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525 Planning, Development and Transportation Services Current Planning 281 N. College Ave. PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax kgo v. com/currentplanning Re: Chick-Fil-A @ Cottonwood Centers, Minor Amendment #0900004 Current Planning comments — Steve Olt, 970-221-6341 1) The Site Plan as submitted is really more of a utility plan with too much unrelated information. Please see the requirements for a Site Plan and an example of a Site Plan, both being forwarded to the applicant. 2) How wide is the planting strip between the drive -through lane and the sidewalk along the west side of the property? 3) Signature blocks for the Owner, Notary Public (or Attorney), and the Director of Planning must be included on the Site Plan. See examples. 4) Applicable Tree Protection and Landscape Materials & Maintenance information from the Land Use Code (Section 3.2.1) are being forwarded to the applicant. This information must be included on the Landscape Plan. 5) The proposed Mugo Pines being proposed between the drive -through lane and West Horsetooth Road are probably not the best plant material in this location. A good evergreen material, to get 3' - 4' high with a 4' - 6' spread, should be used to provide the necessary screening of the drive -through from Horsetooth Road, especially providing adequate screening of headlights in the drive -through from Horsetooth. 6) It is my recollection from the site visit with Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, and David Kasprzak of BHA Design that there are 4 existing trees on -site to be removed and mitigated for. Only 3 are shown on the Landscape Plan. 7) Please submit revised Site & Landscape plans for review before the Minor Amendment can be approved.
