HomeMy WebLinkAboutLIBERTY FARMS - PDP - 31-06A - CORRESPONDENCE - (10)Number: 85 Created: 9/15/2007 [9/15/07] The reverse curves used in the northwest corner of the Rbt need to be revised to eliminate the curve C12 (as shown on pg 2 of the Plat). Vehicles do not follow a path such as the curb is shown. They will straighten it out. It becomes excess pavement collecting trash and debris. While this curve will not be necessary for vehicles entering the roundabout from the north, it will be necessary for vehicles navigating the circle from the south or east. Number: 86 Created: 9/15/2007 [9/15/07] Please provide fastest path info indicating the expected circulating speed of the Rbt. We will submit our calculations for the roundabout design separately. This information probably should not be included on the construction plans. 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. Sincerely, Shelby Sommer Associate City Planner Page 16 This information is now on the plans.

Number: 71 Created: 8/31 /2007 [8/31/07] As discussed at the staff review meeting, some street stubs may be shortened and money escrowed for future construction to avoid building turn- arounds. Detailed engineered cost estimates will be required for review.of those portions of streets not constructed. Full design is still required and off -site preliminary design as well. Full street design is being provided, but the revised plans are proposing paving dead ends at a later date. Type 3 barricades are provided just after the drive entrances. Since the tracts provide access easements for the lots, they will allow the public to utilize the parking areas as turn around areas. Number: 72 Created: 8/31 /2007 [8/31/07] Please consult with JR in Technical services regarding street naming conflicts. Dickerson Road has been renamed to Collamer Road.

Please revise or submit a variance request with justification. Will the private drives be named? Please consult with PFA for naming and addressing on private drives. Per September 6 staff review, given the site constraints staff agreed to allow an engineering variance to the private drive spacing on Cherryhurst. In addition, it was agreed that all buildings can be addressed off either Cherryhurst Road or Collamer Road. As a result the private drives will not be named.

Number: 23 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] Please provide review comments from Boxelder Sanitation and Elco Water District with your next submittal. It was understood that the City forwarded plans to the appropriate agencies. Since this was not the case, these agencies are reviewing the revised plans and we will submit review comments when they are received from them. Number: 24 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] Plat Cover Sheet - Please provide a different vicinity map that shows one -line named streets and project location without shading and topography. The vicinity map will not scan well and does not comply with LCUASS Appendix E. The vicinity map has been revised. Number: 25 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The proposed street layout does not comply with section 3.6.3.f for street stub connections at no more than 660 feet measured along the project boundary to developable parcels. Please provide a street stub connection every 660 feet or request for modification based on justification. Per September 6 staff review, two pedestrian connections are provided from the developments pedestrian network to the property to the south. Given the Larimer and Weld Canal on the north, it was agreed that no additional connections are required on the north other than provisions for extension of Collamer Road when the adjacent north property is developed. Number: 26 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The proposed street stub connections do not comply with City Land Use Code Section 3.6.6.D.4.f.2 for dead ends. No dead end may exceed 660. feet without standard cul-de-sac turn arounds provided. Please also see comments from PFA for access and dead end lengths. Decision has been made that we are not required to build extension/turn around for Collamer beyond the north edge of round about, given the length of the dead end is less than 150' A modification of standards is included with this resubmittal to address the dead-end created for Cherryhurst Road east of the round about and Collamer Road south of the round about.

Horizontal masses shall not exceed a height:width ratio of 1:3 without substantial variation in massing that includes a change in height and a projecting or recessed elements. The Rectangular and V Shaped Building types are especially problematic and need more variation in the large horizontal massing, but all of the elevations could use some work. Additional detail has been provided for the elevations. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: Site Plan Number: 63 Created: 8/29/2007 [8/29/07] Natural Area buffer,for the canal is not being met. During a site visit in June, it was agreed that an average 50' buffer would be appropriate. With the inclusion of two emergency access drives located within the buffer, this approach will need to be re-evaluated. Per the September 6 review with city staff, several changes have been made. The emergency access roads have been removed from the plan per agreement with PFA. Further, the parking area on the northwest portion of site has been modified to maintain at least a 25' minimum buffer, with an average buffer exceeding 50'. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer Topic: Technical services Number: 79 Created: 9/4/2007 [9/4/07] Although the street names were selected from the approved street name list for Arterial/Collector streets, Dickerson is too similar to other street names in use. Please select another name from the approved street name list and then we will cross-reference it with the existing names to make sure there isn't another conflict. Thanks. Dickerson Road has been renamed to Collamer Road. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Randy Maizland Topic: Engineering Number: 22 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The Utility Plan set is incomplete. Review comments are only as complete as the information provided. No street design plans were included for Timberline Road. Several plan and profile sheets do not have a profile design provided. Page 6 this is a step in the right direction, it appears that patios have been proposed on each building that does not meet the requirement as a means to avoid the standard. In order for this alternative to be considered you'll need to provide information as to how these patios add pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity along the sidewalk. At this stage I don't see how these patios are an acceptable alternative to the build -to standard. Per discussion with city staff September 6, the buildings on the south portion of the development have been reconfigured to face Collamer Road, in response to this concern. Number: 12 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The majority of the proposed buildings have footprints greater than 10,000 square feet. Per Division 4.5(E)(2)(1) for any building with a footprint in excess of 10,000 sq. ft., walls that are greater than 75 feet in length shall incorporate recesses or projections created by wall plane returns of at least 30 feet; any such building shall be differentiated into multiple sections of mass in order to achieve proportions that are compatible in scale with adjacent residential neighborhoods. Please revise plans so that walls over 75 feet in length are recessed/projected as specified in this section. The building elevations appear to do this, but it is not clear on the site plan if you are actually satisfying this standard. Additional detail has been provided for the building elevations and the site plan building footprints to meet the building standards. Number: 48 Created: 8/28/2007 [8/28/07] Please clearly define the small neighborhood park area on the site plan. The location of the park should be a highly visible area formed by the street layout and pattern of lots and easily observed from streets. As proposed, the park does not accomplish this standard as it is not visible from any street, with the exception of Timberline. Please see Division 4.5(D)(6) for Small Neighborhood Park standards. The site design has been modified to make the park more visible from Cherryhurst Road. These changes include re -orientation of the Lot 8 building and modification of the parking and pedestrian paths on the north side of the park. Topic: Building Elevations Number: 13 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The base treatments on the buildings need to be a little more recognizable and defined. For "L" and Building Type 1 it appears to be cultured stone, but for the "Rectangular" and ' V" shaped building, there is no defined base treatment - the cultured stone actually extends all the way up to the second floor in some areas. Also, please label the maximum building height on the elevations. Additional detail has been provided for the elevations. Page 5 Landscape material size and species will be specified in final plans. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 15 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] FYI - "Tracts" is misspelled on the lighting plan statistics table. Otherwise, lighting plan looks fine. This has been corrected. The plan was updated to the new site plan. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: Plat Number: 65 Created: 8/29/2007 [8/29/07] A note will be required on the plat explaining the allowable uses within the natural area buffer zone. The following note has been added to the plat. "Allowable uses within the natural area buffer zone Latimer and Weld Canal are defined by Fort Collins Land Use Code 3.4.1(e)." Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer Topic: Site Plan Number: 8 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] Please clearly identify which buildings/units will be used for Independent Living facilities. Per the definition of Independent Living in the Land Use Code, such facilities must occupy no more than 25 percent of the total GROSS AREA of a long-term care development. Please include calculations confirming the total gross area of the independent living facility with respect to the total gross site area of the whole development. Per discussions with Shelby Sommer and Peter Barnes, it was determined the 25% calculation can be based either on total gross area or total floor space. Given the mix of uses and difficulty in specifying the specific gross area attributable to the independent living uses, it was decided to use floor space as the basis for this determination.

Number: 19 Created: 8/27/2007 [8/27/07] The parking lot west of Tract C does not appear to feature any interior landscaping - 6% interior landscaping is required. Per discussion with city staff September 6, it was determined this parking lot does meet the intent of interior landscaping. Measuring the parking lot as being 63 feet wide (as measured between back of head -in parking curbs) and 131 feet in length (measured from back of curb on north side to back of street walk on south side) total parking area. is 8,253 square feet. The four landscape areas in each corner of lot are 1,192 square feet, resulting in landscaping in 14.4% of parking lot.

Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Created: 8/29/2007 Native plant species will be required within the Page 3 1. There must be maintained a maintenance and operation road on the south side of the ditch (the low side) that is at least 25 feet wide from the edge of the ditch perpendicularly measured out. In scaling off the drawings it appears to me that along a portion of the northeasterly corner of this subdivision, primarily along Tract C and a portion of Lot 4 that the access road has not been provided at a width of 25 feet. Per phone conversation September 20 with Mayo Sommermeyer, current plan is acceptable as long as buildings and/or improvements do not encroach into the 25 feet access road buffer measured from top of ditch. It is acceptable for lot lines to encroach upon the 25' access road buffer. The current road will not be improved by the ditch company. -2. There should be some type of fencing along the northerly boundary.of the subdivision to keep out or discourage people from the subdivision from accessing the ditch maintenance road and the irrigation ditch. The ditch at that point is quite wide and carries a large amount of water. If a person or animal were to find themselves in the ditch when we are running a full ditch it is likely they may not survive. A fence also keeps the ditch bank and the ditch shelf from being a depository for unwanted personal items or yard refuse. Per review. with Dana Leavitt, a 4 foot high rail fence with wire mesh is provided along Larimer and Weld Canal border. This requirement was discussed with Mayo Sommermeyer and received his verbal approval. By way of caution, the developer should be aware of the fact that there is probably some degree of "seep" from this ditch when it is running. There are many areas along the ditch where there is significant seep, which may have an effect on how foundations, barrier walls, and other construction details are approached and handles. It will be recommended by me that the developer confer with our ditch superintendent, Mr. Bill Johnson, at 222-0090 to determine what seep history there may be in that area. Acknowledged. .
