HomeMy WebLinkAboutPAWS OF THE ROCKIES - PDP - 29-06 - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)Have you looked at trying to tie into the system to the north? If that route is pursued, you could partner with potential development to the west and could gain some grad for the sanitary sewer. There could be a conflict between the proposed sewer/storm lines and the existing water main on the south side of Harmony. Have the easements through the First National Bank property been obtained? Will need letter of intent prior to hearing. Please add a 20 foot wide utility easement to the area on the north and east side of the detention pond where the sanitary line goes through Topic: Light and Power Number: 32 Created: 11 /17/2006 [11/9106] Same comments as entered by Rob Irish on 4/7/06 Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 2 Created: 11 /6/2006 [11/6/06] Indicate building dimensions and distance to nearest property lines.

Aspeny G /� City Planner Page 6 Department: Traffic Operations Issue Contact: Eric Bracke Topic: Traffic Number: 1 Created: 11 /1 /2006 [11/1/06]The traffic study is acceptable. The access location on Harmony Road is in the general vicinity recommended in the Harmony Road Access Control Plan. However, future access to the property west of the site needs to be identified and provided for. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: Technical Services - Plat Number: 26 Created: 11 /16/2006 [11/16/06] Please double check and label all sidewalk dimensions - particularly for those walks that are adjacent to head -in parking (these should be a minimum of 6' wide). Number: 27 Created: 11 /16/2006 [11/16/06] As discussed at Staff Review - the cross access to the parcel west of this project is not optimum, but is satisfactory. Please keep me abreast of any changes to the site plan that may allow us to improve the alignment. Thanks.

A drainage easement is needed through the First National Bank property. Please detail on the plans what the proposed storm line will be tied to, it looks like it is draining into the existing driveway, which might cause icing problems. Please discuss how much street flows. from Harmony.are entering pond. Please provide a drainage plan with appropriate basin designations sizes and limits. Number: 30 Created: 11 /17/2006 [11/14/061 Proposed sanitary line seems extremely shallow, less than 2.5 feet of cover provided, this will cause freezing problems.

Topic: Wastewater Number: 28 Created: 11 /16/2006 [11/16/06] [11/14/06] Proposed sanitary line seems extremely shallow, less than 2.5 feet of cover provided, this will cause freezing problems. Need to discuss alternatives such as increasing cover and adding insulation in order to make this alternative acceptable to the City. No details were provided for the construction of the sewer line through the existing irrigation line. Please provide appropriate details. Page 5 clearly show how the proposed cross lot access will provide a realistic route of travel to the front of that existing building.

Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 3 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT: Where are the Emergency Access Easements? They must be included on the plat before I can address comment 11 from the PDR and Troy's response. Also, related to Troy's response, he wrote that the EAE is within 150 feet of driveway length from Timberline ... instead, that should be Harmony Road. Number: 4 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] WEIGHT LIMIT: A note on the site plan states that the "conc channel" will be removed and backfilled. Does this mean the CMP culvert will no longer exist? If the culvert still will exist and is part of a drive aisle/access to other properties, if it cannot hold at least 40 tons, a weight -limit sign shall be erected providing maximum weight limit. Number: 5 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] FDC: Fire department connections shall be installed remote from the buildings, and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access or as otherwise approved by the fire code official, and easily accessible for fire department operation. 2006 International Fire Code 912.2.1 and PFA Bureau Policy Number: 6 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] CORRECTION: Pertaining to PFA comment 13 from the PDR - I should have stated that the fire hydrant on the property to the WEST is not usable, not to the EAST. Page 4 Number: 36 Created: 11/17/2006 [11/17/06] At your preliminary design review, we talked about streamlining the sidewalks along Harmony to avoid duplication. Did you look into that? Is it possible? Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 39 Created: 11 /17/2006 [11/17/06] Depending on which elevations are which on the plans (they are mislabeled) I have a concern about using the non -down directional fixture. It might work on a hipped roof where there is soffit on all sides to shield the light. But since this is a pitched gable roof, there will be light glare in two directions from the fixture, which in not acceptable either for drivers on Harmony or for residents behind.

Topic: Utility Plan Number: 16 Created: 11 /15/2006 [11/15106] Cross lot access is still an issue to the property on the west as it relates to the location of the existing building. I will defer to David Averill's comments regarding cross lot access. Please show existing improvements - loading docks - on the westerly property and Page 3 Number: 12 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District have reviewed the project and comment as follows: "The existing water line located along Harmony Road is a 10-inch, AC water line. The connection to the existing water line needs to be identified as a tapping valve and tapping saddle. The following notes are to be added: +All water line construction shall conform to the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District standards and specifications current to the date of construction. +The minimum and maximum depth of cover over the water line is 5 feet and 6 feet respectively, unless otherwise noted. +A note indicating that the District requires a Back -Flow -Prevention Device with flow detection on the riser of the fire line needs to be added. The District will require easements on the District's standard easement form for all facilities that are not located within the public right-of-way.

D FORT COLLINS, CO 80524 Staff has reviewed your submittal for PAWS OF THE ROCKIES PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Anne Aspen Topic: General Number: 8 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06) The following departments or agencies have indicated that they have no concerns with the project as proposed: Comcast, Park Planning, and Water Conservation. Number: 9 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] The Ditch Company comments as follows: "Our bylaws require the prepayment of a review fee of $500." Number: 10 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] Natural Resources comments as follows: "The applicant has consulted with a local wildlife professional (Mike Phalen, Cedar Creek Associates) who is very familiar with wildlife impacts caused by development. The applicant presents valid reasons for allowing the reduction in the buffer along the ditch, with proposed mitigation for the impacts. The proposed berming and plantings are good mitigation measures, but they need to alter their plant list slightly. Barberries and staghorn sumac are not native to Fort Collins and these species can become quite invasive. Native substitutes can be found in Fort Collins Native Plants: Plant Characteristics and Wildlife Value of Commercial Species, which is available on the City Website(http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativepi.pdo. It is very unfortunate that two large cottonwoods on the site will need to be removed -they are extremely valuable wildlife trees, but the applicant has consulted with a professional arborist and the City Forester has approved removal. I do find it interesting that they are proposing an animal hospital, but have very little outdoor space provided to walk dogs and to allow the dogs to relieve themselves before, after, and during their visit to the hospital. This will certainly be needed." Number: 11 Created: 11 /14/2006 [11/14/06] Xcel Energy comments as follows: " Will need to make sure that Xcel maintain access to reg station. If possible we would like to see building envelope for Lot 3 moved 5 feet away from PSCO easement and reg station for safety reasons. Page 1
