Number: 64 Created: 10 / 31 / 2007 [10/31/07] The store access onto Vicot does not align correctly with the opposing street across Vicot. The offset is to the more problematic direction for left turning vehicles. This alignment issue needs to be corrected.

[4/ 10/07] Please provide the notes as shown in Appendix E2 in addition to E1. Topic: Utility Plans - Grading Number: 54 Created: 10/29/2007 [10/29/07] Please dimension all sidewalks, drive aisles and parking stalls. Ok to label one as "typical" and then dimension only what is different. Page 6 Number: 7 Created: 4/9/2007 [10/29/071 Carrying this comment forward as a reminder to all (including me!). The next East Ridge submittal will need to revise their plans to show the new median in Sykes as well as redesign Sykes in order to accommodate the median shown with this project. Sheet 3 of the utility plans currently shows the water and sewer being installed with this project. If so, will need to show the approximate limits of the street cut and provide the street cut note. Is there any way that these utilities can be stubbed out with the East Ridge Development? We really would prefer not to have a brand new street cut into and it would save you the triple street cut fees. Let me know. [4/9/07] All plan sets need to be designed as if East Ridge has been built out so show everything that is to be built by East Ridge as existing (greyscale) and black for everything that this project is proposing to be built. Will need to provide stub outs for all utilities on the East Ridge plans and then show as existing on this plan set OR show as proposed with this development and show all appropriate street cuts. Keep in mind that any street cut within 5 years of installation or rehab requires triple street cut fees. Number: 8 Created: 4 / 9 / 2007 [10/29/07] Carrying this comment forward as a reminder to all (including me!) . [4/9/07] This project can not complete the DA or receive an approved set of mylars until the East Ridge improvements have been completed. If this project needs to go sooner, than it will be responsible for constructing all street frontage plus the offsite design as required by LCUASS, chapter 7. Number: 48 Created: 10 / 29 / 2007 [10/29/07] The curb return radii off a local street for the driveway is 15'. Those shown off Vicot Way are too large at 20'. Please revise all plan sets accordingly. Number: 49 Created: 10 / 29 / 2007 [10/29/07] The C-Store has been moved further south placing the foundation right at the edge of the utility easement. No portion of the foundation (including the footing) may be placed within the easement itself so either the building needs to shift a foot OR suggest using the "L" shaped foundation in this area. We'll want a cross section of that portion of the footing in relation to the UE and note on the plans calling this out if this is the direction you would like to go. Number: 65 Created: 11 / 1 / 2007 [ 11 / 1 / 07] From Technical Services: We did not get revised plans to look at. Unable to review. Page 5 Topic: Traffic Number: 68 Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [ 11 / 2 / 07] Susan Joy of the Engineering Department offered the following comments: a. With the addition of the median in Sykes Drive the variance request for the proposed right-in/right-out from that street is OK. b. Additional right-of-way (ROW) for Sykes Drive is needed. A letter of intent from the property owner to the south is needed for the additional ROW. Also, a one sheet exhibit showing how the additional ROW will occur must be submitted for review. c. The building foundation cannot extend into the 8'-8" to 9'-0" wide utility easement. Topic: Utility Plans -General Number: 67 Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [ 11 / 2 / 07] Alan Rutz of Light & Power indicated that the applicant/developer must coordinate a transformer location with the City. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 6 Created: 4 / 9 / 2007 [10/29/071 A variance was granted for the R-In R-Out driveway of Sykes provided that a median was installed to control the movement. However, additional row will be required in order to make up for the 7' lost to the median. Please see LCUASS Chapter 7 for street design requirements regarding minimum radii, tangent and curve lengths, maximum lane shifts, etc. Since the median is not required by the city's minor collector street section and only required in order to accommodate this development's preference for a driveway entrance, it is not eligible for city street oversizing reimbursement for either the median or the additional row necessary to build it. At minimum, an exhibit (separate sheet) showing the new street alignment, street striping) will be required so that we can determine that this will all work, meet the standards and tie into each other. If East Ridge is unable or unwilling to revise their plans and provide additional row, then this development is responsible for the design and acquiring the row. A letter of intent from the East Ridge project agreeing to the new street alignment as well as the additional row will be required prior to allowing this project to go to hearing. [4/9/07] The driveway off Sykes does not conform to the spacing requirements as shown on table 7-3 and will not be allowed. Please take both accesses off Vicot Way and submit the appropriate variance request if driveway spacing is not met there either. Page 4 Topic: Site Plan Number: 30 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [10/23/071 An outdoor patio has been added at the southeast corner of the building, now enlarged, to help satisfy the "build -to" line requirement to Vicot Way. This would appear to satisfy the requirement in the LUC; however, the patio is being described to provide outdoor seating for the proposed fast food restaurant in the building. It may be advantageous to provide a 5' - 6' wide sidewalk connection to the public sidewalk for convenience for pedestrians (especially from the adjacent neighborhood to the east) entering and exiting the fast food restaurant. Section 3.5.3(13)(2)(d) of the Land Use Code states: "Exceptions to the build -to line standards shall be permitted: 1. in order to form an outdoor space such as a plaza, courtyard, patio or garden between a building and the sidewalk. Such a larger front yard area shall have landscaping, low walls, fencing or railings, a tree canopy and/or other similar site improvements along the sidewalk designed for pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity." [4/ 17/07] The convenience store building does not satisfy the "build -to" line requirement, relative to Vicot Way and Sykes Drive, as set forth in Section 3.5.3(13)(2)(b) of the Land Use Code. Therefore, a request for a modification of this standard must be submitted immediately for City staff and Planning & Zoning Board review. The Board will be the ultimate decision maker. The applicant's request and justification must be supported by the criteria set forth in Section 2.8.2(H) of the Land Use Code. Number: 31 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [ 10/ 23 / 071 For reference for the Final Plan submittal. [4/ 17/07] The minimum building height for non-residential buildings in the LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood district is 1.5 stories. This should be noted on the Site Plan and demonstrated on the Building Elevations. Number: 70 Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [11/2/07] The most easterly parking space just to the north of the building scales to be 7' wide. This is not wide enough for car parking. Number: 71 Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [11/2/07] With an expressed fast-food restaurant now included in the building, please note this within the building on the Site Plan. Also, in the LAND USE table please include c-store w/ fuel sales and fast-food restaurant under "COMMERCIAL/RETAIL" NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. Page 3 Topic: General Number: 66 Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [ 11 / 2 / 07] Bonnie Ham of the U.S. Postal Service indicated that if the developer wants to receive mail here postal service approval must be given on the type of mail box and location for the box. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 36 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [10/23/071 Need minor revision to the added statement. Please see the red - lined Landscape Plan. [4/ 17/07] The standard Landscape Assurance note (install or secure with 125% of value of materials and labor ...) must be added to the Landscape Plan. Number: 45 Created: 10/23/2007 [10/23/071 Just a question: Was the approval to remove all of the existing trees in the right-of-way along the east side of North Timberline Road adjacent to this property granted with the East Ridge PDP? When did an approval take place? Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 39 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [10/23/071 Just for reference. However, the "spot" lighting levels right along the east and west edges of the canopy still appear to be high (13 - 16 foot candles) even though the lighting levels right under the canopy generally decreased. What is the reason for this? [4/ 17/07] Sections 3.2.40 & (D) of the Land Use Code sets for the allowable lighting levels for a development, including around and under a canopy. Maximum under -canopy area lighting (initial installation) is 26.0 foot- candles; and, maximum under -canopy area lighting (average maintained) is 20.0 foot-candles. There are several spots shown on the Lighting 86 Photometric Plan under the canopy that exceed 26.0 foot-candles, whether they are initial installation or average maintained. Many of the spots, if they are average maintained levels, are too high. Please clarify. Also, there are many spot foot-candle levels shown just outside the canopy lines that exceed the maximum allowed on -site lighting levels of 10 foot-candles. The under -canopy lights must be fully recessed into the structure's "ceiling", ensuring that the lights will be down -directional. Topic: Plat Number: 69 . Created: 11 / 2 / 2007 [11/2/07] Asa reminder, the East Ridge C-Store PDP is dependent on the overall East Ridge PDP/Final Plan subdivision plat as it is Tract W of that plat. Therefore, the C-Store plans cannot be recorded before the overall East Ridge - Final Plans, including subdivision plat. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins Jim Sell Design, Inc Date: 11/5/2007 c/o Matt Blakely 153 West Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for EAST RIDGE C-STORE, PDP - TYPE 2, and we offer the. following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Building Elevations Plan Number: 32 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [10/23/07] See Comment #44. [4/ 17/07] The Conceptual Architectural Elevations Plan as provided with the Project Development Plan submittal is sufficient at this phase of development review. However, with the Final Compliance submittal the building elevations must be more defined for this particular site and the plan must show heights, materials, and "general" colors to be used. The canopy over the gas tanks must be designed with a shallow -pitched roof, false mansard or parapet that matches the building. Number: 42 Created: 10 / 23 / 2007 [10/23/071 There must be a minimum 14'-0" clearance under the canopy for the fuel pumps. There is a note to this effect on the Site Plan; however, this information must be clearly demonstrated on the Final Architectural Elevations, also. Number: 43 Created: 10 / 23 / 2007 [10/23/07] The Final Architectural Elevations must be scale -able, with building heights, lengths, and widths noted. Number: 44 Created: 10 / 23 / 2007 [10/23/07] The Final Architectural Elevations must indicate building materials (including roofing) and a general color scheme. This requirement is set forth in Item 7) of the Final Plan Submittal Requirements. Number: 46 Created: 10 / 23 / 2007 [10/23/07] Have not yet seen a detail for the trash enclosure. It could be included on the Architectural Elevations, Site, or Landscape Plan. Page 1
