Sincerely, Matthew J lakely, A Project Landscape Architect Page 7 Number: 17 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/10/07] Please provide the notes as shown in Appendix E2 in addition to El. Response: Acknowledged, the notes have been adjusted. Topic: Utility Plans - Grading Number: 16 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/10/07] Remove Note 1 on this and all other sheets. This plan set needs to be "stand alone". Response: Acknowledged, the notes have been removed from all other sheets. Number: 18 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/10/07] Please provide the statement: The top of foundation elevations shown are the minimum elevations required for protection from the 100-year storm. Response: Statement has been included on the grading sheets. Number: 20 Created: 4/10/2007 [4/10/07] There is too much drainage shown over the sidewalk at the driveways. The grading needs to be in accordance with 707 - in other words, the HP is at the row. Everything behind the row needs to drain back into the site, everything at the row towards the street needs to drain back to the street. See table 8-1 for curb return radii requirements. Response: The site and entrance grading has been adjusted in accordance with LCUASS Detail 707. The grading allows less than a5 cfs across the sidewalk during the 2-yr event (according to detail 803). Topic: Utility Plans - Utility Number: 19 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/10/07] Please label and dimension all row and easements. Response:ROW and Easements are labeled on the utility plan. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 23 Created: 4/11/2007 [4/11/07] FUEL TANK REQUIREMENTS: Poudre Fire Authority requires cut sheets to be submitted for the fueling system (tanks, pipes, etc.). Also, permits are required for UST installation, and PFA shall complete on -site inspections during tank, pipe and dispenser installation. Response: Acknowledged, cut sheets will be submitted at final compliance for review. Number: 24 Created: 4/11/2007 [4/11/071 CANOPY CLEARANCE: Minimum clearance under the canopy for emergency apparatus is 14 feet. Response: Acknowledged, minimum clearance notes will be added to the building elevations at final compliance. Page 6 Number: 10 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] There is a street light shown in the middle of the drive aisle off Vicot Way on the Site Plan but it is NOT shown on any other plan set. Do you really want the light in the middle like that? Response: This light pole is a left over light and has been deleted from all plan sets. Number: 11 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] The driveway exiting the car wash will encourage people to pull head on into oncoming traffic. Suggest realigning it a little to make it more of a stop condition - see red -lines. Response: The carwash building has been moved to the west and the exit has been modified to encourage a stop condition. Number: 12 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] There is a private irrigation line shown running down the middle of a public alley. This is not allowed in public row and will need to be realigned onto private property. Response: The irrigation line within the alley has been removed and this comment has been forwarded on to the engineer for East Ridge. Number: 13 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] Please design and construct driveways in accordance with 707. Response: Driveways have been designed in accordance with 707. Number: 21 Created: 4/10/2007 [4/10/07] Remove all reference to Preliminary, not for construction, etc. Response: Preliminary references have been removed from all plan sets. Topic: Plat Number: 28 Created: 4/12/2007 [4/12/07] From Technical Services: Minor Scanning issues, see redlines. Response: Acknowledged, the areas of concern have been corrected. Topic: Utility Plans - Cover Sheet Number: 15 Created: 4/10/2007 [4/10/07] Legend - Please use greyscale for existing and black for proposed. Response: All of the existing East Ridge line work has been shown as grayscale and the proposed improvements for the C-Store as black. Topic: Utility Plans - General Notes Number: 14 Created: 4/10/2007 [4/10/07] There seems to be some missing general notes as only 39 out of 48 are shown. Response: Acknowledged, the notes have been adjusted. Page 5 Number: 41 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] With a car parked at the proposed vacuum location it would appear that traffic movement and flow in this area would be very awkward. It could become a real "pinch point" if a car is fueling on the north side of the northerly set of pumps. Response: The vacuum location has been moved to the north corner of the site, northwest of the fuel pumps, to avoid the potential traffic conflicts in this area. This location does allow vehicles to pass and enter into the car wash while vehicle is parked at the vacuum.. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 5 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] Project title needs to be consistent on all plan sets. Response: The project title has been corrected on all plan sets. Number: 6 Created: 4/9/2007 [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. Response: A variance request has been submitted by Matt Delich and approved by Eric Bracke for this spacing requirement. The variance letter is enclosed for reference. The accesses to the property are the same as originally submitted. Number: 7 Created: 4/9/2007 [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. Response: All of the existing East Ridge line work has been shown as grayscale and the proposed improvements for the C-Store as black. The C-Store plans are being coordinated with East Ridge to minimize potential street cuts. Number: 8 Created: 4/9/2007 [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. Response: Acknowledged. Number: 9 Created: 4/9/2007 [4/9/07] Please see Appendix E6 for scanning requirements. I've highlighted problem areas in pink on the plan sets to give you an idea of what they're looking for. Response: Acknowledged, the areas of concern have been corrected. Page 4 Response: Acknowledged. The lighting plan has been revised to comply with these requirements. Topic: Site Plan Number: 30 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/071 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(B)(2)(b) of the LUC. 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 LUC. Response: The convenience store building has been enlarged to satisfy this requirement. The south side of the building has been located as close to the ROW of Sykes Drive as possible due to the 9' utility easement along Sykes (most of the south side is within 15' of the ROW). The east side of the building has been located as far to the east as possible and is constrained by a drainage easement along the Vicot ROW. An outdoor plaza space has been incorporated on the southeast side. Number: 31 Created: 4/17/2007 [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. Response: Acknowledged. This note has been added to the Site Plan and the Building Elevations will be updated at final to demonstrate this requirement. Number: 33 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/071 The topography lines could be removed from the PDP Site Plan (not necessary) and must be removed from the Final Site Plan. Response: The contours (topography lines) have been removed from the Site Plan. Number: 34 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/07] There appears to be a light pole in the middle of the entry drive at the northeast corner of the site on the Site Plan. Response: This light pole is a left over light and has been deleted from all plan sets. Number: 35 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/071 Please "fade out" the storm sewer lines on the Site Plan. They are too dominant and distracting to other information. Response: The storm sewer lines have been faded back on the Site Plan. Number: 40 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/071 The right-in/right-out access, with pork chop, to the site from Sykes Drive as shown will not adequately control the traffic movement in this location. Response: The pork chop controlled access has been deleted and a median has been provided in Sykes Drive to control this movement. Page 3 Topic: General Number: 29 Created: 4/17/2007 [4/17/07] The applicant must demonstrate how this neighborhood center satisfies Section 4.5(13)(3)(C)1 of the LUC. It proposes a convenience retail store w/fuel sales and a car wash. Looking at Sections 4.5(13)(2)(c)3 and 4.5(13)(3)(c)1, requiring at least 2 uses defined in these sections, it appears that the proposed convenience retail store w/fuel sales use is the only (one) use out of the permitted uses in a neighborhood center. A car wash is not listed in either section. Response: The East Ridge ODP and PDP identify several tracts (tracts D, E, and V) within close proximity of the C-Store site as a part of the overall East Ridge neighborhood center. These tracts will be developed independently, but will be required to have at least one or more other non- residential uses and an outdoor space that will satisfy this requirement. The C-Store project will provide the convenience retail store w/fuel sales and an accessory carwash. In addition a fast food restaurant will be located within the convenience store. An outdoor dining space has been provided adjacent to the C-Store for the fast food restaurant. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 36 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [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. Response: The Landscape Assurance note has been added to the Landscape Plan. Number: 37 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] On the Landscape Plan, for clarity, there is a label for the Existing Irrigation Lateral that would be better located down in the area of Sykes Drive (see red -lined plan). Response: The label has been relocated. Number: 38 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] Technically speaking, Section 3.2.1(D)(3) Minimum Species Diversity of the LUC would allow a maximum of 50% of any one species of tree in the development plan. In this case that would be 50% of 17 trees, or 8.5 (rounded down to 8, as the City does) Ash or Honeylocust. Is there an acceptable alternative to 1 or 2 of the Ash trees? Response: A third tree has been added to the Landscape Plan to provide for greater species diversity and satisfy this requirement. Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 39 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] Sections 3.2.4(C) & (D) of the LUC sets forth 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 & 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", assuring that the lights will be down -directional. Page 2 October 12, 2007 Mr.. Steve Olt Current Planning Department 281 N. College Avenue P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Project: East Ridge C-Store Response to City Comments, Project Development Plan JSD.Project.No.2468 , Dear Steve: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PLANNING ENGINEERING GRAPHIC DESIGN We have received comments from City of Fort Collins staff, dated 04/17/2007, regarding our submittal for the EAST RIDGE GSTORE, PDP — TYPE 2 and have incorporated responses to the comments in our PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN documents (attached with this letter). The following is our narrative response (in italicized text) to each of the comments. ISSUES: Department: Advance Planning Issue Contact: Pete Wray Topic: Fire Number: 26 Created: 4/ 12/2007 [4/12/07] Confirm location and separation of convenience retail w/fuel sales is at least 3/4 mile from any other such use, per Land Use Code (LUC) Section 4.5(3)(c)(1). Response: There are no other convenience retail w/fuel sales uses within 314 mile from this proposed convenience store. The C-Store that was proposed for Waterfield has expired and is no longer valid. Number: 27 Created: 4/12/2007 [4/12/07] Proposed use is consistent with East Ridge ODP and East Mulberry Corridor Plan for LMN land use incorporating a neighborhood center to show at least two uses from list in LUC Section 4.5(B)(2)(c)3. Response: Acknowledged. Department: Current Planning ' Issue Contact: •Steve Olt Topic: Building Elevations Plan Number: 32 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] The Conceptual Architectural Elevations Plan as provided with the Project Development Plan (PDP) 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. Response: Acknowledged, more detailed elevations will be submitted at Final Compliance. -In addition, the canopy roof will be designed to match the building. • 1. ��'.�. :I 153 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS, COLORAt•'ci 80524 P970.484.1921 F970.484.2443 INFOCa11MSELLDESIGN.COM JIMSELLDESIGN.COM
