Current Planning file #33-98G Page 7 Number: 25 Created: 4 / 11 / 2007 [4/ 11/07] ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of six-inch (6) numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 97UFC 901.4.4 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: General Number: 22 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/ 10/07] No comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 4 / 6 / 2007 [4/6/07] Provide dimensions on buildings and canopy on the Site Plan. Number: 2 Created: 4 / 6 / 2007 [4/6/07] Remove ground sign location from Site Plan, as there is a separate approval/permit required for signage. Number: 3 Created: 4/6/2007 [4/6/07] Indicate ramped areas on sidewalk. Number: 4 Created: 4 / 6 / 2007 [4/6/07] Landscape Plan needs to contain language that no CO/TCO will be issued without landscape completion or security for 125% of remaining landscaping to be completed in form of bond, letter of credit, or escrow. This represents staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Additional comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. • Darwin Williams of the ELCO Water District indicated that their comments have been made on red -lined utility plans that have been returned directly to the developer's engineer. There are several issues that must be resolved before this item can go the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision; therefore, another round of staff review is determined to be necessary. This proposal is subject to the 90- day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being April 17, 2007) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be sure and return all red -lined nlans when you re -submit. The number of copies of each document to re -submit is shown on the attached Revision Routing Sheet. Page 6 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. Number: 17 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/ 10/07] Please provide the notes as shown in Appendix E2 in addition to El. 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". 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. 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. Topic: Utility Plans - Utility Number: 19 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/ 10/07] Please label and dimension all row and easements. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carte 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. Number: 24 Created: 4/ 11 / 2007 [4/ 11 /07] CANOPY CLEARANCE: Minimum clearance under the canopy for emergency apparatus is 14 feet. Page 5 - 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 [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: 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. 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? 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. 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. Number: 13 Created: 4 / 9 / 2007 [4/9/07] Please design and construct driveways in accordance with 707. Number: 21 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/ 10/07] Remove all reference to Preliminary, not for construction, etc. Topic: Plat Number: 28 [4/ 12/07] From Technical Services: Created: 4/ 12/2007 Minor Scanning issues, see redlines. Topic: Utility Plans - Cover Sheet Number: 15 Created: 4/ 10/2007 [4/ 10/07] Legend - Please use greyscale for existing and black for proposed. Page 4 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. Number: 33 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/ 17/07] The topography lines could be removed from the PDP Site Plan (not necessary) and must be removed from the Final 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. Number: 35 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/ 17/07] Please "fade out" the storm sewer lines on the Site Plan. They are too dominant and distracting to other information. Number: 40 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/ 17/07] 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 Page 3 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. 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). Number: 38 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/17/07] Technically speaking, Section 3.2.l(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? 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. Topic: Site Plan Number: 30 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [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(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. Page 2 fi STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins Jim Sell Design, Inc Date: 04/ 17/2007 c/o Matt Blakely 153 West Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80528 Staff has reviewed your submittal for EAST RIDGE C-STORE, PDP - TYPE 2, and we offer the following 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). 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. 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. Topic: General Number: 29 Created: 4/ 17/2007 [4/ 17/07] The applicant must demonstrate how this neighborhood center satisfies Section 4.5(B) (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(B) (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. Page 1
