Home My WebLink AboutADVANCED ANIMAL CARE OF COLORADO - MOD. OF STAND. - MOD110001 - CORRESPONDENCE -Number: 7 Created: 05/05/2011 05/05/2011: AT LEAST ONE LANDSCAPE ISLAND IS NEEDED AT THE 12 PARKING SPACE ROW ON WEST SIDE CLOSEST TO THE STREET BUT A SECOND IS AT THE OTHER END PREFERRED. Response: The existing parking and asphalt on the west end of the site is to remain as is in order to reduce costs. The asphalt will have to be saw -cut in order to add a landscape island to that area. The applicant feels that other improvements to the landscaping and parking on the rest of the site would help satisfy this requirement. There is more than enough parking on the property and those spaces will most likely never be used. Number: 8 Created: 05/05/2011 A NOTE REGARDING NO ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANY WITH LANDSCAPE COMPLETION OR FINANCIAL SECURMENT OF 125% OF REMAINING VALUE OF LANDSCAPING. Response: A note has been added to the landscape plan. Topic: Site Plan Number: 2 Created: 05/05/2011 05/05/2011: NORTH DIRECTION ARROWS ON SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLAN ARE INCONSISTANT AS TO TRUE NORTH.

Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Topic: General Number: 1 Contact: Roger Buffington Created: 04/29/2011 04/29/2011: The existing water service to the site is a 3/4-inch service. Is this adequate for the proposed animal clinic use? If a larger service is needed, additional development fees and water rights will be due at building permit. Response: The service line is proposed to be upsized to a 1" line to adequately supply the animal clinic.

Department: Zoning Topic: General Contact: Gary Lopez Number: 9 Created: 05/05/2011 05/05/2011: FOR ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT GARY LOPEZ AT 970.416.2338 Topic: Landscape Plans Number: 1 Created: 05/05/2011 5LANDSCAPING STRIP REQUIRED ALONG E PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN THESE AND PARKING DRIVEWAYS/SPACESWHICH SHOULD INCLUDE TREES/SHRUBS. SIMILARLY A PORTION OF THE NORTH DRIVEWAY LEADING ONTO THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT SHOULD HAVE A 5' LANDSCAPING STRIP WITH TREES/SHRUBS INCLUDED. Response: There is a privacy fence and 3' wide landscape shrub area existing along the eastern property line. (See photo) The plan was to leave that side of the property as is. Additionally, there is not enough room between the north property line and the drive aisle to add a 5' landscape area and still keep a wide -enough drive. Since the area to the north contains open space and railroad tracks, we feel that landscape has more bang for the buck in other areas within the site. Number: 6 Created: 05/03/2011 05/03/2011: Will there be any new, additional exterior lighting proposed? 3.2.4(B) requires that a proposed lighting plan that meets the functional security needs of the proposed land use without adversely affecting adjacent properties or the community shall be submitted. Response: A photometric plan is included with this resubmittal. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Andrew Carney Topic: General Number: 1 Created: 05/05/2011 Riverside Avenue in this location is considered a "Constrained Arterial' which requires a total ROW width of 102 feet as opposed to the standard 4 lane arterial which requires a total ROW width of 115 feet. It appears that there is currently —99 feet of ROW existing along the frontage of this property. Therefore, additional ROW will need to be dedicate with this project so that the half ROW width equals 51 and therefore meets constrained arterial cross section. The ROW dedication fee is $250. In addition, a surveyor will need to prepare a legal description and an exhibit that will be reviewed by cit staff. Also, a deed of dedication will need to be prepared that will be signed by both the property owner and the owners attorney. Ultimately, the legal description, the exhibit, and the deed will all be recorded at Larimer County and will be subject to their recording fees of $11 for the first page and $5 for each successive page. Response: Northern Engineering is preparing the documentation for the right of way dedication. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Floodplain Number: 1 Created: 05/05/2011 05/05/2011: Not in floodpla ins per Kymberly at stormwater. Ok Topic: General Number: 2 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Water quality mitigation is required for redevelopment. This may require modifying the existing detention pond or providing water quality mitigation another way. Response: The Astro-Turf sections will supply additional water quality for the site. Number: 3 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: Enough site work is being proposed where a grading and erosion control plan are required. Response: A grading and erosion control plan is included in the resubmittal Number: 4 Created: 05/06/2011 05/06/2011: There needs to be documentation in the form of a letter documenting the new impervious area being proposed. If there is an increase of impervious area greater than 1,000 sf, other drainage criteria would be applicable. This would include analyzing the existing detention pond to ensure the pond has enough capacity. Response: A drainage letter has been included with the submittal. The replacement of the perimeter drive with the Asto-Turf will decrease the amount of impervious area within Lots 15- 20. The addition of two islands will decrease the amount of impervious area within Lot 21-22.

Currently you are at 38%. Response: We now have 100% canopy trees. Number: 2 Created: 05/03/2011 05/03/2011: What species are the existing remaining trees? Per 3.2.1(3) Tree species diversity is required. Please call out existing species to ensure that no more than 50% of all trees on site are one type of species. Response: The existing trees are ash trees, we are under 50% of one type of species. Number: 3 Created: 05/03/2011 05/03/2011: 3.2.1(E)(3)(b) Landscape plans submitted applicable hydrozones using the following categories: High Hydrozone: 18 gallons/s.f./season Moderate Hydrozone: 10 gallons/s.f./season Low Hydrozone: 3 gallons/s.f./season Very Low Hydrozone: 0 gallons/s.f./season must include and clear identification of all Response: Hydrozone map has been added to Sheet L3. 2. A water budget chart that shows the total annual water use, which shall not exceed fifteen (15) gallons/square foot over the site, including all hydrozones used on the landscape plan Response: Hydrozone map has been added to Sheet L3. Number: 4 Created: 05/03/2011 05/03/2011: 3.2.1 (E) (5)(a) To avoid landscape material blocking driver sight distance at driveway -street intersections, no plant material greater than twenty-four (24) inches in height shall be located within fifteen (15) feet of a curbcut. It looks like the feather reed grass on the northwest landscape portion of the site does not meet this standard. Response: Shrubs and grasses over 24" in height have been moved 15' away from curb -cut. Number: 5 Created: 05/03/2011 05/03/2011: Please make sure that 3.2.1(1) Landscape Materials, Maintenance and Replacement 1-6 is included/covered in landscape notes. Response: Notes have been added.
