Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Sincerely: Ted Shepard Chief Planner Enc. Page 5 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: Drainage Number: 165 Created: 2/28/2005 [2/22/05] How does the applicant propose to meet Bicycle/Pedestrian LOS standards with this new access design off of Lake St? It would appear that the favorable finding in the TIS (which states the LOS for both modes to be "B" or better for the CSU destination area) needs to be revisited with this change. [2/28/05] Follow up comment: a project came into Conceptual Review this morning for the parcel immediately east of this project. It is suggested that this applicant explore solving the bike/ped/vehicular access puzzle for this site with the parties to the east. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General Number: 86 Created: 8/9/2004 [2/25/05] [8/9/04] Provide a minimum of 10 feet of utility easement on both sides of the proposed sanitary sewer service for this project. Provide copies of the required offsite utility easements for our review. Number: 89 Created: 8/9/2004 [2/25/05] [8/9/04] Confirm with PFA concerning the 4-inch fire line being adequately sized. Number: 91 Created: 8/9/2004 [2/25/05] Provide separate water and sewer services for each use proposed within the building (i.e. commercail and residential). Maintain the required landscape/utility separation distances on the landscape plans. [8/9104] See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols Topic: Zoning Number: 27 Created: 5/11 /2004 [2/8/05] See land use code section 3.2.1(E)($)(b) [5/11/04] Landscaping is only being shown around a portion of the parking lot perimeter, please not the rest and call out the plants and counts.. Comments From Current Planning 1. Staff is concerned about the entrance and compliance with Section 4.24(D)(1)(a). This standard calls for doorways to face the street at grade level or slightly elevated. In order to mitigate the fact the entrance is below grade, please explore design treatments that would make this entrance more prominent and visible to Prospect Road. 2. See redline Preliminary Site Plan regarding adding more explanatory notes describing the size and location of the resident common area and the mixed -use area. 3. Is the emergency access through Hi -Lan Apartments restricted to emergency access only? Please explain on the plans how the bicycles and pedestrians are allowed access but cars are restricted. Will there be a gate, bollards or chain? If cars are not restricted, then it would be helpful to see the diagram of the Hi -Lan parking lot. Page 4 [2121/05] Please provide letters of intent from the adjacent property owner for the proposed offsite utility and emergency access easements (and any other easements needed) prior to scheduling a public hearing. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage Number: 35 Created: 5/18/2004 [2/23/05] [8/10/04] The TOW elevation is constant, but please provide BOW elevations periodically along the wall. Please provide TOW and BOW elevations for all retaining walls periodically along the length. Number: 37 Created: 5/18/2004 [2/23/05] Need this before a hearing. [8/10/04] The sizing of the detention ponds is correct. A stage - storage table is needed to verify that the grading shown on the plans will provide the volume that is being proposed. Please provide a stage -storage table in the drainage report for the detention pond Number: 93 Created: 8/10/2004 [2/23/05) [8/10/04] After hearing, a more detailed review will take place when 90% plans are submitted. Number: 134 Created: 2/23/2005 [2/23/05] The 8-inch outlet pipe is smaller than the minimum of 15-inches allowed. Clogging of this small pipe is likely over a short amount of time. A discussion needs to take place of all alternatives between the City and engineer. Number: 135 Created: 2/23/2005 [2/23/05] The water quality ponds should not have micro pools and be designed to be dry extended detention. Mosquitoes and the wet mess will be a complaint to the City waiting to happen. Number: 136 Created: 2/23/2005 [2/23/05] Please provide more spot elevations along the north property line to show grading and proper freeboard required for the detention pond. Number: 156 Created: 2/25/2005 [2/25/05] A drainage easement dedicated to the City is required for the pond's outfall pipe to the north. Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control Number: 133 Created: 2/23/2005 [2/23/05] Plan is OK. Page 3 [2/21/05] The easements are shown differently on the plat and site plan and utility plans still. The EAE is required to be 30' wide for servicing buildings that are 3 or more stories tall. The drive aisle provided on the north side of the building is 30' wide, but the easement within it is only 20'. Please check with PFA to ensure that the drive aisle along the west side of the building doesn't need to be 30' wide as well. The new offsite EAE needs to meet the minimum radius requirements on the curves (25' interior, 50' exterior) unless specific approval is gotten from PFA for the smaller curves. [8/5/04] Please match the emergency access easement shown on the plat/utility plans/site and landscape plans. [5/6/04] Show the emergency access easement. Number: 80 Created: 8/5/2004 [2/21/05] [8/5/04] Please show the existing curb and gutter location. Topic: Transportation Number: 63 Created: 5/21 /2004 [2/21/05] How will this project meet its bike and ped LOS standards now that the bike/ped path to Lake Street is gone? [8/5/04] Revised comment (David Averill, Transportation Planning): If the proposed drive out to Lake Street is to have bollards on both ends and is to be restricted to emergency use only, then the paved section of that drive (minimum 8' wide) could double as the required ped/bike path out to Lake Street. [5/21/04] Comment From Tom Reiff: [5/19/04] According to the applicant's planning objectives, the path out to Lake Street will serve as a connection for bikes and pedestrians from the proposed development to CSU. To safely accommodate both bikes and peds and to meet the City's design standards the path needs to be a minimum 8 feet in width (LUC 3.6.3 & 3.2.2). Number: 66 Created: 5/21 /2004 [2/21/05] [8/5/04] See comment #63. [5/21/04] Comment from Tom Reiff:[5/19/04] The submitted TIS is incorrect in stating that there are no bicycle destinations within a quarter mile. According to the City's Level of Service (LOS) Manual, public schools are considered a destination which includes CSU. Since there are no on -street bike lanes connected to this site to satisfy the LOS, it would be acceptable to allow the proposed path connection to Lake Street and its bike lanes to satisfy the bike LOS to CSU. However, it must be designed to City standards so it can safely accommodate both bikes and pedestrians. Topic: Utility plans Number: 16 Created: 5/6/2004 [2/21/05] The ramp still does not meet the detail. Please revise and show spot elevations to ensure that ADA requirements are being met. Also, Truncated Domes need to be added to these ramps to meet current ADA standards. [8/5/04] The ramp on the west side of the driveway needs to meet the detail below. Please revise. [5/6/04] See detail 707 for the correct construction of the driveway. The driveway radii should be dimensioned and meet LCUASS standards.
