Please provide a letter stating the company's recycling policy and processes as this should be sufficient to meet the requirements of 3.2.5 Trash and Recycling Encloses section of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC). 26. In addition to providing bike racks near the tap room entrance, you may want to consider adding bike racks around the detention pond to accommodate the number of bicyclists that visit the brewery on Saturdays and holidays. 27. Fort Collins native plant material will be required to be planted within buffer zones. We would also like to encourage the applicant to consider planting native plant material for landscaping. 28. We would like to encourage the applicant to consider contacting Gary Schroeder, 221-6395 to explore utilizing the City's Design Assistance Program to help design an energy efficient/sustainable building. 6 Transportation Impact Study. The evaluation of the request is made by the Engineering Department and is not forwarded to the Hearing Officer.. 16. The scope of the aforementioned T.I.S. should be determined by Traffic Operations Department. Please contact Ward Stanford, 221-6820, for further information. 17. No new right-of-way is needed for Lincoln Avenue. But, as an arterial street, the applicant is required to provide the ultimate design of the fully improved roadway to ensure that improvements along the property's frontage will tie in with future improvements to the east and west. In particular, the vertical design is most important to make sure that there is positive drainage along the roadway. The extent of this design is 1,000 in both directions. 18. As the developer, Odell Brewing is required to improve the frontage along the Lincoln Avenue. Or, at the determination of the City Engineer, these improvements may be escrowed for future roadway improvements along Lincoln to be constructed in a more comprehensive manner than just the subject property's frontage. 19. Any discussion regarding diagonal or parallel parking along Lincoln Avenue would involve meeting with staff from Engineering, Transportation Planning and would follow the direction of the Downtown River District Plan. 20. At the time of submittal for the Major Amendment, the applicant will be assessed the Transportation Development Review Fee. This fee is based on a formula. Please contact Randy Maizland, 221-6605 for an estimate of this fee. 21. New construction will be assessed two transportation related fees collected at the time of Building Permit issuance. First is the City's Street Oversizing Fee and second is Larimer County's Road Impact Fee. For an estimate of these fees, please contact Matt Baker in the City's Engineering Department at 221-6605. 22. A plat or replat will not be required but only so long as the improvements north of the existing platted lot line do not consist of a building. 23. The normal Utility Plans, Development Agreement and Development Construction Permit will be required. 24. 1 have enclosed a copy of the Administrative Interpretation which allows for porous concrete to satisfy the paving requirements of Section 5 actually have the LID committee review and suggest BMPs to use on the site. There is a possibility that the Stormwater Utility would assist financially if there.was a BMP that was more "experimental" in nature. The Utility is interested in assisting in the implementation of various BMPs to evaluate the effectiveness and maintenance required. The applicant needs to involve the Utility and the LID Committee early on in the design stage. 9. A revised drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. 10. The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. 11. The site is in the Cache La Poudre 500-year floodplain now because the Oxbow levee took it out of the 100-year floodplain. The previous variances for the site related to Dryland Access and the floatable materials (delivery trucks) which are no longer needed because either the regulations changed (Dryland access no longer required) or the mapping changed and the regulation no longer applies (floatable materials). The only restriction in the 500-year floodplain is no life -safety and emergency response critical facilities. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. . 12. Water/Wastewater comments: Existing mains: 16-inch water main in Lincoln, 8-inch sanitary sewer in Lincoln (East 1/3 of site). There is an existing 2-inch domestic water service and a 6-inch fire line providing service to the building. 13. As.a part of the expansion, provide a sampling/monitoring manhole on the sewer service for testing the strength of the process wastewater. 14. No change to the existing water service is planned at this time. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 15. Lincoln Avenue is classified on the Master Street Plan as a four -lane arterial street. The proposed driveway that would serve the west parking lot does not meet the 460-foot driveway separation required for arterial streets. As shown, it is too close to Third Street, the east parking lot entrance, and driveways across the street. A variance to this Street Standard would be required. Such a variance must be supported by a 4 Hearing Officer as an Administrative Review. Or, the Modification may be considered concurrently with the Major Amendment. 4. A maximum number of .75 spaces per employee are allowed. This standard may be slightly increased to provide parking for shift overlap or other factors unique to the operation of the facility. Section 3.2.2(K)(3) allows for the number of spaces to be increased as an Altemative Compliance provision. In order to take advantage of this provision, and to allow an increase in parking on the west side for the tap room, please provide information regarding public usage of the tap room. 5. The parking lot should be screened from the west property line in a manner that may incorporate berming, landscaping, low screen walls or any combination of sufficient opacity to block at least 75% of the light from vehicle headlights [Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b)]. 6. Electrical power is available along Lincoln Avenue. Presently, the building is served by a 150 kva transformer. For the addition, please provide a Commercial One ("C-1 ") Form and a One -Line Diagram, prepared by the electrical contractor, to determine if the existing transformer is adequate. Normal site and development charges will apply to the new construction. Be sure that the Major Amendment clearly delineates a phasing line between current and future improvements to the north so that Light and Power fees and charges are assessed accordingly. For further information, please contact Rob Irish at 221-6700. 7. In the Dry Creek basin, the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre. There are issues with the capacity of the Lincoln channel which is the outfall for this site. Please contact Rex Burns (498-5721) at the Larimer County Engineering Department for any requirements they may have. There are properties to the east that are flooded frequently so the County has required special release rates or delayed release into the channel. Any Low Impact Development (LID) measures used will lessen the impact on the Lincoln Channel. 8. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 1000 but more than 350 square feet of new imperviousness, a site grading plan is all that is required. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs). Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment but all BMPs are encouraged and can reduce the water quality capture volume for extended detention. The Stormwater Utility is willing to work with the applicant on "experimental' BMPs and 3 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: Odell Brewery Expansion — 800 East Lincoln Avenue MEETING DATE: May 12, 2008 APPLICANT: Odell Brewing Company, 800 East Lincoln Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80524 c/o Mr. Bruce Hendee, B.H.A.
