HomeMy WebLinkAboutHARMONY TECH PARK 5TH FILING (INFRASTRUCTURE) - PDP - 22-08 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)provided. The site plan submitted only shows the large one in the center of the project. B. In general the design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the McClellands Creek Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. C. The city wide new development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new imperviousness over 350 square feet. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. D. Onsite detention is required. In this part of the McClellands drainage basin, the release rate is 0.2 cfs/ac for the 10 year storm and 0.5 cfs/ac for the 100 year storm. Water quality treatment is 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. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. 12. The proposed round -about should be addressed in the Transportation Impact Study. There is some flexibility in the design. Please refer to the Street Standards Appendix One. 13. The vacation of a segment of Timberwood Drive will follow the Replat that dedicates new right-of-way. This process requires a hearing by the Planning and Zoning Board first, followed by two readings by City Council. The Transportation Development Review Fee is $800.00. For Final Compliance, the Replat would reflect the vacated portion and dedicate the new portion. Please note that at the public hearing for the P.D.P., Engineering will add a Condition of Approval that the vacation follows all required procedures. 14. Please note that it appears most private drives will also need to be platted as Emergency Access Easements for Poudre Fire Authority. In addition, they may also need to be platted as Public Access Easements, and, if applicable, Utility Easements. 15. Please check with Matt Baker, 221-6605, Street Oversizing Fund Administrator, regarding any repays that may be due for improvements to the Harmony Road and Ziegler Road, including the intersection. 16. Please be sure that the off-street bicycle/pedestrian system is called out as per the approved O.D.P. For further information, please contact Marc Virata, 221-6605. 8: The fire department connection shall be installed remote from the buildings, and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access. If possible, a fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the FDC. In addition, a "Knox Box" must be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system. 9.. Fire lanes may be required and must be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. Minimum turning radii is 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. Fire lanes must meet the following general requirements: 0 Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. 0 Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. 0 Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. 0 Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane. For further information, please contact Carie Dann, 221-6570. 10. Water and Wastewater: Existing mains: 16-inch water main in Lady Moon to the existing Timberwood, 12-inch water main in Lady Moon from Timberwood to Precision, 12-inch water main in Technology Parkway from Harmony to the south edge of Intel site. The developer will be required to install a 16-inch main in the new alignment of Timberwood from Lady Moon to Technology Parkway and south to Precision. Please note that sewer service in this area will be provided by the SFCSD. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 11. Stormwater: A. The drainage plan for this site is being revised as requested for the 4th Filing PDP presently being processed. Please refer to the latest round of comments for that project. One suggestion is to add all the detention areas to the site plans so it is clear where detention is being spaces. For general office, the maximum is no more than three spaces. per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, or :75 space per employee on the largest shift, or 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet if all additional parking spaces gained by the increased ratio (over.3/1,000 sq. ft.) are contained within a parking garage/structure. For sites that do not have the ability to park along a public street, or where there is no opportunity for shared parking, the number of spaces may be increased by 20%. Please note that for labor intensive uses, such as call centers, applicants may avail themselves of the Altemative Compliance or Exception to the General Office Parking Standard which allow for the maximum number of parking spaces to be determined on a customized basis for the particular needs of a specific end -user. 4. In accordance with the Harmony Corridor Plan, an 80-foot setback from Harmony Road, as measured from the future edge of pavement, must be provided. This area can platted as a separate tract, and maintained by an association or included in individual lots to be maintained by the lot owner. 5. The site will continue to be served electrical power by the City of Fort Collins. Existing system is installed along the south side of Harmony Road and along Lady Moon Drive. System will be installed along Precision Drive in conjunction with the development of the Third Filing (Custom Blending). There is no system in Technology Parkway. Street lights, with proper separation from street trees, will have to be designed along all public streets. As you are aware, Light and Power does not provide street lighting for internal private drives. Normal development charges will apply for all end -users. Where multiple buildings are located in close proximity, a shared transformer may be the most efficient. Any change to the existing system will be at the developer's expense. For further information regarding electrical service, please call Rob Irish, 221-6700. 6. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements for commercial is 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. 7. For buildings with fire sprinklers, standpipes and fire pumps must meet minimum requirements. For example, buildings four or more stories in height are required to be equipped with firefighting standpipes in every stairwell. The standpipe system must be capable of supplying a minimum 100 psi to the top floor; an approved fire pump may be required to obtain this minimum pressure.

Design, 1603 Oak Ridge Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request to subdivide and design the streets, utilities and stormwater improvements for Parcels S and E (north of.. Precision Drive) of the Harmony Technology Park O.D.P., Third Amendment, approved in March of 2008. This would be known as an Infrastructure Project Development Plan as there would be no buildings associated with this filing. The area is bounded by Harmony Road on the north, Lady Moon Drive on the east, Precision Drive on the south and Technology Parkway on the east. Timberwood Drive bisects the site and would be re -aligned as per the O.D.P. Third Amendment. The area is currently platted as Harmony Technology Park, Second Filing. The Infrastructure P.D.P. would include a replat and be titled the Fifth Filing and contain approximately 58 acres. COMMENTS: The site is zoned H-C, Harmony Corridor, and within the Basic Industrial Non -retail Employment Activity Center sub -area of the Harmony Corridor Plan. This sub -area permits a mix of office and light industrial uses as primary uses and allows up to 25% secondary uses. The Harmony Technology Park O.D.P., Third Amendment was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on March 20, 2008. 2. Since no buildings are proposed, the Replatting and Utility Plans would be processed as an Administrative (Type One) review. 3. In the course of determining the optimum parcel size for future office buildings or mixed -use buildings, keep in mind that parking is generally regulated such that a development cannot exceed a maximum amount of COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N.
