HomeMy WebLinkAboutFORT COLLINS BREWERY - FDP - 32-08/A - CORRESPONDENCE - (4)elevations of all buildings, overall heights must be shown, and sheet size can't exceed 24 x
36.
[9/29/08] Elevation drawings need to show the height of the buildings.
Response: Acknowledged. Elevations have been updated showing building height.
Comment from Current Planning — Ted Shepard - Since I am coming in on the tail end of
this project, I would like to be brought up to speed on the Lighting Plan. I need more
information on the B fixtures which are described as "Pole -Top Luminaries." These do not
appear to be fully shielded sharp cut-off fixtures. Are there some existing fixtures that I
could inspect?
Response: We will re -submit fixture information.
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:

Topic: Stormwater
Number: 94 Created: 10/20/2008
[3/9/09] The drainage easement needs to include the parking lot detention as well. Also,
please make the 15 foot utility easement north of Lincoln a drainage easement too. The
public storm sewer is very close to the right-of-way line and we need at least 10 feet of
drainage easement north of the pipe.
[10/20/08] A drainage easement is required for the limits of the detention pond and the
storm sewers dedicated to the City of Fort Collins.
Response: My understanding is that a Utility easement can also be used for Stormwater
Utility purposes.

[3/2/09] Same comment as before; the plat title "North Lemay Subdivision Second Filing,
Third Replat" is fine but if that's intended, then the other documents (site, landscape,
construction drawings, etc) also need to be titled the same. (If the other documents prefer
to be titled "Fort Collins Brewery", it's fine for the plat to have that title as well).
[10/28/08] The plat was revised to be titled "North Lemay Subdivision Second Filing, Third
Replat". This is certainly fine from the standpoint of the plat on its own; however from the
City's end we need to have the titles of all documents match. Perhaps the title on all
documents should be "North Lemay Subdivision Second Filing Third Replat, Fort Collins
Brewery".
[10/14/08] I'd suggest titling the plat "Fort Collins Brewery" rather than "Replat of Lots 2 &
3..." This would be our preference as all the drawings should have the same title.
Response: Acknowledged. All plans have been re -titled with The Fort Collins Brewery.

[2/13/09] 8 feet of unobstructed clearance is required on the front side of electric
transformers for crew personnel safety. The front of the transformer at building #1 will need
to be the north side. Therefore, the landscaping on the northerly side of this transformer will
need to be changed to ground cover only.
Response: Acknowledged. Tree has been removed and replaced with ground cover

[3/4/09] The proposed bicycle parking locations are good. The only concern is that the light
bollards would interfere with bicycle parking. Please adjust the bike racks so the light
bollards would be located in between support areas on the bike rack.

O'Dells which is of concern. In addition, I'd like to look at having the middle of the center
turn lane coincide with the section line for several reasons. 1) It more allows for the curb
line on the south side of Lincoln at the Lemay intersection to remain. 2) It reduces the
amount of offset across the intersection of Lemay as noted in ID#114.
Response: Acknowledged. As discussed, the centerline is transitioned back to the
centerline before the matchline with Northern's plans.
Number: 118 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] The sidewalk shown along Lincoln stops short of the western boundary of the site.
Normally sidewalk should be installed along the entire boundary. If this is acceptable to
Transportation Planning, funds would need to be collected for the extension of the sidewalk
to the property boundary and piping of the ditch to facilitate this. Otherwise, the design
should pipe the ditch further west to ensure the sidewalk is built to the property line.
Response: Acknowledged. The sidewalk has been extended to the boundary of the site.
Number: 125 Created: 3/4/2009
[3/4/09] Please specify the patching on the east side of the driveway out to Lincoln to not
create an angle point with the existing edge of pavement.
Response: Acknowledged.
Number: 126 Created: 3/4/2009
[3/4/09] With the retaining wall being in the theoretical utility easement for Lincoln (and the
steepness of the retaining wall), we should probably get verification from the utilities that
their needs can be met.
Response: Acknowledged, as per recent utility coordination meeting

[3/3/09] In conjunction with ID#41 more design information needs to be provided in order to
discern what sort of funding for the local street portion needs to be provided for. Is the
sidewalk along the frontage of the property interim such that it cannot exist in the ultimate
condition? How much of the driveways need to be rebuilt? Ultimate flowline profiles and
cross sections would help in demonstrating this.
[10/28/081 Carried over for reference, to be looked at further at final plan submittal.
[10/15/081 The project will need to fund it's local street obligation for frontage improvements
on Lemay and Lincoln in keeping with the ultimate construction of these roadways. This
obligation could likely also involve additional funds for any necessary interim improvements
that would need to be converted with the ultimate construction (such as driveway
approaches, access ramps, etc.)
Response: Acknowledged.
Number: 127 Created: 3/4/2009
[3/4/09] Given the 15' U.E. along Lincoln is apparently west of the property, can the pipe be
extended to the west of the property for the sidewalk to be built along the entire frontage?
Response: Acknowledged. The pipe has been extended past the boundary

[3/3/09] The drive approaches out to Lemay and Lincoln have cross slopes for the sidewalk
across the drive approaches that exceed the 1:48 requirement.
Response: Acknowledged. These slopes now meet the minimum requirement.
Number: 111 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] Since the previous submittal, it appears that a tiered wall design along Lincoln has
since been changed to a single wall with a steep drop off in close proximity to the sidewalk
along Lincoln. The present design seems less safe for pedestrians along Lincoln and may
require the use of safety railings among other things. Why was this redesigned? Cross
sections for Lincoln should go beyond right-of-way to illustrate the wall (and ditch) situation.
Response: Acknowledged. We have moved back to the stepped wall, as per the typical
section, which has been added to the plans.
Number: 112 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] The elimination of the median along Lincoln no longer creates the need to have the
note added to the plans regarding the vesting of access along Lincoln.
Response: Acknowledged.
Number: 113 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] The elimination of the median along Lincoln resulted in a narrower road width than
previously shown for Lincoln. A by-product of this change is an offset in lane alignment
along Lincoln Avenue heading westbound across the Lemay intersection. I'm measuring a
7' offset which is beyond the maximum allowed in our street standards (2' is the maximum
allowed in a hardship situation).
Response: Acknowledged. The offset issue has been corrected as per our discussions with
Engineering and Traffic.
Number: 114 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] Doesn't the driveway access off Lemay require some sort of sawcut along Lemay in
order to have the driveway built?
Response: Acknowledged. A sawcut line is now shown.
Number: 115 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] Please provide spot elevation information for the patching along Lincoln in order to
demonstrate that the additional pavement width results in cross slope and drainage
considerations meeting our requirements. Spot elevations should include not just the new
width added but existing. (Cross sections would also provide similar information of benefit
for review).
Response: Acknowledged. Spot elevations and slopes have been added to the interim
condition plan.
Number: 116 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] I'm seeing that the Lincoln right-of-way dedication does not coincide with the center
of the street, this does seem to differ slightly from the proposed design from Northern for
Page 5
[10/28/081 The information shown on the plans is sufficient for hearing purposes. For final
sheets should all be indicated as being either interim or ultimate. The plans are in general
still difficult to follow and should provide more labels and look at a scale that enlarges the
site such as sheet 4.
[10/14/08] The plan set needs to establish distinct interim and ultimate designs (with distinct
grading, horizontal control plans, plan and profile sheets and also signing and striping plans)
in order to demonstrate that the design's establishment of interim conditions will work in the
ultimate build -out of Lemay and Lincoln.
Response: Acknowledged. The plans have been labeled interim or ultimate and additional
labels have been provided to make the plan more readable.
Number: 46 Created: 10/15/2008
[3/3/09] With the road width for Lincoln now reduced by the elimination of the median and
the use of a center turn lane, the use of referring to previous plan sets for the design of
Lincoln no longer seems appropriate. At this point, the use of .4% flowline grades should be
reconsidered given the change in the design of Lincoln.
[10/281081 With the understanding that the vertical design was taken from a different plan
set, please indicate on the profile view, "vertical design per XX plan set"
[10/15/08) The street centerline design specified the use of centerline grades of .4% when
our minimum requirement is .5%.
Response: Acknowledged. The minimum slope has been changed to 0.50%.
Number: 91 Created: 10/17/2008
[3/3/09] The typical section information on Sheet 6 shows patching that leaves a seam
within the bikelane. The sawcut area should be shown to be expanded to encompass the
entire bikelane width (on both sides of Lincoln). In addition, street patching needs to be
"squared off' and not taper in accordance with our patching standards.
[10/28/08] The patching shown on the utility plan and the patching shown on the interim
striping plan need to be combined together to show the overall patching (which would ideally
be indicated on a demo plan along with the indication of the asphalt walk removal). This can
all be addressed at the time of final plan review however.
[10/17/08] Please clearly define patching limits for the street cuts needed for utility tie-ins.
Response: Acknowledged. The patching limits have been revised as per our recent
discussions.
Number: 92 Created: 10/17/2008
[3/3/09] Carried over as still a concern. The scale of the drawing combined with different
line weights that appear similar make for a plan set that is difficult to follow.
[10/28/08] As previously mentioned, the scale on Sheet 4 would be more ideal for the rest
of the plan set. Please ensure all sheets of the construction plan set have a standard city
approval block.
[10/17108] Using a larger scale for the drawings is recommended with the final plan
submittal, as the legibility of the plan set is potentially an issue.
Response: Acknowledged. The linetype scales have been revised to make the plan more
readable.

Minor changes in the species and plant locations may be made during construction as
required by site conditions. Overall quantity and quality to be consistent with approved
plans
Street tree locations shall be adjusted to allow for a minimum of a 40' clearance to street
lights (15' minimum if the tree is ornamental).
To the maximum extent feasible, topsoil that is removed during construction activities shall
be conserved for later use on areas requiring revegetation

[3/4/09] The plan shows a drainage swale east of Building #1 draining into a plant bed and
ending at the retaining wall to the detention basin. A plant bed and swale should not have
such conflicts. Provide details on the solution to convey the drainage over the wall into the
basin.
Response: Acknowledged. Retaining wall and swale have been revised- please refer to civil
plans. In addition the landscape has been revised to resolve any conflicts.

[3/2/09] The level of information shown for the plans for a final plan review requires more
information in accordance to LCUASS submittal requirements and checklist. Please look to
ensure that the information required is included. Among some (not all) concerns:
- Flowline profiles are required along the frontage of Lincoln and Lemay.
- Cross sections at 50' intervals for Lemay and Lincoln.
- Offsite design (per standards 1,000 feet offsite -- this can use previously approved design
information but it should still be shown; having the offsite design west of the site match a
common point with O'Dell's is satisfactory).
Response: Acknowledged. Flowline profiles and sections are shown for Lincoln.

[3/3/09] The 4" perforated drain pipe will need back flow prevention device so that water in
the detention pond will not back up into the pipe and impact the structural integrity of the
wall system.
[10127/081 Retaining wall needs work if it is to be used in the detention pond area. Work
with Stormwater and myself to develop an appropriate solution.

Number: 117 Created: 3/3/2009
[3/3/09] Detail for retaining wall does not relate to the hand rail or the sidewalk adjacent to
the wall along Lincoln. A dry stack wall will allow stormwater to permeate into the wall
system and potentially impact the cross section of the walk and railing. Provide an
appropriate design that addresses these issues.
Response. Acknowledged. Hand rail has been deleted due to the retaining wall being
staggered into (2) 3' sections therefore not requiring a hand rail. The lower 3' section is
concrete providing a non -permeable wall system.
