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: Ted Shepard Chief Planner Page 10 [10/15/08] Show all dry utilities on the utility plan to determine if there are conflicts with the proposed sanitary sewer. Response: Acknowledged. All available information concerning dry utilities is included. It is possible that some utility providers did not mark their lines in response to the utility locate call. Number: 57 Created: 10115/2008 [3/4/09] [10/29/08] Final compliance item. [10/15/08] More discussion is needed on the water service sizes. Some appear to be too small for the proposed use. Response: Acknowledged. The water meter sizes for the phase II building have been revised. Number: 59 Created: 10/15/2008 [3/4/09] [10/29/08] Final compliance item. [10/15/08] Please keep us in the loop as the mechanical plans for the brewery take shape so we can work together on the metering and monitoring items which affect impact fees and monthly billings. Response: Acknowledged. Number: 119 Created: 3/4/2009 [314/091 Provide water service sizing talc's for the residential portion of Bldg 2. A 3/4-inch service is not adequate for 12 units. Response: This service has been upsized to a 2". Number: 120 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Add the fire lines and water services on the profile of Storm Line C. Response: Acknowledged, Number: 122 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] See redlined plans for additional comments. Response: Acknowledged. Number: 123 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Return redlined plans with the next submittal. Response: Acknowledged. Department: Zoning Topic: Zoning Number: 6 Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Created: 9/29/2008 [2/10/09] 1 only received an elevation drawing of one building (sheet A3.0). The sheet doesn't indicate which building it is, not does it show the overall height of the building. Need Page 9 Response: Acknowledged. The light bollards have been removed there is sufficient site lighting without them Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Floodplain Number: 93 Created: 10/20/2008 [3/9/09] Comments 1 and 2 still need to be addressed. [10/20/08) 1. Please include a note on the Plat that the entire property is in the FEMA- designated Poudre River 500-year floodplain. 2. Please include a note on the Grading Plan and Drainage Plan that the entire property is in the FEMA-designated Poudre River 500-year Floodplain. Response: Acknowledged. 3. In the Drainage report, please list the FEMA map panel # in the text. Please include a copy of the FIRM in the appendix with the site location marked. Response: Acknowledged. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Plat Number: 121 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Provide easement 10 feet each side of N/S sewer in the drive. Response: Acknowledged. 10' Easement was provided. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque 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. Number: 95 Created: 10/20/2008 [3/9/09] Please see redlines. One or two trees need to be relocated. [10/20/08] Please provide 10 feet of separation between the storm sewer and all trees. Response: Acknowledged. Trees were relocated to provide 10' of separation. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 53 Created: 10/15/2008 [3/4/09] [10/29/081 Page 8 Topic: Plat Number: 36 Created: 10/14/2008 [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. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 109 Created: 2/13/2009 [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 Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 64 Created: 10/16/2008 [3/5/09] Please contact me regarding location of FDC(s). [10/16/08] FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: Fire department connections 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 or as otherwise approved by the fire code official. If possible, a fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the FDC. PFA Bureau Policy Response: An FDC is located at Entry#1 of the Fort Collins Brewery project. The FDC faces west toward the fire access easement. The FDC is located within 100' of a proposed fire hydrant location. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: MattWempe Topic: Site Plan Number: 124 Created: 3/4/2009 [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. Page 7 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 Topic: General Number: 45 Created: 10/15/2008 [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 Page 6 Number: 110 Created: 3/3/2009 [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. Page 4 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 Response: Acknowledged. Notes have been added. Number: 135 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Street trees along Lemay and Lincoln are to be more than one species to provide for a diverse streetscape. Response: Acknowledged. Two different species were selected for both the Lincoln and Lemay streetscapes. Number: 136 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Planting details are to specify the root ball hole to be twice the diameter of the root bal I with equal distance from edge of hole to root ball. Response: Acknowledged. Planting details have been revised Number: 137 Created: 3/4/2009 [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. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Construction Plans Number: 41 Created: 10/14/2008 [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. Page 3 Response: Acknowledged. Trees were replaced with the Spring Snow Crab Apple. Number: 129 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] River Birch are not a hardy species. They are susceptible to freezing in the winter time and may not survive. Consider changing to a tree that is hardy to the area. Response: Acknowledged. Trees were replaced with Quaking Aspens to tolerate the weather and water conditions. Number: 130 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4109] Provide detail on steel tube with bamboo shoots. Bamboo roots can be fairly aggressive and in the right conditions some can be extremely aggressive, spreading dozens of feet a year. A popular method for controlling bamboo is to install a rhizome barrier. Consider as a part of solution. Response: Acknowledged. Additional detail was provided on the rhizome barrier. Number: 131 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Add seeding rates and application methods to the notes on types of seeding. Response: Acknowledged. Seeding rates and application methods were not added since we are using sod instead. Number: 132 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] The note #6 is redundant on the landscape general notes and should be removed. If there are no existing trees on site, then notes #11,12,18 and 19 can be removed. Response: Acknowledged. Notes have been deleted. Number: 133 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Note # 16 will be 2 notes as follows: The irrigation system for landscaped areas shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Fort Collins. Irrigation plans to be reviewed as part of the construction permit review process. The irrigation system must be installed according to the approved plans, or an acceptable financial security deposited with the City prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. All turf areas to be irrigated with an automated, pop-up irrigation system. All shrub beds to be irrigated with a drip system. All perennial beds to be irrigated with xeri-pop spray heads. Response: Acknowledged. Notes have been added. Number: 134 Created: 3/4/2009 [314/09] The following notes are to be added to the plan: All trees to meet City of Fort Collins land use Code standards for size. Page 2 i STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Cih,of Fort Collins PREVIEW ARCHITECTURE Date: 3/10/2009 OLEXA TKACHENKO 204 WALNUT STREET, SUITE A FORT COLLINS, CO 80524 Staff has reviewed your submittal for Fort Collins Brewery PDP - Type II and Final Plans, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Topic: General Number: 79 Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Created: 10/16/2008 [3/3/09] Gary Schroeder is available to talk about the Integrated Design Assistance program. His phone is 221-6395. [10/27/08] Please refer to any meetings or communication with Gary Schroeder as the building design evolves. 110/16/08] Strongly recommend that you follow up with Gary Schroeder in Utilities on the building design with the Integrated Design Assistance Program per his conceptual review comments. Response: Acknowledged We have researched the city's programs and rebates and will participate in those that fit into our project and budget. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 99 Created: 10/27/2008 [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. Response: Acknowledged. 4" perforated drain pipe has been added 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. Number: 128 Created: 3/4/2009 [3/4/09] Radiant Crab Apple tree is a fruit bearing tree. This will present a maintenance problem along the walkway in front of building #1 on west side of the building. The Spring Snow does not bear fruit. Page I
