Lighting. Al was concerned with transgression of light onto his property and quality of light. Don noted that by zoning ordinance, light at ground level is not allowed to transgress onto adjacent properties. Therefore, cut-off type fixtures are utilized for pole and building mounted fixtures. He also noted that house side shields will be mounted on pole lights to avoid direct view of the lamp source of the fixtures from Al's adjoining property. It was further noted that the lamp types will be high pressure sodium (HPS) vs. metal halide which is a more yellow, residential coloration than metal halide. HPS is consistent with the lamp type used in street lights. b. Head light screening. Al indicated he would like to see a fence installed at the curb line of the parking lot to screen headlights. He preferred this to a fence located at the property line. Bob noted a fence at the curb line of the parking lot would cause problems with snow removal. There was discussion of providing screening through landscaping vs. a solid fence which Al was open to but was concerned about growth rate vs effectiveness. It was agreed upsized plantings would be utilized. Tam noted she would provide photos of various plant materials for Al and PFA's review. c. Drainage. Al was concerned that the new embankment along the property line could lead to increased water onto his property. Don noted that all runoff from the parking lot is directed to and collected at the southeast corner of the parking lot. This drainage is then piped to a detention pond at the west side of the building. Therefore, this drainage would not be surface drained along the property line. Storm waters from the landscaped, embankment between the parking lot and property line will be carried to the south by means of a drainage swale running along the property line. d. Property Security. Since the security fencing along Spring Creek Trail is scheduled to be removed at the extent of PFA's property, Al was concerned that pedestrian traffic that may be moving across the fire station site might transgress across his west property line. He asked that a security fence be installed along this entire property line. Bob is to review this with Craig Forman to ascertain if the current security fencing along Spring Creek might be reused along this property line. These meeting minute notes were prepared by Don Watkins of Belford Watkins Group Architects. Any person attending the meeting who notes any inaccurate statements or has a question A r c h rc a cr a re 111 a nn ing Interiors Date: Jan 23, 2009 Attendees: Al Sedlak Ted Shepard Bob Poncelow Carie Dann Tam Wahl Don Watkins Subject: PFA Station #4 Neighbor Meeting Fort Collins, Colorado Project #08006 By: Don Watkins MEETING MINUTES The purpose of this meeting was to review concerns of the adjoining neighbor to the east of the property (Al Sedlak) and discuss potential resolutions. The following items are of note: 1. Al suggested an alternative approach to locating the fire station noting he would be willing to look at a trade of property exchanging PFA's current site with property he owns east of his residence property on Drake Road. He felt this alternate property would be advantageous to PFA in terms of infrastructure costs and alignment with Yorktown across Drake Road. Bob indicated that this decision would need to be made by the Fire Chief and PFA board and would review this with them to ascertain if there would be interest. 2. Don reviewed the design approach utilized in arriving at the current site layout including access for drive through bays, mitigation of disruption of traffic at Drake Road, solar orientation for response and return aprons, solar orientation for living quarters, use of provided parking, walk -out lower level, etc.
