HomeMy WebLinkAboutAIR CARE COLORADO - PDP - 2-10 - CORRESPONDENCE - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEW11. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and must be prepared
by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The applicant indicated that this development
was originally approved in the County and that the drainage system was designed to convey the
runoff to Boxelder Creek without detention.
Response: Acknowledged
12. Normally, 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.
Documentation needs to be provided to determine if discharge to Boxelder Creek without
detention can be allowed. In addition, the rainfall intensity needs to be checked to see if it is the
correct one. Larimer County does require the use of the Fort Collins rainfall intensity curves in
the GMA before the site was annexed, but since the study was prepared a quite a long time ago,
a different intensity curve may have been used.
Response: Acknowledged
13. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria

1. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use
Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards and Section 4.21 Commercial
District.
Response. Acknowledged
2. As discussed at the Conceptual Review Meeting, this development request may need to request
several Modification of Standard Requests (LUC, Sect. 2.8.2). You have the option to either
request these modifications as part of your overall Project Development Plan, or run them as a
separate request. There are benefits to both scenarios:
a. Stand Alone Modification of Standards Request — This allows you to get the
modifications approved first so you don't spend the time and money getting all the
detailed plans completed without knowing if the modifications will even be approved.
This request would be processed as a Type 1 application just like the overall PDP. If you
would like to pursue this option, let me know and we can discuss submittal requirements.
b. Concurrent Modification Requests with PDP — Running the requested modifications
and PDP together is also an option. The only draw back is the Hearing Officer may not
support the modifications then you would either have to change your plans to meet the
standard or be back at square one with a project that was not approved.
Response: Acknowledged
3. The Plan as presented at Conceptual Review would need the following Modifications of Standard:
a. Section 3.5.3(B)(1) Orientation to a Connecting Walkway
b. Section 3.5.3(B)(2) Orientation to Build -to Lines for Streetfront Buildings
c. There would be more, but I am assuming that a sidewalk along the frontage road,
foundations plantings and the other required landscaping will be added to meet the
standards of Article 3.

4. The applicant for this development request is not required to hold a neighborhood information
meeting prior to formal submittal of the proposal, but staff always recommends having one.
Neighborhood meetings cost you nothing and offer an informal way to get feedback from your
surrounding neighbors and discover any potential hiccups prior to the formal hearing. If you
would like to have a neighborhood meeting, please contact Emma McArdle, at 221-6206, to
assist you in setting a date, time, and location. Emma, and possibly other City staff, would be
present to facilitate the meeting.
