HomeMy WebLinkAboutBELLA VIRA - FDP - 36-05A/B - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 -Response: It is no longer considered that 1" services are appropriate. These sizes have been revised to 1.5" services for all multi -family units. Number: 94 Created: 4/ 20/ 2006 [4/20/061 At final, please provide calculations for the sizing of the insulation thickness for the 16-inch waterline. Response: Sizing information has been added to the 16" Waterline Detail Sheet. Number: 95 Created: 4/ 20/ 2006 [4/20/061 At final, there needs to be some reconfiguration of the water services in the multi -family area. The meter pits are directly adjacent to the driveways or sandwiched between two driveways. The meter pits are not traffic rated and there is a good chance they will be driven over being so close to the pavement. There should be ample room to move these to another location along each building. A distance of 5 feet from the driveway to the edge of the meter pit would be adequate. Response: The meter pits have been revised - please see the utility plan for new locations. Number: 97 Created: 4/20/2006 [4/20/06] Water/Wastewater is ready for a hearing. At final design, additional detailed comments may be presented. Response: So noted. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 5 Created: 12 / 23 / 2005 [4/6/06] I understand the applicant is requesting a modification to this standard. If the modification is approved, then this is resolved. [12/23/051 Section 4.2(E)(2)(b) limits the maximum density in the RF cluster plan to not more than 1 unit per gross acre. The gross area of the RF portion is a little over 15 acres, meaning that the maximum number of dwelling units in the cluster plan is limited to 15. They are proposing 20 dwelling units. Response: A modification to the standard was requested and approved at the May 18 P&Z hearing allowing 20 units in the RF zoning district. Please contact me should you have any concerns or questions. Sincerely, Matthew J. Blakely, ASLA Jim Sell Design Inc. CC: John Minatta, OFP Development, LLC Page 10 Number: 70 Created: 2 / 6 / 2006 [4/ 19/06] Again, this pertains to the multi -family dwellings on Bella Vita Drive. The Fire Department Connections (FDCs) must be on the fire lane side, so they are accessible. [2/6/06] An approved automatic fire sprinkler system shall be installed throughout multi- family dwellings three or more stories in height. Response: The entire access drive is a dedicated fire lane and therefore the FCDs are adjacent to the fire lane. Number: 92 Created: 4/ 19/ 2006 14/ 19/06] We require a Knox Box be mounted to the appropriate structure(s) so we can access the automatic -sprinkler riser room(s) supplying the multi -family dwellings. Response: So noted. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: General Number: 57 Created: 1 / 13/ 2006 [4/ 18/06] Repeat comment/question. [ 1 / 13/ 06] Would it be possible to better align the pedestrian crossing of West Elizabeth (west side of Overland) so that the crossing isn't skewed. I understand that there are some utility conflicts but would like to see if we can fix this. Thanks. Response: A significant effort was invested with engineering and utilities prior to and during the formal design at this problematic location. The proposed design is a good solution that accommodates utility department concerns while maintaining a safe pedestrian access. By moving the sidewalk to be in compliance with the directional standard we would have to cut into the grade of the vault area and create abrupt grade transition. We feel that the slight skew of the sidewalk direction is less hazardous than abrupt grade changes around the sidewalk within this confined area. The design team is not aware of additional feasible options to minimize the skew angle, but is receptive to ideas that may improve the geometry of the crossing. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 96 Created: 4 / 20/ 2006 [4/20/061 Stormwater is ready for a hearing. At final, detailed comments may be offered once more information is presented. Response: So noted. Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 45 Created: 1 / 10/ 2006 [4/20/061 Easement is adequate. Will need to see official documents during final compliance. [ 1 / 10/ 06] The tap to the existing 16-inch water main needs to be in a utility easement as well as the new line entering the site. This may require an off -site utility easement. Response: This easement and associated information is presented on the Final Plat Number: 93 Created: 4/ 20/ 2006 [4/20/061 At final, please provide water service sizing calculations to determine if a 1-inch service will be adequate for the 5 and 6-plex buildings. Page 9 Section 3.6.2.(L)(a) did not provide for the naming of private drives. Subsequently the code has been modified to allow for the naming of private drives and we request that we be allowed to apply this revised code language to the Bella Vira PDP and name the private drive in compliance with applicable stated criteria of the LUC." Number: 26 Created: 12 / 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] The request has been granted. [12/29/05] A variance request will be needed to eliminate the 9' utility easement on the north side of Elizabeth. Response: So noted Topic: Technical Services Number: 98 Created: 4/ 20 / 2006 [4/20/061 Tech. Services Comments: 1. Easements need to be locatable on the plat. 2. Note the origin of ROW dedication for Overland Trail. 3. Fix overlapping text. Response: The above -mentioned issues have been corrected. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: fire Number: 67 Created: 2 / 6 / 2006 [4/ 19/06] This issue is revolved. However, I wanted to note that this private drive is now named Bella Vita Drive. Also, we need to ensure it is designated EAE on the plat. [2/6/06] The private drive shown as Vira Drive shall be a fire lane and shown on the plat as an emergency access easement. Vira Drive is required to be an unobstructed 20-foot- wide fire lane, signed "FIRE LANE - NO PARKING" and painted with red curbs, and it shall meet the remainder of the design criteria for fire lanes stipulated in section 3.6.6 of the FCLUC. Response: An emergency access easement has been dedicated with the Final Plat. Number: 68 Created: 2 / 6/ 2006 [4/ 19/06) This is now Bella Vita Drive. We request that buildings are numbered in a clockwise fashion beginning with the first building we access. Therefore, entering Bella Vita Drive from the east access, the buildings should be numbered as follows: The building shown on the site plan as #5 should be #1; shown Bldg 6 should be 2; shown Bldg 2 should be 3; shown Bldg 1 should be 4; shown Bldg 3 should be 5; and shown Bldg 4 should be 6. Also, we require monument signs at each access point to Bella Vita Drive, showing building numbers accessed on that private drive. [2/6/06] The multi -family dwellings on Vira Drive shall be addressed with consecutive numerals; the two buildings on the inside tract shall have odd numerals and the buildings on the outside shall have even numerals. Addresses on the structures shall be visible from Vira Drive, mounted on the buildings with numerals at least six inches high on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not allowed.) Monument signage showing the building addresses shall also be mounted at each entry onto Vira Drive, from Elizabeth Street. Response: The building envelopes have been adjusted to reflect a clockwise numbering system per your request. The information shown on the plat/site plan is purely for processing purposes. Once the units are ultimately addressed they will comply with the requirements outlined above. Page 8 Number: 19 Created: 12/29/2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/051 Please label and dimension all existing and proposed sidewalks and accesses. Response: Sidewalks and accesses have been labeled and dimensioned on the Site Plan Topic: Landscape plan Number: 88 Created: 4/ 7 / 2006 [4/7/06] Add dimension arrows for the easements on the site and landscape plans. Response: Dimension arrows have been added. Topic: Plat Number: 7 Created: 12 / 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] Repeat [12/29/05] Remove centerlines on easements- they just clutter the drawing. Response: The legal and the exhibit for the 20' easement are written as a centerline description. The 10' utility easement will also be dimensioned by centerline. Therefore the surveyor feels that it would be inappropriate to remove these easement centerlines from the plat. They have been removed from the other submittal drawings. (This is the same response as was noted for the comment when given on 12/29/05 - if this response is not acceptable please let JSD know) Topic: Streets Number: 21 Created: 12 / 29/ 2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/051 Flowline profiles will be needed in addition to centerline profiles for final compliance. Also at final, we'll want to see station and approximate locations of all utility crossings, and driveways. Response: The utility information has been added on the flowline profile sheets. The streets within the single-family area has a drive -over curb and gutter section. Driveways have not been located at this time. Number: 22 Created: 12 / 29/ 2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/05] Sheet 10: Please reference the design mentioned in Sunflower Dr. note. Response: Reference to the Ponds Subdivision road design has been made on the Plan and Profile sheets. Number: 24 Created: 12 / 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] (PH) [12/29/051 Under the standards at the time of this submittal, it is not permissable to have a named private drive. The proposed layout would be ok for an unnamed private drive, but to pursue a named one would either require a modification to the Land Use Code, or pulling and re -submitting after the new private drive standards are approved. With the latter option, all new Transportation Development Review fees would apply. Response: The following narrative was included in a letter requesting a modification of the standard with our preliminary submittal and was approved: "Jim Sell Design, Inc (JSD) represents John Minatta of the OFP Development Company, the owner and developer of the Bella Vira PDP. The purpose of this letter is to request a modification of standard to Section 3.6.2.(L)(a), of the Land Use Code (LUC). At the time of this PDP submittal on Dec 20, 2005, Page 7 Response: This parking spot has been eliminated. Number: 87 Created: 4/7/2006 [4/7/06] (PH) Please add pedestrian access ramps at the ends of all the cul-de-sac bulbs per LCUASS Fig. 7-14. Response: Pedestrian access ramps have been added. Number: 90 Created: 4/ 19/2006 [4/ 19/06] The Ditch Company should sign all applicable plan sheets, as well as the plat. Response: The Ditch Companies signature block has been added to the applicable sheets. Number: 91 Created: 4/ 19/2006 (4/ 19/06] Per LCUASS Section 7.7.4, concentrated flows across a sidewalk are not allowed. Engineering has set the maximum area of impervious area allowable at 750 square feet. Please adjust the design of your cul-de-sacs to meet this requirement. This will apply on Fiore Ct. and on Pratolina Ct. Response: Cul-de-sacs and their associated street sections are not subject to this 750 s.f. drainage area criteria - this was confirmed with Dan Delaughter at a meeting on 5/5/06. Number: 99 Created: 4/ 21 / 2006 [4/ 21 / 06] Please add a splash guard to the other side of the water main vault, and flatten the grade in order to provide more cover over the 16" water line that runs under the area. Response: A splash guard note has been added. This comment was triggered by a misunderstanding from Dan on which way the cross section was cut. This was discussed and clarified at a meeting with Dan on 5/5/06. Topic: Grading plans Number: 11 Created: 12/ 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] Terry Farrill has indicated that offsite grading on FC Loveland property is ok as shown. [12/29/051 Sheet 7: In several locations, you're showing offsite grading to tie in your contours. Grading and/or construction easements would be required in these locations with letters of intent from the affected property owners received prior to hearing. This also applies on the south side of the site, where it appears that you plan to construct sidewalk along the FC- Loveland Water District's frontage. Response: All ROW improvements near FCLWD are confined to the ROW or within the PV&L's existing easement and will not require additional easements for construction or grading improvements. Number: 16 Created: 12/29/2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/05] Where slopes exceed 4:1 affecting public improvements, our standards (LCUASS 7.7.2) require retaining walls. It's appears that these slopes are exceeded near the storm drain pipes under Elizabeth. Response: Many of these slopes have been modified. Where we could not accommodate a 4:1 slope on the south side of the West Elizabeth extension of short section of sub-4 foot wall was added. Please see the Grading and Landscape Plan for additional information. Page 6 [4/6/06] (PH) Please show the offsite trail connection to the Ponds trail on the SE corner of the site. Response: This trail connection has been added. Please see the Site Plan more information. Number: 78 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] Please extend street profiles to the centerline of intersecting streets. Response: Street profile flowlines have been extended. Number: 79 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] (PH) On the Overland Trail improvements sheet, you are showing an "interim condition" for the existing access location. This access should be removed and closed, since no phasing has been proposed. Response: This access point is now shown as to be removed and closed in the plan set. Number: 80 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/061 Please show striping to indicate the location of the bike lane north of the barricade. Response: Please see Overland Trail Signing and Striping Plan for this existing bike lane striping. Number: 81 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] Please remove the car shapes from the utility plans - they only clutter the sheet. Response: Car shapes have been removed. Number: 82 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] Label and dimension all utility easements on the utility sheets. Response: Utility easements have been labeled and dimensioned on the Utility Plan. Number: 83 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] The section of Elizabeth between the eastern Bella Vita access and Overland Trail should not have any parking on -street. Response: This area has been signed as "No -Parking" on the Overland Trail/ Elizabeth Signing and Striping Plan. Number: 84 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] District Utilities signature block is not included on details sheets. Response: Please see response for comment # 55. Number: 85 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] Please refer to redlines for additional minor changes and comments. Response: Additional redline comments have been addressed. Number: 86 Created: 4 / 7/ 2006 [4/7/06] (PH) The parking space closest to Elizabeth on the eastern portion of Bella Vita Dr. should be eliminated. It defeats the purpose of widening out the entrance Page 5 [4/6/06] [12/29/051 For vault detail, splash guard is only shown on one side. If not proposed on the other side, change the note, and ensure that there is 1' clear flat area behind the sidewalk. Response: A splash guard note has been added. This comment was triggered by a misunderstanding from Dan on which way the cross section was cut. This was discussed and clarified at a meeting with Dan on 5/5/06. Topic: General Number: 30 Created: 12 / 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/05] Scanability is an issue on many of the sheets. Some line types are too light, some overlapping text problems. Please refer to redlines, Appendix E-6, and talk with J.R. in our technical services department regarding how to clean up the drawings. Response: Drawings have been modified for improved scanability. Number: 31 Created: 12/29/2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/05] Refer to redlines for additional minor comments. Response: Additional comments have been corrected. Number: 55 Created: 1 / 11 / 2006 [4/6/06] Still Missing on detail sheets [1/ 11/06] District Utilities signature block should be provided on all sheets. Response: Non -City utilities and districts have emphasized that they do not want to review any drawings that do not directly affect them. They have specified that only applicable sheets should receive their signature block. Number: 74 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] This plan set would benefit largely from including a separate existing conditions/demolition and removal plan sheet. Then, you can pull off existing features from many other sheets where they are not really needed. Response: An Existing Conditions and Demo sheet has been added to the plan set. Number: 75 Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] (PH) Bella Vita Dr. must also be dedicated as an emergency access easement. You will probably want to specify the easement area separately from the Tract A on the plat, since the parking bump outs would not be able to be used if dedicated as emergency access. Response: An emergency assess easement has been dedicated. Please see the Final Plat for the exact location. Number: 76 . Created: 4/6/2006 [4/6/06] There are many instances of overlapping text and contours on all sheets. Response: Overlapping text and contours have been cleaned up. Number: 77 Created: 4/6/2006 Page 4 Topic: Utility Plan Number: 108 Created: 4/27/2006 [4/27/06] Terry Farrill of the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District & the South Fort Collins Sanitation District made the following comment: A note is to be shown on all sheets relative to the District's existing 36" water line to indicate that all work near the water line or within the District's easement is to be coordinated with the District prior to commencing work. Please contact Terry, at 226-3104 x 104, if you have questions or require additional information. Response: The note has been added to the appropriate sheets. Number: 109 Created: 4/27/2006 [4/27/061 Doug Martine of Light & Power offered the following comment: The issue of the manhole in the gutter area of Overland Trail has been discussed by Light & Power staff. Having a manhole in this position will result in significant water entering the vault. Water in the vault is compounded by the use of magnesium chloride products to de-ice roadways. The resulting corrosion of electric equipment is a major issue that will need to be resolved. This issue will not prevent the project from proceeding to a Planning & Zoning Board public hearing, with the exception of a possible decision to relocate the curb (narrowing the bike lane) being an issue for others such as the Streets Department. Please be aware that if the curb cannot be relocated to the east, it will be necessary for Light & Power to relocate the vault at the developer's expense. Since this is a major substation tie facility (the most major underground line Light & Power installs), the cost of relocation could be well over $20,000,00. Please contact Doug, at 224-6152, if you want to discuss this matter further. Response: The curb and flowline has been relocated out and around the west side of the electric manhole with a series of 15' radius curves. Please see the Overland Trail Plan and Profile Sheet for additional design information. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Dan DeLaughter Topic: Details Number: 27 Created: 12 / 29 / 2005 [4/6/06] [12/29/051 Provide spot elevations on south side of Overland Access.
