HomeMy WebLinkAboutCROSSROADS SAFEHOUSE - PDP - 18-09 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)11. Normally a Transportation Impact Study is required. In the case of
Crossroads, with fewer clients and staff than the previous use, a waiver
may be allowed. Please contact Joe Olson, 224-6062, Traffic Engineer, to
discuss the waiver or the scope of the T.I.S.
12. If there are any sections of existing public sidewalk, curb and gutter that
are damaged or in disrepair, then these sections must be replaced or.
repaired. Please note that if new sidewalk is added, sections cannot be
added that are less than four feet wide.
13. At the time of submittal for the Major Amendment, the applicant will be
assessed the Transportation Development Review Fee. This fee is based
on a formula. Please contact Randy Maizland, 221-6605 for an estimate
of this fee or to discuss any Engineering issues.
14. Crossroads Safehouse is encouraged to incorporate a facility -wide
recycling program. Be sure there is adequate space in the trash

in the two panel sizes. For further information, please contact Bruce
Vogel at 221-6700.
3. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000 square feet, a
drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required
and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
A grading plan is required when there is between 1000 and 350 square
feet of new imperviousness, but no drainage study is required. There are
no requirements for less than 350 square feet.
4. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000 square feet,
onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate for water
quantity. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management
Practices (BMPs).
5. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the
Spring Creek Drainage Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design
Criteria and Construction standards.
6. The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new
impervious area over 350 square feet. No fee is charged for existing
impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is
issued.
7. There are two 2-inch domestic water services and a %-inch irrigation
service to the property. No changes to the existing water/sewer services
are planned; therefore, no comments at this time. For further information,
please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700.
8. The existing public sidewalks along Parker and Whedbee Streets are
attached to the curb and not in compliance with current standards. For the
proposed project, these sidewalks must either be widened by adding no
less than four feet of width, or demolishing and constructing new,
detached sidewalks in accordance with the current standard.
9. If there are any public sidewalks that are not handicap -accessible as per
Federal A.D.A. requirements, then these sidewalks must be improved
accordingly.
10. The first parking stall is too close to Parker Street. Cars maneuvering in.
and out of this space may impact traffic on Parker Street. This closest
space, and possibly the second one in, may not comply with the parking
lot setback standard and would have to be removed. For example, if there
are over 100 trips per day on Parker, then the first parking space must be
setback from the flowline by a minimum of 40 feet.

6aCONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
City of Fort Collins
ITEM: Crossroads Safehouse at 421 Parker Street
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2008
APPLICANT: Vicki Lutz, Executive Director, Crossroads Safehouse,
P.O. Box 993, Fort Collins, CO 80522 c/o Justin
Larson, JCL Architecture, 201 South College, Suite
205, Fort Collins, CO 80524.
LAND USE DATA: Request to change the use and renovate 421 Parker Street.
The building is one story and contains 27,000 square feet and is the former home
of Columbine Care Nursing Home. The new use would be a shelter for victims of
domestic violence and capable of housing up to 75 residents. There would be
eight -to -ten staff during the day and two -to -three staff at night. There would be
no expansion of the building but the entrance would be made more secure and a
security gate would be added to the parking lot entrance. The driveway onto
Whedbee Street would be closed. The existing portion of the parking lot that is
gravel would be paved.
COMMENTS:
The site is zoned L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -use Neighborhood. A
Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence for more than 15 clients is
permitted subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board (Type Two
Review). A neighborhood meeting is required which has already been
conducted back on June 2, 2008. The gravel portion of the parking lot
must be paved in order to bring the site up to compliance.
2. The site will continue to be served by the City of Fort Collins Light and
Power Department. The building is presently served with 100 KVA Single
Phase. As long as there is no change in the size of the electrical panel,
there will be no site or development charges assessed by Light and
Power. If there is an increase, then the customer pays only the difference
