H. ADDRESS NUMERALS
Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and
posted with a minimum six-inch high numerals on a contrasting background.
(Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable).
8. The following comments are from the Stormwater Utility:
A. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required
and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
B. If there is an increase in impervious area greater than 1,000 square feet,
onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate not to
exceed 0.23 cfs/acre for water quantity.
C. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not
deeper than one foot. This site may have detention volume provided for it
in the Golden Meadows detention pond which will need to be verified by
the design engineer and documented in the drainage report. If this is true,
the amount of onsite detention may be reduced to only the amount of
volume generated by the difference in the older rainfall and present rainfall
requirements. The Golden Meadows Business Park drainage study is
available at the Stormwater Utility office.
D. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm
Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices
(BMPs). The use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
E. The drainage outfall for this site could be the curb and gutter of Innovation
Dr. The inventory map shows inlets on the east and west sides of the
street but in the wrong locations. The inlets are across the street from
each other, and one is located in front of this lot. This inlet could be used
to get a lower outfall than the curb and gutter. The inlet is in a sump area
in the street; therefore, relocating it would be very expensive. The inlet
could be converted to a different style of inlet should the applicant want to
place a driveway to that location. Depending on the flow capacity of the
inlet, it may need to be enlarged to have the same capacity. The applicant
indicated there was a ditch along the east property line. This was
confirmed, and there is a 10-foot wide easement along both sides of the
property line. The driveway entrance into the substation is blocking the low
flows of the ditch. This is also a viable outfall for the site. A pipe is needed
under the driveway to open up the ditch. There is an irrigation ditch to the
north, but it cannot be used for drainage.
F. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the
Fox Meadows Master Drainage Plan Update as well the City's Design
Criteria and Construction standards.
f�
Poudre Fire Authority requires a key box ("Knox Box") to be mounted in approved
location(s) on every new building equipped a required fire -sprinkler system or
fire -alarm system.
E. AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS
Proposed structures may be required to be equipped with approved automatic
fire -sprinkler systems, depending on occupancy type, construction type, building
size, emergency -vehicle access, water supply and other factors.
F. WATER SUPPLY
Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district
having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow
must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow
and spacing requirements include: Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual
pressure, spaced not farther than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers
thereafter; residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual
pressure, spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers
thereafter; residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual
pressure, spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers
thereafter.
These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire
sprinkler systems.
G. REQUIRED ACCESS
Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or
portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's
jurisdiction when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the
first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access
as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility.
This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained
unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to
installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant
standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general
requirements:
➢ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or
concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road
base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites.
➢ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and
enforceable.
➢ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
➢ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of
the fire lane (30 feet on at least one long side of the building when the
structures is three or more stories in height).
If the building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic fire -
sprinkler system, the fire code official is authorized to increase the
dimension of 150 feet.

D. Please contact Joe Olson, 224-6062, and Transportation Planning to
schedule a scoping meeting and determine if a traffic study is needed
for this project.
E. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance
with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS).
F. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and
easements that are necessary for this project (possible right-of-way
and utility easement if not already dedicated).
G. This development is responsible for the design and construction of
sidewalk along its frontage.
H. All parking stall depths, widths, drive aisle widths and setbacks must
meet be designed in accordance with Figure 19-6 and 19-7 of
LCUASS.
Please see Table 7-3 of LCUASS for driveway separation
requirements.
J. Utility plans will be needed for this project. A development agreement
will be done with this project. A Development Construction Permit
(DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site.
K. Normally, allowing two driveways for one lot that is only 115 feet in
width would not be allowed. A variance would be required. For further
information, please contact Susan Joy, 221-6750.
7. The following comments are from Poudre Fire Authority:
A. BUILDING AREA
The proposed building exceeds 5,000 square feet for Type V construction and
shall be fire contained or fire sprinklered.
B. FIRE LINE REQUIREMENT
Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered shall have a minimum 6-inch fire
line unless hydraulic calculations can support a smaller fire line.
C. 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.
D. KEY BOXES REQUIRED
E
stand-alone request or in conjunction with a Project Development Plan
(P.D.P.).
3. The maximum number of parking spaces allowed is 6 spaces per 1000 s.f.
of floor area. You are encouraged to investigate shared parking on
neighbors' lots for nights and weekends especially with competition events
to avoid on -street parking problems.
4. The plan will need to comply with the applicable regulations in Articles 3
and 4. There is not enough detail on the conceptual site plan for
comments at this time. Staff is available for a pre -submittal meeting to
further discuss site planning details.
5. The site will be provided electrical power by the City of Fort Collins
Utilities. Existing electric facilities running along the East side of
Innovation Dr. adjacent to this property. An existing electric vault at the
Northwest corner of this property will serve as the feed for this property.
Any relocation or modification to existing electric facilities will be at the
expense of the owner. The owner will need to coordinate a transformer
location with Light & Power so that it is within 10' of an all-weather drive -
over surface for emergency change -out. Light and Power will need a C-1
Form and a One -Line diagram to Light & Power with power requirements.
Finally, the owner will be responsible for Electric Capacity Fees and
Building Site charges. For further information, please contact Rob Irish,

CONCEPTUAL REVIEW
ITEM: Rocky Mountain Archery — 4518 Innovation Drive
MEETING DATE: April 20, 2009
APPLICANT: Mr. Stewart King, Kodiak Construction and Design,
37126 Soaring Eagle Circle, Windsor, CO 80550.
LAND USE DATA: This is a request to construct an 11,266 square foot
building for an indoor archery range and pro shop. The site is 4518 Innovation
Drive located within the Golden Meadows Industrial Park. The site is vacant and
contains 27,600 square feet. The primary use is indoor recreation with ancillary
retail sales and service of equipment. This would be a full -service archery facility
with locker rooms, viewing area and a technical range featuring an animated
video screen.
COMMENTS:
1. The site is zoned H-C, Harmony Corridor and located within the Basic
Industrial and Non -retail Employment Activity Center. Since the building
exceeds 5,000 square feet, the proposed use is classified as "Unlimited
Indoor Recreation" which is not permitted in the H-C. The retail sales and
service activity associated with the pro shop would be classified as an
accessory use to the archery range rather than another principal use.
2. The building location as shown doesn't comply with the build -to -line
standards in 3.5.3(B)(2) unless it's determined that one of the exceptions
applies. This standard requires that the building be placed no more than
15 feet behind the right-of-way line for Innovation Drive. Since other
buildings along Innovation were constructed prior to the adoption of this
standard, please discuss with Staff the practicalities of a Modification of
Standard where the building would be place in alignment with the existing
buildings on either side of the lot. A Modification may be submitted as a
