The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. 9. The site will be provided water and sewer services by the City of Fort Collins Utilities. Existing mains: 8-inch water line and 8-inch sewer line in Innovation Drive. Development fees and water rights will be due at, building permit. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 10. Please contact Ted Shepard, Current Planning Department, 221-6750 if you are interested in setting up the required neighborhood information meeting for the Addition of a Permitted Use. 7 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. 5 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, 224-6187. 6. The following comments are from the Engineering Department: A. Larimer County's Road Impact Fees and the City of Fort Collins Street Oversizing Fees are due at the time of building permit issuance. Please contact Matt Baker at 221-6108 if you have any questions on how these fees are determined. B. Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For additional information on these fees, please see http://www.fcgov.com/engineerinq/dev-review. php C. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. 3 �rof t� Collins 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 Current Planning 281 N Colle`ge Ave - PO Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 fcgov.com/currentplanning 970.221.6750 �`'t� of Fort C' April 29, 2009 Mr. Stewart King Kodiak Construction and Design 37126 Soaring Eagle Circle Windsor, CO 80550 Dear Stewart: Planning, Development and Transportation Services Current Planning 281 N.
