HomeMy WebLinkAboutNORTH COLLEGE TACO JOHN'S - PDP - 13-10 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)emphasis on auto -related usage, lower wattage fixtures must be selected. Most
shopping centers utilize 250 watt or 400 watt fixtures with no loss of night time
visibility or safety.
14. There can be no more than 0.1 (one -tenth) foot-candle as measure 20 feet from
property line. The plan must provide this data. If this maximum is exceeded, then
house -side shields must be installed.
15. The light loss factor must be 1.00, not .75.
16. Remove the note that refers to fixtures being tilted at 30 degrees. This is not
allowed. Fixtures must be at 90 degree cutoff and fully shielded. At final, we will
need a specification sheet for the selected fixture.
17. The architectural elevations indicate wall -mounted goose -neck fixtures. These
fixtures must be included in the schedule. And, be sure that the foot-candles are
included in the point -by -point illuminance plan. Note that the lamp must be totally
surrounded by the housing and not protrude below. As with the pole fixtures, a
specification sheet will be needed at final.
18. Please establish the location of the electrical transformer. The transformer must
not be visible from North College Avenue and be within 10 feet of hard surface for
emergency change -out. The transformer may be sized to serve the future
development on the south side of the property so you may want to pick a location
strategically. If not, the back of the store would be an ideal location so as to not
interfere with North College Avenue landscaping.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans
when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues
related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750.

owner/manager of the park about replacing the existing fence to the mutual benefit
of both parties? If the fences are owned by Taco John's, then they should simply
be replaced.
2. The site plan indicates existing trees and stumps. Please describe their ultimate
status under fully developed conditions. If any are located on the property line,
please obtain permission from the adjoining owner prior to removal.
3. On the site plan, please label the existing uses on the three surrounding sides.
4. On the landscape plan, please provide a tree mitigation schedule which indicates
the number and caliper size of trees to be removed and the number and caliper
size of the mitigation trees.
5. The shrubs that are proposed between the store and the public sidewalk should be
continued to the south property line. A mix of species is recommended. For
consistency, a minimum height of two to three feet is recommended.
6. Please provide a cluster of plant material to screen headlight glare that would
impact the residential property to the west.. Placing a cluster of evergreen trees
along the west property line would be an effective screen. As there are no
evergreen trees on the landscape plan, please consider this location. Perhaps a
cluster of columnar spruce would be appropriate.
7. Please consider reducing the number of Skyline Honeylocust and replace with any
of the deciduous shade trees approved by the City Forester for street trees (i.e.
Hackberry, Green Ash, Littleleaf Linden).
8. Note that the Broadmoor Juniper needs to be specified for a 5-gallon container.
9. Please indicate that "veneer" is cultured stone (Ledgestone) to match the building.
10. After Wednesday's project review meeting, I learned that the interim detention pond
will be relatively shallow and flat. Have you considered adding picnic tables, trash
containers, etc. to this area to encourage outdoor dining? Such improvements do
not have to be permanent and would be a natural addition to the walkway that
connects to the mobile home park. Further, with the park -like setting, Taco John's
would enjoy a competitive advantage over other drive-through/fast food restaurants
in the North College Avenue corridor. Such improvements would be a significant
attribute in attracting the bike -in and walk-up trade from residents and employees in
the area.
11. On the architectural elevations, the exterior of the chiller unit must be upgraded to
match one of the materials used on the exterior of the store.
12. Please provide a schematic indicating the materials of the trash enclosure.
13. On the lighting plan, the use of 1,000 watt metal halide fixtures is excessive. For
example, these fixtures are used at the corner of College Avenue and Mountain
Avenue which sees significantly higher levels of bicycle and pedestrian traffic than
what would be expected at Taco John's. For a site of this size, with a heavy

however, additional development fees and water rights would be due. If 10 gpm is

Comments from Current Planning:
On the Site Plan, please describe the future status of the existing fences along the
west and south property lines. Are these fences owned by the adjoining mobile
home park and to remain? If so, then the condition of the fences, particularly the
west fence, will significantly detract from the overall appearance of the finished site
and new building. In which case, have you considered contacting the

[7/2/10] This project is responsible for the design and construction of the ultimate

[7/2/10]. The plat will need to include a access easement to provide access to the southern
lot should it ever need access in the future. The Emergency Access Easement proposed on
