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. Sincerely: I Ted Shepard Chief Planner Page 6 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 Page 5 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: WaterMastewater Number: 15 1 Created: 7/6/2010 [7/6/10] The water services shown on the plans are separate services that connect to the 8- inch water main in the east half of college. If the intent is to abandon the service, it must be. abandoned at the main. The applicant may want to consider using it for an irrigation tap. Number: 18 Created: 7/6/2010 [7/6/10] The existing water services were extended across College as 1-inch services. If Taco John's needs a flowrate greater than 10 gpm, a 1-inch meter could be installed; however, additional development fees and water rights would be due. If 10 gpm is adequate, the service must be reduced to 3/4-inch upstream of the curb stop and meter pit.

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 Page 4 Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 11 Created: 7/6/2010 Thank you for responding to all my conceptual comments, specifically, water supply (existing hydrant meets our requirements), Emergency Access Easement (on plat), address numerals (minimum 6 inches high, on College Avenue side of the building), and hood/duct suppression system.

Number: 7 Created: 7/2/2010 [7/2/10] This project is responsible for the design and construction of the ultimate improvements along its frontage on North College. However, since it is not appropriate to make the improvements at this time, this project will be required to escrow the funds required for the design and construction of the frontage improvements. Number: 8 Created: 7/2/2010 [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 the Plat could easily be changed to also be a access easement which would serve the southern lot. Number: 22 Created: 7/6/2010 [7/6/10] Please show more detail on the proposed connection to the existing driveway to the north. What will be constructed with this project and what will be left for a future North College project? How will the C&G from the site tie into what is existing and what will be happening out on College? Topic: Utility Plan Number: 24 Created: 7/9/2010 [7/9/10] The sidewalk should not be in Asphalt as it is shown, it should be concrete and a ramp should be constructed into the driveway to the North. Number: 25 Created: 7/9/2010 [7/9/10] have just reviewed the Utility Set for the items required prior to hearing, since it is apparent that is the most immediate goal. Additional comments pertaining to the remaining Number: 26 Created: 7/9/2010 [7/9/10] Please show how the proposed drive entrance into the site on the NW corner will tie into what is existing off -site on the Schrader PUD site. Will it tie into an existing C&G? It is difficult to tell what exactly is proposed in that corner of the site without some more off -site information shown. Also, the proposed curb radii looks quite large, is traffic expected to Page 1
