Home My WebLink About215 N. COLLEGE AVENUE - PDP - 4-07 - CORRESPONDENCE -Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: ZONING Number: 1 Created: 2/9/2007 [2/9/07] Need several north facing windows to view the beautiful billboard. Hope the billboard goes away. Number: 2 Created: 2/9/2007 [2/9107] Please show building heights on elevations. You've done such an excellent job on your design that a second round of staff review is not needed. You should be very proud of yourself and your consultants. This doesn't happen very often. We're practically ready for mylars, which means we'll only need one short round of final plan review. Great job!! Wow!! Please contact me to schedule your public hearing before the administrative hearing officer. I will need two weeks plus one day minimum to coordinate this hearing. I will also need two full-size paper site, architecture, landscape and lighting plan sets for the hearing. I will also need to get the plans submitted electronically for the powerpoint. Before printing the hearing sets out, please give me a call to discuss a couple of easy tweaks that you can make to the plans for the hearing. If you, have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6206. Sincerely, a%C� Anne H.

Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: WaterMastewater Number: 25 Created: 2/27/2007 [2/27/07] Please install a bike rack. The intensification of these proposed uses at this site definitely warrant another. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 10 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] No comments. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 22 Created: 2/27/2007 [2/27/07] Are there existing water/sewer services to this site? If so, add notes on abandonment. Number: 23 Created: 2/27/2007 [2/27/07] Typically four residential units need a 1" water service. On residential, the size of water service does NOT affect development fees. Number: 24 [2/27/07) Add meter pit detail. Created: 2/27/2007 Page 4 Number: 14 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] An 8' utility easement is required off the alley. If no utilities are located there or they don't need it, we could eliminate that requirement. We'll work through that in Final Compliance as well. No need to delay the hearing! : ) Topic: Site/Landscape Plans Number: 11 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26107] This is a really excellent submittal. Just have one comment and it's ready for mylars actually and one question too. First, there is one place on the sheet that has a scanning issue, that's it. I've highlighted it in pink so you can find it right away. Last, there is a dumpster area off the alley - the city doesn't allow the doors to swing out into the ROW but perhaps you could do a garage door style that rolls up and back? Or perhaps you have another, better idea? Topic: Utility Plans Number: 9 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] This submittal is good enough to go to mylars with just a couple of extremely minor comments. Please remove the word "Final" from "Utility Plans for...". Then correct a couple of overlapped labeling on the grading sheet and you're good to go. Thanks for the beautiful submittal! Number: 12 Created: 2/26/2007 (2/26/07] Whoops - just found an underdrain in the row per the site and landscape plan. Please show this on the utility plans, how it ties into the storm system as well as all necessary details. While the city does not allow subdrains in public rights of way, you can apply for an encroachment permit. We will need a hydrologic study if groundwater is less than 5' from the original ground surface per 5.6.1. We can handle all of this in Final Compliance so it won't prevent you from going to hearing. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Utilities Number: 33 Created: 3/1/2007 [3/1/07] The developer will need to coordinate electric power requirements, electric source, and development charges with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 26 Created: 2/28/2007 [2/28/07] 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 further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. (The closest fire hydrant is located at the northwest corner of LaPorte and College.) 97UFC 901.2.2.2 Number: 27 Created: 2/28/2007 [2/28/07] SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS: This proposed building shall be fire sprinklered (NFPA 13). 97UBC Table9-B (City of Fort Collins Amendment) and 97UFC 901.2.2.2. Page 3 Number: 7 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] The Postal Service responds as follows: "Developer must provide adequate mail receptacles for all possible occupants at one agreed -upon location. Please contact Bonnie Ham at Growth Coordinator Bonnie Ham, USPS, 301 E. Boardwalk, Fort Collins, CO 80525-9998 with any questions you have." Number: 16 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Since the building occupies the entire site and the sidewalk has existing street lights, you do not need to do a lighting plan (photometrics) but you will need to submit cutsheets as details on the plan set for review. Remember that fixtures need to be full cutoff. Number: 20 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Minor comments on redlines. Please return redlines upon resubmittal. Topic: ST-1 Number: 15 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] There are already 4 existing handicap -accessible parking spaces with ramps on the west face of this block, including two in front of the Autawash, two doors to the north. Randy Hensley in the Parking Services department says that the existing accessible parking is sufficient to provide for the uses on this block. In addition, according to Mike Gebo in Building Inspection, this also satisfies the ADA standards: the off-street parking is solely for the residential units and there are too few of them to trigger ADA standards; and the commercial/retail parking will happen in the public right-of-way. So, the new parking spaces along College should be standard spaces and there is no requirement for accessible spaces in the interior lot. Number: 17 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Since the time of the conceptual review for this site, a significant change to the Land Use Code has occurred. There is now a "TOD Overlay Zone" which includes this site. The only change associated with this zone at this time is that there is no longer a minimum parking requirement for multi -family residential. There was already no minimum parking requirement for commercial uses. So, the parking you provide should be calculated by the market -based demands. Topic: ST-2 Number: 21 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Please add another bike rack along your frontage if it is at all feasible. Show all outdoor elements on the blown up plan detail of the frontage. Dave and I would be happy to meet with you on site if you would like. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 8 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] The TDRF fees were incorrectly calculated per my direction - I'm really sorry about that! The good news is that you've got a credit for $1362.15. We can either refund that to you by check or you can use it as a credit towards Final Compliance fees and we can refund any unused portion after that. I've attached a copy of how the fees were calculated so that you can see how a credit was given for the existing square footage. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins Daniel R. Bernth Date: 03/06/2007 Doberstein Lemburg Commercial, Inc, 338 C East Pitkin Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Staff has reviewed your submittal for 215 NORTH COLLEGE AVENUE PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Anne Aspen Topic: Architecture Plans Number: 18 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] You have done an excellent job of designing a building which fits into its downtown context but which reads as a modern building. The trellises, street trees and window boxes, pots and baskets will enhance this tight site very well. This project will really set the bar high for any future redevelopments. Thank you for your hard work and congratulations on a great design! Number: 19 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] For now, the 11x17" color architecture plans and shadow study are really helpful and useful. However, once you get to final plan review, the elevations will need to be included at 24"x36" in black and white. The shadow and visual analysis information does not need to be included in the mylar set. Topic: General Number: 3 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] The following departments and agencies have no problems or concerns with your proposal: Park Planning, GIS, ROW Planning, Water Conservation, Natural Resources. Number: 4 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Building Inspection offers a page of applicable codes and standards that you must comply with in your building permit plan set. They also offer notes from your pre -submittal meeting. Both are attached. Number: 5 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Xcel Energy comments as follows: "Xcel Energy has a 2" PEI located in College Ave. We will need a permit to open -cut College Ave to cut off the existing 3/4" gas service to 215 N. College and install a new gas service for the added capacity." New meters would need to be located outside. We have no gas main located in the rear alley area. Number: 6 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Comcast responds as follows: "Comcast needs to see a plat map showing existing or new utility easement in the alley to feed this project. The closest Comcast facility is located at 281 N. College." Page 1
