HomeMy WebLinkAboutFORT COLLINS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING - PDP - 08-07 - CORRESPONDENCE - (14)7. Staff is very concerned about the excessive amount of illumination on the Lighting Plan and supports the comments provided by the Environmental Planner. See the redline comments. Reduced illumination will promote energy conservation and promote neighborhood compatibility without any diminution in visibility and safety. 8. Regarding Light and Power's comment about placement of an electrical transformer, please inquire as to a placement that could then be shared with the abutting parcel to the east. This parcel is preliminarily approved for a small dental clinic. Joint placement could save costs for both parties. 9. See comment sheets and redlines for minor comments. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. As always, 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.

Comments from Current Planning: 1. For projects officially designated by the City as Affordable Housing, the size of the landscaping may reduced. Please see attached for the reduced sizes. 2. Having said that, however, Staff is concerned that headlight glare from cars using the parking lot is not sufficiently screened. Please be sure that headlight glare is blocked in both southeast and east directions. This can be done by dense screens landscape material, including a sufficient number of evergreens, or by low screen walls, or any combination thereof. Single rows of deciduous shrubs will not block headlights. 3. Foundation shrubs need to be added to the north elevation. 4. On the site plan, please call out that the driveway will serve the property to the west and that there will joint access to Harmony Road. 5. On the site plan, please add an ownership signature block, notarial block and General Notes (see attached example). 6. Please indicate on the plat and site plan how the bridle path easement for Fairway Estates is being preserved.

It is not anticipated though that there will be a concern in granting it in discussion with the Traffic Engineer. Number: 27 Created: 3/14/2007 [3/14/07] Provide a striping plan to show the right turn lane configuration in conjunction with the existing travel and bike lanes. Number: 47 Created: 3/16/2007 [3/16/07] As a heads -up, the City is undergoing a design effort to widen Harmony Road. This won't affect the development project per se, just that the City may need to incorporate the designed right turn lane into their design of their overall project. Topic: Plat Number: 16 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] The right-of-way across the driveway should not jog 12' but should transition across at a diagonal. Number: 23 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] The 15 access easement along Harmony Road behind the right-of-way should also be a utility easement.

Page 4 Number: 19 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] On the paving plan and demo sheets, please use a smooth (non jagged edge) for the sawcut edge to accurately define the limits. For the paving plan, please include the existing striping along Harmony Road to ascertain how the proposed street patching coincides with the lane alignments along Harmony Road. In addition, add this note to the plan set: "Limits of street repair are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector at the time the street cuts are made. All repairs are to be done to City standards." Number: 20 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] [assume both of the asphalt paving sections on sheet C1.41 are on private property. ("Drive Lane" is not for Harmony Road?) Please add "(private on -site areas only)" to the end of the drive lane and parking designations. Number: 21 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] The grading plan information on Harmony Road indicates cross slope and flowline grades along Harmony Road that are not to standards (4.89% cross slope, .49% flowline grade -- both are not to standards). This will need to be addressed prior to a hearing. In addition, additional information should be provided prior to hearing to show existing grades at either side of the flowline of the proposed Harmony Road improvements. In addition, existing cross slope information should be provided along Harmony Road with lane configurations illustrated. The additional information will help in evidence that drainage and rideability are maintained. At the time of final submittal, additional information such as cross slopes and a flowline profile of Harmony Road should then be provided. Number: 25 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] On Sheet C2.00 is the median along Harmony Road not "turned on" as was done with C2.01, or is it 'off the page"? If off the page, can the drawing be shifted to the south to provide enough space to show this information? Number: 48 Created: 3/16/2007 [3/16/07] Please specify a type III barricade at the termination of the sidewalk heading west of the site. Topic: General Number: 22 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] Letters of intent are required from all offsite property owners affected by the offsite sidewalk and/or right turn lane.

Page 3 Topic: Photometric Plan Number: 40 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] Current location/alignment of light fixtures in parking lots needs to be reconfigured to minimize spill over lighting. Back shields will be needed to minimize spill over lighting into the buffer area and from the area around Mail Creek, per Section 3.4.1(E)(1)(e). Number: 41 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] Additional plantings are needed within the buffer to maintain and improve the quality of the buffer area. Native species are to be used within the buffer zone. Per an earlier comment about the use of Dwarf Cranberry as a barrier plant, using additional plantings adjacent to the parking lot in the form of native species will help to deter people from actively using the buffer. Topic: Site Plan Number: 31 Created: 3/14/2007 [3/14/07] The 100' buffer has to be shown on the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan. The top of the embankment as delineated by a qualified ecologist needs to established and shown on the plan. The extent of the buffer will also be shown. Topic: Utility Plans .

Number: 18 Created: 3/13/2007 [3/13/07] On the horizontal control plan, please indicate (name) property owners offsite on all sheets. (Is all the right-of-way required offsite to the west on Sheet C1.21 under one property owner?) Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins DISTYLE DESIGN, PC Date: 03/21/2007 MICHAEL KINSELY 620 MENDELSSOHN AVE N, STE 116 GOLDEN VALLEY, MN 55427 Staff has reviewed your submittal for FORT QOLLINS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PDP - TYPE II, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: General Number: 32 Created: 3/14/2,007 [3/14107] A Limits of Development (LOD) will be established and shown on all plans - Site, Landscape and Utility plans. Number: 33 Created: 3/14/2007 [3/14/07] There are several trees on or adjacent to the site that need to be evaluated by Tim Buchanan, City Forester. If required, mitigation for trees deemed to be significant existing trees will be necessary. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 36 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] Refers to Grading Plan also. Grading for the water quality pond extends up to the eastern property line, encroaching into the drip edge of several existing trees on the neighboring property. Refer to Section 3.2.1(F)(G) of the LUC for the protection of significant existing trees. Contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester for an evaluation of the existing trees. Number: 37 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] Show the erosion control matting on the Landscape Plan. Note methods for installation and restoration on this plan. Number: 38 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] The single row of Dwarf Cranberry along the edge of the parking lot is insufficient to effectively deter people from using the open space and walking down the property through the buffer to the creek. Number: 39 Created: 3/15/2007 [3/15/07] This project has to comply with Section 3.4.1(E)(1)(e). Of major concern is the view into the sight from both sides of Mail Creek. Provide a section through the site from the creek through the building. Mitigating the bulk of the building, parking and site lighting have to be addressed. Page 1
