Home My WebLink AboutFORT COLLINS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING - FDP - 08-07/A - CORRESPONDENCE -Number: 75 Created: 6/22/2007 [6/22/07] Please bury the riprap channels in the detention pond and provide a detail. The riprap is needed only to the toe -of -slope. See redlines. Number: 76 Created: 6/22/2007 [6/22/07] Please show drainage easement on the drainage plan. Comment from Current Planning: 1. 1 have enclosed a photo of the billboard located on the property to the east. This billboard will have to be removed in order for the sidewalk to be constructed. Please contact the owner of the property to begin the arrangements for this removal. The owners are Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Ingrid Simpson, P.O. Box 412, Fort Collins, CO. 80522. Their phone numbers are 970-484-5880 and 970-988-3635. For your information, this billboard cannot be moved and preserved, it must be completely removed. If Mr. or Mrs. Simpson has any questions regarding the legal status of the billboard, they are encouraged to contact Mr. Peter Barnes, Zoning Administrator, 970-221-6750. 2. With regard to lighting and the proposed backside shield, the response letter indicates that the proposed light fixtures have an internal house -side shield. We have not yet found one these internal shields that is nearly as effective as an external drop -down shield. Based on past experience with houses next to office parks, and several night inspections, our experience is that the effectiveness of the internal shield is vastly over -estimated by the lighting manufacturer. Rather than rely on questionable specifications and risk a neighborhood compatibility issue, the easterly parking lot light fixture must be specified with an external, drop -down house side shield. It will not be necessary to adjust the point -by -point Illuminance values as experience has shown that the external shield will significantly reduce foot-candles behind the fixture. 3. Please indicate the distance between the remaining open concrete drainage ditch along Harmony Road and the detached sidewalk. We are assuming that a railing is not needed but given the special mobility needs of the residents, adding a railing should be explored and installed, if necessary. 4. Now that we are almost at the recording of final mylars stage, it is no longer necessary to show so much existing conditions information on the site plan. While this information is very helpful during plan review, the plan set will be easier to read after reproductions if the under -lying ghosted layers are removed. On the site plan only, please remove existing tree symbols, contour lines and spot elevations, 5. Please see other minor redline comments. Page 4 Number: 60 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] There are potentially serious problems with installing off -site electric facilities to make power available to this site. These include obtaining an off -site easement from an uncooperative owner, or installing a bore across Harmony Rd am currently (6-07-07) working with the owner & developer's representatives to resolve this issue. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 61 Created: 6/19/2007 [6/19/07] PFA has no further comments or concerns. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 45 Created: 3/15/2007 [6/22/07) Reminder Comment -Needed before signature of mylars. [5/1/07] Repeat Comment. [3/15/07] The outfall for the detention pond is not entirely on site. An offsite drainage easement is required for the outfall from the property line to the normal water service elevation of Mail Creek. Coordination needs to take place between the offsite property owner, Stormwater department, and the Environmental Planner regarding erosion protection and wildlife buffer concerns. Number: 56 Created: 5/3/2007 [6/22/07] If a grass lined swale is the preferred option, a 3 foot drainage pan would be required at the bottom of the swale due to the lack of longitudinal slope. [5/3/07] The concrete drainage ditch that is to remain on site needs to be in good condition. The property owner will need to replace any sections that are cracked and/or heaving. Another option is to extend the pipe all the way to the east property line. Number: 73 Created: 6/22/2007 [6/22/07] Please bring the outlet pipe down to the normal water surface elevation of the reservoir. The outlet will also need to be armored at the bank with riprap. Please provide a detail. Number: 74 Created: 6/22/2007 [6/22/07] The existing swale from the pond spillway to the reservoir needs to be preserved. Please provide proposed grading that closely matches the existing contours. This is to convey the pond spillway flows and more importantly to preserve the natural slope in this buffer area. Page 1 or other information wherever possible. Please consider using varying lineweights in order to make the information clearer to read and interpret. The previous construction plan submittal was much easier to read and better met scanability requirements and should be followed. Topic: General . Number: 66 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] The variance request submitted is acceptable but needs to be stamped in addition to the signature. Number: 67 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] The plans need to specify and resolve how the existing billboard will be dealt with due to the sidewalk appearing to run directly through it. Number: 70 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] All offsite easements will need to be in place before sign off on the final plan documents. Topic: Plat Number: 65 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] It appears Fort Collins Loveland Water District would need to be a signatory on the plat for acceptance of the deed of an exclusive easement. Topic: Site Plan Number: 68 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] The site plan does not require the City Engineer's signature. Please remove. The signature section on the site plan should be verified with the project planner. Number: 69 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] Technical Services notices some scanability issues as well on the site plan. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric Utility Number: 50 Created: 4/24/2007 [6/7/07] [4/24/07] The developer will need to provide a completed Commercial Service (C-1) form specifying electric load requirements to Light & Power Engineering. This form is available at Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). It is my understanding that an elevator will be installed. For that reason, the use of 3 phase power is strongly encouraged.

Topic: Plat Number: 55 Created: 5/2/2007 [6/22/07] The note shall state: Refer to Section 3.4.1(E) of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code for allowed activities with in the buffer zone. [5/2/07] A note will be added to the plat, describing the activities allowed within the buffer adjacent to Mail Creek. Topic: Site Plan Number: 72 Created: 6/22/2007 [6/22/07] Scanning issues on the Site Plan, see redline comments. Refer to the City's scanning standards, found in Appendix E-6. Please see JR in Technical Services with any questions. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Construction Plans Number: 62 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] The use of revision bubbles on the construction plans should be removed with the final mylar plan set as we use revision bubbles for keeping track of revisions (field changes) during the time of construction. Number: 63 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] Ideally again, the revision list shown on the revision block should be removed on the construction drawings as the revision block is intended for keeping track of revision approvals after construction commences. Number: 64 Created: 6/21/2007 [6/21/07] There are general concerns with scanability and readability of the plans, most notably the construction plan set. Please avoid overlapping text with shading Page I 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, Ted Shepard 7..eA Chief Planner Page 5
