Home My WebLink AboutONE LIBRARY PARK (220 E. OLIVE ST.) - PDP - 34-07 - CORRESPONDENCE -2. On the Lighting Plan, Staff is concerned that the Lithonia WST wall -mounted sconce (fixtures D,E and F) are described with a vague reference as being "night time friendly." This is vague term that does not appear to go far enough. These fixtures must be fully shielded. The term that is more commonly used is "dark sky compliant." Staff is also concerned about the "medium throw distribution." It does not appear that these fixtures will meet our Code. Either more information needs to be provided regarding these fixtures, or a new wall -mounted fixture needs to be selected. 3. Please provide clarification regarding the location of the AA and BB fixtures. It is not clear as to the purpose of these fixtures. What is the vertical distance from grade to fixture? Perhaps some illustrative examples can be provided. Staff is concerned that there appears to be an excessive amount of lighting along the two fronts of this building. 4. Please be sure to rectify the location of the two bike racks on both the site plan and architectural sheets. 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- A A Ted Shepard City Planner Page 4 [11/15/07) The developer will need to coordinate power requirements, locations, and electric development charges with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). Will a fire sprinkler pump be installed? Number: 30 Created: 2/19/2008 [2/19/08] There appears to be no location on this site for an electric transformer. It may be necessary for the developer to provide an off -site easement on the west side of the alley. If this is the case, the developer will need to work with Light & Power Engineering on specifics before approaching any other property owner for an off -site easement. Without knowing the electric service requirements, I can only guess that the transformer pad will be approximately 6.5 ft. wide x 4'8" deep. In addition, the transformer will need 3 ft. of clearance on each side and 8 ft. unobstructed in front. Also, the transformer will need to be within 10 ft. of an all-weather surface accessible to a utility line truck. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 19 Created: 11 /27/2007 [2/28/08] The cross-section provided needs to be in the location at the alley on the western flow -line to determine if these flows overtop the high point in the alley and run north. [11/27/07] Master Plan flows for the 100-year storm running down Olive Street need to be included in the analysis to determine if the water surface elevation is less than the proposed opening of 80.00 into the underground parking garage. Number: 40 Created: 2/29/2008 [2/29/08] Once the water surface elevation in the alley is determined due to the flows running down Olive Street, a discussion needs to take place to determine if the freeboard is adequate. In our criteria manual for conveyance elements, there needs to be a foot of freeboard to any opening into a building or the conveyance element needs to handle 1.33 times the flow and not enter any opening into the building. With grades as proposed, the foot of free -board could not be met unless a floodgate was installed at the underground parking entrance. Cortina is an example of a project that installed a floodgate. An analysis of the flows in Olive Street with the additional 33% may prove to not enter the underground parking entrance, although a 1-foot tall floodgate would still be recommended. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: WaterMastewater Number: 31 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/08] On Sheet E1 - Demolition Plan, show existing sanitary sewer service. Include note to abandon at main and to coordinate abandonment with Water Utilities. Number: 32 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/08] See redlined plans for other comments. Comments from Current Planning: 1. Since the electrical transformer is in such a prominent location, please add a gate along the front to screen from Olive Street. The gate should be sliding so it does not open up onto public right-of-way. Please consider matching the fence design for continuity. Be sure the gate is two feet behind the sidewalk. Page 3 potentially open to the encroachment shown on the Matthews Street side, however we're concerned over the extent of the encroachment onto the public space on the Olive Street. side. We're not inclined to introduce a meander in the sidewalk system along Olive Street and would rather just see the sidewalk maintain the consistent 10 foot separation from the curb and gutter. Why is the public space being encroached into? Interestingly, we note page 7 of the traffic impact study which shows perhaps an earlier iteration of the project and has the sidewalk along Olive Street maintain a consistent separation from the street. We would prefer this design over the present iteration and don't see a compelling reason to support the present design. Number: 6 Created: 11 /21 /2007 [2/26/08] Are the trash enclosure doors located within the right-of-way? If so,.why can't these be outside of the right-of-way? [11/21/07] The proposed trash enclosure off of the alley cannot have doors which swing out into the alley right-of-way. Either sliding doors or further insetting the trash enclosure would need to be accomplished. Number: 33 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/08] As part of the revised section of encroachment along Olive, please look at having sidewalk removed west of the alley (as redlined) to provide the visual cue of directing pedestrians south and east in advance of the encroachments. Number: 35 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] Similar to #33, is there any opportunity to provide the visual cue of having the sidewalk slightly redirect to the south in advance of the encroachments to the west? Number: 36 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] The private storm utility tying into the back of the inlet is subject to an encroachment permit within the right-of-way, though this will be a different and less formal of a procedure than the encroachments pertaining to the structures. This will be addressed at the time of the encroachment permit pulled in conjunction with construction. No legal description or other information is needed from the developer at this time. Number: 37 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] We will look to have a memorandum of agreement and notice filed at the County which records a document as part of the record stating that there other documents on,file in the City (such as the development agreement). It's a short document, but would likely be beneficial to future residents/tenants to indicate that we have documents on file within the City that are not recorded at the County. Number: 41 Created: 2/28/2008 [2/28/08) As an FYI, our boilerplate memorandum of agreement and notice as well as the encroachment permit for Pine Street Lofts are attached to the comments for your reference. I will look to draft and finalize these documents in conjunction with the development agreement and no action is needed at this time, unless there are concerns with the general concept of one or both documents.

Electric Utility Number: 1 [2/19/08] Issue Contact: Doug Martine Created: 11 /15/2007 Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Citv of Fort Collins Sandy McFeron Date: 3/5/2008 V.F. Ripley Associates 401 West Mountain Avenue, Suite 201 Fort Collins, CO 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for ONE LIBRARY PARK (220 E. OLIVE ST. #27-07A) PDP - TYPE 11, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Construction Plans Number: 3 Created: 11 /21 /2007 [2/27/08] The revised design is fine, though we'd like to suggest some notation on sheet G1 to provide flexibility to possibly reduce the extent of the mill/overlay in the field via revising the 18' width of the patch to state 16-18' and then after "Extent of mill/overlay" as "to be determined in the field". [11/21/07] The 2' sawcut shown on the drawings is likely sufficient on Matthews Street though there are some general concerns on the cross slope on Olive Street such that we believe the pavement patching needs to be extended further into Olive Street to achieve a better cross slope. At the time of final plan submittal further design information will be needed to show what cross slopes and flowline grades are achieved with the new curb and gutter and patching. On Olive Street I'd like to see cross sections of the full road at 50 foot intervals in order to ascertain how the cross slopes will work. Number: 34 Created: 2/26/2008 [2/26/08] Please be aware that the standard driveway approach indication shown for the alley does not apply, it is considered an alley intersection and LCUASS detail 803 should be provided on the details sheet and constructed as such. Number: 38 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] With the final plan submittal, please look to add additional spot elevations along the access ramps out to Matthews and Olive as evidence that the fall along the ramps out to the flowline are ADA compliant. Number: 39 Created: 2/27/2008 [2/27/08] With the final plan submittal, please look to add construction details (sidewalks, access ramps, alley approach, etc.) Topic: General Number: 2 Created: 11 /16/2007 [2/26/08] The revised design was viewed as being acceptable for City Transportation Staff to grant an encroachment permit. A legal description and exhibit should be prepared for the encroachments on Olive as well as Matthews. A draft of the encroachment permit will then be prepared. 111/16/07] There's been some general discussion and concern regarding the use of the public space (right-of-way) for aspects the building. Fundamentally, the steps and railings along Matthews along with the planter and low seat wall along Olive are all obstructions of the right-of-way that would need to be approved via an encroachment permit.
