HomeMy WebLinkAboutMOUNTAIN VIEW COMMUNITY CHURCH - PDP - 31-07 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 2 -.t Number.8 Created:111112007 I'm not sure what the walk is like in front of the HC parking spaces. Is it level with the asphalt parking, or is it a raised walk? Each Handicap parking space needs to have ramped access to the walk if it's a raised walk. The sidewalk in front of the handicap parking spaces has been uniformly lowered to match edge of asphalt rather than providing ramps at each space. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Ted Shepard 1. Have you explored the possibility of shared parking with your industrial neighbor to the west? There is a strong likelihood that industrial employees' and customers will not be using their parking lot on Sunday mornings. If you were able to secure shared parking, then "future parking" may not be needed. This would save the church asphalt paving and additional fees to the Stormwater Utility. The Church is currently exploring this option with the adjacent neighbor to the west. A connective walk has been added in anticipation of this option. 2. Street trees along Lemay, if under the existing overhead transmission line, may be switched to ornamental versus shade trees. Ornamental trees have been added in the ROW however there is an existing 60' Platte River Power Authority easement at runs the length of entire site fronting Ninth Street. In addition there is also a 25' drainage easement adjacent to the Platte River Power Authority easement. A copy of the site plan, landscape plan and utility plans are being sent with this submittal to Tom McCormick at the Platte River Power Authority at their request. Please let us know if you have any other issues. Sincerely, Sandy McFeron Project Manager V.F. Ripley Associates, Inc. Kevin Brazelton Project Engineer Northern Engineering Services A note has been added stating all signage shown for planning purposes only. Approval of signage is not included in this process. All signage shall meet Fort Collins Sign Code. Number.3 Created.111112007 [11/1/07] Indicate parking stall width on site plan. The typical stall width dimension has been added to the site plan. Number.4 Created:111112007 [11/1/07] A landscape island in the parking lot directly west of the main building entrance indicates "6 PCC" However, there is no PCC listed in the Plant List. What kind of tree is a PCC? The "6 PCC" were mislabeled. The label now reads "6 PCX, Autumn Blaze Pear. Number.5 Created.11/1/2007 [11/1/07] Street trees are required along Lemay. Lemay is actually Ninth Street at this point and has relabeled as such. Ornamental trees have been added in the ROW however there is an existing 60' Platte River Power Authority easement at runs the length of entire site fronting Ninth Street. In addition there is also a 25' drainage easement adjacent to the Platte River Power Authority easement. A copy of the site plan, landscape plan and utility plans are being sent with this submittal to Tom McCormick at the Platte River Power Authority at their request. Number.6 Created.111112007 [11/1/07] Parking lot perimeter landscaping and screening along the west lot line needs to comply with Section 3.2.1(E)(4). I imagine the existing Austrian Pines make it difficult to add more deciduous trees, but I can't tell from the plan if the screening is met since the shrub planting area doesn't specify the size and species of shrubs. The Plant Legend indicates the area to be "proposed shrubs" and the Plant List only states "Recommended Shrubs". The Plant List will need to include a listing of the actual shrubs to be planted. Same with the foundation shrub planting areas - we should know what's going to be planted. Specific plants will be selected at final compliance. A note has been added to the landscape plan along the west property line stating the code compliance requirement. Number.7 Created.11/1/2007 [11/1/07] Site plan needs to show the setback distance from the closest point of the building on the east side to the property line along Lemay. The dimension has been added to the site plan. Number. 10 Created. 111512007 [1115107] Clearly mark the 8-inch sewer service as PRIVATE. The sewer has been marked as private. Number. 11 Created. 111512007 [11/5/07] Add control valve on the fire line as noted on the redlined plans. The tee in question has been removed due to the removal of the proposed fire hydrant; therefore, the valve was not added. Number. 12 Created. 11/5/2007 [11/5/07] There are two existing fire hydrants within 300 feet of the building. Coordinate with PFA and City water utility to eliminate one or both of the proposed hydrants. PFA has agreed that both proposed fire hydrants may be eliminated and both have been removed from the drawings. Number. 13 Created. 111512007 [1115107] Add tracer wire details and notes to utility plans for the PVC water lines. Since the fire hydrants have been removed there is now only service lines to the building. Number. 14 Created. 111512007 [11/5/07] See redlined plans for other comments. Noted. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number:l Created.11/1/2007 [11/1/07] Their comment letter (comment #2) indicates that they're submitting a modification request to the Build -to -line standards of 3.5.3(B)(2). However, Section 4.28(E)(2)(a) exempts this use from having to comply with the requirements of Section 3.5.3. Noted. Number.2 Created.111112007 [11/1/07] Remove the sign locations from the plans. The sign code will regulate signs. Proposed sign locations are shown for planning and landscape purposes only. This is usually an oversight in designing the site plan and can caused major problems later on. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Landscape Plan Number. 15 Created: 11/5/2007 [11/5/07] Adjust plantings to meet required separation distances from water/sewer lines. Landscape has been adjusted to meet the required separation distances. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number. 36 Created. 111912007 [1119107] The detention volume calculations are about 20% low compared to calculations done in our office, about 1.19 ac-ft. Please revise the detention volume using Fort Collins criteria and spreadsheets, not the Urban Drainage spreadsheet. The calculations have been adjusted. Number. 37 Created. 111912007 [1119107] Half of Buckingham Street along the site's frontage should be detained in the on -site detention pond. Please try to route these flows to the pond. If this is physically impossible, providing for the extra volume in the pond and not actually directing the flows there is an option. The drainage on the south side of Buckingham Street has been directed under the sidewalk with a culvert. Number. 38 Created. 111912007 [1119107] A drainage easement is required for the limits of the detention pond. The drainage easement has been added. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number.9 Created.111512007 [1115107] The existing sanitary sewer at the south edge of the property is relatively shallow. What is the minimum cover over the pipe for the proposed sewer extension? Provide additional information. A minimum of 4-feet of cover is desirable. Should the cover being provided be less than 4-feet, insulation board will also be provided. Details and a plan and profile will be provided with the FCP submittals.

Sheet U1 shows a 24-foot Access Easement; should this actually be labeled 24-foot Emergency Access Easement? The note has been corrected to state 24-foot Emergency Access Easement Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact. Wes Lamarque Topic: Fire Number:40 Created:11/9/2007 [11/9/07] a Topic: Floodplain Number. 39 Created. 111912007 [1119107] Please discuss in the text of the report that the building will not be located in any floodplain. This has been added to the report. Number. 24 Created. 111612007 [1116107] As a heads -up, the local street portion for Lemay Avenue in the ultimate condition abutting this property we're estimating involves approximately 120' of linear frontage. Noted. Number. 33 Created: 11/7/2007 [11/7/07] With Technical Services comment #5 on ID #32 that Lemay should be Ninth Street, the documents should all be revised to reflect Lemay Avenue abutting the property as in fact being Ninth Street. Please note that my comments had been referring to the roadway as Lemay. References to Lemay Avenue have been corrected to Ninth Street. Number.41 Created: 111912007 [11/7/07] Our records indicate a credit of $450 in TDR fees for the acceptance of a fee for a modification of standards and a deed of dedication which aren't required. The credit is based upon a building square footage area of 23,192 as specified on a revised site plan. Noted. Topic: Plat Number. 32 Created: 11/7/2007 [11/7/07] Technical Services offers the following comments: 1. Boundary closes. 2. Show how street were dedicated -- see redlines. 3. Lot area should be less the 4' of additional right-of-way. 4. Site plan has scanning issues, see redlines. 5. Lemay Avenue should actually be Ninth Street. These comments have been addressed. Topic: Site Plan Number: 34 Created: 11/7/2007 [11/7/07] 1 was given a revised site plan which reflects both the building coverage and building square footage to be 23,192 square feet. The original submittal did not list a building square footage but noted the building coverage as being 26,522 square feet. Was the revised site plan intended to revise the building coverage data? The original site plan included the future phase of the building. It is assumed the church would be required to go through the amendment process if it decides in the future to expand. Most likely the area and design would be different than what is shown now so the future building area was removed from the calculations. Number: 28 Created: 111612007 [1116107] There does not appear to be any additional shoulder/shy distance from the defacto bike lane to the roadside ditch in the new design. Lemay appears to have some unpaved shoulder both north and south of Buckingham (south appears to have a greater shy distance). Ideally there should be a couple feet of gravel shoulder shy distance from the ditch for bicyclist safety, especially with the combination of a transition and limited lighting in the area. Also the 2 feet of gravel helps for integrity of the pavement section. A 2-foot gravel shoulder has been added. Number: 30 Created: 111612007 [1116107] Please add the following street cut note to Sheet G1: Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards. The note has been added. Number: 31 Created: 11/7/2007 [11/7/07] The construction plans require a second benchmark. A second benchmark has been added. Number: 35 Created: 111712007 [11/7/07] 1 wasn't able to ascertain if drainage is being directed off the driveway onto Buckingham over the sidewalk. How much spillage (if any) occurs over the sidewalk? The drainage on the south side of Buckingham Street has been directed under the sidewalk with a culvert. Topic: General Number: 20 Created: 111612007 [1116107] It appears that the Platte River Power Authority would need to be a signatory to the plat as well as construction drawings, having an exclusive easement and facilities within the property boundary. Platte River Power Authority was contacted. PRPA would like to review the drawings prior to determining whether they will sign off on the Plat or drawings. A copy of this submittal will be provided to PRPA. Number. 23 Created: 111612007 [1116107] The construction plan set needs to show vertical design information specific to Buckingham/Duff carried from the Lincoln Park project and then have it preliminarily designed along this project tying back to the west. If the project were to then also do a full design of Buckingham (flowline and centerline design, cross sections, etc.) then the local street portion escrow for Buckingham would only need to include construction costs (curb and gutter, pavements, etc.) (The design should demonstrate that the curb and gutter installed along the western property boundary can remain otherwise curb and gutter in this location would also need to be included in the escrow). If the project's design along Buckingham is limited to the preliminary portion only then the local street portion escrow will need to include design costs to ensure curb and gutter and pavement can be built to an ultimate condition. Per discussions with City staff the preliminary design information Lemay and Buckingham is not being provided with this PDP submittal, but will be coordinated with City staff prior to the hearing. The design information will be provided with the FCP submittals. Number. 25 Created. 111612007 [1116107] I'd like to do some further follow-up on the existing asphalt sidewalk and how it is affected by the widening shown for the left turn lane. It appears that the asphalt sections of walk may need to be reconfigured with the road widening. Also, it may be necessary to provide detectable warnings (truncated domes) for the walks as they approach the intersection. The truncated domes have been added to the asphalt trail. Further details will be provided with the FCP submittals Number: 26 Created: 111612007 [1116107] The Lemay design for the turn lanes creates angle points where the transitions occur for the left turn lanes, I'd like to see these shown smoothed out with curves rather than the angle points for driveability concerns. The angle points have been eliminated and radii of using local street criteria have been added. Number. 27 Created. 111612007 [1116107] The cross sections for Lemay show instances where the additional pavement widening is at less of a cross slope than the existing portion which is of concern and does not meet standards. The cross slopes have been adjusted by providing a minimum of 0.40% flowline slope for the curb and gutter being proposed on the west side of Ninth Street. A variance request is also being submitted.
