This site is in the Spring Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2175.00/acre which is it is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. This applies only if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. Response: Acknowledged. The site is mostly already paved, therefore we aren't going to increase the impervious area, in fact, we are reducing it. 2. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. A grading plan is required when there is between 1000 and 350 square feet of new imperviousness, but no drainage study. A grading plan is required for this site. Response: Acknowledged 3. A letter report may be sufficient for a drainage study if the existing and proposed drainage patterns do not change. If curb and gutter is added that concentrates the flow, an offsite easement to Spring Creek would be required as well as stabilization of the outfall into the creek. Response: We intend to keep the existing drainage patterns the same with the exception of adding a water quality structure. The existing paving on site is drained through piping to an existing outfall in Spring Creek. The outfall is in a stable condition and is not proposed to be disturbed. 4. There is an existing inlet on College Ave. that could be used as an outlet for the drainage. Response: Acknowledged. Water Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6864, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. Water and sewer will need to be provided to the building. This will need to be separate from the existing services to the site. Response: New water and sewer services have been proposed in the submittal. 2. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Response: Acknowledged. Transportation Planning Contact Info: Kurt Ravenschlag, kravenschlag@fcgov.com 1. A direct pedestrian connection must be provided from the building entrance to the adjacent street sidewalk. This walk may not cross any vehicle drive aisles or parking areas. Response: We have met with CDOT, Engineering, and Eric Bracke, and it has been determined that because the Vision Eyeland property and the Human Bean property have two different property owners, and each of the properties has it's own access drive, neither will be required to be closed. 6. Driveway radii are subject to CDOT standards, and may require an Access Permit. Response: Acknowledged. 7. A detached sidewalk and offsite pedestrian access to the South may be required. Response: We have accommodated this comment to the extent reasonably feasible. 8. Applicant is responsible for undergrounding any existing overhead lines. Response: There are no existing overhead lines on the project site. 9. All public improvements need to be made in accordance with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Response: All public improvements have been made in accordance with LCUASS as required. 10. Applicant is responsible for repairing or replacing any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalks on the property. Response: The existing curb, gutter and sidewalks adjacent to the site appear to be in serviceable condition. 11. Utility plans, a Development Agreement, a Development Construction Permit and a Subdivision Plat are required for this development proposal. Response: Please see the submittal for the utility plans and plat. After approval, we look forward to working through the DA and DCP. Light and Power Contact Info: Janet McTague, 224-6154, jmctague@fcgov.com 1. The applicant is responsible for the installation of secondary service from the existing transformer to the new building/meter location. The new service needs to be located in a utility easement. Response: The plat will provide easement for this connection. 2. Added KVA and system modification charges, if necessary, will apply to this project. Response: Acknowledged, 3. Once you have calculated your additional load needs, give Janet a call to see if modifications need to be made for an additional transformer.
