HomeMy WebLinkAboutROCKY MOUNTAIN RAPTOR PROGRAM - ODP & FIRST FILING PDP - 7-06 - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)Show the location of the Josh Ames ditch on the plans. Call out the Dry Creek channel. Please 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, Cameron Gloss Current Planning Director Page 4 [3/21 /06] Floodplain comments 1. Please also show the City's 0.5 foot floodway on the site plan. It is slightly wider than the FEMA 1 ft. floodway. Even with the Dry Creek Diversion project completed, the floodway will still go through this area. It appears that the flight cage building and the fence may be in the 0.5 ft. floodway. If so, the cage will need to be moved out of the floodway or shown to not cause a rise in the 100-year flood elevation. The fence will either have to be moved or be a break -away design. 2. Please provide a detailed grading plan. Depending on which berms are removed and how the grading takes place, it may result in the floodway and floodplain spreading out further across this property. This will need to be planned for if you want to minimize changes to the floodway so that it will not impact your site as you plan future work. 2. A floodplain use permit will be required. The permit fee is $25. 3. Any remodel work done to the former Platte Valley Lumber building will be subject to the substantial improvement policy. If improvements exceed 50% of the structures value (excluding land) then the structure must be elevated or floodproofed 18" above the floodplain. If the improvement value is below the 50% threshold, then there are no requirements other than to submit to Utilities a floodplain use permit and a detailed cost estimate of the proposed improvements. There is a $25 permit fee. Contact Marsha Hilmes-Robinson at 224-6036 with questions. Please note that aerial maps showing the extent of the City's 0.5 feet floodway are being included with these comments for the applicant's use. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 18 Created' 3/21/2006 [4/4/06] Since the plan will no longer involve filling in the ditch area, no off -site flows study is required. Will the cage area be cut ? Please show proposed grading on the plans if this is to be done. Maybe this could be added to the site plan so that no new plan would need t be generated. It is suggested that the diagonal lines be removed from the site plan and the floodplain limits be demarcated along the boundaries with lines of different weights and or thicknesses. [3/21 /06] If any grading is proposed then a grading plan would be required. It seems that a ditch is being filled, please locate that ditch on the map. This ditch is called out to be filled, however, this needs to be evaluated depending on whether the ditch is conveying any off -site flows from the west. A site visit should be set up to help us evaluate the impact of the grading proposed on the site and to try to find an appropriate location for the cages. Page 3 Topic: PDP Number: 30 Created: 4/5/2006 [4/5/06] The PDP boundary line is still unclear. I know the parcel that you are intending to include, but the same linetype is used around your Parcel B as around the rest of the site. Number: 32 Created: 4/5/2006 [4/5/06] A rough calculation of the PDP property area indicates that it is greater than 1 acre. Before any final compliance review, engineering must be provided with a legal description of the site and the appropriate additional Transportation Development Review fees. It has been decided that this will not keep the project from going to hearing however. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 24 Created: 3/27/2006 [4/7/06] A fire lane is an all-weather driving surface installed to protect structures. It also is designated on plats as an Emergency Access Easement. Technically, the unpaved lane from Main Street that Mickey mentions is not a fire lane; however, it possibly could be used by PFA to access the cages. Because this project addresses only the aviaries, and not the RMRP temporary office, this comment is resolved from PFA's perspective. [3/27/06] ACCESS: A fire lane shall be required for this site. Contact the PFA Fire Prevention Bureau for the construction details of the fire lane. Number: 25 Created: 3/27/2006 [4/7/06] [3/27/06] WATER SUPPLY: When permanent aviaries are constructed in the future, they may be required to meet water -supply requirements for commercial areas. A fire hydrant could be no farther than 300 feet from the structures and able to supply a minimum of 1,500 gallons per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. The water -supply requirement excludes the temporary aviaries/cages in this project. Number: 26 Created: 3/27/2006 [4/7/06] According to City Engineering, the address assigned to this building that will house the RMRP temporary office is 720 E. Vine Drive. Using this address for the cages is sufficient. Our comment is meant to ensure the address is visible on the building. [3/27/06] ADDRESS: The address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property. They shall be posted on a contrasting background, and a minimum of 6 inches high. Number: 33 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Topic: Floodplain Number: 20 [4/4/06] Floodplain comments Created: 4/7/2006 Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Created: 3/21 /2006 1. A partially completed floodplain use permit is attached. Please complete the blanks marked with an "X". Return along with $25 permit fee. Please attach the following items to the permit: • 1 copy of plan showing flight cage locations relative to the floodplain. Page 2 El a STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins MICKEY WILLIS Date: 04/10/2006 PARADIGM REAL ESTATE & DEVELOPMENT 2969 SPRING HARVEST LANE FORT COLLINS, CO 80528 Mickey, Staff has reviewed your revised submittal for the ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAPTOR PROGRAM ODP AND FIRST FILING PDP, and we offer the following comments. The application has been placed on the Consent Agenda for the April 20, 2006 Planning and Zoning Board hearing. ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Pete Wray Topic: Fire Number: 28 Created: 4/4/2006 [4/4/06] ODP is consistent with the Northside Neighborhoods Plan land use designations with the addition of the proposed use in the LMN. Staff is currently including this item as an administrative change to the use requirements per 3.1.4 of the LUC. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Dan DeLaughter Topic: General Number: 6 Created: 3/21 /2006 [4/5/06] Please include an additional potential access on the north side of the property for the ODP to comply with the 660' standard. Also, if you're requesting a modification to not provide any access to Parcel B, no accesses should be shown on the PDP or ODP in that location. If any access is shown, the responsibility for it will have to be included in a Development Agreement, which probably would not be favorable for this project. You could always add an access at that location with a future amended ODP. [3/21/06] Please show how the site meets Section 3.6.3 (F) of the Land Use Code, or address this standard. Currently, no proposed street connections are shown. If all parcels are included in the ODP, all parcels should be addressed. If all parcels are considered, special consideration should be given to connections to the existing street network (Main St., Martinez St.). Per our meeting on 3/22/06, the ODP should seek a modification to the LUC standard, and the PDP should show appropriate connections. Number: 8 Created: 3/21 /2006 [4/5/06] Repeat Comment [3/21/06] Scanability is an issue on both the PDP and ODP. The grayscale and diagonal line patterns should be removed. Number: 31 Created: 4/5/2006 [4/5/06] The scales used on both plans should be changed. On the PDP, you are using a 1 "=30' scale, but the increments are in 20'- it is accurate but confusing. On the ODP, I cannot tell what the scale is supposed to be, it doesn't match any standard scales. Page 1
