Yours Truly, Steve Olt City Planner cc: Susan Joy North Star Design, Inc. Current Planning file #4-06 Page 6 r Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic: Stormwater -Grading Number: 25 Created: 3 / 7 / 2006 [4/25/06] The pan located on the property to the north needs to be approved by that property owner. [3/7/06] Any grading on the property to the north should be done in a manner that would minimize disturbance. Add a note stating that all disturbed areas are to be reseeded. Call out existing elevations on the grading plan. Make sure all grades are tied in (proposed and existing). Please add a note stating that no grading shall be done off -site except as indicated on these plans. Can the dry stack wall on the south property line be built without getting on Lot 1 ? Topic: Stormwater- easement Number: 20 Created: 3 / 6 / 2006 [4/25/061 [3/6/06] The proposed water quality pond should be located within a drainage easement. Also need drainage easement for access to the rear of the property. This item can be handled at final. Need to provide access easement for maintenance of drainage facilities to the west. Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 61 Created: 4 / 28 / 2006 [4/28/06] In order to avoid a street cut the existing water service line to be abandoned off of Eastbrook Drive could be used as a fire line. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 3 Created: 2 / 17/ 2006 [5/ 15/06] Just to reiterate. The Final Landscape Plan must be very specific about plant materials. [4/ 18/06] I guess I'll look for it on a later submittal as per their response letter. [2/ 17/06] The "proposed shrub planting" shown on the landscape plan should be illustrated as to species and quantity. The Plant List includes a large selection of recommended evergreen and deciduous shrubs. Without some clarification on the plan, they could put in nothing but evergreen shrubs. Page 5 Number: 58 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance - Please provide spot elevations for the lot corners. Topic: Site Plan Number: 55 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance - Please dimension and label all easements to match the utility plans. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 54 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance - Station the driveway curb cuts. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Janet McTague Topic: Site Plan Number: 18 Created: 3 / 6/ 2006 [4/ 18/06] Second round comments same as 1st round [3/6/06] Need to coordinate transformer location. Will need C-1 form and approved site plan Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: fire Number: 40 Created: 3 / 8 / 2006 [4/27/06] The fire lane over the drive aisle on the north side of the lot needs to run all the way west to Eastbrook Drive. The site plan doesn't show the F.L. next to Building A. Also, the fire lane must be platted as an Emergency Access Easement. [3/8/06] ACCESS: An Emergency Access Easement is required. It shall be a minimum width of 20 feet and maintained unobstructed, and visible by painting and signage. It must consist of an all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete); compacted road base is acceptable only temporarily, during construction. Number: 42 Created: 3/8/2006 [4/27/061 [3/8/06] KNOX BOX: Poudre Fire Authority requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: General Number: 60 Created: 4 / 25/ 2006 [4/25/061 No further comments. Ready for hearing. Page 4 Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: Detail Sheet Number: 57 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance - Please add details 701, 702, 1602, 2501, and the new ramp detail (I can send that to you email if you don't have it because I don't think it's online yet). Topic: General Number: 33 Created: 3 / 7 / 2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance comment -just carrying this through until then. [3/7/06] Please provide legals and exhibits for all easements being dedicated by separate document for our review. Number: 34 Created: 3 / 7 / 2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance comment -just carrying this through until then. [3/7/06] All easements to be dedicated by separate document have a $250 processing fee each plus the appropriate Larimer County filing fee. Number: 35 Created: 3 / 7 / 2006 [4/ 18/06] I'm checking with Stormwater to see if we can get by with just a letter of permission from Lot 4 versus an actual easement since Lot 4 is owned by this development as well. [3/7/06] Please show, label and dimension all easements on all plan sets. All plan sets need to match. The landscape plans are showing offsite grading along the. north side of the property line that the utility plans do not. Number: 53 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] The utility easement vacation request was routed and approved provided that this project does not require any portion of the easement to remain. It appears from the plans that this is not going to be a problem. In addition, a $400 fee for vacating the easement is required. Please forward a check made out to "City of Fort Collins" prior to going to hearing if possible or we can put the payment off until Final Compliance if you need to. The legals and exhibit as well as the actual vacation can take place during Final Compliance. Number: 59 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Engineering is ready for this project to go to Hearing. Topic: Grading Sheet Number: 56 Created: 4/ 18/2006 [4/ 18/06] Final Compliance - Label all slope ratios. Page 3 Number: 63 Created: 5/ 15/2006 [5/ 15/06] Tim Buchanan, City Forester, indicated that the current Landscape Plan shows the use of Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor), but not as a street tree. This species is very sensitive to high pH soils that frequently occur in Fort Collins. It is very unlikely that this species will survive or thrive in this project. An alternative species such as Bur Oak should be considered. Number: 64 Created: 5/ 15/2006 [5/ 15/06] Regarding the proposed trees on the Landscape Plan, Section 3.2.1(D) (3) - Minimum Species Diversity of the Land Use Code, sets for the maximum percentage of any one species of tree that can occur in a development plan. In this case, there are 62 trees proposed and there can be no more than 15% of any one species, equaling 9 trees. Therefore, the proposed amount of Colorado Blue Spruce (10) and Black Hills Spruce (11) exceed the allowable by a couple of trees each. Please revise the Final Compliance Landscape Plan to address this issue. Topic: Site Plan Number: 13 Created: 3 / 1 / 2006 [5/ 15/06] Just to reiterate. Assuming the dashed lines around the buildings are the intended "Building Envelopes". They must be labeled as such on the Site Plan. The label "Proposed Easement" (in Building A) would not be correct. [3/ l/06] On the Site Plan, are the buildings as shown the building footprints or the building envelopes? Building envelopes should be shown, with scaled dimensions for the sides and distances from property lines. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 45 Created: 3 / 9 / 2006 [5/ 15/06] Just to reiterate. Also, no trees can be planted within 4' of gas mains or gas services to each building. [3/9/06] Len Hilderbrand of Xcel Energy indicated that the proposed 10' wide utility easement must extend across the entire length of the east frontage of the office park. Number: 46 Created: 3/9/2006 [5/ 15/06] Will Comcast Cable's concern be addressed with Final Compliance and easement dedications through separate documents? If the entire site outside of the building envelopes is going to be a utility easement then they have no problem as long as this is stated on the plat. [3/9/06] Dennis Greenwalt of Comcast Cable TV indicated that they did not receive a plat map for this project. They would like to see utility easements that would allow them to build from the street up to the buildings. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins VF Ripley Associates, Inc. Date: 05/ 15/2006 c/o Joanna Frye 401 West Mountain Avenue, #201 Fort Collins, CO. 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for EASTBROOK OFFICE PARK, PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments:' ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: fire Number: 62 Created: 5/ 15/2006 [5/ 15/06] Please see the attached copy of Poudre Fire Authority's "fire lane" requirements. The current Site Plan (dated 4/ 12/06) does not show the fire lane, which must be dedicated through separate document. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 17 Created: 3/ 1 /2006 [5/ 15/06] Just to reiterate. Also, please consider adding'some evergreen trees (native species) along the west - northwest side of the site for additional screening between residential neighbors to the northwest and this development. [3/ l/06] Will the proposed native shrub plantings along the parking lots on the north and south sides of the development provide sufficient year -around screening from adjacent properties to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 3.2. 1 (E) (4) (b) of the Land Use Code? *In the case of the north parking lot, screening from all residential uses shall consist of a fence or wall 6' in height in combination with plant material of sufficient opacity to block at least 75% of light from vehicle headlights. *In the case of the south parking lot, screening from all non-residential uses shall consist of a wall, fence, planter, earthen berm, plant material or a combination of such elements, each of which shall have a minimum height of 30". Such screening shall extend a minimum of 70% of the length of any boundary of the parking lot that abuts any non-residential use. Page 1
