Request includes subdivision plat. COMMENTS: 1. According to the Zoning Code, all recycling must be within an enclosed structure. Materials cannot be stored outside. 2. There presently is an overhead electrical line on College Avenue. This line will need an easement. Before the easement will be accepted, Light and Power must inspect the site. There should be 20 to 22 feet of clearance for the overhead line. If the line must be raised, this will be done at the developer's expense. 3. If the new building will be on its own meter, then an underground line must be provided from the pole to the meter. The new meter must be reviewed by Light and Power. A "commercial one" form must be filled out to determine electrical capacity. Please contact Bruce Vogel at 221-6700. 4. There is a sewer main that runs across the property. Any new develop- ment should not disturb this line. It is preferred that the area above the line be kept in pavement. The subdivision plat should provide a 20 foot easement for this main. 5. The water main that serves this property is located on the east side of College Avenue. If the new building needs water, it must be provided on its own separate line. This will require boring under College Avenue to tap the main. Since College Avenue is a State Highway, a permit must be obtained from the State Highway Department. The City will facilitate this permit process. Please contact Mr. Mark Taylor at 221-6681 for details. 6. The new building is located in the Dry Creek Floodplain. A Floodplain Use Permit must be obtained from the Stormwater Utility. The building floor elevation must be a minimum of 18 inches above the base flood elevation. 0 7. If new pavement increases the amount of impervious surface area, then a Drainage Report must be submitted to the Stormwater Utility. Detained flows should flow into the channel of Dry Creek. The Dry Creek Drain- age Basin has a drainage fee structure. For further details, call Glen Schlueter at 221-6589. 8. The City's Transportation and Engineering Department will conduct a site inspection and evaluate the impacts of the P.U.D. to determine the extent of public improvements that will be required. The areas to be investi- gated include the condition or existence of the sidewalk, curb, gutter, and the need for additional right-of-way. There is a possibility that these improvements can be secured by a financial instrument and constructed at a future date. During the P.U.D. review process, these issues will be finalized. It is possible that a Development Agreement will be generated describing the obligations of the developer and the City. The contact person for Engineering details is Rick Richter, 221-6750, and for Trans- portation, Rick Ensdorff, 221-6608. 9. A subdivision plat will be required before a building permit will be issued. The plat will be reviewed concurrently with the P.U.D. at no extra fee. The plat should indicate existing an new easements and the location of the required, if any, public improvements. The plat is the instrument by which additional public right-of-way for College Avenue will be dedicated. Please contact the Planning Department on the require- ments of subdivision plat. 10. If the new building is to be the rear lot of two or three lot subdivision, then a fire department access easement must be platted. This "cross access easement" will ensure that the back lot will not be cut off from the public street. This easement should be a minimum of 20 feet wide. Any turns must have an inside turning radius of 20 feet and an outside turning radius of 40 feet. The surface must be paved or made up of a roadbase material that meets the minimum standards of the Poudre Fire Authority. For further information, please contact Roger Frasco at 221-6570. 11. A Street Oversizing Fee will be assessed. This fee is based on the proposed land use and the amount of land area involved. Please contact Mr. Matt Baker at 221-6605 for details. 12. If the amount of new traffic generated by the proposed new use increases by more than 20%, then the State Highway Department must review the P.U.D. It may be required that a new State Highway Access Permit would have to be issued. If such is the case, the City will facilitate the permit. Please contact Mr. Mike Herzig, 221-6750 for details. 13. The Planning Department will inspect the site and evaluate the impacts of the proposed P.U.D. It may be that additional landscaping on the site will be required for both the new building and along College Avenue.
