HomeMy WebLinkAboutTIMBERLINE CENTER - PDP - 41-05A - CORRESPONDENCE -Convenience Shopping Center as a one separate use category. Then, under this category, please describe the proposed uses within this center as components. 12. The table should use the terminology "Retail Stores with Vehicle Servicing" for the tire shop and "Vehicle Minor Repair Servicing and Maintenance" for the tube shop and carwash. Also, please note the distinction in the restaurant definitions between "fast food" and "drive-in." The two restaurants shown on the plans for Buildings E and K and designated as 'fast food" are actually "drive-in." 13. Buildings A, B, C, F and G contain the designation "restaurant." This should be further described as "Standard Restaurant." 14. Please re -label Sagebrush Drive as "Joseph Allen Drive." 15. Should the site plan contain multiple ownership signature blocks like the plat? 16. Please add the following note to General Notes on the site plan: "Electrical transformers and natural gas equipment shall be fully screened from public view by a solid hedge of plant material or an enclosure meeting the clearance specifications of Light and Power. Such enclosure must match the predominant materials of the building(s) being served. Transformers must be within ten feet of hard surface." 17. Please add the following note to the General Notes on the site plan: "All outside functions associated with the restaurants, whether standard, fast food or drive-in, shall be fully screened from public view. Such functions may include, but are not limited to, delivery operations, loading docks, walk-in coolers and freezers, trash receptacles and the like. Screening materials must match the predominant materials of the building. 18. On General Note number nine, please add: "... and will not interfere with pedestrian walkways." 19. Please replace General Note 11 with the following: "All internal pedestrian walkways shall be distinguished from driving surfaces through the use of durable, low -maintenance surface materials such as scored concrete to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort as well as the attractiveness of the walkways." 20. Comments related to the Lighting Plan will be made under separate cover. Be sure and 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. Ted Shepard Chief Planner V Page 7 outdoor walk-in coolers and freezers. If the end -users are not known at this time, then the P.D.P. should provide a "typical' detail that calls out these screening elements. 3. In order to preserve the view from the public streets, Section 3.5.1 — Operational and Physical Compatibility Standards - will be applied to this project to the maximum extent feasible. Please note that this may require specific screening devices for such areas and appurtenances as used tire storage, tire display racks, outdoor vending machines and the like. 4. There appears to be outdoor patios provided for Buildings E, K, L, M and N. These areas should be labeled as such. Also, an outdoor waiting area/patio should be provided for customers of the carwash — Building H. A good example of such an area is the Old Town Carwash on North College Avenue. In fact, outdoor customer waiting areas and outdoor dining opportunities abound within this project. Staff recommends that these outdoor areas feature an amenity package common to all users so that furniture, lighting, trash receptacles, etc. are of high quality and consistent across the center. 5. For Buildings E, F, G and H, the parking layout runs parallel to the storefronts versus perpendicular. This means that customers in the parking lot must walk between parked cars to gain access to individual stores, or to cross the center to gain access to another building. To ease pedestrian travel through the parking lots, and to comply with Section 3.2.2 — Access, Circulation and Parking — centrally located north -south sidewalks must be provided. These walks can be added next to the landscaped islands so that the walkways are shaded. 6. Building E features a drive -through lane along a property line that separates the Industrial zone from the Employment zone. This does not provide a sensitive transition and the drive -through lane should be mitigated with a solid screen wall or a dense hedge of landscaping. Please refer to Section 3.5.1(H) — Land Use Transition. 7. For all drive-in uses, please refer to Section 3.2(H) — Drive -In Facilities. Based on this standard, if the bank features a drive -up A.T.M., then a walk-up A.T.M. must also be provided. 8. For the bank, Building J, a screen wall or dense hedge of landscaping will be needed to shield headlights from the drive -through lane that will face east onto Timberline Road. 9. For Building K, under the drive -through restaurant scenario, the drive -through lane and pick-up window along the east side of the building will need significant screening from Timberline Road. 10. The amount of parking will be calculated based on five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area for all but the enclosed mini -storage. Based on this ratio, the center will be allowed a maximum of 490 spaces. The parking provided, 487, falls below this maximum. Please adjust the parking analysis table accordingly. 11. Please create a new land use, square footage and parking table so that it more accurately reflects the permitted use list in the Industrial zone. Please describe the Page 6 Number: 34 Created: 11 /2/2005 [11/2/05] Please call out all fittings, thrust blocks, type and length of pipe, etc. Number: 42 Created: 11 /4/2005 [11/4/05] Is the Timberline Star property going to need new water and sewer services when the property develops? If so, the extension of the water and sewer mains in Sagebrush Drive to the property line may be warranted. Department: Water Utilities Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/WW Number: 39 Created: 11 /3/2005 [11/3/05] Please schedule a meeting with Water and PFA to discuss fire hydrant locations. Some of the hydrants in the mini -storage lot do not appear to be useable by PFA, and the FH's at the entrances to the mini -storage need to be moved out to the Sagebrush R.O.W Number: 40 Created: 11 /3/2005 [11/3/05] A utility coordination meeting is strongly recommended early in the design process. Number: 41 Created: 11 /3/2005 [11/3/05] The 24-inch water main in Timberline is cathodically protected; therefore, the 8- inch connection must be isolated per the City detail.

Number: 3 Created: 10/24/2005 [10/24/05] Area is located in the Neighborhood Residential sign district requiring standards as a Neighborhood Service Center and requiring that proposed locations of building wall signs be approved on the elevation drawings. Comments from Current Planning: 1. Staff will not be supporting the Modification to the three-quarter mile separation between Convenience Retail Stores with Fuel Sales based on the Current Planning Director's Administrative Interpretation #8-05 dated July 1, 2005. Your Request for Modification will be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board for their consideration. 2. Buildings A, B, C, D, F, G, J, K, L and M comply with the connecting walkway standard but it is the rear or sides of the buildings that face the street. Since none of these buildings have an entrance that faces the street, Staff is concerned about the relationship between the sides and rear and the public streets. Special landscaping and screening will be required to screen the utility meters, transformers, ground - mounted HVAC equipment, outdoor condensers and, in the case of restaurants, Page 5 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: Site Plan Number: 29 Created: 11 /1 /2005 [11/1/05] Bicycle parking locations are a bit confusing when looking at the different plan sets. The site plans have a "B" for the location, which often looks like its sitting off in the grass away from a paved surface. The landscape plans use a more discernable bicycle rack symbol, and these look like they are to be installed on a hard surface - which the code requires. Can we coordinate these a bit better for future submittals. Number: 30 Created: 11/1/2005 [11/1/05] How much bicycle parking is going to be provided with this project? Call out the specific number in the "Parking Analysis" table on sheet one of the preliminary stie plan. Thanks. Number: 31 Created: 11 /1 /2005 [11/1/05] The access ramp in the vicinity of Bldg N confuses me.

Topic: Sagebrush Drive Variance Number: 12 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31/05] Your variance request for the modified industrial local has been denied. There is quite a bit of history to this but I'll try keep it short. The street section along the Police Station was based on an old TIS for Mansion Park, a residential neighborhood that is no longer going to happen. What was to be Mansion Park has asked for rezone to commercial and the anticipated traffic patterns will change. Depending on the TIS, the Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins VF RIPLEY ASSOCIATES Date: 11/08/2005 SANDY MCFERON 401 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE, SUITE 201 FORT COLLINS, CO 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for TIMBERLINE CENTER PDP, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: Alternative Site Plan Number: 19 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31/05] Same comments apply here.
