HomeMy WebLinkAboutHARMONY OAKS - PDP - 17-05 - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)13. Since Harmony Road is a state highway, the access point must comply with the Harmony Road Access Control Plan adopted jointly by the City and CDOT. The project must also comply with the Access Control Plan and a State Highway Access Permit must be obtained. The City will assist in this permit as we are the issuing authority. Please contact Tess Jones, 970-350-2163,CDOT, Region IV, in Greeley regarding the vacation of the "A Line." 14. The Transportation Impact Study will be used by CDOT to determine whether or not a deceleration and/or acceleration lane will be needed on Harmony in order to serve the site. 15. The proposed parallel parking stalls are too close to the flowline of Harmony Road and do not meet the parking stall setback requirements. 16. The Utility Plans must include a design of Harmony east to Boardwalk and west to Harmony Center. Sidewalk connections may be needed in both directions to link the site to both Boardwalk and Stover/Harmony Center. A Development Agreement will be needed prior to recording of the plans. For further information, please contact, Marc Virata, Development Review Engineer, 221- 6605. 17. The site is located in the McClelland -Mail Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre subject to the amount of impervious surface and the runoff coefficient. At the time of submittal, a Drainage Report, Grading and Drainage Plan, and Erosion Control Plan must be included in the plan sets. 18. Onsite stormwater detention may be required depending on how the site drainage is designed. It appears the nearest drainage outfall is located in The Pier Apartments. Routing storm flows into this outfall system may require obtaining the necessary offsite easements if these easements are not in place already. Generally, storm water is not allowed to drain on the state highway system. 19. Water quality must be addressed. The recommended method is extended detention. For further information regarding stormwater drainage issues, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6681. 20. There are a number of mature trees on the property. Please be aware that the Code has tree mitigation requirements. Please contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester, regarding an inspection of the existing trees and to discuss preserving as many trees as possible. For those trees that cannot be saved, there must be an evaluation and a mitigation plan in place as part of the P.D.P. submittal. 4. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form must be completed by an electrical contractor to determine entrance capacity. The location of the electrical transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power and Planning so that it is not located along the roadway, but, rather, in a less visible location yet within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change -out. 5. For information regarding the existing overhead Public Service Line, please contact Rick Trainor at 225-7843. 6. The site can be served by the City of Fort Collins Water and Wastewater Department although the site is also on the edge of the Fort Collins Loveland Water District service area. The nearest City water line is an existing six-inch diameter water main within The Pier Apartments project that is available to serve the site. There is also a 12-inch diameter water main in Boardwalk Drive that is available. 7. The District has a water main in Harmony Road. Please contact Terry Farrill at the F.C.L.W.D., 226-3104, and Roger Buffington, City of Fort Collins, 221-6681, for information on which provider is best equiped to serve the site. 8. The City has a sanitary sewer in The Pier Apartments project that is available to serve the site. This main is in the vicinity of the northeast corner of the site. The applicant should check the plat for The Pier to see if there is an easement allowing a service line off this main to serve the site. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 9. If water and sewer services are to be provided by the City, then the applicable plant investment fees (tap fees) will apply. Also, the City charges a raw water acquisition fee in lieu of raw water based on the size of the parcel. There may a small repay due to the City for the Warren Lake Sewer Trunk. For an estimate of these fees, please contact Mary Young, 221-6681. 10. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. To determine the scope of this study and which intersections to analyze, please contact Eric Bracke, 221-6630. Keep in mind that all modes of travel must be analyzed, not just vehicles. 11. The Street Oversizing Fee will be based on square footage and anticipated trip generation. The fee is estimated to be $6.24 per square foot. The City also collects the Larimer County Road Impact Fee. Please contact Matt Baker, 221- 6605, for an estimate of these fees which are payable at the time of building permit issuance. 12. Harmony Road is classified as a "major arterial" street. This means that there must be 70.5 feet of right-of-way from property line to centerline of the roadway. Therefore, additional right-of-way dedication may or may not be needed depending on how much right-of-way exists now.
