HomeMy WebLinkAboutAIRPARK VILLAGE - ODP - 16-05A - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONS (3)[9/28/07] The modeling should incorporate this site into the City's model that was
previously provided to the applicant by the City.
Response: The proposed site has been incorporated into the SWMM model, which
is included in the ODP Drainage Report.
Topic: Floodplain
Number: 5 Created: 9/28/2007
[9/28/07] The site is in the FEMA and City of Fort Collins 100-year floodplain and
floodway for Dry Creek. It is also in the FEMA 500-year floodplain for the Poudre
River. The City's Dry Creek Diversion Project may reduce the floodplain and
floodway for this area. However, all applicable floodplain regulations found in
Chapter 10 of City Code will apply based on the mapping that is in effect at the time
of development. The Poudre River 500-year floodplain will not change as part of the
Dry Creek Diversion Project. Therefore, no critical facilities will be allowed within the
Poudre 500-year floodplain.
At time of PDP submittal a floodplain report should be submitted. A copy of the
floodplain report requirements are available upon request.
Please show the current FEMA and City floodplain and floodway lines on the plans.
Response: Acknowledged.
Topic: General
Number: 9 Created: 9/28/2007
[9/28/07] The level of this submittal is in general inadequate. The submitted
drainage report does not comply with our standards for an ODP. No grading was
shown, the narrative does not describe the drainage constraints that had to be met,
and does not clearly indicate how these will be achieved. The modeling does not
incorporate the proposed development drainage design into the regional City model.
Please use the guidance of the previously provided ODP as a model as to what is
expected at this level.
Response: Acknowledged.
Topic: Road Crossings
Number: 10 Created: 9/28/2007
The road crossing at International Boulevard will be incorporated into the CLOMR
that will be submitted to FEMA by the City, any additional crossings proposed by this
development will need to provide their own FEMA submittal showing a no rise
condition.
Response: Acknowledged.

[9/28/071 .Please use the latest channel alignment to locate the channel on the plans
as per the provided alignment by the City, the alignment shown does not match the
current alignment as designed by Ayres and Associates.
Response: The channel alignment as provided by Ayres is shown on the ODP
Drainage Plan in the ODP Drainage Report.
Topic: Drainage Constraints
Number: 8 Created: 9/28/2007
[9/28/071 The site should either release at a 2-year historical rate as a default rate
as specified in the Dry Creek masterplan. If the release rate chosen is above the 2-
year historical rate then the modeling should show that the site does not cause the
crossing under the Lincoln bridge to exceed 1240 cfs, in accordance with previous
guidance given by the City.
Response: As per our recent meeting, we have modeled the capacity of the
Masterplan DC3 channel using the HEC-RAS model provided by the City. The
model indicates that there is adequate capacity for the developed, un-detained flows
from the Airpark site. The master -planned condition provides for the flow reductions
needed to manage the ultimate 100-year runoff to a level that is below 1240 cfs at
the Lincoln bridge (1219 cfs). Please see the drainage report for more information.
In interim conditions, the site can release into the Dry Creek Channel while keeping
the flow within the banks of the proposed Dry Creek channel, as upstream
improvements are completed, the 1-foot of freeboard in the channel will be achieved.
Response: As noted above, the HEC-RAS analysis of the Dry Creek Channel
indicates that there will be adequate capacity for the un-detained flows.
The current drainage map shows that a significant portion of the site draining to the
south toward existing county development. The proposed ODP should show all the
site draining back to the proposed Dry Creek Channel including the south portion of
Basins E1 through E8.
Response: Acknowledged. This is shown with flow arrows on the ODP Drainage
Plan and is also reflected in the drainage basin map.
The site will need to show that no adverse conditions are caused by this
development during interim or ultimate conditions on any neighboring or downstream
property. A statement to this effect should be clearly stated and acknowledged in
the drainage report.
Response: Acknowledged.

/ East Mulberry Corridor Plan update process, which will most likely update the
master street plan on a vicinity -wide basis.
Number: 27 Created: 10/3/2007
[10/3/07] The ODP will need to reflect what is shown on the Master Street Plan —
therefore the ODP as shown can not yet be taken to hearing.
Response: Based on several meetings with Ward Stanford, Kathleen Bracke, Sheri
Langenberger, Pete Wray, and Ted Shepard, where we discussed the project's
compliance with the current master street plan, we have come to an agreement that
what we are now showing is considered to be compliant therewith.

[9/18/07] Electric service will be provided by Ft. Collins Light & Power Utility. The
nearest sources of power are the N.W. corner of Timberline & Lincoln and other
locations on the E. side of Timberline. The developer will need to coordinate power
locations, requirements and electric development charges with Light & Power

[10/3/07] Typically the drainage channels are also shown as another symbol across
the property — but I defer to stormwater on how they wish this channel to be shown
across the property.
Response: Please see the revised drawing that now incorporates this comment.
Number: 23 Created: 10/3/2007
[10/3/07] An alley would not typically be shown on a ODP level plan — but if you feel
some sort of vehicular link is needed along the southern boundary of the property it
would be best to identify that with another symbol and indicate that it is to be a x-
access/ private drive/ street, but I would not define it as an alley as I doubt it would
meet current criteria for a public alley designation — by keeping it more general you
are not limiting what this maybe.

[10/3/07] What does the 50' flight path mean — what is the area allowed to be and
what are the restrictions? Since it is not something the City is asking for or has
defined this needs to be spelled out.
Response: There are several existing helipads in the adjacent neighborhood. We
agreed at the hearings on annexation and zoning to provide a helicopter flight path,
which basically means we will have no buildings and if allowed no trees within it.

[10/3/07] The request to amend the master street plan was received - some
additional information and more analysis is needed before the City can determine if
we agree with and can support this requested change to the Master Street Plan.
Response: We are no longer requesting a master street plan amendment at this
time. After the approval of the ODP, we anticipate being part of a Master Street Plan

determined width. They also just need to be labeled with the category of roadway
(as defined on the master street plan) such as Arterial or Collector. Any design,
cross-section, and width of the roadways will be determined latter when the PDPs
for the project are submitted. So do not label the roadway as a Boulevard (that is
not a category of street we have) also do not indicate the size or if parking will be
along the roadway — those are all things that will be determined with the PDP
submittals and reviews.
Response: Please see the revised drawing that now incorporates this comment.

[10/3/07] For the non arterials and collector streets on the plans these can be
shown, but is probably best shown only as arrows to indicate connections at these
points. This could be arrows leading off of the arterial to show internal roadway
connections, or the connections across the drainage channel or connections to the
adjacent property.
Response: Please see the revised drawing that now incorporates this comment.

[10/3107] Where two roadways cross —just show them as crossing as with the
design of the roadway intersection design will be determined at the time of PDP and
are not in any way indicated or set with an ODP.
Response: Please see the revised drawing that now incorporates this comment.
Number: 20 Created: 10/3/2007
[10/3/07] Need to show street connections crossing the drainage channel for any
parcels that will be on the north side of the channel and with this connections coming
off of the arterial to connect into that system of streets. Tracts 12 and 13 can not
just be accessed form the adjacent dry creek development. PFA has already
indicated that they want these connections to tie back into the arterial on this
property when the adjacent property is developed. That is why it is important to
show these connections on the ODP plan and on the buffer plan.
