This development proposal is subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards, and Division 4.19 Neighborhood Commercial District 5. When developing your plans, pay particular attention to the following sections of the Code: • 3.5.1(B) and (E) Architectural Character and Building Materials • 3.5.1(E)(2) and (3) Glare and Windows • 3.5.3 Mixed -use Institutional and Commercial Buildings • 3.8.7 Signs 6. This property will be subject to the design and land use standards within the NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district, including but not limited to: minimum building frontage and building height. 7. You will need to set up an appointment to submit your application with Ginger Dodge in Current Planning at 221-6750. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted. 8. Please let me know if you have any questions about the requirements for your submittal. 61, Stormwater Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6700, gschlueter@fcgov.com 1. This site is in the Spring Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2175.00/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. 2. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. 3. Onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity and extended detention is required for water quality treatment. These are required if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet. If there is less than 1000 but more than 350 square feet of new imperviousness a site grading plan is all that is required. Parking lot detention is allowed as long as the maximum depth is one foot or less. 4. The outfall for this site would probably be the curb and gutter of either Raintree or Shields. There is an outfall system on the Senior Center site but the system would need to be analyzed to see if it could take the additional runoff. This storm sewer system does extend to inlets in Evenstar Court and Raintree Drive. Natural Resources Contact Info: Doug Moore, 224-6143, dmoore@fcgov.com 1. Please contact Tim Buchanan at 221-6361, thuchanan@fcgov.com regarding the existing trees on the site. Depending on their size, health and desirability of the species, they may be determined to be significant. Transportation Planning Contact Info: Dave Averill 416-2643, daverill@fcgov.com 1. When you start to develop your plans in more detail, please provide a connecting walkway. One obvious location would be off Raintree adjacent to the head in parking. If the walkway goes along head in parking, it needs to be 6 feet wide. 2. 1 will research the history of why the sidewalk north of Raintree is attached. It should really be detached to standards (6 foot walkway with 10' parkway). 3. Please provide bike racks in a location convenient to bikers near the door. Current Planning Contact Info: Anne Aspen 221-6206, aaspen@fcgov.com 1. The schematic design presented at conceptual review shows you've thought out some of the main issues I see with the site already. Please maintain your build -to lines as you develop the plan further. And to echo David's comments, I will want to see pedestrian connections and amenities once you've developed the site more thoroughly. 2. 1 encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to create a space with other uses in addition to the bank. There is good demand for small business/office/small retail space so you could tap into more value both now and in the future with a larger footprint, perhaps even going up. You might be able to collaborate with businesses needing parking at different times to solve your parking issue. 3. The entire Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) is available for your review on the web at httg://www.colocode.com/ftcollinsAanduse/begin.htm U contact at the Senior Center but if not, contact us and we'll put you in touch with appropriate staff. Assuming the parties agree, an access easement agreement would be drawn up by Ralph Campano, the City's Real Estate Manager (221-6275 or rcampano@fcgov.com), then would be taken before City Council for approval. Council would need to approve of the cross - access easement prior to final approval of the plans. 4. As you correctly assumed, no access will be permitted from Shields. Access off Raintree is permitted, assuming you can make it on the west side of your site. The access point needs to be 175' from the centerline of Shields and 30' from the edge of the Senior Center parking lot entrance. Left turns could be tricky off Raintree. It might need to be a right in right out access because of the length of the left turn lane on Raintree. Please contact Eric Bracke in Traffic Operations regarding this topic to determine possible solutions. 5. Right-of-way dedications for streets and utility easements will need to be made for this project. Shields is a 4 lane arterial and the ROW is 115' total (57.5' to the centerline of Shields). Add an additional 12' if a right turn lane is needed for southbound Shields. Raintree's ROW is 72' plus any additional needed for turn lanes. The standard utility easement width for Shields is 15' and 9' is standard for Raintree. 6. A repay may be due for the work recently done on Shields. Contact Matt Baker to find out at (970) 221-6605. 7. Any existing damaged sidewalk and curb and gutter will need to be repaired or replaced. 8. Utility plans, a development agreement and a development construction permit will need to be prepared for this project. 9. Any public improvements must be made according to Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. 10. Owner will be responsible for undergrounding any remaining overhead utilities. Light and Power Rob Irish, 224-6167, rirish@fcgov.com 1. The existing service is located on Shields and on the south side of Raintree. 2. The transformer location will need to be coordinated between the applicant and the City. It needs to be within 10' of pavement. If it is located such that the shared access is the most logical way for a repair truck to reach it, then a utility easement will be needed in addition to the shared access easement. 3. Electric capacity and building site charges apply to this project. 4. Any system modifications or relocation will need to be done at the owner's expense. Water / Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer on Shields. There is a 30" water main on Shields and an 8" water main on Raintree. 2. Currently this site uses a septic system. This system needs to be abandoned and you need to connect to the sewer system on Shields. 3. Water service exists on the site to the Shields main. It runs diagonally to the intersection. 4. Water conservation standards apply to this project. 3 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: Home State branch bank and possible office/retail space, NW corner of Raintree and Shields MEETING DATE: August 16, 2004 APPLICANT: Scott Sinn, ASLA BHA Design Inc. 4813 Innovation Dr. Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request to build a branch bank and office/retail space.
