Current Planning Contact Info: Anne Aspen 221-6206, aaspen@fcgov.com 1. 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 4.16 Community Commercial — Poudre River District. 2. The entire Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) is available for your review on the web at http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse/begin.htm 3. When developing your plans, pay particular attention to the following sections of the Code: • 3..2.1 Landscaping • 3.2.2 Access, Circulation and Parking • 3.5.1 Building Standards • 3.5.3 Mixed -use Institutional and Commercial Buildings • 4.16 (D) Development Standards for the CCR District. 4. 1 will have more comments once I have more detailed plans to review. 5. You will need to set up an appointment to submit your PDP application with Ginger Dodge at 221-6750. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted. Please let me know if you have any questions about the requirements for your submittal. 5 2. There is an existing 8" water main on the south side of Cherry. There is a 24" main on the north side of the site maintained by Weld Co. 3. Whichever sewer main you tap into, you will need a permit to bore under the RR tracks. 4. It is not recommended to put water, wastewater and electric in the same bore under the tracks even if large. 5. You will need separate service for residential and commercial tenants. You might be able to eliminate this requirement if you add a deed restriction to prevent restaurants and laundries from being commercial tenants. 6. You will need to work with the City on issues around discharge points for the drains in the indoor parking. Factors that will influence whether it is treated as wastewater or stormwater will depend on the elevation and layout of the parking, the overall grading, etc. 7. Water conservation standards apply to this project. 8. Development fees and rights are due prior to receiving Building Permit. Stormwater Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 224-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com 1. This site is in the Old Town drainage basin where the new development fee is $4,150.00/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is issued and is charged only when there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. 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. Parking lot detention is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is 5000 square feet or less of new imperviousness, water quantity detention is not required nor is water quality extended detention. The applicant thought that Basil had said water quantity detention would not be required but that was before he knew the site does not drain north directly into the Poudre River. Since the railroad tracks prohibit drainage toward the river, the site actually drains into Cherry St., so onsite detention is required. Also, roof top detention and a green roof were discussed as options. Water quality treatment is required for normal roof drainage as well as driveways and other impervious areas. 4. There are inlets in Cherry Street at the corners of College and Mason. Either one can be used as an outfall. 5. Containment of garage runoff from cleaning operations needs to be considered since that type of water is not allowed to be discharged into the storm sewer. Transportation Planning Contact Info: Dave Averill 416-2643, daverill@fcgov.com 1. Please contact David directly for his comments on the transportation aspects of your proposal. 4 5. Since your proposed building placement won't allow for the standard utility easement, you'll need to get approval from all the utilities for your plan. Additionally, a utility coordination meeting is recommended. 6. Utility plans, a Development Agreement, a Development Construction Permit and plat will need to be prepared for this project. 7. Any utility connections across College or Cherry through open trenching will incur triple street cut fees because of the recent street improvements. Talk to Lance Newlin about street cut fees and whether that is a better option than jack and bore in this situation. Lance can be reached at 416-2011 or Inewlin@fcgov.com. 8. A repay may be due for Cherry St. road improvements. Contact Matt Baker to discuss, at 224-6108. 9. Because of the proposed driveway to underground parking, this project is reminiscent of the Cortina project. A major difference is that Cortina sits on a local street with very low volumes, and this project is effectively on an arterial. A very close look will need to be taken at the design of the ramp to the underground parking. This ram p should be located fully outside of the ROW for Cherry Street, and significant attention should be paid to sight distance issues: will drivers coming up the ramp be able to stop in time to avoid hitting pedestrians on the sidewalk? Will visibility be adequate to ensure the safety of the motorists entering and exiting the structure? Will cars be able to stop and wait to exit without blocking the sidewalk for significant periods of time? 10. The driveway into and out of your underground parking lot needs to be straight for 25' to ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety. The ramp must be floodproof. 11. Contact Ron Gonzales at the Poudre Fire Authority at 416-2864 for their requirements before submitting your PDP. 12. The developer is responsible for sidewalk improvements on Cherry St. 13. All public improvements need to be made in accordance with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Light and Power Contact Info: Bruce Vogel, 224-6157, bvogel@fcgov.com 1. This is a tough spot for development because it is isolated from utilities. There is existing 3 phase available to the northeast but it is across the RR tracks. You can bore under the tracks with a RR permit, but you will likely need an 8" or bigger bore because of the river rocks and poor soil. 2. If you don't need 3 phase, there is existing single phase across Cherry to the south, for which you'd need to pothole all the other utilities and bore under Cherry, which is likely to be costly. 3. The transformer location will need to be coordinated with Light and Power. 4. If you will need 50kva or under, we can locate the transformer in a vault. If over 50kva, it'll need to be pad mounted. Water / Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. There is an existing 30" sewer main located on the north side of the Burlington Northern Railroad line. A 6-inch sanitary sewer is located in Cherry Street to the east of the Union Pacific Railroad. K, ITEM: mixed -use mostly residential project on the north side of Cherry St. between College and Mason MEETING DATE APPLICANT: October 18, 2004 Mikal Torgerson M Torgerson Architects 223 North College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80524 LAND USE DATA: Request to develop a new 3 story 13,000sf mixed -use residential building with below grade parking. The property is within the City of Fort Collins and is currently zoned CCR — Community Commercial — Poudre River District. The following departmental agencies have offered comments for this proposal based on a conceptual plan which was presented to the review team. COMMENTS: Zoning Contact Info: Gary Lopez, 416-2338, glopez@fcgov.com 1. Mixed -use dwelling units are a permitted use in the CCR District and would be subject to a Type I (Administrative) review. 2. Please refer to 3.2.2 (K) for minimum parking standards for this project. Engineering Contact Info: Katie Moore, 221-6605, kamoore@fcgov.com 1. Larimer County Road Impact Fees and Street Oversizing Fees for this site will apply. Street oversizing fees will be approximately $1120 per dwelling unit. Contact Matt Baker at (970) 224-6108 for an updated estimate of the fees for this kind of use. 2. A Traffic Impact Study will be required for this project to determine access points. The access point may be right -in -right -out only. Because of the RR crossings, there is not enough room for a left turn lane. Contact Eric Bracke at (970) 224-6062 for a scoping meeting. 3. The left turn from northbound College Ave. to Cherry St. will eventually be eliminated. 4. Right -of way may need to be dedicated along Cherry, which is a collector with parking. The ROW is 76', half of which you will be responsible for dedicating from the centerline of Cherry. COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 2Q N. College Ave. P.O.
