Yours Truly, � Aaeul" Steve Olt City Planner cc: Susan Joy Stewart & Associates Current Planning File #29-04 Page 8 Topic. Erosion/Sediment Control Number: 53 Created: 4/19/2005 [4/19/05] 1. Standard notes must be on the plan. 2. Need erosion calculations. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David AverW Topic. Erosion/Sediment Control Number: 54 Created: 4/20/2005 [4/20/05] No further comments - please route all future submittals. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic. Utility Plans Number: 49 Created: 4/18/2005 [4/18/05] Curb stop and meter pit may not be located in detention pond. Provide a detail for the relocation of the existing curb stop. Number: 50 Created: 4/18/2005 [4/18/05] See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number: 4 Created: 8/5/2004 [4/11/05] I've had a conversation with the applicant regarding the existing garage straddling the west lot line of Lot 1. According to the applicant, the property line already bisects the garage. Since we can't approve a plat that creates a nonconformity, the site plan should indicate that the existing west property.line isin the same place as the lot line shown, therefore the garage straddling the line is an already existing condition, and not a new situation. [3/15/05] [8/5/04] What is the sliver of land between the "Loyd Property" and Tract 1? The square footage of it is shown, but what is it. It should be labeled as a lot or tract if it's part of the subdivision. Number: 38 Created: 4/11/2005 [4/11/05] This now appears to be more than a replat. It appears to be a PDP that includes a church. If so, then the following items need to be addressed: 1. The "site data" on the site plan lists the land use as single family and church, but the.off- street parking data only includes the parking for the dwelling, not the church. Add the number of church parking to the data information, 2. The proposed location of the church building doesn't comply with the build -to -line standards in 3.5.3(B). 3. show the church building setback distances from the lot lines on the site plan. 4. Need a bike rack. 5. Need a handicap parking space and accessible route to the building. Page 7 3. Compacted road base shall be used during the construction phase only. The permanent fire lane shall consist of asphalt or concrete and shall be required to support 40 tons. 4. The fire lane shall be platted as an "Emergency Access Easemeat" on the final plat. Number: 57 'Created: 4/21/2005' [4/21/05] WATER SUPPLY: Commercial No commercial building can be greater then 300 feet from a fire hydrant. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1500 gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. 1997 UFC 901.2.2.2 Number: 58 Created: 4/21/2005 [4/21/05] These two conditions, if not met would require the instillation of a fire sprinkler system. 1) Water Supply — If a hydrant, when required can not be provided for whatever reason, a fire sprinkler system shall be provided. 2) Fire Apparatus Access - When any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more then 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility it shall be fire sprinklered. Number: 59 Created: 4/21/2005 [4/21/05] PREMISES IDENTIFICATION: Approved numerals or addresses shall be provided for all new and existing building iwsuch a position as to be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting theproperty. 1997 UFC 901.4.4 Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage Number: 31 Created: 3/10/2005 [4/19/05] Only half the detention was provided, as well as no freeboard. As per discussions at the Wednesday staff meeting, if detention were to be provided on Lot 1 for Lot 2, the detention area should be on a separate tract with a drainage -,easement. This is to ensure that the detention area would not be removed and easily maintained. [3/10/05] Quantity and quality detention is required for lot 2 due to the new impervious area. Number: 51 Created: 4/19/2005 [4/19/05] There are grading issues where swales,don't have the proper slope. The water quality pond's HWL is higher than the timber wall. Number:52 Created:4/19/2005 [4/19/05] See redlines for additional comments.: Page 6 Number: 25 Created: 3/8/2005 [4/15/05] Repeat. [3/8/05] This project is responsible for desigging and constructing their. frontage to our current 2 lane arterial standards plus 1000' of preliminary designon either side of the' property boundaries. We may want to escrow the money in lieu of the actual construction of the street but that has not been determined at this time. I will need more information shown on the plans before I can take this project to Transportation Coordination to make that decision. Number: 47 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] See redlines for other comments. i i .. Number: 48 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05) More detailed comments to follow in Final Compliance. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: General Number: 40 Created: 4/11/2005 [4/11/05] The developer will need to coordinate power requirements and the electric development charges with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). Topic: Landscape Number: 39 Created: 4/11/2005 [4/11/05] A streetlight plan has been sent to Steve Olt on 4-11-05 via inter -office mail. The planned streetlight needs to be shown on the landscape plan. The street tree locations need to be adjusted to provide a minimum clearance between the streetlight and trees of 40 ft. (15 ft. if the tree is an ornamental). Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: General Number: 55 Created: 4/20/2005 [4/20/05] No issues at this time. When this project moves forward to PDP a Trash Enclosure need to be designed & built to accommodate recycling . See Guidance Document found at http://www.fcgov.com/recycling/enclosures.php- Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Topic: General Number. 56 Created: 4/21/2005 [4/21/05] REQUIRED ACCESS: A fire lane is required. The fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed. 1997 UFC 901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2;. 902.2. 1; FCLUC The criteria for a required fire lane contain several conditions that must be met: 1. The minimum width shall be 20 feet. 2. Inside turning radius shall be 25, feet and, outsideturningradius shall be 50 feet. Page 5 Topic: Grading Number: 44 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] No more than 500sf of drainage is allowed across a public sidewalk (over 2000sf of driveway is currently shown draining across the crosspan) and a swale is shown draining to the access ramp. Number: 45 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] Missing contour lines and proposed don't tie into existing. Topic. Landscape Number: 41 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] Please see your planner as soon as possible to discuss landscape requirements for the parking lot. The painted island may not be allowed and may need to be constructed with raised curb and gutter w/landscaping. If this is so, then the island may not lie within the emergency access easement. Number: 42 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] Show all utilities. Topic: Plan and Profiles Number: 46 Created: 4/15/2005 [4/15/05] Need to show proposed centerline .profile. How do the proposed improvements tie into the existing? Please provide cross sections. Need to relocate several existing utilities. See Appendix E4 redlines for other requirements that must be shown prior to scheduling a public hearing. Topic. Plat Number. 60 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] From Technical Services: Boundary and Legal close. Number: 61 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] From Technical Services: Identify "Point of Beginning" Number: 62 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] From Technical Services: Typographical error in the Legal. Topic. Utility Plans Number: 24 Created: 3/8/2005 [4/15/05] There are still several items from Appendix 14 that are not shown with this last submittal. At minimum, another round of review is required prior to scheduling a public hearing so that the remaining items can be addressed. [3/8/05] Please see the attached Appendix E4. All highlighted items must be complete before going to hearing. At this time the plans are missing the majority of the required information and will need another round before going to hearing. The remaining items must be completed in Final Compliance. Page 4 * parking lot perimeter landscaping ... Section 3.2.1(E)(4). * parking lot interior landscaping ... Section 3.2.1(E)(5). * screening of areas of low visual interest or visually intrusive site elements ... Section 3.2.1(E)(6). g. The church must comply with the applicable "build -to" line standard set forth in Section 3.5.3(B)(2) of the LUC. h. The church must comply with the institutional building design standards set forth in Sections 3.5.3(C) & (D) of the LUC. Also, per the submittal requirements for a PDP request, architectural elevations of the building sufficient to convey the basic architectural intent of the proposed structure must be submitted for review by City staff. The elevations must include building materials, roofing materials, and colors. Department: Engineering Topic: General Number: 11 Issue Contact: Susan Joy Created: 8/17/2004 [4/15/05] PFA has approved the hammerhead turnaround provided the landscape islands are located outside of the easement and the easement itself is extended to the back of the lot. [3/8/05] PFA may require a 50' radius turnaround at the end of the public access drive. Please contact PFA immediately. [8/17/04] A Public Access Easement must be dedicated on the plat for the shared access between the two properties. No new access will be granted off of LaPorte Avenue. Number: 13 Created: 8/17/2004 [4/15/05] [3/8/05] [8/17/04] Need to contact PFA for their emergency access requirements as soon as possible. Number. 18 Created: 3/8/2005 [4/15/05] I'm sorry, I misread our curb return radii table. A high volume drive off an arterial must have a 20' curb return. [3/8/05] 25' curb returns are required off an arterial, 15' are shown. Number: 43 Created: 4/15/2005 (4/15/05] May need a temporary construction easement from the property owner to the east to construct the retaining wall. Will need to provide details of the wall as well as a cross section with the property line so that we can determine whether or not this easement is necessary. If the easement is required, than a letter of intent from the effected property will be required prior to going to hearing. The actual easement itself will be required during Final Compliance. Number. 63 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] Please do not re -submit until the applicant has spoken with Steve Olt regarding an alterative way to divide and sell the property. Page 3 The property owner and the church could work together to move forward in the City's development review process with a complete PDP submittal (based on the printed Project Development Plan Submittal Requirements), ultimately going before a hearing officer at an administrative public hearing, which would then result in a decision on the PDP. At that time a Final Compliance Plan could be submitted for review and a decision. ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: General Number: 64 Created: 4/28/2005 [4/28/05] With this latest re -submittal of the development plans the applicant has added a future church building and parking lot layout. However, the information provided on the Site Plan & Landscape Plan (and the lack of a Building Elevations Plan) for the church is not sufficient to enable the applicant to receive Project Development Plan (PDP) or Final Plan approval for the church site. As a minimum, what would be needed to accomplish this is as follows: a. Information about the church in the SITE DATA on the Site Plan, including the square footage of the building and/or seating capacity so that staff could determine if the minimum parking requirements are being met, as set forth in Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(h) of the LUC. The number of parking spaces proposed for the church should also be identified in the SITE DATA. b. A building envelope for the church must be shown on the Site Plan, with scaled distances to the east and south property lines. C. Parking space dimensions on the Site Plan. Please note that the proposed 20' width of drive aisle in the parking lot where there is two-sided loading is not in compliance with Sections 3.2.2(L)(1) or (2). That drive aisle width must be 24'. d. Dimensions for the parking lot setbacks from the east and north property lines. e. Dimension of distance between the church building envelope and the parking lot. Landscaping to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 3.2.1 of the LUC, including: * "full tree stocking" around: the building ... Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c). * minimum tree species diversity on -site ... Section 3.2.1(D)(3). * buffering between incompatible uses and activities ... Section 3.2.1(E)(1) depending on the size and design of the church building. * foundation plantings around the building ... Section 3.2. 1 (E)(2)(d). Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins TED VOELKER Date: 04/28/2005 2610 CHERRY ST FT. COLLINS, CO 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for 2314 LAPORTE AVENUE SUBDIVISION, PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP) - TYPE L LAND USE CODE (LUC), and we offer the following comments: General Response: The property owner has 3 choices regarding how he wants to pursue the conveyance of a portion of his property to a church (or someone else). They are as follows: Pursuant to Section 1.4.7(B) of the Land Use Code (LUC), the property owner can convey a portion of his property to the church (or someone else) by a quit claim deed, through a metes & bounds description, recorded in Larimer County. This section of the LUC states: "Notwithstanding any provision of Colorado law to the contrary, any parcel of land, whether larger or smaller than thirty-five (35) acres, may be conveyed by metes and bounds description, without being subject to subdivision requirements; provided however, that no such conveyance shall imply or confer any right to develop, or create a new lot upon which development can occur unless such development has, prior to the conveyance, been approved in accordance with this Land Use Code or prior law and provided further that such conveyance shall not be made if it creates nonconformities of any nature whatsoever, or circumvents the intent or requirements of this Land Use Code." To be able to construct any new improvements on any portion of the property, this option requires that complete Project Development Plan (PDP) and Final Compliance Plan submittals are made to the Current Planning Department pursuant to the City's standard development review and approval process. 2. The property owner can move forward in the City's development review process, with the intent only to subdivide thepronertv into 2 lots. This option still carries certain street -related design and/or improvements to LaPorte Avenue, including associated costs. Also, this would not result in the property owner receiving PDP or Final Plan approval for the intended new improvements on the east 1/2 of the property. The `church (or someone else) would still be required to go through the City's development review process (PDP and Final Compliance) to be able to develop on the property. Page 1
