HomeMy WebLinkAboutWILLOW STREET LOFTS - PDP - 24-04 - CORRESPONDENCE - (16)or 12 dwelling units (I-L, A-D, and E-H). The number of bedrooms per unit still needs to be indicated. Number: 77 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] Need to show/label and dimension the building footprint/envelope and setbacks from building to lot lines. You will not be required to have another formal round of review prior to hearing. However, there are several items which we identified at the end of staff review which need to be addressed and reviewed before hearing. These items are: architectural design and compatibility; Letters of Intent from Helen Matson at the City's Real Estate Services and the Bas Bleu Theatre; written acknowledgement that additional design work may be required for Pine Street if not addressed with the CIP project; a plat if you choose to replat; a maintenance agreement with Craig Foreman at the Parks Department for the United Way parking lot; water quality measures to be incorporated into the design; and the modification for the 4"' story on the Willow building. Once we have had a chance to review these revisions, and assuming that the revisions are adequate, we will be able to schedule your administrative hearing. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. You may either deliver the whole packet to me to distribute or you may deliver to individual reviewers. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6206. Sincerely, PnneH. WAspe/kjj" City Planner Page 7 Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number: 3 Created: 7/14/2004 (10/17/06] The routing cover sheet still states that this is a Type 2 project. It can be a Type 1 as long as the "commercial" uses are limited to those that are Type 1 uses. If they want this to be a Type 1, then they should clearly indicate that the "commercial" in the Land Use Statistics table is for "Type 1 commercial uses only". [7/14/04] The project is entered in the system as a Type 2. The 9-9-02 conceptual review comment letter indicates that the uses required a Type 2. The applicants 7-8-04 letter states that multi -family and commercial/retail are permitted as a Type 1. The applicants 7-8 letter is correct. It was the Giddings Building conversion to theater that triggered a Type 2, but since that is no longer part of this particular PDP, then this project can now be processed as a Type 1. Number: 4 Created: 7/14/2004 [10/17/06] 1 no longer have the original submittal plans to refer too, so I can't recall the specifics of this comment. However, if this is now one big building, then some description would be helpful. i.e. Mixed -use building with commercial uses and 20 dwelling units. If the carport actually separates the building into multiple buildings, then there needs to be a description of what each building is and how many dwelling units in each building. [7/14/04] The Land Use Statistics table on the site plan should contain a better description of the residential component. For instance, all that is stated is that there are 24 1-bedroom units. However, it should be stated that there is one 8-plex (Q to X), one 4-plex (M-P) and one mixed use building that contains what looks to be either 8 dwelling units (I - L and A-D) or 12 dwelling units (I-L, A-D, and E-H). The number of bedrooms per unit still needs to be indicated.

Show all existing and proposed utilities. - Topic: Stormwater- water quality Number:80 Created:10/17/2006 [10/17/06] No water quality measures are shown. The site needs to provide some measures for water quality. A disconnected impervious areas concept would be ideal in ultra urban areas such as this one. Topic. Stormwater-Parking Lot Drainage Number: 112 Created: 10/19/2006 [10/19/06] The current design concentrates the drainage in pans in the parking lot, this will create adverse conditions in the long run, it is recommended that alternate drainage design be used. A meeting is requested whereby alternative design ideas can be discussed with the applicant and the engineer. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: WaterlWW Number: 100 Created: 10/18/2006 [10/18/06] Is a separate irrigation tap planned for the site? Number:101 L Created: .10/18/2006 [10/18/06] For 20 residential units, a 2" water service is typically installed. If there is a preference to use a 1-1/2", please provide sizing calculations for the water service. Keep in mind, however,. that the development fees for multi -family are based upon number of units and lot area rather than the size of water service. Number: 102 Created: 10/18/2006 [10/18/06] Curb stops for the domestic water services must be within an easement. Number:103 Created: 10/18/2006 [10/18/06] Include 6-inch GV in the note at the connection of the fire line to the existing fl- inch water main. Number: 104 Created: 10/18/2006 [10/18/06] Correct the size of the 90-degree bend on the fire line and remove the valve shown downstream from this bend.

Topic. stonnwater- grading Number: 78 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] Please show proposed Northside Aztlan grading, show how this site will tie into the proposed elevations. Provide spot elevations along property boundaries. Topic: stormwater- maintenance Number: 79 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] Since all the flows are directed at the nearby United Way parking lot, a maintenance agreement may be needed between the City and this development regarding the long term maintenance of off -site drainage facilities. Page 5 Number: 76 Created: 10/5/2006 [10/5/06] In order to determine the size of the new transformer(s), the developer will need to coordinate the power requirements for the new buildings with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). Light & Power Development Charges will apply. Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: Air Quality Number: 8 Created: 7/27/2004 [10/19/061 [7/27/04] Prior to occupancy, indoor air quality must be measured properly and in accordance with local, state, and federal health standards to ensure safe public use. Number: 36 Created: 7/28/2004 [10/19/06] [7/28/04] Characterization and proper handling and notification of any contaminated materials encountered during construction must be made to all applicable local, state and federal regulatory agency contacts. Number: 37 Created: 7/28/2004 [10/19/06] [7/28/04) Design and construction of sub -slab venting system for any new construction must be incorporated due to contamination from the former Poudre Valley Gas Company which may trigger unsafe indoor air quality. Topic: General Number: 7 Created: 7/27/2004 [10/19/061 [7/27/04] This project will be needed to provide written statement verifying that the development plan fully complies with environmental regulations. 3.4.1 Natural Habitats and Features (0) Proof of Compliance. (2) If the Director obtains credible information regarding threatened or pending regulatory enforcement action related to an environmental condition of the property to be developed, or an environmental impact related to the development plan, then the Director may require the developer to provide to the city written statements from such governmental agencies as the Director may designate as having related jurisdiction based on the nature of the threatened enforcement action or environmental impact. Said statements shall verify that the development plan fully complies with environmental regulations within the jurisdiction of the writing agency. If the developer, after a diligent effort, is unable to obtain such written verifications from one (1) of more of the designated agencies, the developer shall at least provide to the city a written verification from said agency that the cit 's approval of the development plan will not interfere with a threatened or pending environmental enforcement action of said agency. All required written statements shall be provided to the Director prior to the scheduling of the hearing for the project development plan. Page 4 Number: 94 Created: 10/18/2006 [10/18/06] Willow Street improvements need to be coordinated with Kathleen Bracke. On the Northside Aztlan Community Center, rather than build public improvements along Willow Street, a local street portion was collected at $95 per linear foot. Number: 113 Created: 10/20/2006 [10/20/06] The plans indicate that Pine Street design is to be done by the City at a future date. I'm not sure why this is to be the case. The plans should show a Pine Street design including along the Bas Blau Theater property as evidence that the proposed frontage improvements will tie into both existing and future improvements abutting the theater. Department: Engineering Topic: General Number: 28 Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Created: 7/27/2004 [10/17/06 - mpv] A variance request was received and approved. Please consider this response as the approval, unless a formal response letter is desired. [7/27/04] The driveway off of Willow Street does not meet the driveway spacing requirement for a high volume driveway and a street intersection (175 feet). Need to submit a variance for this with justification and it will be reviewed. Number: 56 Created: 8/2/2004 [10/17/06 - mpv] The alley has been vacated, with a utility easement reserved. As the project proposes building over a portion of the easement, this can only take place if the utility easement portion is vacated. Coordination needs to be done with the utility providers for verification that the utilities can be relocated. [7/27/04] Alley vacation — Per Ordinance No. 106, 2004 recently adopted by City Council I need to receive the following in order to start pursuing the vacation. I need a legal description of the area proposed for vacation in hard copy and electronic format prepared by a licensed surveyor. I can use the map and letter you have already provided for the justification. I don't believe a fee has yet been established for this process. Number: 58 Created: 8/2/2004 [10/18/06 - mpv] Letters of intent from City real estate services are needed as well as Bas Bleu Theater prior to a hearing.. [7/27/04] Prior to being able to schedule this project for hearing letters of intent for off -site easements are needed, all of the easements that will be needed on site and off site need to be shown on the plans, and preliminary street plan and profile design information for Pine St and Willow St per the check sheet requirements need to be provided. Number: 60 Created: 8/2/2004 [10/17/06 - mpv] Please keep in mind for reference that each dedication is subject to a Transportation Development Review Fee of $250. [7/27/04) Are you planning on platting or processing all of the easements by separate document? Department: Light & Power Topic: Electric Utility Issue Contact: Doug Martine Number: 75 Created: 10/5/2006 [10/5/06] The original plan, at the time Bas Bleu was developed, did not have garages at the N.E. comer of the site. There is an underground high voltage power line where these garages are shown. It will be necessary to relocate these lines at the developer's expense. Page 3 Topic: Architectural Elevations Number: 88 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/061 Razor wire would be inappropriate on a 30" high decorative fence in the downtown area. Number. 93 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/061 This project needs to have architectural detailing that draws more from the rich cues of downtown, the Giddings Building and even the new NACC. I'd be happy to discuss this further if you wish. See Section 4.13 (D)(3)(e). Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 109 Created: 10/19/2006 [10/19/06] Tim Buchanan, City Forester comments as follows: "1. Change the species along the west side of the site by the Aztlan center from Fall Gold Ash to Marshall Green Ash. Marshall Ash is used at the Aztlan Center along this entry way, and also Fall Gold is not a durable. 2. Change the row of trees along the north side of the project from Autumn Purple Ash to Bur Oak, Honeyocust or another approved species." Number:110 jp/:�- Created: 10/19/2006 [10/19/06] The four story building on W(f(D!)(3)@(1). Street would only be allowed with a modification of standard for Section 4.1 Please alter design to comply or submit a request for modification letter. Contact me if you need assistance in drafting this letter. Number: 111 Created: 10/19/2006 [10/19/06] Please return redlines when you resubmit. Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 92 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] The site plan of the photometric plot is not the same as the site plan. Please update. There appears to be excessive light spill from the site beyond property lines. Please address. House side shields may be in order. Department: Engineering Topic: General Number: 83 Issue Contact: Marc Virata Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] Realizing that a previous comment noted that the flowline for the head -in parking along Pine should be brought around to the front of the parking stalls, not continue as a pan behind the parking stalls, I'd request that we explore a compromise design where the f-line is brought back to the original design and the parking stalls are done in concrete. With such small areas needing to be done in asphalt and the use of sidewalk culverts in the present design, perhaps there is mutual benefit in looking at this further. Number: 85 Created: 10/17/2006 [10/17/06] Please provide some spot elevations from the Northside Aztlan plan set to confirm that the proposed plan ties into the improvements specified for the approved Northside Aztlan drawings.
