HomeMy WebLinkAboutRAISING CANE'S - PDP - 6-04 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)r separation from Enterprise. Joint access with Enterprise may not be as difficult since the grade change becomes less severe closer to College Avenue. 14. There is a requirement that the first parking stall be set back from the College Avenue flowline by as much as 100 feet. This is to prevent any disruption in through traffic on the roadway while cars are maneuvering in the parking lot. This distance could possibly be reduced depending on volume on the roadway and would require an analysis that would be part of the Transportation Impact Study. Any reduction from the standard must be approved as an administrative variance granted by the City Engineer. Please contact Marc Virata, 221-6605 for further information. 15. The design of the new curb, gutter and sidewalk on College Avenue may need to extend beyond the limits of the property in _order to evaluate the impact on the abutting properties. The walk must be at least seven feet wide and the parkway at least ten feet wide. 16. Utility Plans are required as part of the submittal for a Project Development Plan. A Development Agreement will be required between the developer and the City for the construction and inspection of public improvements. A Development Construction Permit and Fee is required prior to beginning work on the site. For further information regarding civil engineering issues, please contact Marc Virata, 221-6605. 17. A plat will be required. The plat will need to show a dedication of public right-of-way so that there is 70.5 feet from property line to the centerline of College Avenue. Behind the right-of-way, there will need to be a 15-foot wide utility easement. 18. Improvements to College Avenue include minimum two-inch caliper deciduous shade trees planted at 30 to 35 foot intervals located in the parkway between sidewalk and curb. 19. The corporate prototype architecture will have to be toned down in order to comply with Section 3.5 of the Land Use Code. In particular, the large mural may be questionable and warrants further discussion. Outdoor patio dining is highly encouraged. 20. The adjacent residential area may have to be protected from headlight glare, noise from equipment, security lighting, etc. by landscaping and screening that exceeds the minimum requirements of the Land Use Code. Parking lot security lights may have to be equipped with "house side shields" to prevent illumination from spilling into the residential area. 21. A neighborhood meeting with the residents of the adjacent condominiums and owners of the offices and rental car company will be required. 22. The size of the trash enclosure should be enlarged to include space for containers for recyclable materials. The use of irrigated turf is discouraged. Native plants and grasses are encouraged. For a list of drought -tolerant species, please contact either Doug Moore at 221-6750 or Laurie D'Audney at 221-6700. addition to the tap fees, there is the Raw Water Acquisition Fee. All fees are due at the time of building permit issuance. For an estimate of these fees, please contact Mary Young. For further information regarding water and sewer issues, please contact Jeff Hill. Both are available at 221-6700. 8. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. A fire hydrant must be within 300 feet of the building capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 gallons per minute at 20 p.s.i. Access to buildings must such that no portion of the building can be more than 150 feet from where the fire truck sets up. If there are internal fire access lanes, then these lanes must feature no less than 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside turning radii. Designated fire lanes must feature curbs painted red and "No Parking — Fire Lane" signs. Addresses must be no less than six inches in height and visible from South College Avenue. The hood and vent system must meet the Uniform Building Code and Larimer County Health Department. If the exterior features of the hood and vent system must be screened from view. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570.- 9. The Street Oversizing Fee will be $25.07 per square foot of building and payable at the time of building permit issuance. Keep in mind all City fees are adjusted annually. In addition, the City collects the Larimer County Road Fee. There is information on the City's web site explaining the Street Oversizing Program. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, for additional detail regarding this fee. 10. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. Please contact Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to determine the scope of the study and the number of intersections that need to be analyzed. All modes of travel (bikes, pedestrians and transit) must be addressed in the Study. 11. Staff supports the incorporation of Tract Two into the Project Development Plan (P.D.P.) .in order to facilitate both water quality extended detention and bicycle pedestrian access to Remington Street. If there is to be vehicle access out to Remington, then such access should be analyzed in the Transportation Impact Study. 12. The Capital Improvement Expansion Fee is .53 cents per square foot, payable at the time of building permit. For an accurate estimate of this fee, please contact the Building Inspection Division, 221-6760. Please note fees are adjusted annually. 13. The applicant should be aware that Highway 287 is under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Transportation. As such, access is controlled by CDOT and their policy is to consolidate extraneous curb cuts and driveways on the state highway system. The City works very closely with CDOT on administration of the State Highway Access Code. After meeting with CDOT on July 17, 2003, the City will require that southerly of the two curb cuts be restricted to one-way right -in only travel. This would allows the parking stalls be diagonal. The northerly curb cut must be restricted to one-way right -out only and should be consolidated with Enterprise Rental Car. If it is not possible to consolidate, then the northerly curb cut should be shifted as far south as feasible to gain for emergency change -out and screened for aesthetic purposes, if visible from a public street. 4. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor to determine entrance capacity. Normal electrical development fees and charges will apply. Any change to the existing electrical system or facilities will'be at the developer's expense. With frontage along a public street, shade trees will be required in the parkway between sidewalk and curb. Street trees must be kept 40 feet from streetlights and ornamentals must be kept 15 feet from streetlights where applicable. For further information, please contact Judy Dahlgren, 221-6700. 5. This site is in the Spring Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2,175/acre which is applicable only to the amount of new impervious surface. Existing impervious surface is grandfathered-in. Extended stormwater detention, however, is required to treat the runoff prior to release into the approved outfall system. The outfall would be Remington Street. Stormwater is not allowed to drain onto College Avenue or into the Arthur Ditch. The design engineer will need to document the existing imperviousness and the drainage outfall points. If the site drains to the Arthur irrigation ditch, which is no longer allowed, an outfall to a City Right Of Way or drainage easement is required. There is a storm sewer in College Avenue which can be used as an out fall. This storm sewer will need to be verified since the inventory map 8K shows it draining into the Arthur ditch but other information has indicated it drains to Spring Creek. The standard drainage and erosion control reports are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. For further information regarding design of the stormwater system, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. Since the property does have a small portion of the Arthur ditch on it, The ditch company will need to approve the construction plans. The Arthur Irrigation Company superintendent is Bob Hartung (970) 493-4575, the president is Calvin Johnson (970) 223-5148. 6. The site will continue to be served by the City of Fort Collins Water and Wastewater Utility. Regarding the sanitary sewer, there is a possibility that Mister Money was served by an old septic system. The restaurant must hook up to the existing six-inch diameter sanitary sewer in Dartmouth. A grease and oil interceptor is required. 7. Regarding the water service, the existing water service could be a small as three-quarters diameter and would not be sufficient to serve the proposed use. A new water service must be tapped at the main and the old one must be abandoned at the main. The water main is in College Avenue. A street cut permit and fee are required from the City and Utility Permit is required from Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) which has jurisdiction over State Highway 287. The water meter pit must be located outside the building. The existing services would be credited towards the Plant Investment Fees. In CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS of Fort Collins ITEM: Raising Cane's Drive -Through Restaurant 2104 South College Avenue MEETING DATE: July 14, 2003 APPLICANT: Mr. Brad Sanders and Mr. Joshua Demoruelle, Raising Cane's, 1212 S. Acadian Thruway, Baton Rouge, LA, 70806. LAND USE DATA: Request. for 3,533 square foot drive -through restaurant at 2104 South College Avenue (formerly Mister Money). The lot (Tract One) is approximately one-half acre in size. Tract Two is 18,040 square feet in size and may or may not be incorporated into the Project Development Plan. The site is located on the east side of South College Avenue, between Rutgers and Spring Park Drive, just south of Enterprise Rental Car. COMMENTS: 1.. The site is zoned C, Commercial. The land use is permitted, subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board. In preparing the site layout, please be aware that there is a maximum of 15 parking spaces allowed per 1,000 square feet of building area which would allow up to 52 parking stalls. Also, the building must meet the "build -to line" standard along an arterial street and must not be placed more than 25 in back of the front property line. The parking lot must feature no less than 6% interior landscaping in the form of islands. There must be a landscape island for every 15 consecutive parking spaces. The trash enclosure must be made of materials that match the building. The menu board sign is deducted from the overall signage allowance. All signs are governed by the Sign Code and are reviewed and permitted separately from the P.D.P. The mural would come out of the signage allowance. 2. It appears the property is not part of an approved subdivision plat. In order to pull a building permit, the property would need to be platted as part of an approved subdivision. All dedications for right-of-way and for access, utility and drainage easements can be dedicated by plat. 3. The source of electrical power is an existing overhead power line. This line will have to be placed underground and placed within an easement. Three-phase power is available in the southeast corner of the site. The location of the transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power. Transformers must be both accessible (within ten feet) to hard surface COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N.
