Answer: Yes, that is where the detention is proposed to be. Question: Will all the existing Russian Olive trees along Whalers Way be removed? Answer: Yes, they will be. Question: What about signage for the project? Answer: The signage package is not yet finally determined. That is a separate process through the City. Question: What kind of construction time is anticipated? Answer: First MainStreet Bank will hopefully be under construction by August, 2004. It maybe finished by December, 2004 or January, 2005. The bank has a 6 - 7 month construction schedule. Question: How much cut and fill will be needed? Answer: The plans call for pretty much of a balance of cut and fill. Question: Will all trees and shrubs be low water users? Answer: They will be low to moderate water users, with an automatic sprinkler system included. The system will be evaluated by the City against its water conservation requirements. 4 11. Comment: Maybe the size of the complex needs to be scaled down a bit. Response: The larger bank, previously proposed, would generate more traffic than this proposal. The previous plan also had a proposed daycare, which is a large traffic generator. 12. Question: How many offices will be in these office buildings? Answer: There may be 4 separate tenants in Building B. Building C may have 3 - 4 tenants. The parking will also help determine the number of people in the buildings. A total of 139 spaces are being proposed. 13. Comment: We have been told that the people along Whalers Way do not want a street light. along that street. 14. Comment: We will have more traffic in the area and Lemay Avenue will be very hard to get across to get to school. 15. Question: After this development is done how many cars will be on Whalers Way? Answer: Please call the City's Traffic Operations Department for this information. Also, VF Ripley Associates, the applicant's planner, can make a copy of the traffic study for you. 16. Question: Vehicles will use Whalers Way for cut -through traffic at high speeds. Can speed bumps be built up? Answer: They are noisy and harmful to vehicles. The City has discontinued using them. 17. Question: Can the landscaping be done strategically to provide good buffering to homes to the east? Answer: The landscape plan for the development proposal does provide for good buffering; however, VF Ripley Associates can continue to work with neighbors on this. 18. Question: What about lighting in the parking lot? Answer: Lights must be designed to provide cut-offs, be down - directional, and allow no spillage. 3 3. Question: Will you do all the infrastructure and landscaping for the site? Answer: First MainStreet Bank will do all of the general improvements to the entire site with development of its building. 4. Question: How much change to the buildings can occur after approval? Answer: Some minor changes to the architecture can occur, maybe requiring a minor amendment that would be submitted to the City for review. 5. Question: Can the uses change, say to a restaurant, after approval? Answer: Not without additional City review and approval. 6. Question: I am very concerned about the additional traffic to be generated on Boardwalk Drive and Whalers Way. What efforts can be made to reduce the traffic? Answer: We can do studies of existing traffic with projected traffic from development. 7. Comment: This project will increase the traffic in the area by 10% or less. 8. Question: How can we get a copy of the Traffic Study? Answer: Please call Traffic Operations. They can provide you with a study. 9. Comment: Practically speaking, people leaving this development will have to turn north onto Boardwalk Drive. Response: This will become 3-lane traffic on Boardwalk Drive. 10. Comment: Right now it is almost impossible to make a left, southbound, turn from Whalers Way onto Boardwalk Drive at rush hour. Response: Signals do degrade roadways. They are used as a last result. 04, CommL .ty Planning and Environmental rvices Current Planning City of Fort Collins PROJECT: DATE: APPLICANT & CONSULTANT: NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING First MainStreet Bank @ Northeast Corner of East Harmony Road and Boardwalk Drive April 12, 2004 VF Ripley Associates c/o Cathy Mathis CITY PLANNER: Steve Olt The applicants are proposing a 11,300 square foot bank building and 34,600 square feet of office uses (users undetermined) in 2 other buildings on about 6.0 acres located at the northeast corner of East Harmony Road and Boardwalk Drive.
