HomeMy WebLinkAboutFIRST MAINSTREET BANK - FDP - 37-03A - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONS5, The center turn lane in Boardwalk Drive should be continuous, even
as it crosses the access into this development site. Please check with
Ward Stanford of Traffic Operations to verify that this is correct.
6. A variance request must be submitted for the proposed access into
this site from Boardwalk Drive.
Stormwater:
1. The applicants have done what's been asked for by Stormwater.
Water/Wastewater:
1. The labeling of the water mains are not all correct.
2. Show the water and sanitary sewer mains on the Landscape Plan so
that adequate separation from the landscaping can be verified.
3. The subdivision plat is not real clear on the easement definitions.
Better, clearer information is needed.
4. The development plans indicate 4" fire lines to be used. The
standard may be 6" lines. Please check with the Poudre Fire Authority
for their requirement.
Contact Ron Gonzales, at416-2864, or Mike Chavez, at 416-2869, for this
information.
Current Planning:
1. Len Hilderbrand of Xcel Energy indicated that gas service to the
bank may be able to connect to the gas main in Boardwalk Drive instead
of the main in East Harmony Road (this will depend on the actual
location of the gas main).
Please re -submit the number of revised copies of each document (to the
Current Planning Department) as shown on the attached Revision Routing
Sheet. Another formal round of staff review, with another staff review
( meeting, is not required. The issues may be resolved through direct
contact with the appropriate City departments before mylars will be
asked for. Be sure and return all of the red-Iined plans when you re-
submit any revised documents.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues
related to this
project, please feel free to call me at 221-6341.

(7/14/041 I assume that all of the "dashed" boxes shown on Buildings A
& B are supposed to indicate wall sign locations. If so, a note to that
on the plan would be nice. Also, there still are no wall sign locations
shown on Building C. Since it is not known at this time whether Building C will be
constructed as indicated, we have placed a note on the elevation sheet indicating that
wall -mounted signage will be addressed prior to a building permit being issued. (see _
elevation sheet). The existing Veldman-Morgan building across the street does not have
any wall -mounted signage.
[4/5/04] The applicant has indicated that the sign locations are shown
on the latest submittal. However, I only see them shown on Bldg. A.
Does that. mean that Bldg's B & C are to have no wall signs?
(11/12/03) This property is in the residential neighborhood sign
district, wherein only 1 sign per exterior wall is allowed. They must
indicate on the elevation drawings where the probable wall sign
locations will be. For their information, individual letter wall
signs are limited to a maximum height of 12" „ logos and cabinet wall
signs are limited to a maximum height of 18". Monument signs are
limited to 32 sf per side, 5' maximum height..
The following comments were expressed at City staff review on August 4,
2004:
Engineering:
1. The sidewalk along Boardwalk Drive must be in an access & transit
easement or in the street right-of-way.
2. The location of the handicapped access ramp at the intersection of
Boardwalk Drive & East Harmony Road is awkward as it relates to the
painted crosswalks.
3. The handicapped access ramp at the intersection of Boardwalk Drive &
Whalers Way should be more directional.
4. Remove the sight distance "stuff" from the Striping Plan.
[8/6/04] The Landscape Plan does not reflect the latest storm sewer
locations and alignments. Please show updated storm sewer design on the
landscape plan in ghosted line weight. Please ensure minimum separation
between storm sewers and trees are adhered to (min. of 10 feet). The
landscape plan now shows the current storm pipe alignments. The centers of the trees
are greater than 10 feet from the storm sewer lines.

1. The surety calculation is still incorrect. For areas greater than 5
acres, the cost to reseed/mulch is $725/acre, you use $665. Changed.
2. If the detention area is to be landscaped, outlet protection should
remain (or be placed) on the outlet pipe until this work is completed.
This should be indicated by a note on the plan. Added.
3. The existing swale/ditch along the north property line carries
stormwater runoff. What is going to be done to protect downstream areas

street constructions on Boardwalk Drive and Whalers Way

[8/3/04] SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS:
These proposed buildings shall be fire sprinklered.
[11/24/03] The access drive out ,to Boardwalk Drive is a variance to the
LCUASS, Chapter 7 with regards to its separation from Whalers Way as
well as offset from the driveway into the apartments across the street.
A variance request is required from the consultant's design or traffic
engineer. Of particular concern in my opinion is the center turn lane
being shared between the Bank's entrance off of Boardwalk Drive and
the apartments across the street. With about only 40' of separation
between the drives and Boardwalk Drive, an arterial street, isn't there
a possibility that the proposed striping design will result in
movements for northbound into the apartments and southbound into the
bank wanting to both utilize this center turn lane at the same
time? I'd like for the TIS or the design engineer to address this
concern as I feel it's unsafe.

[8/3/04] No variance request was apparently submitted. Included with this
submittal.
(4/13/041 While the traffic study discusses the striping design, a
variance request is still required for not meeting the driveway
separation requirements.
(8/3/04) The right-of-way dedication has not changed from the previous
submittal. With the sidewalk now being shown outside of right-of-way,
either additional right-of-way should be dedicated or the sidewalk
needs to be within an access and transit easement. Easement added and
labeled.
[4/13/041 The right-of-way dedicated includes the right turn lane for
the site'as part of the 56' , again the right-of-way dedication of 56'
should be exclusive of the developer's right -turn lane. Ensure the
sidewalk is then placed along the back of this right-of-way.
[11/24/03] The Transportation Impact Study (TIS) indicates that all the
curbs at the Harmony Road and Boardwalk Drive intersection are at
"finished" locations. The current street width would need to change in
order to allow for future double lefts; the Bank One project across the
street dedicated additional right-of-way to allow for this future
widening. Please ensure 56' of right-of-way is provided from the
existing street centerline of Boardwalk Drive; this width is exclusive
of the developer's right turn lane which is additional right-of-way
