HomeMy WebLinkAboutECKERD DRUG, COLLEGE & DRAKE - PDP/FDP - 25-03 - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONS (3)The alternative compliance letter shall be provided with the resubmittal. Number: 4 Created: 8/6/2003 The landscape buffer along the east lot line adjacent to the residential is not adequate screening. Per Sec. 3.2. 1 (E)(4)(a) of the LUC, a 6' high fence or wall is required in addition to the plantings. There is an existing 5' to 6' high concrete wall that will remain with this development. The plantings shall be adjusted. Number: 5 Created: 8/6/2003 A minimum 5' wide landscape strip is required along the east side of the parking lot adjacent to the existing commercial at the north end per 3.2.2(J) and 3.2. 1 (E)(4)(a). A 5' wide grass strip has been provided. Number: 6 Created: 8/6/2003 A tree needs to be planted in the "turf' island at the west end of the parking row directly on the south side of the building. A proposed fire hydrant is located in the parking island. Separation requirements from utilities prevent the planting of a tree in the island. Number: 7 Created: 8/6/2003 The north arrow on the landscape plan is pointing east instead of north. North arrow adjusted. Number: 8 Created: 8/6/2003 landscape note # 10 needs to be changed from "the valuation of the materials" to the "valuation of the materials and labor". Note changed. Number: 9 Created: 8/6/2003 The west lot line appears to be on the west side of the frontage road, or does the frontage road end south of the building? If it does end, are they going to dedicate frontage road ROW to extend the frontage road? The frontage road ROW ends south of the building and the property lines shall remain the same. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Page 8 Easement shall be provided by separate document. See Engineering plans. Topic. Utility Plans Number: 18 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Cut a 6-inch by 6-inch tee or wye into the existing sanitary sewer main for the proposed service connection. See Engineering plans. Number: 19 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Use a tapping saddle on the existing water main for the proposed fire hydrant connection. See Engineering plans. Number: 20 Created: 8/ 19/2003 There are several sanitary sewer services which exist on this site. Some field investigation is required to determine the number of services and the location of each. All existing water and sewer services must be used or abandoned at the main. Clearly define all aspects of the sanitary sewer abandonment's. See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. When found, sanitary sewer services will be abandoned properly. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic. zoning Number: 1 Created: 8/6/2003 It's not clear to me if this project includes the Moot House. Their Land Use Data includes the Moot House in their Floor Area calculation. If the Moot House is part of this PDP, then the "proposed land use" on the site plan needs to be changed from "retail drug store" to "retail store and standard restaurant". It would appear that it is part of the PDP since a new trash enclosure is proposed and the parking seems to take the restaurant into account. If the Moot House isn't part of it, then correct the floor area to include just the retail building and change the proposed land use to "retail store". There is no such defined use as a "retail drug store" in our Code. The Moot House floor area has been included and the proposed land use has been revised. Number: 2 Created: 8/6/2003 Need to dimension the building envelope or footprint, and show distances to lot lines. Dimensions have been added. Number: 3 Created: 8/6/2003 The site plan indicates that a letter was provided regarding the shared parking/alternative compliance. The only letter in my packet was the statement of planning objectives. If that's the letter they're refering to, it's not adequate to make their alternative compliance case under 3.2.2(K)(3). A more detailed explanation is necessary. The square footage of the Moot House needs to be provided in order to accurately analyze the shared parking/alternative compliance proposal. Without the square footage, we can't really determine how many spaces would normally be allowed. Page 7 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff Topic. Transportation Number: 37 Created: 8/20/2003 The existing attached sidewalks along Thunderbird Drive and the College Ave. frontage road are an acceptable alternative to the City's detached standard sidewalk, as long as they are 6 feet in width with ADA accessible crossings of the driveways. Please see attached letter to Ted Shepard from Bob McDonaugh dated 9/19/03. Number: 38 Created: 8/20/2003 It appears that the turning radius from the shared northern driveway off of College Ave. is too tight to accommodate most turning vehicles without entering into the opposing traffic lane. What alternative designs for this driveway have been explored? The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Number: 43 Created: 8/20/2003 The sidewalk along the north side of the bldg. is required to be a minimum of 6 feet in width where cars are allowed to overhang by 2 feet to ensure a 4-foot minimum clear space. The parking angle has been changed to 30 degree parking to accommodate the 6' sidewalk width. Number: 45 Created: 8/21 /2003 A meeting with CDOT, Engineering, Traffic and Transportation Planning is highly recommended to discuss circulation within the site as well as to and from the surrounding streets. All parties have been discussing the circulation Number: 46 Created: 8/21 /2003 The walkway in front of the State Farm Insurance building will need to be connected to the Drake sidewalk system. The existing walk and concrete to the north shall remain and a crosswalk shall be painted. Number: 47 Created: 8/21 /2003 Has the option of relocating the drive-thru facility to the east side of the building been explored? This would facilitate a safer circualtion pattern for customers and create less of an impact on College Ave. The option has been explored. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic. Easements Number: 17 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Provide a 15 foot utility easement along the east property for the existing sanitary sewer main. Provide a copy of the offsite easements needed to construct the proposed sanitary sewer service as well as the abandonment of the existing services. Page 6 August 1, 2003 Plan is OK. Thank you. Topic. Grading Plan Number: 13 Created: 8/ 18/2003 The plan seems to create a low area in the front of the building, please correct as per redlines to ensure that a minimum .5% grade is maintained. There is no curb cut to allow drainage from the west side of the north parking lot entrance to get into the water quality pond. Also, elevations along that entrance suggest that this area will not drain well, as the called out elevations are the same at both ends of that entrance. The proposed grades along the south side entrance into the parking lot may allow water to drain freely into Thunderbird Drive without routing water through the proposed sidewalk drain. Please correct or clarify. The landscaped area on the east side of the parking lot will drain onto the existing wall and fence. This could create problems especially when the landscaping in that area is watered. It is suggested that a trench drain system be designed at the bottom of that area to capture any runoff that would otherwise be trapped. Please provide some erosion control fabric or concrete protection at the points of infall from the parking lot into the water quality pond. A curb cut is provided at the southwest corner of the north parking lot for drainage into the water quality pond. A portion of the frontage road is being re -graded to accommodate drainage. A perforated pipe is being added along the existing wall to allow for drainage. Erosion control fabric will be used along the water quality pond. Topic. Site Plan Number: 16 Created: 8/ 19/2003 The contour elevations shown for the water quality pond on the site plan do not agree with the ones shown on the grading plan. Please revise and correct. Grading plan and site plan shall be coordinated Department: Traffic Operations Issue Contact: Ward Stanford Topic. Traffic Dept Number: 54 Created: 8/26/2003 The north access this project is planning to utilize for the exit of its drive thru, is planned by the Traffic Dept. to be closed with the redevelopment of the property to the north. This project needs to provide for its drive thru and parking traffic to exit back to Thunderbird or Drake. Per the August 26, 2003 meeting, traffic is being redirected from the drive -through onto the frontage road. The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Number: 55 Created: 8/26/2003 The frontage rd in this area only serves the property south of this project. Since all properties in this area could be served from Thunderbird, the Traffic Dept would like to close this leg of the frontage road. The frontage road shall remain open to serve the Eckerd site and the Moot House Page 5 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 Fire hydrants will be located properly. Number: 53 Created: 8/25/2003 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 Repeat comment Department: Police Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom Topic: Transportation Number: 44 Created: 8/20/2003 Would suggest some modifications to luminaires along east property line to reduce FC values on adjacent properties. Luminaires have been adjusted in accordance with the comments and standards. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic. Drainage design Number: 11 Created: 8/ 14/2003 The proposed design allows a good portion of the site to drain directly out of the parking area and into existing streets with no water quality treatment. The City understands that this is an infill site and that not all the requirements can be met, however the plans as presently designed do not make a serious attempt at meeting these criteria. It is recommended that something be done to treat the drainage going out through the south side of the site, if no water quality pond can be designed there due to the lack of a storm sewer system nearby, then maybe a swale or another treatment option can be explored. There is an existing monitoring well in the proposed water quality pond area. Show that well on the grading plan. Please discuss/clarify how will the grading of the water quality pond affect that exising well. Drainage going to the south side of the site is going through a grass swale at the southeast corner. We are currently exploring the moving of the monitoring well out of the water quality pond. Topic. Easements Number: 21 Created: 8/ 19/2003 The water quality pond should be placed within a drainage easement, if the site is not being replatted this should be done by separate document. Easements shall be dedicated by separate document. Topic: Erosion Control Number: 12 Page 4 Created: 8/ 18/2003 Number: 36 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Please see the redlines and the utility plan checklist for any additional comments. Comments have been addressed Number: 49 Created: 8/22/2003 Due to the increase in traffic at both Thunderbird and the driveway access onto College, new/revised access permits will be needed from CDOT. The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Permits will not be necessary. Number: 50 Created: 8/22/2003 Is there an existing cross -access easement or agreement with the gas station regarding the sharing of the driveway onto College? The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Topic. TIS Number: 25 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Please revise the TIS to include the access onto College that is shared with the gas station. The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 33 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Driveways should be concrete to the ROW/Property line. Comment addressed. Number: 34 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Please use the standard details from the latest version of LCUASS. See Engineering plans. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Topic: General Number: 51 Created: 8/25/2003 ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of 6 inch numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 1997 UFC 901.4.4 NOTE: An addressing scheme shall be submitted to the fire department for approval prior to being posted on the building. Addressing will be submitted to the fire department. Number: 52 Created: 8/25/2003 WATER SUPPLY: Commercial No commercial building can be greater then 300 feet from a fire hydrant. Page 3 through each, in which case, please use the radius -style driveways here as well. Please label the radii and ensure that they match the standard values. Radius -style driveways shall be used and labeled. Number: 26 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Due to the proximity of the frontage road intersection with Thunderbird to the College intersection with Thunderbird, it is strongly suggested that the frontage road access to Thunderbird be removed. If the closing does not occur with this project, please note on the plans that it may happen in the future. If the closing occurs with this project, then the parking setbacks from the frontage road will no longer be needed. Per our meeting on August 26, 2003 with Cam McNair, Ted Shepard, Ward Stanford and other City officials, the frontage road shall remain open and access onto College from the Eckerd site shall be eliminated. A variance request for the parking setback from the frontage road is being provided with this resubmittal. Number: 27 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Please provide extra sidewalk width to provide at least 6' where the walks are currently attached. Please see attached letter to Ted Shepard from Bob McDonaugh dated 9/19/03. Number: 28 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Will the existing stacking for SB left turns from College to Thunderbird be adequate for the new traffic volumes? Will a waiver for this be required from CDOT? Please see the Traffic Study. Stacking distance is adequate and no waiver will be required from CDOT. Number: 29 Created: 8/ 19/2003 Please minimize (if not fully eliminate) the amount of vehicles from this site using the access onto College. This could be helped by moving the drive -through lane from the north side of the building to the east side of the building. The access onto College from the Eckerd site has been eliminated. Number: 30 Created: 8/ 19/2003 The driveway cut onto Drake does not meet the minimum separation distances both from the adjacent driveways and from the nearest streets (the required distance is 460'). Please explore consolidation of the driveways on Drake to share access with adjacent properties. The TIS says that the driveways will be consolidated (page 8 under paragraph III). Per the August 26, 2003 meeting, the driveways shall not be consolidated. A variance request is being submitted on the separation distances. Number: 35 Created: 8/ 19/2003 With the number of easements and ROW dedications needed, it might be beneficial to replat the property rather than file each dedication by separate document. Easements are being dedicated by separate document. Right-of-way dedication is not necessary. Page 2 City of Fort Collins BHA DESIGN SCOTT SINN 4803 INNOVATION DR. FT. COLLINS, CO 80525 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Comment Response: October 13, 2003 Date: 8/26/2003 Staff has reviewed your submittal for ECKERD DRUG PDP - COLLEGE & DRAKE - TYPE II (LUC), and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Katie Moore Topic: Drainage design Number: 31 Created: 8/19/2003 How much water is flowing from the parking lot west over the public sidewalks to the frontage road? Less than 500 sf is draining over the sidewalk. See Grading Plan. Number: 32 Created: 8/19/2003 Please provide a minimum of T of additional plate beyond the back of walk covering the under -walk drains. See revised detail on Sheet 7 of the engineering drawings. Topic. General Number: 22 Created: 8/19/2003 Please dedicate Right of Way to standard on Drake (51' from centerline, constrained arterial) and on College Avenue (70.5' from centerline plus 2-12' tum lanes, minus 6' because there is no bike lane on College= 88.5' from centerline of College). Please dedicate utility easements to standard (15' along Drake and College, 9' along Thunderbird). With this ROW dedication on College, it also eliminates the requirement for a turnaround at the end of the dead-end frontage road (LUC 3.6.2 Q. One item that might be of concern regarding ROW and easement dedications in the vicinity of the gas station is that the property dedicated needs to meet environmental standards, so if there is any contamination of the soil, then some sort of clean up would be needed prior to City acceptance of the ROW and/or easement dedication. Right-of-way and easement dedications are being provided by separate document. Number: 23 Created: 8/19/2003 Parking does not meet the parking setback requirements under LCUASS Figure 19-6. The setback from Drake should be 75 feet, while the setbacks along the frontage road and Thunderbird should be 50' from the flowline of the road to the edge of the first parking stall. See variance request Number: 24 Created: 8/19/2003 Please use radius -style driveways on arterials (Drake and College). Please use standard driveway cuts on all other streets (frontage road and Thunderbird) unless there are 350+ trips Page 1
