Landscape Architect October 07, 2005 Planning Dept. Case Manager, Ted Shepard 281 N. College Ave. Fort Collins, Colorado RE: Drake Shops — Modification of Standards Thank you for your time and assistance in regards to this submittal. The current standards regarding Parking: Use: Maximum Parking: Proposed Bldg.= 3,508 G.S.F. General Retail 4 stalls / 1000 g.s.f. 14 stalls (max.) Restaurant (Standard) 10 stalls / 1000 g.s.f. 35 stalls (max.) Request: We are formally requesting a modification of standards, Fort Collins Land Use Code, Division 2.8. Based on our proposed building of 3,508 gross square feet, with the Use Classification of "General Retail", our maximum allowed parking is 14 stalls. The required bicycle parking is 5% of the total vehicular parking. Differences: We are requesting additional parking of 15 vehicular stalls, for a total of 27 vehicles plus 2 handicap accessible stalls. Benefits to the Commercial Environment and the City of Fort Collins: Our intentions are to remove an existing and abandoned gas station and replace it with a new commercial building that will be in harmony with the existing urban environment. The "Shops" could include a mix of retail and restaurant tenants. This project allows for the opportunity to bring a vibrant and rewarding experience to the public while providing much needed "services and goods" to the area as well as employment opportunities and future revenues to the City. This site is located a the intersection of South College Avenue and East Drake Road and is surrounded by a variety of commercial ventures. Directly to the South of our site, is Walgreen's Drug Store. The proposed building will be approximately 3,500 square feet, single story building, incorporating a medium bronze storefront system, architectural concrete block and brick construction on a 21,344 square foot site. The use of exterior canopies and other architectural features will be incorporated with the site design and landscaping materials to create "four sided architecture" that relates to a pedestrian scaled shopping / dining environment. Architectural considerations regarding the design of our proposed commercial building includes a raised parapet, ranging from 5-0" to 9'-0" above the roof deck, in order to conceal future roof top equipment. The sanitary sewer line from our building will be designed in a manner to accommodate a grease interceptor with -in our parking lot, without further obstructing traffic on East Drake Road. Other considerations to create a project that benefits the surrounding environment includes the Landscape Architecture. Below is a summary, provided by our Landscape Architect, that details out the Landscape Standards, and how we exceed these standards.
