The contact at US West/Qwest is Mr. Bob Rulli, 377-6401. 24. As we have discussed in a previous meeting, using materials and colors that complement the Walgreen's building is highly recommended. 25. The trash enclosure must be sized to accommodate containers for recyclable materials. The Department of Natural Resources has provided a design guideline document that is available on line at hftp://www.fcgov.com/recycling/enclosures.php. For further information, please contact Doug Moore at 221-6750. 26. A Demolition Permit will be required for the existing Sinclair gas station. along the frontage of the property. The City pays for the "oversized portion" of the improvements. The oversized portion is the balance of the sidewalk width, turn lane, and a portion of the travel lane. 17. Any existing sidewalk, curb, or gutter that is damaged or in disrepair must be repaired prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. 18. A Development Agreement will be required prior to recording of the plans. For further information, please contact Susan Joy, Development Review Engineer, 221-6605. When the Development Agreement, Utility Plans, and Planning documents (site plan, landscape plan, architectural elevations and lighting plan) are all signed and recorded, the project is entitled to proceed with construction, subject to the Development Construction Permit. 19. Be sure that parking stalls are a minimum of 9 x 19. Stalls may be reduced to 9 x 17 but only if there is a minimum of two foot overhang. If such overhang is a sidewalk, it must be a minimum of six feet in width. 20. In addition to the access off Drake Road, ingress and egress to the site may be gained via two-way (northbound and southbound) travel on the Frontage Road as per the Agreement between the City and Walgreen's. This will allow traffic to gain access to South College Avenue at the Thunderbird Drive intersection. Please note that the Walgreen's plans indicate a curb bulge -out in the northbound lane of the Frontage Road. This would have to be removed which means work in the public right-of- way. There is a question, at this point, as to whether or not the Frontage Road is CDOT right-of-way, thus requiring a CDOT permit. Engineering staff will contact CDOT regarding this issue. 21. For further information on energy conservation, electrical demand reduction programs and daylighting techniques, please contact Doug Swartz, Energy Service Engineer, City of Fort Collins Utilities, 221-6700. There are several recent high -profile buildings that have been constructed using innovative energy conserving design in collaboration with this program. These include New Belgium Brewery, Fossil Ridge High School, Kinard Junior High School, United Way and Value Plastics. You are encouraged to take advantage of this service. The formal name of the program is "Integrated Design Assistance Program." The program will result in a building that is more energy efficient, environmentally responsible, comfortable and durable than a traditional building. At a highly visible intersection such as College and Drake, such a building would no doubt attract additional interest and business for the tenant, as well as provide significant operational savings on an ongoing basis. 9. The existing mains are as follows: 8-inch water in College, 8-inch water and 18-inch sanitary sewer in Drake. Any service line extended to the site must be used or abandoned at the main. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit. Credit will be given for services in use on the site. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 10. Be sure to provide a direct walkway that connects the main entrance of the building to the public sidewalk. 11. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. To determine the scope of this study and which intersections to analyze, please contact Eric Bracke or Ward Stanford, 221-6630. Keep in mind that if the T.I.S. is reduced in scope for vehicles, it must still address other modes of travel such as pedestrians, bicycles and transit. For further information regarding non - vehicular modes of travel, please contact Kurt Ravenschlag at 416-2643. 12. The Street Oversizing Fee will be based on square footage and trip generation rate of the proposed use. The City also collects the Larimer County Road Impact Fee. Please contact Matt Baker, 970-221-6605, for an estimate of these fees which are payable at the time of building permit issuance. Please note that fees are adjusted annually based on the Denver -Boulder consumer price index and that there may be increases in 2006 independent of the C.P.I. (There is information on the Street Oversizing Fee on the City's web site at www.fcgov.com.) 13. It may be necessary to dedicate any additional public right-of-way for the two public streets. College Avenue requires 70.5 feet of half -width and Drake Road requires 57.5 feet of half -width. In addition, 15-foot wide standard utility easements are needed behind the right-of-way along both streets. 14. The closest parking stalls to Drake will have to meet the setback requirement. This setback is based on the volume of both the street and the parking lot. At the low end, the setback would be required to be 50- feet from the flowline. At the high end, the setback would be 100-feet. This distance is designed to provide sufficient maneuvering area internally so that cars traveling on Drake Road are not impeded. 15. Closing the curb cut on College Avenue will require a permit from CDOT. 16. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, to determine whether or not a repay is due from the developer to the City for the "local street portion" of the public improvements along both streets. The local street portion is 4.5 feet of sidewalk width, curb and gutter and a portion of the travel lane hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 gallons per minute at 20 p.s.i. residual pressure and must be located within 300 feet of the building. The fire lane through the parking lot must be dedicated as an emergency fire access easement with minimum turning radii of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside and must be a minimum of 20 feet wide. The Poudre Fire Authority also reviews and grants the permit for removal of the underground gasoline storage tanks. For further information, please contact Mike Chavez, 221-6570. 5. The site will be served electricity by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department. There are two 4-inch conduits stubbed to the site. Normal electrical charges will apply. There would be a credit for any development charges that have already been paid. Any system modification, such as moving vaults or streetlights will be at the developer's expense. For an estimate of the 2005 charges, please refer to the handout. 6. A Commercial One ("C-1 ") Form must be completed by an electrical contractor to determine entrance capacity for the building. The location of the electrical transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power and Current Planning so that they are not located along the roadway, but, rather, in a less visible location yet within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change -out. Electrical meters should be on the opposite side of the building as the gas meters. A utility coordination meeting is recommended to ensure the proper separation from other utilities. For further information, please contact Rob Irish, 221-6700. 7. This site is in the Spring Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2175.00/acre which is it is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. If the site is already all impervious then no water quantity detention would be required. However, water quality will need to be done to bring the site up to current standards. Typically, an extended detention water quality pond is required, however since this site is already existing we will work with you to find alternative BMP measures that can work on this site. 8. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. A grading plan is required when there is between 1000 and 350 square feet of new imperviousness, but no drainage study. There are no requirements for less than 350 square feet. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. For further information, please contact Basil Harridan, 221-6700. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: Demolition of the Existing Sinclair Gas Station and Construction of a New Retail Building at the Southeast Corner of South College Avenue and Drake Road. MEETING DATE: September 12, 2005 APPLICANT: Mr. John Hardy and Mr. John Hauser, Drake Real Estate Services, 600 17th Street Suite 700 South, Denver, CO 80202. LAND USE DATA: Request to demolish the existing Sinclair gas station at the southeast corner of South College Avenue and Drake Road and build a new 3,600 square foot retail store. COMMENTS: The site is zoned C, Commercial. A retail store is permitted subject to review by the Hearing Officer (Type One Review). 2. The maximum amount of parking is 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. At the proposed 3,600 square feet, the project would be allowed only 14 spaces. The concept plan indicates a total of 30 spaces. A Modification of Standard would be required to be granted by the Hearing Officer to allow the proposed number of spaces. 3. A Modification of Standard may be submitted in advance of the Project Development Plan (P.D.P.) so as to determine the feasibility of the project prior to a formal submittal. This may be a prudent and cost-effective method that precedes the formal submittal which would otherwise be required to meet all the requirements for a P.D.P., including Utility Plans. Please review Section 2.8 of the Land Use Code which describes the process and review criteria for a Modification of Standard. 4. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. The building's address must be clearly visible from either College or Drake. A fire COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. PO.
