HomeMy WebLinkAboutBANK OF COLORADO - PDP - 16-03 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEWstreet. The developer would be eligible for repays for any improvement above and
beyond the local street standard. Improvements along Lincoln should be designed to
match and tie into the improvements that were done for Buffalo Run Apartments. Please
note that the Street Oversizing Fund does not reimburse for short term interim
improvements. If interim improvements are deemed not be necessary, then cash in lieu
for ultimate improvements may be needed instead.
18. Utility Plans will be needed at the time of submittal. A Development Agreement will be
required prior to recording final documents. A Development Construction Permit will be
required prior to beginning site work. For further information, please contact Sheri
Wamhoff, 221-6605.
19. For the larger surrounding context, please be aware that two existing local streets, Duff
and Webster, will need to be extended from the east to serve the 14 acre vacant area to
the north of the subject site. For further information regarding Transportation Planning
issues, please feel free to call Tom Reiff, 221-6608.
20. Please be aware of the pending East Mulberry Corridor Plan. There are long range plans
to re -align Lincoln and to extend Buckingham to the east. There is also some discussion
of down -zoning the property to L-M-N. The contact person is Pete Wray, 221-6376.
21. The Department of Natural Resources will require an Ecological Characterization Study.
This study should establish the boundaries of the wetlands and identify the existing trees.
In addition, the study should address the Limits of Development and establish the buffer
areas as called for in the Land Use Code. Native plants and grasses should be used in the
buffer zones. 221 _ WO �o _.6 I&K.E
22. The City Forester should be consulted to evaluate the existing trees. If any trees are
found to be significant, then they should be preserved. Where trees cannot be preserved
they must be mitigated according to the Land Use Code. For further information, please
contact Tim Buchanan, 221-6361.
23. The construction phase will require a Fugitive Dust Permit from the Larimer County
Health Department. Also, trash enclosures should be sized to accommodate various
containers for recycling. A single trash hauler should be used. For further information
on natural resource issues, please contact Doug Moore, 221-6750.
24. For an estimate of the Capital Improvement Expansion Fee, payable at the time of
building permit, please contact the Building Inspection Division, 221-6760. This fee is
adjusted annually.

information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570. rlu�
9. The Street Oversizing Fee will be $11.03 per square foot for a bank with drive -through �v
facilities. The fee for the retail building is $6.24 per square foot and payable at the time/
of building permit issuance. Keep in mind fees are adjusted annually. In addition, the
City collects the Larimer County Road Fee.
10. A Transportation Impact Study will be required which will address all modes. Check
with Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to determine the scope of the study. Keep in mind that the
intersection of North Lemay and East Vine is approaching capacity and there are issues
with complying with the Adequate Public Facilities standard. Even though the long
range plan is to re -align Lemay to the east, interim improvements to this intersection may,
be needed in the short range. If it is determined that there is no available capacity at this
intersection, the applicant can participate in improvements or wait until the improvements
are completed by others.
11. The City is considering placing a funding source question before the voters this
November for transportation improvements. If passed, the Lemay/Vine intersection
would become eligible for improvements.
12. The developer is responsible for the repair of any damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter
along the public streets that front the project.

13. Lincoln has new section of pavement as a result of Buffalo Run Apartments. Please be
aware that any street cuts along Lincoln are subject to street cut fees based on the
condition of the asphalt. For further information, please contact Rick Richter, 221-6605.
14. Please be cautioned that any construction activity off -site will require an easement from
the property owner.
15. Additional right-of-way and easement may be needed along both Lincoln and Lemay. In
the case of Lemay, the right-of-way amount will be based on short term conditions. In
the long term, right-of-way for the Lemay Bypass will be required if the property has any
frontage along the future bypass. Such dedication may include additional land for slope
easements.
16. Local streets should intersect with the two abutting arterials every 660 feet. Exceptions
may be necessary for the future re -aligned Lemay Bypass. A variance would be
processed by the Engineering Department. It is likely that the driveway cut on Lemay
will be restricted to right-in/right-out turning movements. The offset in driveway cuts on
both sides of Lemay may not be allowed unless protected from left turns by a raised
n�an.
17. If the developer chooses to move forward ahead of the Lemay Bypass project, then the
improvements along Lemay would consist of sidewalk, curb, gutter, and one-half the
4
available power to serve the site. The number and location of the transformers must be
coordinated with Light and Power. Transformers must be both accessible (within ten feet)
to hard surface for emergency change -out and screened for aesthetic purposes, if visible
from a public street. Meters should be screened as well. Any modification to the existing
system would be at the developer's expense. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form must be
completed by a licensed electrical contractor. Please refer to the hand-out describing the
development fees and charges. Street trees in the parkway strip must be kept 40 feet
from streetlights. Ornamental trees must be kept 15 feet from streetlights. For further
information, please contact Rob Irish, 221-6700.
4. This site is in the Dry Creek drainage basin where the new development fees are
$5,000/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The standard drainage
and erosion control reports and construction plans are required and they must be prepared
by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. The primary issue is the site drains
into the ditch along Lincoln which is presently undersized and frequently floods
properties to the east in the County. Rex Burns with the County has stated that no
increase in runoff is allowed in the Lincoln Street ditch. One alternative that has been
discussed is temporary retention with a release into the ditch after the ditch drains down.
Another issue is a pipe along Lemay that is a 10" PVC pipe which needs to be up sized to
at least the size installed by the Wal-Mart project. The site is on Stormwater inventory
map #10G. A copy can be obtained from the Utility Service Center at 700 Wood Street.
There is an offsite flow from the west that overtops Lemay and flows along the south side
of this site which needs to be accommodated.
5. There is an existing 24-inch water in Lemay and an 8-inch water main in Lincoln. There
is an existing 15-inch sanitary sewer approximately 200 feet E of Lemay in N/S
alignment. The developer must provide a 30-foot easement for the existing N/S
sewer. Extend water main from the 8-inch main in Lincoln to loop to the 24-inch main in
Lemay. Any water or sewer main brought to the property must be extended to the limits
of the property to serve future adjacent development. The water conservation standards
for landscape and irrigation will apply to the project. Development fees, water rights and
a repay for the 24-inch water main will be due at time of building permit. The Water and
Sewer Department of Fort Collins Utilities has implemented a plan check fee. For further

6. Please note that Elco also has mains in Lincoln and Lemay that may have to a cross d.
There may be an existing Elco service line that would have to be abandoned. For further
information regarding Elco facilities, please contact Webb Jones, 493-2044.
7. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. They will require that a fire hydrant
be within 300 feet of all buildings capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 gallons per
minute at 20 p.s.i. Addresses must be visible from public streets.
8. Access roads to buildings must feature no less than 25-feet inside and 50-feet outside
turning radii. Designated fire lanes must feature curbs painted red and "No Parking —

19. We understand that Duff Street and Webster Avenue will need to be extended from
the east to serve the 14 acre vacant land parcel to the North and East of this site.
20. The property is currently zoned I -Industrial. We have had many discussions with
Pete Wray and at this point it is looking like the City Council will rezone this site and
the adjoining 14 acre vacant parcel to M-M-N. That would require a Type If review,
but as our application will have been made prior to the May 20 City Council Meeting,
we do not believe the rezone will affect us in an adverse matter — regardless of the
ultimate zoning decision.
21. We met with Doug Moore on April 29, 2003. For further information regarding this
site, please contact Doug Moore at 221-6600.
22. Tim Buchanan evaluated the existing trees and found one oak tree situated in the
southeast corner of the site to be significant. In addition, there is a cluster of
cottonwoods situated in the northwest corner of the site that Tim considered
significant.
Although it would be in everyone's interest to keep the aforementioned trees, it will
be virtually impossible to retain them as this site is extremely constrained due to
stormwater issues which have driven the design of the site. Ultimately, it will not be
feasible to keep the aforementioned trees, therefore we will be replacing and
mitigating the existing trees in accordance with Section 3.2.1 (F) of the Land Use
Code.
Please talk to Tim or myself if you have further questions regarding this issue.
23. We will secure a Fugitive Dust Permit from Larimer County Health Department. In
addition, we will size trash enclosures to accommodate various containers for
recycling. We also intend to use a single trash hauler.
24. We will contact the Building Inspection Division prior to obtaining a building permit to
obtain an estimate of the Capital Improvement Expansion Fee.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me.
Thank you for your cooperation.

RE: Bank of Colorado - Northeast Corner of East Lincoln Avenue and Lemay Avenue
Dear Ted:
The following is an explanation of issues arising from the Conceptual Review Meeting on July
29, 2002 (see attached Conceptual Review Comments letter dated August 1, 2002) and how
those issues have been addressed.
LAND USE DATA: The request has been modified. We have revised our plans and will only
be building a 5,500 ( approximate ) square foot bank, with accessory drive-thru facilities on
1.413 acres at the northeast corner of East Lincoln Avenue and Lemay Avenue within the old
East Lincoln O.D.P.
There will be no retail requested.
The site is zoned I, Industrial. There is currently a rezone request under
consideration by City Council but whether rezoned E, Employment or whether the
zoning remains I, Industrial, banks / financial institutions are considered a Type I
review.
For further clarification regarding the rezoning, please contact Pete Wray.
2. In accordance with the Parking Table in Section 3.2.2(K)(2) financial institutions are
permitted a maximum of 3.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor
area. Currently, we are proposing 22 parking spaces for a 5,433 square foot
building, which equates to a ratio of 4.05 parking spaces per 1,000.
