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. 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. 5 Fire Lane" signs. Addresses must be visible from the public street system. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570. 9. The Street Oversizing Fee will be $11.03 per square foot for a bank with drive -through 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 median. 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 10 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 information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 6. Please note that Elco also has mains in Lincoln and Lemay that may have to be crossed. 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 — 3 ITEM: Bank of Colorado - Northeast Corner of East Lincoln and Lemay MEETING DATE: July 29, 2002 APPLICANT: Bank of Colorado c/o Mr. Dan Bernth, Veldman-Morgan, 760 Whalers Way, Building C, Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO. 80525.
