Home My WebLink AboutCLOCK TOWER APARTMENTS - PDP - 37-02A - CORRESPONDENCE -According to the LCUASS, sidewalks on local streets are required to be 4'6" in width. Please increase the sidewalk width along Wagner Drive to 46". 66 The sidewalk depicted along Wagner Drive is required to remain consistant across the proposed driveway cut. Please see standard drawing 1601 for Standard Sidewalk in the LCUASS. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General 15 Repeat Comment, Show and LABEL all existing water/sewer mains, water/sewer services, meter pits, curb stops, and sizes of existing water sewer appurtenances. 16 REPEAT COMMENT; Provide all info necessary for our review (i.e. fixture count, fire line size, etc.). 17 Label all proposed sanitary sewer clean -outs within traffic areas as'Traffic Rated" and provide a traffic rated detail. Field located, show and label all gas and electric lines on this site. Draw meter pit to scale and maintain a 4 foot clear separation between gas/electric/building envelop and meter pit. Clearly define all connection and abandonment's to the existing water and sewer system. Include a note to coordinate all abandonment's with the City Utilities. See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Topic: Zoning Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols 8 Compact parking spaces need to have signage adressing them as such 9 Street trees need to be added along Birch 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. Yours Truly, BOB BARKEEN City Planner Page 5 Circulation: Is alley adequate to handle turning movements into property and onto Birch? Is lighting needed for alley/Birch intersection? Department: Stormwater Utility Topic: Drainage 26 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please change the C- factors for the 100-year flows and recalculate flows and volume needed for pond. See draiange report. 27 Please provide 40-hour extended water quality volume for this site using the City's standard water quality outlet structure. The grades should allow for this outlet structure. 31 Please provide existing contours to 50 feet off of the property line around the perimeter of site and show proposed grading ties into existing contours. 32 The 15-inch pond outlet pipe will not transition well with the sidewalk chase at the end of the pipe. A 12-inch pipe would be allowed in this situation due to the ouffall having to be relased at grade. A flared -end section may also be needed. Please reconfigure. 33 Please add corner lot elevations to the grading plan and the City's vertical control benchmark used on the cover sheet. 34 Are grades not changing on the northeast corner of the site? Please add proposed contours to this area due to new building footprint being proposed here. 35 In house calculations showed the volume needed in the pond was around 3000 cf. This would put the WSEL at just under 5032. Since the weir invert is at this same elevation, and the berm around the pond is an additional 1 foot for freeboard, the pond is OK as designed. The pond is essentially acting as if the 100-WSEL is at 5032 anyway. MOE are at least 1 foot higher as well. 36 A drainage easement is needed for the extent of the 100-year WSEL of the detention pond and for the outlet stormsewer. This can be done by separate document if there is no replat. Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control 28 1. Your plan doesn't show any BMP's (that I can find). 2. Your EFF calculations indicate existing/established grass as a BMP, yet the site appears to be completely utilized for development. How does this all fit together? 3. What is the plan for revegetation of disturbed areas? 4. Why is the detention pond not being utilized as a sediment trap during construction? Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff Topic: Transportation 65 Page 4 53 Need a detail of how the new sidewalk will tie into the existing sidewalk and ramp. 54 Add the following note where the pavement will be cut to install the curb chase(s). Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards. 55 What do the walls look like? Need to provide details and x-sections of the walls. Provide top of wall and bottom of wall elevations. Are these retaining walls or just landscape walls? 56 How does the 15 in dia drainage pipe tie into the 4 5/8 in high curb chase? Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric 1 Individual electric meters will be required for each apartment. This project will qualify as redevelopment and initiate Light & Power Development charges. Developer is encouraged to coordinate power requriements and availability with Light & Power engineering as soon as possible. Topic: General 64 Previous Light & Power comments still applies. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Topic: General 18 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. 97 UFC 901.4.4 19 Water Supply: 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 97 UFC 901.2.2.2 20 Sprinkler Requirement: This proposed buuilding shall be fire sprinklered. 97 UFC 1003.2.9 NOTE: This proposed building contains more then 16 units and is therefore required to be fire sprinklered. Also a minimum 6 inch fire line is required. PFA requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler or fire alarm system. 97 UFC 902.4; PFA Policy 88-20 Department: Police Topic: General 14 Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom Page 3 The existing plat has a 30 foot BSB (building setback line) line adjacent to all row. The building you are proposing goes beyond this line. I don't know for sure how you can get rid of this line. Since it is on the plat, a replat maybe required. 38 An access easement needs to be dedicated for the access driveway. An access easement does not exist here unless it was dedicated by separate document at some time. If so please provide the reception number and a copy of the easement. If half of the drive is on the adjacent property, an access easement on that property is needed as well. 39 Need to see 150 feet of off site area surrounding the lot. What is there - need to show grade lines beyond the property boundaries. 40 There is a 40 foot parking setback for the parking spaces on the driveway from the street. This will eliminate a few spaces. 41 What is the actual pavement width of the private drive? Is it wide enough to provide the head in parking you are showing and the parallel parking that is existing (or being done) today on the west side? 42 Sidewalk in front of the parking spaces needs to be a minimum of 6 feet wide. It is being shown as 4 feet. 43 What is the width of the existing sidewalk on Birch? May need to be widened if it doesn't meet requirements. 44 Drainage can not drain across the sidewalk from the private drive. It will need to get out to the street via a sidewalk chase or an inlet. 45 Will need to dedicate easements as needed for the site either by separate document or by plat if you end up replating. 46 Need to provide curb and gutter details. 47 What is the proposed parkway width on Wagner? The walk needs to go around the fire hydrant 48 Need to dedicate row to the back of the new sidewalk on Wagner. 49 No sewer services are shown. 50 Use current general notes. See appendix E-1 of LCUASS. 51 Provide applicable construction notes from appendix E-1 of LCUASS. 52 See Check sheet for other missing information.

Such an are may be incorporated into the entry features of the building fromq Birch or Wagner Drive. �/ d f.�•4 �7✓ /1 58 The landscape plan needs to include foundation plantings along Birch and Wagner Drives. Also, the areas t1 around the rear balconies should include some landscaping, rather than just sand. y a a 1 S The upright junipers should be replaced with a lower shrub on the far left island (for visibility). 59 The building entrances onto Birch and Wagner Drive need to be designed to be a substantial part of th building. The entrances should also be a functional part of the building, allowing residences to access tthhe� ,A building off of Birch or Wagner Drive, then to each unit. 60 P v� o.� Will the trash enclosure be better located across the parking lot in th�jav cent island? It looks like there may be additional room for it here. 61 The sidewalks leading to the rear of the site should be increased in width adjacent to vehicle overhange areas. Also, the sidewalk leading from the east may be better served if located adjacent to the building rather than adjacent to the retaining walls. Please include details of the retaining walls on the site plan. It will need to be noted on the site plan the elevations of the retaining walls. 62 Please indicate wndow wells and other overhange (stairs, balconies, etc.) on the site plan. Please include the breakdown of the number of bedrooms/unit for proposed units. 63 A vehicle turn -around area will need to be provided at the end of the parking lot.
