HomeMy WebLinkAboutEAGLE CLIFFS - PDP - 22-02 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 2 - REVISIONS5. A floodplain use permit is in the drainage report for the detention pond outlet only. No building will require the permit. Transportation Planning: Site Plan: 1. The ramps have been removed. 2. Striping of crosswalks at Lemay and Southridge Greens is now shown. 3. Lemay ROW has been labeled. 4. All access ramps are directional. 5. Acknowledged. 6. The sidewalk has been increased in width from 4 to 6 feet. Due to comments from engineering and stormwater, we have had to redesign the area around building 3. We are now unable to make a direct pedestrian connection from Nightingale to Lemay because of flood plain filling restrictions. We are still providing a 6' that does connect to Lemay. 7. Acknowledged. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Rachel Linder VF Ripley Associates Mike Oberlander North Star Design Landscape Plan: 1. Acknowledged. If necessary, we can meet with the Natural Resources Department to discuss this issue. This area will need to be reseeded because there is an existing stockpile that will need to be removed prior to construction of the site. PFA: General: 1. Acknowledged. 2. Acknowledged. 3. On June 12, 2002, we met with Ron Gonzales to discuss the layout and access. It was determined to fire sprinkler the three multi -family buildings. 4. Acknowledged. 5. The turn -around at the west end of the site has been made into a cul-de-sac with the proper turning radii. 6. On June 12, 2002, Ron Gonzales stated that there does not need to be a 100- diameter turn -around if the buildings are to be sprinklered. Stormwater Utility: Drainage: 1. The drive has been re -designed for the entire 100-year storm plus freeboard. All garages and finished floors are well above the WSEL. 2. Detention pond depth marker is noted on the plans. 3. Swale cross sections have been added. 4. The sidewalk culverts have been removed. The walk and curb will simply be dropped in this area. 5. The HGL for the storm sewer is based on an elevation of 4909.5 (the pond elevation in a 10 year storm). The 100-year WSEL for Fossil Creek is 4908 and will not affect this system. 6. There is not possibility for detaining the backs of these lots. There is an existing sanitary sewer in this area and no ponds are allowed over it. This is discussed in Section 4.1 of the drainage report. Erosion Control: 1. Straw bales have been removed where there are pans. 2. The pond is noted to be overexcavated to act as a sediment trap rather than a sediment basin. 3. It is noted that the stockpile area will be reseeded at the top of the bank of the creek. Floodplain: 1. All buildings have been moved out of the floodplain. Most of the floodplain comments and checklist are not applicable because of this site change. 2. There is not pedestrian bridge proposed with this project. 3. The floodplain is noted as existing on the plat. 4. Floodplain checklist is now included in the appendix of the drainage report. UP Sheet 14: 1. Sidewalk culverts (and detail) have been removed. UP Sheet 16: 1. Crosspan detail is fixed. UP Sheet 17: 1. Ramp detail added. UP Sheet 2: 1. Old variances removed — new variances added. UP Sheet 3: 1. Drive CL now meets 80' standard. 2. A variance is requested for the 12' drive separation on a local street. This is due to the geometry of the site and the required density. 3. See site plan for all dimensions. 4. All existing features are gray scale — drive is noted to be removed. 5. There are no ramps at the cul-de-sac. 6. Standard ramps have been added. UP Sheet 4-5: 1. Grading easement locations have been noted — letters of intent will be aquired. UP Sheet Cover: 1. Plat is now in the plans. 2. Typical section has been added. 3. Benches have been left on this sheet for the ease of the surveyor. 4. The soils report is noted on the general notes sheet. Light and Power: Landscape Plan: 1. The streetlights have been added to the plans and street trees have been moved away from the lights. Utility comments: 1. A utility coordination meeting will be held for this site. Because of the large changes to the site plan, we did not have one prior to this submittal (we want to make sure that planning, engineering, etc. is fine with the lot layout before the dry utilities are fixed. 2. See 1. above. 3. The water and sewer services have been moved as far away from lot lines as possible with a minimum of 6' per a conversation with Bruce Vogel. Natural Resources: General: 1. The 100' buffer from Fossil Creek is now being shown on the plans. We apologize for not showing this previously. Plat Cover Sheet: 1. Redlines corrections have been made. Plat Sheet 2: 1. ROW is dimensioned. 2. The documents that dedicated ROW have been noted. 3. HOA will own outlots and tracts. 4. The existing FCLWD easement is exclusive and under existing Southridge ROW. The Utility ROW on the SE corner is not exclusive so the ROW for Lemay is just shown over it. This is consistent with the meeting with Engineering on June 13, 2002. Site Plan: 1. Dimensions have been added to the site plan and utility plans. We are not adding site plan dimensions to the landscape plan. 2. All ramps are directional ramps 3. All garages are setback at least 20' from the sidewalk. 4. All driveway centerlines continue straight from the flowline for 25' before changing direction. 5. The parking around building 3 has been redesigned. 6. Ramp at Condor and Nightingale has been moved to the south corner of the curve, the drive on the south will act as the other ramp. UP Sheet 10: 1. See above — sight distance easements are now shown. 2. A variance is requested for tangents into the eyebrow based on this being more like an intersection than a curve on a through street. 3. The interpretation of the eyebrow detail was deemed OK at the meeting with Engineering on June 13, 2002. 4. Centerline profiles have not been added. A variance has been asked from this portion of the standards. It is our understanding that city staff is reviewing this requirement at this time and the this additional information (which is not used for the construction of a local street) will add confusion to the plans (the plan view would probably need to be on a separate sheet. 5. The eyebrow flowline now is the flowline alignment. 6. The spot elevations shown on the plan view show the connection to Southridge. This was discussed at the meeting with Engineering 7. Spots have been added at the crown around the eyebrow. 8. Utility crossings of the roadway are shown. 9. Horizontal PC and PT stations are shown in the profile. 10. Cul-de-sac grade is 1%. 11. Spots are added to the middle of the curb returns. 12. Vertical curves are now 70'. UP Sheet 11: 1. Drive widths and centerline stations have been added. 2. A "Bikes Only" sign has been added to Southridge and the striping matches existing at the flowline. July 16, 2002 Bob Barkeen Fort Collins Planning Department 281 North College Ave. Fort Collins, CO VF RIPLEY ASSOCIATES INC. RE: Eagle Cliffs response to city staff comments Landscape Architecture Urban Design Dear Bob, Planning We comment letter from the City of Fort Collins dated 401 West Mountain Avenue received a staff May 30, 2002. The acknowledgments below address the issues raised by Suite 201 Fort pins. CO 521- 604 city staff. F a FAX (970) 224-1662 Current Planning: 1. On June 25, 2002, I met with Bob Barkeen to discuss the carriage house floor plan. The carriage house will not have any cooking appliances in the kitchen. Based on a conversation with Gary Lopez at the zoning department, this will keep the carriage house from being considered a second dwelling unit. 2. All patio homes on site will comply with the garage door setback and building requirements in section 3.5.2.E.I of the landuse code. See site plan notes. Engineering: General: 1. Hammerhead variance denied: acknowledged. 2. As per our meeting with the engineering department on June 13, 2002, we have adjusted the lot lines along the southern boarder to intersect the ROW at right angles. 3. The landscape plans and utility plans now match. On the previous submittal, that inlet was the only discrepancy between the drawings. The engineer moved the inlet at the eyebrow to comply with the city's request for the flow lines around the eyebrow. This change was made right before we submitted and was not coordinated due to the timing. 4. As per a meeting with Ron Gonzales on June 12, 2002, all three condo buildings will be fire sprinklered. It was agreed that there is no need for an emergency access easement or turn around. 5. Two off -site parking spaces are being provided in the center of the cul-de-sac. We put them in the center because they were not permitted around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. 6. Site distance easements have been added around the interior of the eyebrow based on Figure 7-16 of the LCUASS. Landscaping: 1. The landscape plan was difficult to read because of the topography information. We have shaded this topography to make the plans more readable.
