Yours Truly, wta�- S-eve Olt City Planner cc: Sheri Langenberger Stantec Consulting Planning & Zoning Me #35-01 C Page 10 The following comments were expressed at the staff review meeting on June 6, 2007: Engineering/Sheri Langenberger 1. An Emergency Access Easement is needed in the existing driveway from Midpoint Drive to this site. PFA/CarieDann 1. This new building must be addressed from Midpoint Drive. Water & Wastewater/Roger Buffington 1. A minimum 5' separation from the existing fire hydrant to the intake is required. 2. The fire water line and domestic water service are shown to be at different corners of the new building. They must go into the building at the same location. Stormwater/Basil Hamdan 1. The drainage analysis can be done with the Final Plan review. 2. Some trees look to be fairly close to the existing storm line. This completes staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Red -lined plans from City departments are included with this comment letter. Additional comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. Another round of staff review is determined to be necessary unless City staff is receptive to working individually with the applicant to satisfactorily address these comments. This proposal is subject to the 90- day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being June 13, 2007) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you re -submit. The number of copies of each document to re -submit is shown on the attached REVISION ROUTING SHEET. Page 9 Topic: Plat Number: 4 Created: 6/4/2007 [6/4/07] Title should be renamed Centerpoint Plaza Replat to avoid confusion with original Centerpoint Plaza development. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 40 Created: 6/8/2007 [6/8/07] Pan conflicts with existing trees. Storm line on east side of building looks too shallow. A minimum of 10 feet of clearance should be maintained between trees and storm lines. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 8 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] Provide minimum of 5 foot clear separation between existing fire hydrant and storm intake. Number: 11 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] Waterline notes indicate domestic service and fire service to extend into mechanical room yet plans show the two services extending to building at NE and SE corners of building. Could domestic service move to NE corner and somehow eliminate one of the fire hydrants? Number: 15 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] Revise notes on WM fittings, etc. as noted on red -lined plans. Number: 16 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] Return red -lined plans with next submittal. Number: 17 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] See red -lined plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 5/25/2007 [5/25/071 2 HC spaces are required for "existing" building. What happened? Number: 2 Created: 5/25/2007 [5/25/07] There should be trees in the landscape strip and island along the RR tracks to the south. Page 8 Number: 20 Created: 6/6/2007 [6/6/07) KNOX BOX: Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system. 97UFC 902.4; PFA BUREAU POLICY 88-20 Number: 21 Created: 6/6/2007 [6/6/07) ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of six-inch (6) numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 97UFC 901.4.4 Number: 22 Created: 6/6/2007 [6/6/07) FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: Fire department connections shall be located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access or as otherwise approved by the fire code official. If possible, a fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the FDC. 2006 International Fire Code 912.2.1 and PFA Bureau Policy Number: 23 Created: 6/6/2007 [6/6/07) FIRE LINE REQUIREMENT. Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered shall have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a smaller fire line. Department: 3tormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic: Drainage Analysis Number: 5 Created: 6/4/2007 [6/4/07) At Final Plan review please provide pipe hydraulic analysis as well as water quality calculations. Topic: Drainage Plans Number: 6 Created: 6/4/2007 [6/4/07) Please design and show a spillway for the proposed pond. At Final Plan review please provide storm sewer profiles. Topic: Easement Number: 7 Created: 6/4/2007 [6/4/07) Place storm sewer along east side of proposed building within a drainage easement. Page 7 Number: 28 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07) The new pan along the northwest side of the building conflicts with two existing trees that are shown to remain on the utility and landscape plans. Number: 29 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07) Please see red -lines and returned utility plan check sheet for additional comments. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Utility Plans Number: 3 Created: 6/ 1 /2007 [6/ 1 /07) The developer will need to coordinate power requirements, electric development charges, & electric facility locations with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700). It appears that it will be necessary to trench across the parking lot of the existing building to install electric facilities to building #2. The utility plan shows 2 electric transformers near the S.W. corner of building #2. It is unknown what these are, but they are not electric utility facilities. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 19 Created: 6/6/2007 [6/6/07) EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT (EAE): The private drive is required to be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement, beginning where it meets Midpoint Drive. If the east -west drive aisle south of the proposed building "loops" and is an EAE throughout the parking lot, then the north -south private drive must be an EAE throughout its length. If the east -west drive aisle south of the proposed building is an EAE only for 150 feet and does not loop, the north -south private drive can be an EAE just until it meets up with the east -west drive aisle. The entire fire lane (private drive and parking lot -area) shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: ❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights (40 tons). Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. ❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. ❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane. 97UFC 901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1 Page 6 Number: 33 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] The emergency access, access, drainage and utility easement that loops around the southern portion of the site - the very southern portion probably needs to have a radius going north so it will account for the turning radius of vehicles that will be turning into and out of this loop. Number: 34 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Need to show the adjacent off -site easements that need to be dedicated by separate document for this project. Number: 35 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Missing a north arrow. Number: 36 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] The adjacent lots need to be labeled as lot 2 and lot 3 of Centerpoint Plaza. Number: 37 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] I don't think that you need to include the sight distance easement restrictions on this plat - I didn't see any sight distance easements being dedicated. Number: 38 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Need to add a signature line for the PRPA. They will need to sign the plat as you are showing new easements across their easement. Number: 39 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Comments from Technical Services 1) Boundary and legal close. 2) Some of the easements are unlocatable. 3) W 1/4 corner needs to be described, that "1/4" out of the southwest 1/4 corner. 4) Change the title to Centerpoint Plaza First Replat. 5) Easements need to be locatable on the plat. 6) Text over lines in the hatched area. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 27 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Per the new standards that were adopted the numbering of the general notes needs to held. So please renumber the notes in accordance to how they are numbered in E-1-FC/LAR. You can still use the note stating that all general notes apply, but you will need to update this so it correctly reference the current standards (dated April 1, 2007) and the correct appendix name (E- 1 -FC/LAR). Page 5 Number: 13 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] There are several off -site easements that are needed from the property to the east of this one. We will need to see a copy of a letter of intent from this property owner indicating that they are willing to work with you in regards to granting the easements that you need. We will need this letter prior to being able to schedule this project for hearing. Number: 14 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] At this time it looks like you will need the following easements from the property to the east. An emergency access easement that will connect the new back parking lot and drive area to Midpoint. An access easement that extends further to the south than the current easement does allowing for access all the way to the back parking spaces. A drainage easement in the area to the east of the building where you have a storm drainage inlet designed. A utility easement in the area to the east of the building where you are extending the waterline to the south - since the waterline would sit on the very edge of the existing easement it doesn't seem adequate, there also doesn't seem to be an easement in the area where the fire hydrant stub crosses over onto this property. Number: 18 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] We will either need PRPA to sign off on the plans or provide a letter saying they are okay with the improvements that you are showing within their easement area. The easement that they own is dedicated as a no -build easement, so we need verification that what you are proposing is okay with them. We will need something from them indicating that you have contacted them and are talking about this stuff before we can schedule you for hearing. Before we will sign off on your plans we will need PRPA to either have signed off on the plans or have provided a letter with a reference to the final grading plan sheet as exhibit indicating that they are okay with the plan attached to the letter. This way we know what they actually approved. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Number: 30 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Site Plan Need to identify the width of the sidewalk adjacent to the building in front of the parking spaces. Topic: Plat Number: 31 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Need to label the Mountain States Telephone easement at the NE corner of the site. Number: 32 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] There are some additional dimensions that are needed to be able to locate all the easements shown. Page 4 Number: 45 Created: 6/ 13/2007 16/ 13/07] Based on the graphic information on the Site and Landscape Plans, it is difficult to determine if there are any sidewalks adjacent to the parking around the "detention" area. There should be walks to provide pedestrian movement from cars to the building without having to walk in the driveways. Number: 47 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) In the SITE PLAN LEGEND on the Site Plan it indicates "standard 9' x 18' parking space". All of the parking spaces are shown to be 17' deep on the plan. Number: 48 Created: 6/ 13/2007 16/ 13/07] On the Site Plan there are a lot of graphic symbols that are not clearly identified as to what they are. Maybe it would be better to remove them from this plan. Number: 49 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07] Is thereto be just one trash dumpster for the 2 buildings? Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Langenberger Topic: General Number: 9 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] This development is responsible for a repay for a Special Improvement District (SID) assessment. This assessment will be due at the time of building permit. Please contact Matt Baker of Engineering, at 224- 6108, for information on the SID. Number: 10 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] The development on this property will be responsible for the repair and/or replacement of any damaged existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk on Midpoint Drive or Timberline Road adjacent to the area being platted with this project. All replacement and repair work will need to be completed and accepted by the City prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy on this site. Number: 12 Created: 6/5/2007 [6/5/07] You are proposing to replat this property - so you need a new name for the plat and the associated development plans. You can call it Centerpoint Plaza Two or Centerpoint Plaza Replat or something else. It just needs to be called something other than Centerpoint Plaza as that plat already exists. What ever is decided upon as the name is what the rest of the plans (Site, Landscape and Utility Plans) need to be called. Page 3 Number: 50 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) Per Gary Lopez's (Zoning)comment (#2) about the requirement for trees in the landscape strip and island along the railroad tracks to the south, what is the applicant's solution to this requirement? It is understood that the Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) has stated (in a letter to Don Tiller dated 5/7/07) that: One such acquired right is the restriction regarding planting of trees in their easement. PRPA has the right to remove trees and will do so as safety for the public and safe operation of the electrical system is of utmost concern. Also, there is a strip of land between this property line and the PRPA easement (in essence, outside of the easement) or parking lot line that varies from 5' to 10' in width. Why can trees not be planted in this area? Topic: Site Plan Number: 41 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) General Note 8 on the Site Plan states that "All Employment District (E) Type 1 Uses are permitted". While understanding that the developer wants to keep land use options open it does not seem logical, or realistic, that any of the permitted Residential Uses or Institutional/Civic/Public Uses would ever occur in this location. Could the proposed land uses be somewhat more limited? Number: 42 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) The line weights for the building and sidewalks appear to be identical, making it hard to differentiate between these 2 features on the Site and Landscape Plans. Number: 43 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) The Site Plan shows a Maximum Building Height of 42'-0" and the Building Elevations show a building height of 40'-1&3/4". Any building over 40' in height requires that the applicant submit for review by staff the information set forth in Section 3.5.1(G) Building Height Review of the Land Use Code. Number: 44 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07) The PARHING data on the Site Plan indicates 44 existing spaces (to the east of the existing building), which is correct; and, 71 proposed spaces, which are shown on the south side of the proposed building. There are 12 spaces shown on the north side of the proposed building, assumedly new spaces, that are unaccounted for in the PARHING data. Being new spaces for the proposed building, this would bring the total up to 83 spaces, requiring 4 handicapped spaces instead of the 3 as shown. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Cityof Fort Collins Vignette Studios Date: 06/ 13/2007 c/o Don Tiller 144 North Mason Street, Suite 2 Fort Collins, CO 80524 Staff has reviewed your submittal for CENTERPOINT PLAZA REPLAT, PDP - TYPE 1, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Building Elevations Number: 46 Created: 6/ 13/2007 [6/ 13/07] The scale on the Building Elevations Plans appears to be incorrect. Should it be 1 /8" = 1'-0" instead of 1 /4" = 1'-0" (the 3-story building would be only 20' high)? Topic: General Number: 24 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Rick Lee of the Building Department indicated that he is attaching a copy of the Codes & Standards that the City will be enforcing. Also, please note that a pre -submittal meeting must be scheduled with the Building Department. Number: 26 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Bonnie Ham of the U.S. Post Office indicated that the developer is responsible for providing mailboxes for all tenants, at an agreed upon location. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 25 Created: 6/7/2007 [6/7/07] Laurie D'Audney of the Water Conservation Utility is providing copies of: 1) Water Conservation Standards for Landscapes COMMENT SHEET, and, 2) Water Conservation Standards for LANDSCAPING and IRRIGATION SYSTEMS General Information sheets. These documents are attached to the staff comment letter. Page 1
