HomeMy WebLinkAboutTIDAL WAVE CARWASH - PDP - 38-01 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEWU. no ance Planning: 3uild to lines will need to be adhered to as specified in the LUC (building located between 10 and 25 feet behind street right-of-way. If this is truly a self serve car wash that has no employees that stay on site for a shift of duty, you may have a justifiable argument why not to provide a connecting walkway from a "main entrance" to a street sidewalk. More detailed discussion should take place on how to address this issue. 10. Current Planning: a. Refer to Section 3 (General Development Standards), and Section 4.17 ( C - Commercial Zoning District) in the Land Use Code for the standards that apply to your propose development. The Land Use Code is available to view on the internet at www.ci.fort-collins.co.us/CITY HALL/CODES. b. A neighborhood meeting will be required because of the close proximity to the fox den and neighborhood concern regarding impacts development in the area may have on the foxes. c. The land use code states in Section 3.5.3(8)(1) that, "at least one main entrance of any commercial or mixed -use building shall face and open directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage." You are proposing the use "minor vehicle repair, servicing, and maintenance," which is a commercial building. As Advance Planning stated, you may have a valid y_ argument as to why you should not be required to satisfy this standard. We { have a process for requesting exceptions to the code. This process is called a "modification of standards". Please contact me to discuss how to request a modification if you determine that is the direction you would like to go with �t this issue. d. Section 3.5.3(C)(1) of the Land Use Code requires that commercial buildings cannot exceed a height to width ratio of 1:3. As proposed, the elevations shown depict a section of building that is more than 3 times wider than it is tall, therefore this section would need to integrate variation in the massing including both a change in height and a projecting or recessed element on the facade. e. Ron Fuchs was the planner at the conceptual review meeting, but the project planner from this point on will be Troy Jones. 4 T. .... v. 191 Vastewater Utility: Ex.

We ask that a single trash hauler be used to minimize traffic impacts. d. Native grasses and plant materials should be used wherever appropriate, and bluegrasses should be minimized. e. If construction lasts for more than 6 months, you will have to file a permit for fugitive dust control with Lorimer County. 6. Fire Department: a.

Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020 g. Mr. Bracke indicated that it would be preferable to close off existing, old/unused curb cut off Troutman Pkwy. and provide access points from JFK and Troutman Pkwy along the access drive adjacent to the property. h. Kim Kriemeyer was contacted regarding the foxes. The only requirement might be to put in screening material during construction to discourage foxes from entering the site while under construction. i./j See "g." above. k. See "f' above. 1. See "f' above. 4. Water & Wastewater Utility. a.- e. Per Mr. Roger Buffington, City Water and Utilities Manager, there is an 8" sewer main stubbed in on the property. Dwight in the Water department researched water access and indicated Applicant could tap into 12" line at the main in Troutman and run appropriate size line from main to a meter pit on the property eg. 1 '/2". A sand/oil interceptor system will be used at the carwash and all water fees etc. will be provided prior to building permit. These Utility connections are shown on the Utility Plans provided with the application. 5. Natural Resources a. — d. There are no prairie dogs on the site. The Applicant will arrange for sharing of the Trash enclosure on the West side of the property, that is now used primarily by a restaurant at the Marketplace Shopping Center. The landscape plan will indicate the specific plant materials used throughout. Construction is not anticipated to last longer than 6 months. 6. Fire Dept. Initial contact with the Fort Collins Fire Dept. indicates the building will not be required to have a sprinkler system. No other issues were identified. 7. Light and Power. No issues identified. Applicant will complete a Commercial C1 form to estimate loads. 8. Transportation. No issues identified. 9. Advance Planning. a./b. Applicant has met with the Director and satisfied the requirements relating to build to standards as per the site plan layout. The issue of a "connecting walkway" from a main entrance has been settled due to a subsequent Code change excluding self serve car washes from this standard. 10. Current Planning. a. — e. A neighborhood meeting is scheduled for 9/18/01. Item 10, c. is no longer an issue as the City Land Use Code has been changed relating to this item. This change excludes self serve car washes from this code provision. Item 10, d. has been remedied with a redesign of the building to meet the required height to width ratio standard. Tidal Wave Carwash Explanation of How Conceptual Review Issues Addressed (June 12, 2000 CR letter attached) COMMENTS: Zoning Dept. a. — d. Applicant understands zoning and staff has indicated proposed use fits with "C- Commercial" as a Type I Review. The carwash will have an employee on site intermittently (mostly the owner) for maintenance, cleaning etc. All parking lot and landscaping requirements have been met as per the related site plan and landscape plan documents and based upon discussions with the Director about additional interior landscaping and vehicle lanes. 2. Stormwater Utility Department. a. — e. All drainage/erosion control reports were prepared by North Star Design and are included with the application. Water quality extended detention is provided per the above reports. 3. Engineering Dept. a. Spoke with Matt Baker, Street Oversizing Coordinator on issue of oversizing fees. Per stall fees of $7208 referenced in Concept Review letter are for "Tunnel" full serve car washes with much higher volumes than Tidal Wave Project. Per Mr. Baker, the ITE std. used to develop fee was 108 cars per stall per day. For the six bay Tidal Wave project this would equate to 648 total cars per day or 236,520 cars per year. Tidal Wave projections show 15 cars per bay per day / 90 total per day / 32,400 total per year or approximately 13% of the ITE volumes used to develop the fee. Mr. Baker indicated that, the City Traffic Engineer could assist with the adjustment and recalculation based upon these actual, more realistic volumes. In a separate conversation, the City Traffic Engineer, Mr. Bracke, indicated he would assist with this calculation. b. Per Mr. Eric Bracke, , City Traffic Engineer, this project will not require a Traffic Impact Study. This was confirmed in an e-mail message from Mr. Bracke to Mr. Troy Jones (Current Planning) on 5/9/01. This e-mail message is enclosed with the PDP application. c. Development Agreement, Development Construction Permit and Utility Plans will be provided. d. — e. The project site plan indicates the additional 7.5 ft. of right of way along both Troutman and JFK Parkway property lines. In addition, utility easements will be dedicated 15 ft. from the new right-of-way edge. These will be dedicated by separate documentation at the appropriate time (Deed of Dedication, prepared by Applicant). f. Per discussions with Mr. Tim Blandford, City of Fort Collins Project Engineer, no improvements re: curb/gutter, intersection are required as these streets were recent additions in the city. Mr. Blandford indicated that Applicant may be able to achieve sidewalk standards with "pour to" in 4' sections plus repair of existing sidewalk. Applicant is prepared to meet City standards for sidewalk improvement and concrete curbing at entrances from JFK & Troutman.
