HomeMy WebLinkAboutSPANJER OFFICE BUILDING - PDP - 25-01 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)7. There was a subdivision plat submitted with this second round of review.
However, City staff was not aware that a plat had been included in the utility
plan sets until the reviewing engineer noticed it. The required number of
"folded" plats must be submitted separate from the utility plans so that they can
be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies.
8. Because there now is a subdivision plat with the development request the
applicant must be aware of Larimer County's requirement for a "Certificate of
Taxes Due" at time of recording and filing the plat (see attached information).
This completes staff comments at this time. Additional comments may be
forthcoming. This development request is subject to the 90-day revision re -
submittal (from the date of this comment letter) as set forth in Section
2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. 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) 221-6341.
Yours Truly,
Steve Olt,
City Planner

Engineering:
There now is a replat of the property that was not part of the original submittal.
Copies of the plat were included in utility plan sets without making City staff
aware that a plat was being submitted.
2. The utility plans do not show building envelopes and some portions of the
proposed buildings do encroach into drainage easements.
3. Handicapped parking spaces need to be 13' wide, unobstructed.
4. There are still discrepancies between the Site Plan and the utility plans.
5. Additional Light & Power easements are needed on -site.
Planning:
A driveway connection between the parking lot/drive on this site and the parking
lot on the property to the north may be desirable. This would create only one
access point onto the frontage road and enable this developer to eliminate the
20' wide fire access lane (and a significant amount of pavement).
2. The 8' wide handicapped parking space may not be sufficient, even with the 5'
wide pedestrian walk and ramp. The handicapped ramp may impede access to
and from a vehicle for a handicapped person trying to enter or exit the vehicle.
Section 3.2.2(K)(5)(a) of the Land Use Code must be met.
3. There is a lot of information on the Site Plan and the lack of differentiation in
line weights makes the plan very difficult to follow and read.
4. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has indicated that a
center median is needed in Cameron Drive at the intersection with South
College Avenue. This is to help control traffic on the frontage road. CDOT has
said that the next development in this business park will be responsible for the
design and construction of the median, which could be the Spanjer Office
project. There is the possibility that a repay agreement could be negotiated with
the proposed Redtail project, to the west and north.
5. Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan for comments regarding lot line and
parking lot perimeter landscaping.
6. Comments numbered 91 and above in this comment letter (from all
departments and outside reviewing agencies) are Round 2 review comments.

1. The WQ ponds A & B should have gravel outlet filters installed so the ponds can
act as sediment traps during construction.

Label building envelope, footprint, dimensions and distance to property lines.
12-26-01 ... Please see the redlines on the site plan. There are 2 building envelopes
noted for each building. The heavier dashed lines appear to be the correct .
envelopes. Please review and clarify.
87
Is there going to be a sidewalk along the frontage rd
12-26-01... On the site plan, the sidewalk along the frontage road is being referred
as 5' wide and 6' wide. Please clarify. I also don't see the 6' walk being called out
on the landscape plan.
91
Plant Note #7. This site is too small for phasing. If the buildings are going to be
constructed at the same time, the landscaping should be all done at the same time.
If construction will be in two phases, please show phase lines on both site and
landscape plans.
The following comments were expressed at Staff Review on 1/16/02:
Stormwater:
There are overlapping drainage and utility easements being shown that could
present a problem.
2. Most of the previous Stormwater comments have been adequately addressed.
Water/Wastewater:
This site is in an area that is serviced by the Fort Collins -Loveland Water and
South Fort Collins Sanitation Districts. You should contact them directly
regarding their requirements.

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
59
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
92
Water Supply requirement still needs to be addressed. The location of the fire
hydrant needs to be on the site plan.

The lighting plan needs to be reworked to provide greater security and less light
spillage. Every lot has inadequate lighting with several also having excess.
Department: Stormwater Utility
Topic: Drainage
Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque
98
Please provide documentation for the claim mentioned in the report that the City has
provided a 60' drainage easement through the natural area. The reference drawings
only show a Proposed easement. Please check that the easement includes drainage
from this site. What are the flow restrictions through this easement?
99
Please revise the grading along the north central part of the site to reflect proposed
basin delineation. See sheet 5.
100
Please provide complete calculations for the northern swale and both spillways.
The spillway should pass the 100-year flow and the sidewalk chases need to only
pass the 10-year flow. Calculations are not necessary for the sidewalk chases due
to the small flows.

Design and construct a median in Cameron Drive at the College Avenue
intersection. The median should run from College to the first entrance of Lot 6 which
is just south of your project. Address the sight distance issues in the median
separating the frontage road and College Avenue, to the north of Cameron. See
redlines. This is required by CDOT to minimize the traffic conflict along the frontage
road. CDOT will require an Access Permit - we will start the application for you. The
fee is paid at the time the actual permit is filed. The Redtail development will be
required to participate in the design and construction of this median as well -
whichever project goes first will initiate the design and construction and then be
reimbursed by the other development. Both projects will address the costs
associated with these requirements and who reimburses who in the Development
Agreement.

Repeat: Cover Sheet: Need the following statement annotated on the Cover Sheet:
"I hereby affirm...". See LCUASS, section 3.3.1.F.
16
Repeat: Provide all existing and proposed ROW, property lines and easements with
dimensions. See checklist E-4. Label on all sheets.
30
Repeat: Show how the proposed sidewalk ties in to the existing sidewalk.
39
Repeat: Provide detail, dimensions, label for the trench drain next to the trash
enclosure.
Has this been removed or accidentally left out from the first submittal?
40
Repeat: Add detail for the trash enclosure retaining wall. Make sure footer is inside
the property line. Will you need a temporary construction easement to dig on the
neighboring property?
49
Sheet 4/7: Show detail for the opening to drain ramp.
66
Cover Sheet: Provide an area of 4"x6" on each sheet for the Local Entity to place a
stamp of approval, all sheets.
This was provided as requested but needs to be removed again. This is a mistake
that will be corrected in the next version of the standards. Thanks and sorry!
108
Please work on the line weights a little bit. Existing conditions are ghosted or
dashed and proposed conditions are "normal". The plans have these line weights
backwards in some cases. See redlines.
109
Eliminate the Existing Conditions sheet. It's really not necessary.

The building envelope is overlapping the utility/drainage easements on the Site plan
and is not allowed by code. Please correct and coordinate between the
Plat/Landscape/Utility/Site plan sheets.

103
Incorrectly submitted. Must be resubmitted for review. Needs to show the building
envelopes, the language needs to be updated (see attached), Notice of Other Doc's
missing, Attorney's Cert missing, benchmark missing, and all additional easements
requested by Light and Power are missing. More comments to follow when correctly
submitted.
105
Title Block needs to go along the right hand margin.
Topic: Site Plan

Repeat: Show all ROW, easements, property lines & setback requirements.
Remove all the unnecessary dimensioning - looks more like an architectural drawing
than a site plan.
56
Repeat: Coordinate this sheet with the Utility plans to reflect the changes requested.
ill
Repeat: Does not match the Utility Plans. Very hard to read! Too much
dimensioning and only 2 line weights make it impossible to clearly define what's
going on. Remove all the unnecessary dimensioning, add a legend, and coordinate
with the Utility Sheet. I can provide good examples of what a site plan should look
like if you need to see one. See redlines.

Building envelope shown in the drainage easement. Not allowed - please correct
and coordinate with the Plat, Landscape and Utility Plans.
