HomeMy WebLinkAboutSPANJER OFFICE BUILDING - PDP - 25-01 - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONS (5)The plat will be submitted correctly this time. 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). The Certificate will be pro%Aaed. 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 Page I 1 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). The developer did not find it desirable. 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. The space is now 1 3' wide, unobstructed. 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. To be addressed by others 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. The Kedtail development will design and construct the median, the development agreement contains the details of reimbursement. Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan for comments regarding lot line and parking lot perimeter landscaping. To be addressed by others. Comments numbered 91 and above in this comment letter (from all departments and outside reviewing agencies) are Round 2 review comments. 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. Page 10 Stormwater: There are overlapping drainage and utility easements being shown that could present a problem. Most of the previous Stormwater comments have been adequately addressed. The easements no longer overlap. Water/Wastewater: 1. 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. The comments from the Fort Collins -Loveland Water and South Fort Collins Sanitation Districts have been addressed and appropriate changes have been made. 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. The plat will be submitted correctly this time, the required number of copies will be folded and submitted separately from the Utility drawings, a copy of the Plat will be included in the Utility drawings for reference. The utility plans do not show building envelopes and some portions of the proposed buildings do encroach into drainage easements. Building envelopes are shown, easements no longer overlap. Handicapped parking spaces need to be 13' wide, unobstructed. The ramp has been moved , the space is unobstructed. There are still discrepancies between the Site Plan and the utility plans. Plans have been coordinated. Additional Light & Power easements are needed on -site. Easements have been provided Page 9 1. The WQ ponds A & B should have gravel outlet filters installed so the ponds can act as sediment traps during construction. Outlet Filters for the ponds have been added. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols 83 Label building envelope, footprint, dimensions and distance to property lines. Items are labeled, please reference site plan for more detailed buildincg- related dimensions. 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. To be addressed by others. 87 Is there going to be a sidewalk along the frontage rd Yes 12-26-01... On the site plan, the sidewalk along the frontage road is being referred as S wide and 6' wide. Please clarify. I also don't see the 6' walk being called out on the landscape plan. There is a proposed six-foot wide sidewalk along the Frontage Road. One foot of that width is located in the Right -of -Way, the remaining five feet lie within the five-foot Pedestrian Access easement. 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. To be addressed by others. The following comments were expressed at Staff Review on 1/16/0Z Page 8 Department: Police Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom 90 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. To be addressed by others. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage 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? Documentation was been provided to Basil Hampden at Stormwater January 22, 2001 , easement agreement RCPTN# 99043010. 99 Please revise the grading along the north central part of the site to reflect proposed basin delineation. See sheet 5. Grading has been revised. 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. Calculations are included in the Drainage Report. 101 Please check / provide riprap and calculations where needed (WQ pond B?). Rprap is not rectuired according to the calculations, but a G'xG' patch of Type L riprap is proposed at the 2' curb opening at WQ Pond B to ensure that erosion does not occur. Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control 102 Page 7 97 Locate electric line along entire north edge of property and provide easement for line. A Utility Easement has been provided Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: Natural Resources 74 Trash Enclosure - Please include a detail of the trash enclosure with the next submittal. ***REPEATED COMMENT 111612002 *** Please reference site plan to see trash enclosure detail Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez 58 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 To be addressed by others. 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 There are two (2) fire hydrants located well within 300 feet of either building. One is located on the southwest corner of Coronado Court and the Frontage Road (Lot 8), the other is located across Cameron Drive on the vacant lot (Lot 5). These are shown on the utility plans. 92 Water Supply requirement still needs to be addressed. The location of the fire hydrant needs to be on the site plan. The hydrants are shown on all Utility Plans. Page 6 110 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. The Redtail development will design and construct the median, the development agreement contains the details of reimbursement. 113 Cover Sheet: Remove the word "Final" from the title. Removed. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Alan Rutz 93 Contact Light & Power with electric load requirements. To be addressed by others 94 Maintain 4' clearance between gas and electric line. Clearance is maintained 95 Transformer pad is 4' x 4'. Corrected. 96 Provide easement at southeast comer of property starting at the frontage road and extending west to include the electric vault (transformer). A Utility Easement has been provided Page 5 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? The trench drain has been removed from the plans. 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? Please reference site plan to see trash enclosure detail. 49 Sheet 4fT Show detail for the opening to drain ramp. The sump pit is to convey flows from the ramp and stairs to the WQCV to the east WQCV pond. The drain opening and other details will be designed by others, using our flow data. 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! Removed as requested. 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. Line weights have been corrected. 109 Eliminate the Existing Conditions sheet. It's really not necessary. The existing conditions sheet aids in the construction process, and will remain in the set. Page 4 55 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. 111 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. 112 Building envelope shown in the drainage easement. Not allowed - please correct and coordinate with the Plat, Landscape and Utility Plans. Topic: Utility Plans 7 Repeat: Update the General Construction Notes. See Attached. The notes have been updated. 8 Repeat: Cover Sheet: Need the following statement annotated on the Cover Sheet: "I hereby affirm...". See LCUASS, section 3.3.1.F. The note 15 annotated. 16 Repeat: Provide all existing and proposed ROW, property lines and easements with dimensions. See checklist E-4. Label on all sheets. All are shown with dimensions. 30 Repeat: Show how the proposed sidewalk ties in to the existing sidewalk. Reference page 3- Overall Utility Plan. Page 3 104 Show ALL easements, building envelopes, property lines, ROW, etc, all sheets (Landscape/Utility/Site/Plat). See Checklist E-4. All easements, envelopes, property lines and ROWS are shown in the Utility Plans. 106 Need to submit a variance request for the combined Ped Access/Utility easement. A Variance Rectuest has been submitted. 107 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. The conflict has been cleared, plans are coordinated. Topic: Landscape Plan To be addressed by others 57 Landscape Plan: Coordinate this sheet with the Utility plans to reflect the changes requested. Topic: Plat To be addressed by others 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.
