(4.7(D)(1)). 24 The screen fences for trash enclosures and utility screening need to be solid. Their detail on A-3 appears to show spacing between pickets. (3.5. 1 (1)(1)&(2)). 27 What is the name of this development? The cover sheet says "Myrtle Court Division". The individual sheets state "Cowan Street Development". And the Planning Department routing sheets states "Myrtle Court Replat". Red -lined drawings are available at the Current Planning Department front desk. 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) 221-6750. Yours Truly, Bob Barkeen City Planner Page 7 8 Water Supply: No commercial building can be greater then 300 feet from a fire hydrant. In residential applications no building can be greater then 400 feet from a fire hydrant. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet (Commercial), 800 feet (Residential) along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1500 gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. UFC 901.2.2.2 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Mark Jackson Topic: General 28 New Sidewalk width need to be 4.5' per local residential street standards. Shown as only 4. 30 Site plan shows no ramps at intersection of Myrtle and Cowan. Please provide per standard 31 Provide sidewalk transition from new 4.5'sidewalk to existing sidewalk south of site. 32 Provide internal pedestrian connections from internal sidewalks to alley parking areas. Current design only connects units to Cowan Street sidewalk. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: landscaping 25 numerous "planting notes" on sheet L-2 seem to be contractual in nature and shouldn't be on our plans. For example, #'s 7,9,10,12, 16, 19, 20. All such notes should be removed. The City doesn't want to get involved in "enforcing" such things. 26 Some of the 'landscape notes" on sheet L-2 reference individual lots. Since there is no longer a replat proposed, and since this development is one parcel, such notes should be removed or clarified. Topic: parking 21 Each dwelling unit appears to have 2 bedrooms. Need 1.75 parking spaces for each 2 bedroom unit, thus each 4 plex building needs 7 parking spaces. However, they are providing only 6 spaces per building. Theyll either need to come up with 4 more parking spaces total, or reduce the number of bedrooms. If they do add 4 spaces, they should know that no building permits will be issued for basement finishes that include bedrooms. Additional bedrooms in the basement will increase the number of parking spaces required. (3.2.2(K)(1)(a)) Topic: zoning 20 There is no such use as a "townhome". Need to remove all reference to "townhome". What they are really building are 4-plexes. Need to state that as the land use. 22 Since this is one big lot, need to remove general note on sheet A-1 that states that minimum townhome lot size is 6000 sf. 23 Building dimensions shown on A don't scale out. Lot area must be at least twice as large as total floor area of buildings (each floor level and garage counts as floor area. Basement is only thing that doesn't count). They indicate on A-1 that floor area is 1215 sf per unit. But does that include the garage. Since A-2 dimensions are not accurate, can't verify that standard is met. If the garages aren`t included in the 1215 sf, Page 6 40 Label the existing water and sewer mains with the correct sizes. Correct all notes pertaining to taps and connections to the existing facilities with the correct dimensions. 41 Blow -off assemblies are not permitted within the City of Fort Collins Utility service area. No water services are permitted on a dead-end water main. 42 Use all current City of Fort Collins standard details. 43 Show and label all existing water and sewer services which exist on this property. Clearly define weather they are to be used or abandoned. If these services are to be abandoned, then provide details for their abandonment. 44 See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Bob Barkeen Topic: General 33 A neighborhood meeting will need to be held for this application. This meeting should be held fairly soon, before the project is resubmitted. The City will schedule this meeting when a date (or range of dates) is chosen. 34 The street -facing building elevations should promote variety, visual interest and a pedestrian -oriented streetscape. Staff is recommending additional windows (appears to just be left off) on the 2nd story portion of the side elevations next to Cowan Street be added. The East Myrtle Street elevation has a few blank walls (looks like behind the garage) additional windows or a change in materials may be appropriate to break up these sections. Please be aware the setback along Cowan Street is a minimum of 15 feet from back of right- of-way. 35 This use is a type II review in the NCM zoning district. This will require this project to be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration. If there are any modifications needed as part of the project (ie. Short off-street parking), these can be included in the presentation to the Planning and Zoning Board. 36 Staff is recommending the addition of some evergreen trees to be located between the porches, along the rear of the garages along the Myrtle Court elevations. This will help break up the elevation, focusing on the entryway to each unit, similar to the elevations along Cowan Street. Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: General 29 Contact City Forester before removing any existing trees. Trees that are being proposed for removal may need to be mitigated. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez 7 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 Page 5 Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage 55 Please submit a drainage report with the next submittal. No drainage report was included. 56 Please submit a drainage plan in the plan set and with the report including basin delineations and all other requirements. 57 Please provide details for all drainage structures including water quality outlet structure, valley pans, curb cuts, etc. 58 The water quality ponds need to be in drainage easements. These can be done with a replat or easement by separate document. 59 Please provide water quality calculations and discuss in the text of the report the water quality design. 60 Please provide flow calculations for the alley to show that the 100-year flows are within the alley right-of-way and no structures are inundated. A drainage easement is needed for any flows not within the right-of-way. Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control 32 1. Please submit a sediment and erosion control report and plans that are in accordance with City of Fort Collins Specifications. This should include a report, calculations, and plans that contain required elements. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: Landscape Plan 34 Show all water and sewer lines on the landscape plans and provide the required landscape/utility separation distances. Topic: Utility Plans 35 Show and label all curb stops and meter pits. Curb stops and meter pits must be located a minimum of 4 feet from all permanent structures (I.e. retaining walls, foundations, trash enclosures, etc.). 36 Curb stops and meter pits may not be located in hard surfaced areas. Curb stops must be located within a utility easement. 37 Provide a 15-foot utility easement on either side of a sanitary sewer main and 10-foot utility easement on either side of a water main. 38 All sanitary sewer cleanouts located within the traveled way must be labeled as traffic rated. Provide a traffic rated cleanout detail on the detail sheet. 39 Provide 0.2 feet of fall through all sanitary sewer manholes. Page 4 18 Please include revegetation methods and notes. Topic: Landscape Plan 9 Please show all utilities, ROW, property lines, etc on the landscape plan. Topic: Site Plan 10 Please note that all parking spaces along the alley as shown are large enough only to be compact parking, and need to be signed as such, and access easements need to be provided for them. Topic: Utility Plans 11 It appears that curb and gutter are being shown within the ROW of the alley. Please place such improvements on private property. -12 Please show driveways as concrete to the property line, and according to standard (fig 7-11 or 12F). 13 The minimum width of driveways for multifamily units is 24'. The minimum width of a drive aisle with garage doors facing each other is 28'. Please show dimensions. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric system 31 Electric meters on each building must be 'ganged' on the western end of each building. Topic: Landscape Plan 29 A streetlight will be installed at the southeast corner of the site. The street tree locations must be adjusted to maintain a minimum of 40-ft. clearance between the light and street trees. Topic: Plat 28 A 6-ft. easement is required along the south property line from the alley to the street. Topic: Site Plan 27 The site plan lists these as townhouses, but it appears this will be just one lot (condominiums). A plat was not included in the review package, but it appears a 6-ft. easement is planned along the alley. Light & Power will require this easement. 30 The site plan shows an existing electric transformer adjacent to the alley south of the sidewalk. The utility plan shows the transformer in the way of the sidewalk. If this transformer must be relocated it will be at the developer's expense, in addition to normal electric development charges. Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore 33 Contact City Forester before removing any existing trees. Trees that are being proposed for removal may need to be mitigated. Page 3 Please clearly_ show all property lines and ROW on all plans. It appears that only 15' of ROW is shown for the alley. I have not been able to find proof of vacation of 5' of the alley. Please provide this or show the alley as 20'wide. 8 Please complete and submit a Utility Plan Checklist (attached) with your next submittal. 16 Please show street cuts and add note: Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs are to be done in accordance with City street repair standards. 19 Will this project be phased? If so, please show phasing on both the utility plans and the landscape/site plans. 26 Where is the overall utility plan? 46 Easements will need to be dedicated each by separate document or by a replat of the site. 47 A utility coordination meeting will be required due to site constraints. Please let me know if there are certain times that are better or worse for you. I need a minimum of one week to coordinate the schedules of city staff. Please contact me at (970) 221-6605 or via email at kamoore@fcgov.com. 48 Please show directional pedestrian ramps at the corner of Cowan and Myrtle. 49 Please provide a smooth transition from detached walk on your site to the attached walk on the property to the south (not a right-angle). 50 The driveway areas used to access the garages need to be in access easements. 51 Please show existing/offsite features in a grey/phantom line weight. 52 1 am considering this submittal an incomplete submittal, and therefore have not commented on every missing item. As stated previously, please refer to the Lorimer County Urban Are Street Standards as well as the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code for requirements of a PDP. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding interpretation of these standards. 53 Street sidewalks are required to be a minimum of 4.5' in width. 54 Please see redlined plans for additional comments.
