The landscaping plan does not indicate the type of groundcover around the building where the shrubs are to be placed. I assume it is to be mulch or rock? Please indicate. 6. The site plan does not conform to the parking requirements of Section 3.2.2(K)(a). 7. Is the 28' building height realistic/accurate for a three-story structure? 8. Please provide a detail of the site lighting. 9. Note 12 Sheet 1 of 1 should state that mechanical equipment will not be visible from "surrounding areas" in addition to public streets. 10. The site plan shows an existing light along Elizabeth Street to be relocated but does not indicate the new location. 11. Although 2 handicap spaces meets the absolute minimum requirement for 50 parking spaces, the 50 spaces is based upon the assumption that a variance will be granted. At a minimum, and for a senior housing project, the number of handicap spaces should be based upon the required number of parking spaces and not a lesser number as determined by a possible variance. This means that 4 handicap spaces should be provided. 12. Keep in mind that the additional 1-foot of right-of-way required means that the utility easement will expand by 1 foot. This may impact the building location. 13. Certain dimensions are lacking on the site plan. Driveway width, typical parking stall width and depth need to be indicated. Review comments from the other reviewing agencies were foxed to Simpson Housing, and picked up by you yesterday. Therefore no additional copies are attached to this letter. Please provide a written response to each of the above comments, and the attached comments with the submittal of plan revisions. Please return all drawings and reports redlined by City staff with submission of your revisions that are clearly dated and labeled as revised plans. Please schedule your resubmittal with Ginger Dodge and/or Voneen Macklin of the Current Planning Department at 970.221.6750. Please contact me at 970.416.2138 and/or e-mail: bgrubbra.fcaov.coni if you should have any questions or concerns related to these comments. Sincerely, Brian Grubb, AICP City Planner Page 2 of 2 March 8, 2001 Simpson Housing c/o JR Engineering Attention: David Klockeman 2620 East Prospect Road, Suite 190 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Subject: Final Staff Review Comments (Round 1 Review) Elizabeth Street Apartments File #8-01 Dear Mr. Klockeman: Thank you for your application submitted on behalf of Simpson Housing Solutions. Staff has reviewed your submittal and we offer the following comments: 1. Section 2.2.11 of the Land Use Code requires that an applicant submit revisions based on this letter within 90 days or the project application becomes null and void. Your response to the City's concerns is due by June 8, 2001. A 30-day extension to this deadline is available. All requests for an extension should be directed to the Current Planning Director. If remaining issues are those that do not require plan revisions, a status report verifying continuing efforts toward resolving the issues is required within the same timeline. 2. The site plan does not conform to the park requirements contained in Section 4.5 (D) (3). The plan should be brought into conformance. It is the opinion of staff that it is especially necessary to provide an outdoor place for the elderly to congregate. A modification to this standard will require approval of the Planning and Zoning Board; therefore your application becomes a Type II review rather than a Type I. 3. The readability of the site plan would be better at a scale of V=20' (like the landscaping plan). 4. A minimum of 4 Bicycle parking spaces should be provided. This is based upon 5% of the required number of parking spaces (78). The site plan shows the location of the bike parking but does not indicate how many spaces will be provided.
