PROSPECT RD. - RITE AID) - 6-99 - CORRESPONDENCE -M E M O R A N D U M DT: November 3, 1998 TO: Current Planning FM: Bruce Vogel, Electric Project Manager RE: Development Plans Presented at Conceptual Review The following development plans were presented at the Conceptual Review meeting on November 3, 1998: 1) Title: Rite Aid Location: S.W. corner of Prospect Road & Lemay Avenue Proposal: A Rite Aid Drug Store on a 5 lot site. Comments: Power is available from existing facilities to the west of the site along Prospect Road. Light & Power may require owner to provide utility easements to get power to the site. Due to probable ground contamination under the old Texeco Station, L. & P. will require verification of soil conditions and notification of when any ground clean-up is finished. A transformer location will need to be coordinated. Normal electric development policies and charges will apply. 2) Title: Change Of Use Location: 302 N. Meldrum St. Proposal: Temporary tenant will move into existing building until new owner can move in. Comments: No increase in electrical load is anticipated at this time. 3) Title: Location: Proposal: Comments: e. Proto-typical corporate architecture will not be allowed. Windows (not diamond shaped) and building articulation are especially needed along the Prospect Road and Lemay Avenue building facades. A main entrance (45 degree angle) should be provided at the Prospect Road / Lemay Avenue intersection. One drive-thru lane is suggested rather than two due to circulation conflicts. A main entrance at the northeast corner of the building and a single drive-thru lane might help provide support for modifications to the N-C Block Standards if needed. f. Please contact Ginger Dodge at 221-6750 to schedule a development application submittal appointment. Please contact Mike Ludwig at 221-6206 with any questions regarding these comments. 6. The Natural Resources Team provided a dust control handout from the Larimer County Health Department. Staff requests that a single trash hauler be utilized for the site. Please provide a trash enclosure that is large enough to accommodate trash dumpsters and recycling bins. Please utilize native plants and grasses on the site. The proposed site is contaminated and the ground must be cleaned up prior to development. A Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis will be required. Please keep the Natural Resources Team informed on the status of the site clean-up. Please contact Tom Vosburg at 221-6224 with any questions regarding these comments. 7. The Stormwater Utility stated that the property is located in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin (inventory grid #9K). The stormwater development fees for new development in this basin are $2,175 per acre, subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The existing impervious surface area on the site is grand fathered and must be documented in the drainage study. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. The primary issues are the existing drainage patterns and any increase in imperviousness of the site. Any increase in imperviousness of greater than 350 square feet triggers a full analysis and may cause the requirement of on -site detention. Detention for '/Z of the adjacent street is normally required and must be addressed in the drainage report. Since the street is existing, some judgement or variance may be considered if adequate justification is provided. There are storm sewers in both Prospect Road and Lemay Avenue with inlets in both streets. Five parcels are being combined into one site. Off -site drainage easements may be needed to Spring Creek since a change in the quantity, quality, and character of the drainage will occur with the re -development of the 5 lots. Water quality needs to be addressed. Extended detention is the preferred method. The site does have ground contamination. The applicant will be cleaning up the site and providing documentation to the City. Please contact Glen Schlueter at 221-6589 with any questions regarding these comments. 8.
