HomeMy WebLinkAboutBOARDWALK CROSSING, LOT 2, FILING 2 - PDP - 76-93B - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)• Required Number (minimums and maximums) of Off -Street
Parking Spaces [3.2.2(K)];
• Parking Stall Dimensions [3.2.2(L)];
• Site Lighting [3.2.4];
• Development Agreement and Development Improvements
[3.3.2];
• Building and Project Compatibility [3.5.11;
• Mixed -Use, Institutional, and Commercial Buildings 13.5.31;
• Compliance with Master Street Plan [3.6.1(B)];
• General Public Street Regulations [3,6.2 (A) through (I)];
• Emergency Access [3.6.6].
c. Contact Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority to discuss emergency
access issues, and to go over the specifics of how the Fire Code would
apply to this project.
7. Light and Power:
a. Normal development fees apply.
b. A C 1-Commercial form will need to be filled out to determine non-
residential loads.
c. 3 phase power is available nearby.
d. A single transformer could be located between the 2 buildings.
8. Transportation:
a. The TIS will need to address all modes of transportation not only
including vehicle, but also bicycle, pedestrian and transit. Coordinate
with Eric Bracke from Traffic Operations to determine the level of detail
necessary for the vehicular scope of the TIS. Coordinate with Tom Reiff
from Transportation Planning to determine the level of detail necessary
for the bicycle, pedestrian and transit scope of the TIS.
b. Bicycle parking must be provided near building entrances.
c. Radial sidewalk ramps shown need to be directional ramps.
d. This site is in the influence area of the Mason Transportation Corridor.
There is a proposed bus rapid transit stop at Troutman. The sidewalks
along Mason Street act as the primary pedestrian links to the stations.
The building entrances should have a prominent link to the Mason Street
sidewalk.
9. Current Planning:
a. Refer to Section 3 (General Development Standards), and Section 4.17 (C
- Commercial Zoning District) in the Land Use Code for the standards
that apply to your proposed development. The Land Use Code is
available to view on the intemet at www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/codes.php.
b. Please visit our website at
http://www.fc�rov.com/currentplanning/submittals.php for a complete
list of submittal requirements.
c. The dumpster locations should be relocated. The entrances of the
buildings should orient to the comer of the buildings along Mason so the
entrances are convenient to both the sidewalk and the parking lot.
d. Pay particular attention to the following standards in the Land Use Code:
• "FullTree Stocking" is [LUC 3.2. 1 (D)(1)(c)];
• Street trees [3.2. 1 ((D)(2)];
• Foundation Plantings [3.2.1(E)(2)(d)];
• Parking lot Perimeter Landscaping 13.2. 1 (E) (4)];
• Parking lot Interior Landscaping [3.2. 1 (E) (5)1;
• Screening [3.2.l(E)(6)1;
• Placement and Interrelationship of Required Landscape Plan
Elements [3.2.1(H)];
• Landscape Plan Coordination with Utilities [3.2.1(K)];
• Parking Lot and Circulation System Layout [3.2.2(C) through
(K)1;
4
c. You will be required to have Utility as part of the application. You may be
required to have a Development Agreement and aDevelopment
Construction Permit. A plat is not required.
d. A utility coordination meeting will be necessary. This should be
conducted early in the process, and is frequently quite helpful prior to
initial formal development submittal. Typically we need a site layout
(including building locations, proposed paving arrangement, and
proposed water, sewer, stormwater, electric, phone, and cable TV
facilities) to distribute to the utility providers at least a week prior the
meeting. Your Engineering Department contact can schedule this for
you.
e. Adjacent streets will need right-of-way and adjacent utility easements
dedicated in accordance with standards contained in the Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) document. Mason Street is
designates as a 2-lane arterial. Match Garth Commercial Plaza across
the Street (10' parkway within the right-of-way, 6' sidewalk in an access
easement, and the adjacent 15 foot wide utility easement. Boardwalk is a
2-lane collector without parking, so it should have a 66 foot wide right-
of-way.
f. There are potential impacts of this development on the Mason
Transportation Corridor. Coordinate closely with Current Planning and
Transportation Planning on this issue.
g. The project will be required to repair or replace any damaged or missing
segments of curb, gutter and sidewalk.
h. If there are any existing overhead utilities, they will be required to be
undergrounded.
i. Sidewalk ramps will need to be directional ramps.
j. Public improvements will need to be in accordance with Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards.
4. Water & Wastewater Utility:
Location: SE of Boardwalk Drive and Mason Street (W of REI) (0-7)
Proposal: Retail/office buildings
Ex. Mains: 8-inch water and 8-inch sewer in Mason, 8-inch water and 8-inch
sewer in Boardwalk and 6-inch water and 8-inch sewer in drive S of
site
Comments: The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will
apply to the project. Development fees and water rights will be due
at building permit. A repay for the Warren Lake trunk sewer will
also be due.
5. Natural Resources:
a. Provide adequate space in dumpster area to allow for recycling services.
b. Use native plants/grasses and reduce bluegrass lawns as per LUC Article
3.2.1(E) (2) (3).
6. Fire Department:
a. Address must be visible from the street using a minimum 6" numerals on
a contrasting background.
b. See Section 3.6.6 of the LUC regarding Emergency Access.
3
standard street tree spacing requirements, and it requires a row of trees
between parking lots and adjacent side property lines. Also, parking lots
shall be screened from adjacent uses and the street.
g. Parking lot interior landscaping is required and regulated in Section
3.2.1(E)(5) of the LUC. This requires parking lots with less than 100
spaces to devote at least 6% of the interior space of the parking lot to
landscaped areas, and 10% for parking lots with 100 or more spaces.
h. Bicycle parking must be provided near building entrances.
i. Don't show signage on the elevations.
J. Please allow adequate space within your dumpster enclosure to
accommodate recycling containers.
2. Stormwater Utility Department:
a. This site is in the McClelland/Mail Creek drainage basin where the
new development fee is $3,717.00/acre which is it is subject to the
runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time the
building permit is issued.
b. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are
required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer
registered in Colorado.
c. Onsite detention is required with a 0.87 cfs/acre release rate.for
water quantity and extended detention is required for water quality
treatment. The previous study approved for the site should have the
correct release rate already calculated. If parking lot detention is to
be used the maximum depth allowed is one foot.
d. This site is on the Stormwater Utility inventory map 70.
e. At one time this site was designed to have detention and a pipe was to
be stubbed from the parking lot to the north for the outfall. That
detention volume was not determined using present rainfall
intensities so it will need to be resized and the water quality capture
volume added to the sizing.
f. There is a repay due for an SID for a stormsewer system that was
built in the 1980's. This will need to be paid before a building permit
can be issued. The design engineer will need to calculate the amount
due in accordance with the SID documents.
3. Engineering Department:
a. Street Oversizing Fees and Larimer County Road Impact Fees are likely
to apply. Check with Matt Baker for the specific amount of these fees for
your project. 2003 rates for these fees were $6.24 per square foot for
retail, and $4.06 per square foot for office. The 2004 rates will be slightly
higher.
b. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) will need to be submitted for review. The TIS
needs to addresses site access, and all modes of transportation including
automobile, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. Coordinate with Eric
Bracke from Traffic Operations to determine the level of detail necessary
for the vehicular scope of the TIS. Coordinate with Tom Reiff from
Transportation Planning to determine the level of detail necessary for the
bicycle, pedestrian and transit scope of the TIS.
