ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata(a�fcaov.com
1. The Access Control Plan for North College specifies that two access points would serve
the site in the long term, a commercial local road between the property and the Lamplighter
as well as an additional access point to the north along the property. The proposed site
plan proposes two access points, however a private drive instead of a commercial local
road is shown. As was previously indicated on the 3/15/2010 conceptual review the City is
potentially willing to change the commercial local road designation specified in the Access
Control Plan to a private drive. The applicant and the City should have further discussion
on specifics should this proposal proceed. Further internal City discussion would be
needed and amending the Access Control Plan (and receiving buy -in from CDOT) would
be needed.
2. The following two comments would likely not be applicable if the result of an agreement to
move forward with amending the Access Control Plan to remove the commercial local
street and instead provide a private drive takes place:
3. 36' half right=of-way for the future commercial local street would need to be dedicated at
this time.
4. The project is obligated for the half street design and construction of the commercial local
street along the southern boundary. Whether it would be beneficial to have this half
constructed at this time or financially obligated in a development agreement would likely be
at the applicant's preference.
S. Repays for the local street portion of College Avenue frontage improvements and
right-of-way would be required of the property prior to the issuance of a building permit in
conjunction with the development proposal.
6. Larimer County Road Impact Fees and Street Oversizing Fees are due at the time of
building permit. Please contact Matt Baker at 224-6108 if you have any questions.
7. Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For
additional information on these fees, please see
hftp://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php
8. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this
project, shall be replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer6s
expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance
of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
9. Please contact Joe Olson and Transportation Planning to schedule a scoping meeting and

WATER -WASTEWATER ENGINEERING
Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffington(cMcgov.com
1. The water and sewer mains in the vicinity of this site include a 4-inch water main in College
which extends from Willox to a point in front of the Lamplighter Motel, an 8-inch water main
which was extended across College from the former Grape Street, a 6-inch water main in
Willox Court and a 6-inch sewer at the southwest corner of the site.
2. This project will be responsible for extending the water main at the northeast comer of the
site with the objective of connecting to one of the existing mains in noted above. A meeting
with the developer's civil engineer, Poudre Fire Authority and Water Utilities staff is needed
to review options for routing this main to provide service to all buildings in this development
and provide adequate fire protection.
3. The water service to the existing building on the site is a %-inch service connecting to the
4-inch water main in front of the Lamplighter Motel on the west side of college.
4. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit.
STORMWATER ENGINEERING
Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter(dfcaov.com
1. Drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area; therefore, it is
important to document the existing impervious area. To determine these requirements, an
exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas is needed.
2. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and must be .
prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
3. Since the site is being platted, the existing storm sewer lines need to have easements
shown on the new plat in addition to any new easements needed for detention for the
additions and the parking lot.
4. In the Dry Creek basin, the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre. The drainage
outfall for the site may require obtaining easements from this property to Willox Court since
that appears to be the present outfall for the drainage. With detention, some of the site
could possibly drain to the existing storm lines from the North College Mobile Home Park if
the pipe under College Avenue is replaced. The existing pipe under College presently
flows from the east to the west. A new pipe would be needed to reverse the flow. This
would require an analysis of the outfall system through the new North College Market Place
to see if there is capacity for this site to flow that direction. The North College Market Place
design included capacity for an eight inch pipe from the mobile home park.
5. The detention pond is now shown at the low end of the site. The design engineer may have
sized the pond but no outlet pipe is shown. The drainage outfall though the buildings to the
west is the curb and gutter of Willox Ct. The design engineer will need to verify that the
outfall depth is sufficient to drain the detention and water quality pond.
6. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria

� rt Collins
This is a request to replat 1845 N College and the property to the north into a single lot. The part of
existing building and addition will be used for the sales offices for tractors,ATVs, trailers (27 feet
maximum length), small boats, conversion vans, cars, and light trucks. Also, part of this building will
be used for retail sales and part will be used for minor vehicle repair. The second building pad would
be a 5,000 s.f single -story building located on the western part of the site. The proposed use for this
building will be office/warehouse.
Comments:
ZONING
Contact: Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355, pbarnes(a)fcgov.com
1. The property is zoned CS. The former "boat sales" permitted use is no longer•allowed ;
pursuant to a code change. The sale of trailers up to 27' in lenght is questionable (research
will have to be done regarding previous agreements). All of the other uses are allowed
subject to'a Type 1 review process. The vehicle sales of cars and light trucks is allowed
and is currently approved for the south half of the lot, along with the existing "urban tractor'
sales. Shifting it to the north would be ok as long as the lineal frontage along College
devoted to this use does not increase over the existing lineal frontage on the south half.
2. The warehouse/mini-storage building must be at least 200 feet from N. College Avenue.
3. ATV and water sport inventory, etc. will need to be in a screened area. The site plan shows
a screened product storage, and I assume that's where these items would be.
4. The parking and vehicular use areas must be hard surfaced. Recycled asphalt or gravel
isn't an acceptable surface, except in the screened product storage.
5. It looks like most, if not all, of the car and light truck sales area is shown to be in the
landscape area. The landscape area is for landscaping, and vehicles can't be parked
there.
