HomeMy WebLinkAboutPVH MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING & PARKING STRUCTURE - PDP - 14-07 - CORRESPONDENCE -Comments from Current Planning: 1. As we discussed, be sure that exiting vehicles have a clear sight line of pedestrians on the sidewalk. These walks should swing as far away from the edge of the parking structure as possible. Landscaping, raised planters, seat walls and the like should be placed on either side of the exit lanes to keep pedestrians from hugging the wall and thereby not becoming visible for exiting vehicles. I will provide draft regulations that will soon be incorporated into the Land Use Code for projects located in the Transit Oriented Development Overlay District under separate cover. 2. Will all 15 handicap parking spaces be located on the ground floor level? Or, will they be distributed throughout all four levels? Please indicate how these spaces will be distributed. 3. Please indicate where on the ground floor level the bicycle parking will be located. 4. For the M.O.B., please consider adding more bicycle parking. 5. Please add a greater variety of plant material to the north edge of the parking structure. 6. Along the south property line of the M.O.B., a privacy fence is needed to screen the parking lot. 7. Staff remains concerned about the quality of the pedestrian experience along the public streets at the edge of the parking garage. The architectural elevations indicate that there will be "custom metal security screen." Please provide more detail or a sample of this material. We hope that security can be achieved without sacrificing an active and interesting pedestrian environment. Walking along a long blank wall is dispiriting and will discourage pedestrian activity. 8. Regarding the M.O.B., Staff is concerned about introducing the "cement board panel' on portions of the upper level. This material appears inferior to the materials used on the balance of the structure. Although the fourth level is stepped back, it will still be visible. Quality materials should be used consistently for the full height of the building. (By way of background, both Pine Street Lofts and the Larimer County Office Building have been criticized for use of dissimilar and inferior materials on their upper levels.) 9. Please consider offering a view perspective from the nearest residential property looking northeast to the south and west elevations of the parking structure. Page 8 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. Sincerely, Ted Shepard Chief Planner Page 9 Number: 53 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] City records indicate that the existing water service to 1045 Garfield is a f- inch. Number: 54 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] To the south of the M.O.B., it is indicated that there is an 8-inch stub going north out of the existing MH. Is this based on field observation? (City records don't show this stub.) Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] Parking lot lights along the south side of the surface parking lot for the MOB should have backside, drop down shields Number: 2 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] Building distances are shown to curb or sidewalk. Show the distances from building to property lines also. Number: 3 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] Since the parking structure stalls are all sized for employee parking rather than general parking, Adequate signage will have to be placed at the entrances and throughout the structure indicating that parking is for employees only. Indicate this on plan. Number: 4 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] A 6' high solid fence is required along the south lot line of the MOB parking lot. Number: 5 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] 10% of the interior of the MOB parking lot must be landscape islands. What is the percentage? There is a 10' wide area in the MOB lot with the handicap spaces on both sides of this area. Is this 10' wide area to be landscaped. The plan doesn't indicate what the surface of this strip is. Number: 6 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] Landscape plan needs a specific landscape legend, not a "representative plant list", and plan needs to indicate what is being planted. Number: 7 Created: 5/22/2007 [5/22/07] Is there going to be a trash enclosure for the MOB? If so, show location on site plan and detail of materials.

Please look into several detention alternatives as well as any other reasoning to not providing detention and please schedule a meeting with us to discuss. Number: 44 Created: 6/14/2007 [6/14/07] Please provide a drainage easement for the water quality swale around the parking structure and for the stormceptor. Number: 45 Created: 6/14/2007 [6/14/07] Please provide documentation on the stormceptor so City staff can determine the level of water quality mitigation that is being achieved and if it will be acceptable. Number: 46 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] Please see other comments on the redlined plans and report. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 47 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] Use tapping saddles for new fire line/fire hydrant connections to existing water mains Number: 48 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] Place meter pits within 2 feet of curb stops (see standard details). Number: 49 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] On the parking garage, explain the uses of the domestic water/sewer connections. Number: 50 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] At Doctor's Lane, the valve shown on the west side of the 12-inch main is a valve for the irrigation service. From that location, the irrigation service jogs to the north and back to the west where it connects to the curb stop/meter pit. Number: 51 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] Add water/sewer service details to the parking structure plans. Number: 52 Created: 6/15/2007 [6/15/07] On south side of Garfield, a water line stub is shown at the existing drive. If not used, this stub must be abandoned at the main. Page 6 Number: 35 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/071 The Site and Landscape Plans shall reflect all revisions to sidewalks, ramps, bus pads, easements etc... as requested on the Utility Plan redlines. Number: 36 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/071 The Landscape Plan shall clearly indicate all trees to be removed and protected along Garfield and Lemay and should match the information being shown on the Demolition Plan prepared by Stantec. Topic: Technical Services Number: 37 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Please correct a typo in the curve data on the Plat. The title in ownership statement is incorrect.

Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 42 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/071 PFA has no comments or concerns at this time. Department: Traffic Operations Issue Contact: Ward Stanford Topic: Traffic Number: 55 Created: 6/15/2007 There's significant northbound left turn increases at Lemay/Garfield, Lemay/Doctors. Reviewing the Synchro queue depths at these locations leaves me lacking confidence in Synchro's evaluation of those queue lengths, especially at Garfield. Please provide an alternative analysis of the possible queues and available stacking depth at these two locations. Page 5 [6/13/07] NE: Sidewalk widening improvements are not being shown on Garfield. The old monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk along Garfield cannot be saw cut to reconstruct a wider sidewalk. If the entire walk is to be reconstructed, new standard vertical curb and gutter must also be reconstructed. Two options are available: Add and additional 4 feet minimum of new concrete walk to the existing attached walk or remove the existing curb, gutter and sidewalk and reconstruct with standard vertical curb and gutter and new attached 6.5 foot attached sidewalk. The sidewalk may taper and become narrower than 6.5 feet in locations where existing trees are to be protected. Please clearly indicate these locations on the plan. Please consult with Angie of BHA Design for further clarification. Number: 28 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: Please show ADA access across the access driveway off of Garfield and call out standard ramps with LCUASS detail. Number: 29 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: Please label all public access, utility and drainage easements (or any combination of) consistent with the Plat. Number: 30 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: The sidewalk along Lemay shall be detached where possible and a minimum of 6 feet in width. The sidewalk may become attached only where existing trees are to be protected and the attached portion shall be at least 8 feet in width. Please clearly show this on the plans. Number: 31 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: The bus shelter pad will need to be reconstructed with the new sidewalk. The dimensions of the pad shall meet the minimum requirements provided with the redlines and a 6 foot sidewalk shall be located behind the shelter. Number: 32 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: Please show the limits of street cut needed to make the storm drain connection on Lemay and provide the standard street cut note provided on the utility plan sheet. Number: 33 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: It was my understanding from the conceptual review meeting that an emergency access easement would be needed in the parking area for PFA access. Please clarify with PFA and show the E.A.E. as needed. If needed it shall be dedicated on the Plat prepared by Stantec. Number: 34 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: Please provide all LCUASS and applicable on -site standard details with the final plan submittal. See redlines for additional comments related to drafting and/or labeling. Page 4 Two options are available: Add an additional 4 feet minimum of new concrete walk to the existing attached walk or remove the existing curb, gutter and sidewalk and reconstruct with standard vertical curb and gutter and new 6.5 foot attached sidewalk. The sidewalk may taper and become narrower than 6.5 feet in locations where existing trees are to be protected. Please clearly indicate these locations on the plan. Number: 20 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Please label and dimension the limits of ROW on Garfield Ave. Show and label the limits of street cuts needed for utility connections and add the standard street cut note provided to the applicable plan sheet. Number: 21 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Please provide cross sections of the parkway, sidewalk and street as indicated on the Grading Plan redlines. Perimeter drains may need to be located with drainage easements. Please consult with the Stormwater Utility staff reviewer for this project. Number: 22 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: If you decide to locate sidewalks within public access easements rather than dedicating additional ROW, please clearly show and label these easements on the Plat. Clearly indicate which easements are for public access, utilities or drainage or any combination thereof. Number: 23 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Garfield shall be shown as dedicated ROW on the Plat rather than a part of the Plated property boundary. See redlines for clarification. Number: 24 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: A shared access easement is proposed to be re -dedicated for Lot 2 access off of Garfield. Half is being dedicated by this Plat but the off -site half must be by separate document. Please submit the deed of dedication for this off -site easement. Number: 25 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: Please update the month & year under the title with your next submittal and provide contact info for all owners, developer and consultants on the cover sheet. Number: 26 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] NE: It appears there are a couple general notes that have been deleted. Standard general notes should number to 48. Please review and add as needed. List all variance requests for sidewalks and utility easement widths. Number: 27 Created: 6/13/2007 Page 3 [6/13/07] Stantec: The easements shown on the Plat and Utility Plans need better clarification. The labels are inconsistent and don't match. Please review all of the proposed easements and identify if they are for utilities, public access or drainage or a combination of the three. Make sure that easement widths and labeling are consistent on all of the drawings and that they match the Plat. Number: 14 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Please clearly show and label the proposed ROW limits consistent with the legend. The City recommends that new ROW be dedicated to cover all of the new proposed sidewalks rather than dedicating public access easements. Governmental immunity to lawsuits does not apply to sidewalks within public access easements and the property owner may be at risk to any lawsuits related to the sidewalk area. The sidewalk may be located in a public access easement but the plans show that small portions of the sidewalk extend outside of the easement. All curb ramps, cross -walks, utility poles, traffic signal poles and bus shelters need to be within dedicated ROW. Number: 15 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Please provide standard directional ramps at the Doctors Lane intersection. Call out with standard LCUASS detail. Number: 16 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: The right turn lane into the parking structure needs to be shown with its own separate plan and profile that meets the LCUASS Appendix E design requirements. Please provide a design plan and profile from the north property line to the south end of the driveway entrance to the parking structure. The drainage being shown does not meet LCUASS standards. Drainage from the street shall be directed to the new curb and gutter rather than being conveyed to a flow line in the street. Please show a 2 percent cross slope extending all the way to the gutter flow line. A pan may be needed at the driveway to convey the water south and back to the existing gutter to the south. Number: 17 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/071 Stantec: Per the site meeting with BHA, additional concrete walk shall be placed on the backside of the traffic signal poles on both sides of the intersection such that pedestrians can walk behind the poles. See redlines for clarification or consult with Angie from BHA Design. Number: 18 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Where the sidewalk needs to attach to the street on Lemay, the min. width shall be 8 feet. Detached portions shall be a min. of 6 feet. Number: 19 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: The old monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk along Garfield cannot be saw cut to reconstruct a wider sidewalk. If the entire walk is to be reconstructed, new standard vertical curb and gutter must also be reconstructed.

The titles on all of the plans shall match the title on the Plat. Sub -titles may be used for each separate design if needed. This will ensure that all of the plans are filed correctly in the same location at the City. Number: 9 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Note — all structural construction drawings for the proposed pedestrian bridges shall also be included with the Utility Plan set and part of this approval. Please submit bridge drawings as soon as possible for review and include a sight distance profile from Elizabeth to Robertson to verify that the bridge over Lemay will not obstruct the view of the traffic signals. Some additional bridge construction requirements have been provided on the red -lines. Number: 10 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: Please update the month & year under the title with your next submittal and provide contact info for all owners, developer and consultants on the cover sheet. Number: 11 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: The demolition plan needs to accurately reflect which trees along Lemay will be protected and/or removed. Please consult with Angie at BHA Design regarding a recent site visit with the City to determine sidewalk locations and conflicts with existing trees to be saved. Number: 12 Created: 6/13/2007 [6/13/07] Stantec: An additional ramp and detached sidewalk should be provided on Robertson just north of the entrance into the parking structure. Show how this will tie into the existing walk on Robertson to the north. Number: 13 Created: 6/13/2007 Page 1
