Development fees and water rights will be due at time of building permit. Credit for existing services will be allowed. For further information regarding water and sewer services, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 21. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. Both the building and the skywalk will be required to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system. Both structures must be within 300 feet of a fire hydrant. Ideally, a single hydrant may be strategically placed to serve the proposed building and skywalk as well as the proposed parking structure on the north side of Garfield. It is highly recommended that the hydrant be placed along Garfield within 50 to 75 feet of the fire department connections for each building's sprinkler system in order to achieve the best possible flow and fire response time. 22. The sprinkler system must be supplied by a water line no less than six inches in diameter. The standpipe must be able to provide 100 p.s.i. to the top floor. This will likely require a supplemental fire pump. 23. A four-story building is required to have one 30-foot wide fire access roadway. This is accomplished by Garfield Street. 24. Regarding the internal fire access lane, the design may depend on whether all portions of the exterior are within 150 feet of where the fire truck will stage on Garfield. If the entire exterior is within 150 feet of Garfield, then the internal fire lane does not have to be looped. If not, then the internal fire lane needs to loop and maintain 25-foot inside and 50-foot outside minimum turning radii. 25. The new building should be addressed as the present building is now. 26. Please be aware of requirements.for stairwell signage and requirements for storing compressed gas and other potentially hazardous materials. 27. Poudre Fire Authority will soon adopt the 2006 International Fire Code. For further information regarding fire protection, please contact Carie Dann, 221-6570. s 13. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Spring Creek Drainage Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. The city wide development fee is $3,070/acre ($0.0705/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is issued. 14. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000 square feet, a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. Since the site is being completely redesigned a grading plan is required and a letter report documenting the site drainage patterns even if there is less than 1,000 square feet of new imperviousness. If there are changes in the patterns, the design engineer needs to show that there are no negative impacts or mitigate them. Documentation of existing impervious area is important for fees and drainage requirements. The maximum depth of water at an inlet in the parking lot is limited to 12 inches in depth. 15. Water quality treatment is required. Forty -hour extended detention is the preferred method. This can be done in open spaces or in the parking lot medians. Other methods including underground extended detention may be acceptable. Stormceptors could be considered but other BMPs as discussed in Volume 3 of the Denver Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual should also be explored. 16. There are storm sewers in Lemay (18-inch) and Garfield (18-inch east of the inlets and 15 inch west of the inlets). All are RCP. There are inlets on both sides of Garfield and one on the site that is connected to the storm sewer in Lemay Ave. 17. Existing mains: 12-inch water in Lemay, 6-inch water in Garfield, 8-inch sewer in easement south of site, 8-inch sewer in intersection of Garfield and Robertson. 18. The existing water/sewer services must be used or abandoned at the main. 19. Water pressure in the area is under typical demand conditions is in the 85 to 90 psi range and at peak hour usage levels drops down into the 70 to 75 psi range. Fort Collins Utilities can provide modeling to provide more accurate data. 4 4. Normal development fees and site charges will apply but credit will be given for the existing service. Any change to the existing system will be at the developer's expense. Public street lighting may already be installed. Be sure that shade trees are kept at least 40 feet and ornamental trees 15 feet away from street lights. For further information regarding electrical service, please call Janet McTague, 221-6700. 5. Any existing trees that are removed must be assessed by the City Forester. The number and size of the replacement trees will be governed by Section 3.2.1(F). Please contact Tim Buchanan at 221-6361, to set up a tree inspection. 6. It may not be necessary to dedicate additional right-of-way for Lemay and Garfield. Lemay Avenue, in this location, is considered a constrained arterial with 102 feet of total right-of-way. However, Staff remains concerned about the width the sidewalks in highly active pedestrian environment. If sidewalks remain attached, then their width must be widened beyond standard to a minimum of eight to ten feet for proper separation from the flowline. Staff recommends a site inspection to determine widening existing attached sidewalks or constructing new six- foot wide detached sidewalks separated by an eight -foot wide parkway. Please contact David Averill, 416-2643, to set up a site visit. 7. The existing shared access easement on the west must be rededicated on the replat. 8. Part of the documents needed to review the construction of the skywalks, especially on Lemay Avenue, will be a road closure plan to be reviewed by, the City Engineering and Traffic Operations Department. For further information, please contact Eric Bracke, 221-6630. 9. The developer.is responsible for replacing any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk. 10. The new building will be assessed the City's Street Oversizing Fee and the Larimer County Road Impact Fee. Credit will be given for the existing building that is to be demolished. 11. The Engineering Department is available to set up and facilitate a utility coordination meeting prior to submittal to resolve any potential conflicts. 12. The P.D.P. submittal will include a Utility Plan. Final Compliance will include a Development Agreement and Development Construction Permit. For further information regarding the requirements of the Engineering Department, please contact Randy Maizland, 221-6605. 3 ITEM: Poudre Valley Hospital Medical Office Building MEETING DATE: April 30, 2007 APPLICANT: Poudre Valley Hospital c/o Mrs. Angie Milewski, BHA Design, 4803 Innovation Drive, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request to redevelop the southwest corner of Lemay Avenue and Garfield Street for a new four-story Medical Office Building. The existing building would be demolished and the new building would contain approximately 60,000 square feet. An enclosed pedestrian bridge would span Garfield Street and connect to the third floor of the proposed P.V.H. Parking Structure and the Hospital. In addition to medical office, P.V.H. would occupy a portion of the building for administrative offices. The site is 1.6 acres in size and zoned E, Employment. COMMENTS: The site is presently zoned E, Employment. Medical and administrative offices are permitted uses. Since the building exceeds 50,000 square feet, the project is subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board (Type Two). Please note that the maximum number of parking is 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area. 2. The site will be served electrical power by the City of Fort Collins Utilities. Three phase power is available from an existing vault along Lemay. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form will be required to be completed by a licensed electrical contractor to determine the load and panel size. 3. The size and location of the transformer will need to be evaluated. The location of a new transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power such that it is within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change -out. The transformer must be screened from view from the public streets by landscaping or by an enclosure that provides the minimum clearance specifications. 2 COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N.
