Home My WebLink AboutKMART PLAZA, FULLER'S TEXACO - PDP - 38-97A - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)ATTACHMENT B Instructions for completing an Annual Water Use Chart 1. Use the Water Use Chart below, including notes, as an example of what the City of Fort Collins requires to be included on an irrigation plan. 2. The discharge figures for each lateral can be calculated by summing the appropriate discharge values in the manufacturer's catalogs for the specified sprinklers, bubblers or drip emitters. 3. Irrigated areas for each lateral can be calculated using a scale and/or planimeter. This should be a "best estimate," splitting areas between zones as necessary. For drip irrigation, the irrigated area should approximate the area actually wetted by the emitters. As a general guideline, you can use one square foot for each perennial. four square,feet for each shrub and twelve square feet for each tree. 4. To calculate precipitation rate (inches per hour), multiply the discharge (gallons per minute) times the conversion factor of 46.26, and then divide by the irrigated area (square feet).'" 5. The average annual depth of irrigation can be determined by referring to Attachment A. 6. The annual volume of water (gallons) can be determined by multiplying the irrigated area (square feet) by the average annual depth of irrigation (inches), and then dividing by the conversion factor 1.6. 7. The annual cost for the water is determined by multiplying the volume of water by the applicable water rate. It is the responsibility of the irrigation designer to find out which water district serves the project, and to make sure the current water rate is used in the calculation. The water districts are: City of Fort Collins, 221-6681; ELCO, 493-2044; and Fort Collins -Loveland, 226-3104.

The Advance Planning Department offered the following comments: a) The site plan needs to be rearranged to better meet the purposes of (1) Building Standards regarding WHAT the building faces onto and what the street front consists of; and (2) Site Planning standards for pedestrian circulation and access. b) The building as shown is completely surrounded by parking lots and driveways. The canopy along the public street would add to an already overwhelming image of auto -related commercial uses. The plaza is emphasized in the letter but it appears to be a leftover strip isolated from streets and buildings by parking lots and driveways for the gas pumps and car wash. See the enclosed sketch diagram of an alternative approach which makes progress toward meeting the Code requirements and purposes. It looks like it might be helpful to meet with the applicant to discuss the many competing objectives and the need for a fundamentally different layout than the one submitted. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please provide a written response. to each of the above stated comments with the submittal of plan revisions. Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have any questions or concerns that are related to the comments. If you would like to schedule a meeting, please call me as soon as possible. Revisions may be submitted at any time. With the submittal of revisions, please include the enclosed redlined plans. The number of revisions required is attached. Best regards, Leanne A.

A pressure reducing valve shall be installed on the mainline, or as a feature of the remote control valves, if it is anticipated that the operating pressure at any spray sprinkler. minus the maximum recommended pressure for that particular sprinkler, is equal to 20 psi or more. 14. A rain sensor shall be installed with each irrigation system, in order to interrupt irrigation in the event of a significant rainfall. 15. When drip irrigation is used, emitter discharges within any single zone shall not vary by more than 5%. If necessary because of long runs and/or elevation changes, pressure -compensating ='* r..

With a square pattern layout, sprinklers shall be spaced no further apart than 1.0 times the manufacturer's published radius of throw. 18. With a triangular spacing layout, sprinklers shall be spaced no further apart than 1.1 times the manufacturer's published radius of throw. Hydraulic considerations 19. Where Kentucky Bluegrass and/or Perennial Ryegrass is used for turfgrass, the tap size shall be sufficiently sized to deliver 0.25 inches of irrigation water over the turfgrass area within an 8- hour period. Where Turf -type Tall Fescue is used, the tap size shall be sufficiently sized to deliver 0.20 inches of irrigation water over the turfgrass area within an 8-hour period. For special circumstances, the City may allow exceptions to this standard. (See Attachment Q 20. The maximum system discharge shall be less than or equal to the maximum allowable, relative to the meter size, as determined by the City of Fort Collins Water Utilities. This shall be as follows: 3/4" - 10 gpm, 1" - 25 gpm, 1-1/2" - 50 gpm, 2" - 80 gpm, 3" - 160 gpm. These maximum discharges assume a disk -type meter. In certain cases of irrigation -only taps that are 1-1/2" or larger, turbine meters are allowed, which have somewhat higher maximum discharge limits. Contact the Water Utilities for more information. 21. The maximum velocities shall be less than or equal to 5.0 feet per second for mainline pipe and less than or equal to 7.5 feet per second for lateral pipe. (See Attachment Q 22. The irrigation system shall be designed such that the point -of -connection design pressure, minus the possible system pressure losses, is greater than or equal to the design sprinkler operating pressure. (See Attachment D) 23. The lateral pipe shall be sized such that there is less than or equal to a 10% variation between the highest and lowest sprinkler operating pressures on a zone. 4. On steep grades, an irrigation method with a lower precipitation rate shall be used, in order to minimize runoff. If practical, these areas shall be zoned separately. 5. When practical, areas with significantly different solar exposures shall be zoned separately. 6. Different types of irrigation equipment (drip, micro -spray, spray, rotary, etc.) shall not be combined on the same zone. Only drip and micro -spray equipment may be on the same zone. 7. As much as practical, the irrigation method shall be selected to correlate with the plant density. For example, drip irrigation or bubblers should be used for sparsely -planted trees and shrubs, and sprinklers should be used for turfgrass. 8. The type of sprinkler and associated nozzles should be selected to correlate with the size and geometry of the zone being irrigated. For example, pop-up spray sprinklers should be used for smaller and more chopped up areas. As a rule of thumb, sprinklers should' be spaced no closer than 75% of the maximum radius of throw for the given sprinkler and nozzle. Equipment selection 9. A master valve should be installed on all irrigation systems with a tap of 2 inches or larger. 10. For irrigation systems that are on a combined -use tap, with a water meter installed further upstream to measure total water use, the installation of an irrigation -only submeter should be considered. This submeter would enable the owner and landscape maintenance contractor to more easily determine water use for irrigation, and would not be used for billing purposes. The cost of installation and maintenance of the submeter shall be borne by the owner of the property, and not by the City. All such submeters shall be installed in accordance with the specifications established by the City of Fort Collins Water Utilities ,,L, 11. The irrigation controller shall have a minimum of the following capabilities: a. multiple program b. percent watering C. multiple starts per day d. enough stations to prevent the necessity of combining zones on a single station that have dissimilar water requirements or precipitation rates, or exceed the hydraulic limitations of the tap 12. Sprinklers and nozzles shall meet the following requirements: a. spray sprinklers in turf areas shall have a minimum 3-1/2 inch pop-up riser height. b. coverage arcs and radius of throw shall be selected and adjusted to water only vegetated areas and minimize overspray onto hard -surfaces, buildings, fences, etc. C. sprinklers, bubblers, or emitters on a zone shall be of the same manufacturer. Spray sprinklers on a zone shall have matched precipitation nozzles. Nozzles for rotary sprinklers on a zone shall approximate a uniform precipitation rate. d. check valves shall be used on all low-lying sprinklers with 3 feet or more of lateral pipe head against them, and on all sprinklers along sidewalks. is r City of Fort Collins IRRIGATION SYSTEM STANDARDS for Water Conservation Irrigation Plan 10194 I. If areas of planting are extensive, the installation of an underground irrigation system shall be required and an irrigation plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City, prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy. If no building permit is required, the plan is due prior to commencing construction. If the water requirements of the plants are low enough to be met with natural precipitation, and if a means of temporary irrigation is available to establish the plants, the City may waive the requirement for an underground irrigation system. When required, the irrigation plan shall be accurate and clear, drawn to the same scale as the associated landscape plan, and include the following: a. an annual Water Use Chart that includes: the square footage of irrigation zones, lateral precipitation- rates (inches/hour), and seasonal water use and cost. The seasonal water use data shall reflect the water requirements of the plants identified in the landscape plan associated with the irrigation plan. The irrigation plan shall reference the specific landscape plan, with its date and the designer's name. (See AttachmentB) b_ a general note stating the point -of -connection design pressure and the peak flow. For example, the system design assumes a minimum dynamic pressure for the irrigation system of 75 psi at a maximum discharge of 50 gpm at the 1-1/2-inch tap and point - of -connection. The irrigation contractor shall verify pressure and flow on the site prior to construction. C. the design criteria to assist the installer with field adjustments, in a general note or in the legend. The criteria shall include the sprinkler and nozzle specifications, the sprinkler discharge at the design operating pressure, and the maximum distance between sprinklers. d. a general note stating that, Any field adjustment or redesign of this irrigation system must conform to the City of Fort Collins Irrigation Standards. e. in the specifications, or as a general note, a requirement for the contractor installing the system to provide the owner with as -built drawings after installation is complete. f. details of the installation method for bubblers or drip emitters, when the irrigation design includes these components. It must also include the number and discharge rate of emitters or bubblers per type of plant material. Irrigation methods and layout 2. Where untreated, raw water is available from a nearby irrigation ditch or lake, it should be considered as a possible water source. 3. As much as practical, plants with dissimilar water requirements shall not be irrigated on the same zone. For example, turfgrass areas should be on separate zones from planting beds.

When necessary, such as between sidewalk and street, use lower water -requiring plants. Natural Area Preservation 9. If there are portions of the site that are worthy of preservation, the alternative of leaving them undisturbed or with only slight improvements should be considered. The worthiness of such sites shall be determined by the City's Natural Resources Director. a 901 Other good practices for water -efficient landscapes, but not required • Have a testing laboratory analyze the nutrient and fertilizer needs of the soil. For most soils, add at least 3 cubic yards of compost per 1,000 square feet. Rototil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. • Consider using lower water -requiring turf and ornamental grasses. Turf -type Tall Fescue is often a good substitute for Kentucky Bluegrass. For areas where a natural look is desired, Buffalograss, Blue Grama, Little Bluestem, Sideoats Grama, Smooth Brome, Crested Wheatgrass or Western Wheatgrass can be good choices. For more information about these grasses, call the CSU Department of Horticulture at 491-7019. City of Fort Collins Water Conservation Standards for LANDSCAPING and IRRIGATION SYSTEMS General Information 7/96 What are the water conservation standards? There are two separate standards for water conservation: (1) Landscaping and (2) Irrigation Systems. The standards for Landscaping promote the installation of landscapes that require less water. The standards for Irrigation Systems ensure irrigation systems are designed to apply water efficiently to meet the needs of the landscape. What projects are subject to the standards? All projects within the city limits that are required to. submit a landscape plan to the City as part of the development review process. In general, this includes all commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi -family projects. Duplexes are also included when'they are part of a planned unit development. The standards apply to common areas of single- family developments, but do not apply to single-family residential lots. What do I have to do tocomply with the Landscaping standards? Submit a landscape plan as part of the development review process. The plan must meet the requirements in the document, Landscaping Standards for Water Conservation before the development plan is approved. What do I have to do to comply with the Irrigation System standards? Submit an irrigation plan as part of the construction permit review process. The plan must meet the requirements spelled out in the document, Irrigation System Standards for Water Conservation. The City will review the plan, and then inspect the system after installation. The irrigation plan and system inspection must be approved by the City before a certificate of occupancy is issued. If construction of the irrigation system is delayed until after construction is completed, a certificate of occupancy can be issued only with an acceptable bond deposited with the City. How strict are the standards? The standards most important to water conservation are mandatory requirements, identified with the word shall. Other standards are more flexible, they use the phrases should or to the extent practical. These are enforced on a case -by -case basis. Where do I get more information? Call the Water Utilities at 221-6681. a IZ J Plants and Design ❑ 4. To the extent practical, plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped together on the same irrigation zones. P ❑ 5. The landscape shall be designed with efficient irrigation layout in mind. For example, the dimensions of turfgrass areas should be in multiples of the radius of throw of the specified sprinklers, and the geometry is such that overspray is minimized. ❑ 6. Steep grades shall be minimized. Where steep grades are necessary, the landscape shall be designed to minimize water runoff and to take advantage of the water that does run off. ❑ 7. Where south -facing berms of 25% slope or greater exist, the plants used should be lower water - requiring species. ❑ 8. Narrow landscaped strips (less than 8' wide) shall be minimized. Where necessary, such as between sidewalk and street, they should be planted with lower water -requiring plant species.

However, if the applicant does decide to pursue the reverse mode layout, a modification request is not necessary and the project remains an administrative review rather than review by the Planning and Zoning Board. t) According the Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c ),"Canopy shade trees shall constitute at least fifty (50) percent of all tree plantings." Therefore, you are required to place more canopy shade trees on the site and reduce the number of ornamental trees. Alternative compliance is available for Section 3.2.1, and any request for such must comply with Section 3.2.1(N). u) The trash collection area shall be screened according to the requirements of the Land Use Code.

It may be possible that the building could be rotated 90 degrees and would accomplish the purposes of the standard without necessitating a request for modification. There appears to be potential conflict between the entrance off of Drake and the first access point into the site. The redesign could accommodate the entrance further to the north, and allow for the building to meet the build -to standard, as well as better accommodate pedestrian circulation from Drake Road, and provide space for water quality treatment (which is required by Stormwater Utility). If the applicant decides that redesign in not an option, please be aware that it is likely that staff will not recommend approval of the modification request to the Planning and Zoning Board as the request does not demonstrate that the plan as submitted N 0 a) Please add a general note on details of the lighting.
