Lemay Proposal: 100 acre city park to include 2 lighted softball diamonds, 2 lighted tennis courts,and a future recreation center with indoor & outdoor swimming pools and outdoor ice skating area. Also included is a possible pedestrian underpass under Lemay at the southern end of the park. Comments: Power is available from an existing electric system along Lemay and also one on Fossil Creek Parkway. Will need a Commercial Service (C- 1) form, and to coordinate power requirements for each point of service. The existing concrete encased electric duct bank along Lemay may affect how/if the pedestrian underpass is constructed. Normal electric development charges (except square footage charge) and policies will apply. Costs to relocate existing facilities if necessary will be additional. Title: Single family residential (one house) Location: Tract C of Granada Hills (N. end of the site) Proposal: One S.F. house with possible `loft' residence Comments: Nearest power is at E. side of Hanna at Pomona St. Primary service from that point to a new transformer location will apply in addition to normal electric development charges (estimated >$15,000). Also will need permit to cross the Arthur Ditch. Note, this site had many other problems such as serious flood plain issues that most likely will preclude any development on the site. Title: 2Id house on existing lot Location: 338 E. Pitkin (rear) Proposal: Add garage with upstairs apartment on rear of existing lot Comments: Existing electric service may need to be relocated. New electric service must be underground. Normal electric development charges and policies will apply. Please return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of your revisions. The number of copies of revisions for each document to be resubmitted is on the attached Revisions Routing Sheet. Please contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions or concerns related to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with you as. soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments. Sincerely, A�W Steve Olt Project Planner xc: Engineering Zoning Stormwater Utility Light 8s Power Poudre Fire Authority Transportation Planning Traffic Operations Natural Resources Advance Planning Parks Planning J-R Engineering Project File #44-00 28. There are new flows in Fossil Creek that must be taken into account. 29. The standard drainage, grading, and erosion control information must be provided for review. The information previously submitted constitutes about 50% of the standard. Therefore, the comments from City staff reflect about 50%. Natural Resources (Doug Moore & Kim Kreimever) 30. The plans do not have the required natural habitat buffers labeled. A 100' setback from Fossil Creek is required. 31. The existing wetlands on -site are jurisdictional. 32. Is the intersection point for the access from Fossil Creek Parkway into the park already set? The driveway probably should be moved further south to provide adequate separation from Fossil Creek. 33. A Nationwide 404 Permit will be required for any disturbance of the existing wetlands. A mitigation plan for the wetland is required by the Feds. 34. The plan does not comply with Section 3.4.1(E)(3) of the LUC pertaining to the average setback from the required natural area buffer. This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments could be forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing agencies. Under the new development review process and schedule there is a 90-day plan revision resubmittal time -frame (from the applicant to the City) mandated by the City. The 90-day turnaround period begins on the date of this comment letter (January 17, 2001) prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department. In this case, a resubmittal must be made no later than 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17, 2001. Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the revisions. At this staff review meeting the item will be discussed and it will be determined if the project is ready to go to a public hearing before an Administrative Hearing Officer or the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. 14. Will the City take over the park and/or trail in Fossil Creek Meadows? It is Staffs understanding that the City may take over the trail only and incorporate it into their trail system. 15. More details are needed regarding who is doing what with the trails. Transportation Planning (Tom Reiff & Kathleen Reavis) 16. The potential left turn into the park from Fossil Creek .Parkway needs further consideration. 17. Is the access to the park from South Lemay Avenue to be a full movement intersection? If so, a left turn lane onto northbound Lemay Avenue may be needed. This would require widening of the entrance. 18. The meandering sidewalks through the main parking lot on the east side of the park are not the best solution to pedestrian movement. 19. The bicycle parking needs to be better distributed and placed. 20. Show the ultimate realignment of South Lemay Avenue on the Site Plan. 21. There is a proposed bicycle/pedestrian (Lemay Trail) underpass at South Lemay Avenue. When and how will it be built? Is it part of the park plan or is it part of the Fossil Creek Trail system? 22. How the surface street bicycle/pedestrian crossings on South Lemay Avenue are going to be done is not yet addressed. 23. How will emergency access through the site be provided? It may be necessary to design a pathway to accommodate emergency vehicles. 24. What intersections will be signalized? Stormwater Utility (Basil Hamdan) 25. The driveway from Fossil Creek Parkway into the park is right along the buffer zone for Fossil Creek. An erosion buffer is needed. 26. Delineate the erosion buffer zones on the utility plans. 27. The SWMM Modeling, as submitted, is not adequate. 6. Laurie D'Audney, the City's Utility Education Specialist, stated that she has no comments at this time: regarding the City's irrigation and water conservation standards. 7. The Water/Wastewater Department stated that this park site will be served by the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District. Please contact them directly for their water and sanitary sewer service requirements. 8. Craig Foreman of the Parks Planning Department stated that they have no concerns or comments regarding this development proposal. The following comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly Staff Review meeting on January 17, 2001: Engineering (Marc Virata) 9. The condition of the utility plans constitute, generally, a 50% submittal. Therefore, the Engineering Department comments are general in nature. 10. On the utility plans, the private drives are shown as "radius style". Section 3.6.2(L)(2)(e) of the Land Use Code (LUC)states: "The connection of a private drive with a public street shall be made with a driveway cut using a "New Driveway Approach" in accordance with city street standards." A request for a modification to this standard must be submitted to the City for review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. A Code change to this standard may be taken to City Council this spring (2001); therefore, Staff will help the applicant write this modification request. 11. The approved design for Fossil Creek Parkway, along the west side of the park, should be shown on the utility plans. Please contact Matt Baker, at 224-6108, for this information. 12. The traffic study has some problems. The driveway from the west parking lot on -site to Fossil Creek Parkway may have to move further south to allow for a left turn lane into the park. If this is to happen, can the existing wetlands be mitigated? 13. South Lemay Avenue is part of the City's 2020 Transit Plan.
