HomeMy WebLinkAboutREDTAIL - MAJOR AMENDMENT - 26-01B - CORRESPONDENCE - (4)If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at 221-6341. Yours Truly, Oteve Olt City Planner cc: Susan Joy Louise Herbert/VF Ripley Tricia Kroetch/North Star Design Current Planning file #26-01B Page 9 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic: Stormwater Number: 20 Created: 5/ 1 / 2007 [5/ 1 /07] Please include the amended letter in the original drainage report. Original report can be retrieved from Stormwater so that no new reports have to be produced (my contribution to earth day). Please explain, in the amended letter explicitly what pipe sizes were changed from the original design in order to accommodate the increased flows. The private pipe running behind lot 6 is within a 5 foot drainage easement. This is too narrow to allow any maintenance on this pipe. Since the pipe is shallow a minimum of a 10-foot wide easement should be provided in this case. Please extend easement to tie into row where the pipe bends to tie into the inlet on Conejos drive. Please add spot elevations in the rear of Lot 6 to ensure proper drainage is maintained. Add top and bottom of wall elevations. All sheets that are being changed should show all original information, that will remain valid after these changes as well as the new information. All changes should.be bubbled. Revision block title should describe the proposed changes. Department: Zoning Topic: Zoning Number: 32 [5/2/07] Issues resolved - ok. Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Created: 5/2/2007 This represents staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Additional comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. There are several issues that must be resolved before this item can go the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision; therefore, another round of staff review is determined to be necessary. This proposal is subject to the 90- day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being May 4, 2007) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you re -submit The number of copies of each document to re -submit is shown on the attached Revisions Routing Sheet. Page 8 These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. 97UFC 901.2.2.2 Number: 2 Created: 4 / 23 / 2007 [4/23/07] SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS: These proposed buildings shall be equipped with approved, automatic fire -sprinkler systems. Number; 3 Created: 4/23/2007 [4/23/07] FIRE LINE REQUIREMENT: Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered shall have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a smaller fire line. Number: 4 Created: 4 / 23 / 2007 [4/23/07] KNOX BOX REQUIRED: Poudre Fire Authority requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system. 97UFC 902.4; PFA BUREAU POLICY 88-20 Number: 5 Created: 4 / 23 / 2007 [4/23/07] FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: Fire department connections shall be installed remote from the buildings, and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access or as otherwise approved by the fire code official. If possible, a fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the FDC. 2006 International Fire Code 912.2.1 and PFA Bureau Policy Number: 6 Created: 4 / 23 / 2007 [4/23/07] STANDPIPES AND FIRE PUMP: Buildings four or more stories in height are required to be equipped with firefighting standpipes in every stairwell. The standpipe system must be capable of supplying a minimum 100 psi to the top floor; an approved fire pump may be required to obtain this minimum pressure.

Thanks!! Topic: Utility Plans Number: 27 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] Please refer to detail and sheet number when involving anything in or affecting the public row. Number: 28 Created: 5/ 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] Please provide tow, bow spots for all new retaining walls. Depending on the height, we may require the actual design to be included in the plan set. For instance, a new retaining wall is proposed by the gazebo north of Cameron Drive. Does it have a footing? If so, the footing needs to be located outside of the utility easement. Also, please refer to detail and sheet number for the appropriate retaining wall section. Number: 29 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] Tricia - have we raised any of the utilities under the roads so that we now have a cover issue (per 12.2.2)? Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric Utility Number: 9 Created: 4 / 24 / 2007 [4/24/07] Developer will need to provide a completed Commercial Service (C-1) Form to Light 8s Power Engineering. This form is available by calling Electric Engineering at 221-6700. The developer will also need to coordinate revised transformer locations with Light & Power Engineering. The sizes and requirements for commercial transformer pads are different than what was required for the previous residential plan. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 1 Created: 4 / 23 / 2007 [4/23/071 WATER SUPPLY: Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include: Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter; residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800- foot centers thereafter; residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than'400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter. Page 6 Topic: Utility Plans Number: 31 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] A copy of a letter from Terry Farrill, District Engineer for the Fort Collins -Loveland Water and South Fort Collins Sanitation Districts, is attached to this comment letter. The Districts will provide water and sanitary sewer services to this development so please contact Mr. Farrill directly about their requirements. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 19 Created: 5/ l/2007 [5/ 1/07] From Technical Services: The site and landscape plans have type over lines. Please correct to meet our scanning requirements. Number: 21 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] We'll handle all of the changes to the original approved utility drawings as revisions so you'll need to bubble out the changes you made on each sheet. I think I found most of the changes and made as many comments as I could, but I may have missed a few differences in the plan sets. There MAY be an additional comment or two on the next round after I see the bubbling though. I'm not sure that I found each change. Number: 22 Created: 5/ 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] The building on Lot 8 is located outside of the platted building envelope and within a utility easement. Please provide a written vacation request plus a completed TDRF application and the associated fee. I will route the vacation request to the various utilities and get back to you as soon as they approve or deny it. Once we've received the paperwork, this process takes 2 to 3 weeks including mail time. You do NOT have to wait until the next submittal to do this. You can submit the paperwork anytime and I'll get it out within a day or two. Number: 23 Created: 5/ 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] Scanning issues exist. This does not need to be addressed until mylars, but just wanted to make you aware of it early on. Number: 26 Created: 5/ 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] We will need to amend the original Development Agreement for Redtail where the number of building permits change and effect certain payments or construction of certain improvements. We can work through that in Final Compliance - it does not need to be addressed prior to hearing. Number: 30 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] Please remove the no parking striping in front of the ped ramp on the northwest corner of Cameron and Conejos. Page 5 Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 35 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] With the change from building sites to parking lots, additional screening is required in the buffer zone to meet Section 3.4.1(E)(1) of the LUC. The organized plant beds next to the parking lot edges should transition into informal plantings for a more natural setting. Refer to the red -lines for the locations where additional plant material is needed. Topic: Photometric Plans Number: 36 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] The proposed fixtures on the east and south edges of the new parking lots adjacent to the buffer areas are to be screened from the buffer area and the adjacent City owned natural area with house -side shields. To meet the standards in 3.4.1(E)(1) of the LUC, the actual fixture is to be screened as a mitigation measure adjacent to the wetlands and natural areas. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Site Plan Number: 10 Created: 5/ 1 /2007 [5/ l/07] The office buildings are to be 53' in height. A Special Building Height Review is necessary for all buildings over 40' in height, regardless of the allowable height in any zoning district, and this is not optional. This is set forth in Section 3.5.1(G) of the Land Use Code. The submittal requirements for the height review are set forth in Section 3.5.1(G) (1) (b) of the LUC. Number: 11 Created: 5/ 1 / 2007 [5/ 1/07] The maximum "general" office parking allowed by code is 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of leasable floor area, not 4.5 spaces as indicated on the Major Amendment Site Plan. Please see the red -lined Site Plan for additional comments about the parking on -site. Number: 12 Created: 5 / 1 / 2007 [5/ 1/07] As noted in the narrative as submitted, a portion of Building 4 is outside of Lot 5 and encroaches into Tract B, a utility, drainage, and public access easement. That portion of the easement would have to be vacated, either by separate document or a replat. Number: 13 Created: 5/ 1 /2007 [5/ 1 /07] The building square footage shown in the building footprints on the Site Plan is different than the building square footage indicated in the LAND USE STATISTICS table. It would make the information on the plan clearer if the numbers in the building footprints (6,300 sq. ft. and 5,060 sq. ft.) included the word Footprint under the numbers. Page 4 Environmental Planner/ Dana Leavitt a. Please provide an existing conditions plan, showing the wetlands and wetlands buffer, with all changes from the approved & recorded plan and this Major Amendment plan identified. Poudre Fire Authority/Cane Dann a. All of the buildings must be fire sprinklered. Where are the fire hydrants? Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: General Number: 33 Created: 5 / 2 / 2007 [5/2/07] When the revised "bubble" areas have been submitted to Engineering, I will review and comment on relationship to limit of impacts from approved plans. Topic: Grading Sheet Number: 34 . Created: 5/2/2007 [5/2/07] With.the plan changing from a building to a parking lot where the original Lot 2 and 3 were is it possible to use a retaining wall to reduce the grading impacts within the buffer zone? Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 14 Created: 5 / 1 / 2007 [5 / 1 / 07] One additional street tree must be included in the parkway in front of Building 4, Lot 5. Number: 15 Created: 5/ 1 / 2007 [5/ 1/07] Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be labeled in the building footprints on the Landscape Plan. Number: 37 Created: 5 / 4 / 2007 [5/4/07] Additional landscaping is needed for screening of the parking lots on Lot 2, Lot 4, and Lot 8 (see red -lined plans). Number: 38 Created: 5 / 4 / 2007 [5/4/07] The proposed Buffalo Juniper and Hancock Coralberry really do not provide enough height to properly screen the parking lots. Please look for alternatives to both of these plant materials. Page 3 Number: 39 Created: 5 / 4 / 2007 [5/4/07] The following comments were expressed at Staff Review on May 2, 2007: Engineering/Susan Joy a. The original Development Agreement for the Redtail project will need to be amended. b. The utility plan changes will be done as revisions to the recorded utility plan set. c. Because of the proposed encroachment of Building 4, Lot 5 into Tract B - Utility, Drainage, and Public Access Easement, it would be cleaner and easier to replat this portion of Redtail with the Major Amendment. d. Top of Wall and Bottom of Wall elevations are needed for any new retaining walls. Zoning/Peter Barnes a. This portion of the Redtail development must be replatted or a portion of Tract B - Utility, Drainage, and Public access Easement must be vacated by separate document to allow a portion of Building 4, Lot 5 to encroach into what is now Tract B. Stormwater/Basil Hamdan a. The amounts of imperviousness and runoff have gone up with this Major Amendment plan. These increases must be satisfactorily addressed and resolved. b. More spot elevations are needed along the west side of the buildings. c. Only a 5' wide easement currently exists for the storm sewer. More easement may be needed. Light & Power/Janet McTague a. The transformer locations must be identified and the electric load needs must be determined. Transportation Planning/David Averill a. Please add a bicycle rack for Building 4 Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins Lagunitas Redtail, Inc Date: 05/04/2007 c/o Jon Prouty 3944 JFK Parkway, Suite 12E Fort'Collins, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for REDTAIL, MAJOR AMENDMENT - TYPE 2, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Elevations Plan Number: 16 Created: 5/ 1 / 2007 [5/ 1/07] The Elevations sheet contains only one "Typical' Building Elevation. Does this mean that all 3 of the other sides will look almost identical to this elevation? Typically City staff wants to see all 4 sides of a building. Number: 17 Created: 5/ 1 /2007 [5/ 1 /07] The one building elevation provided presents a very monolithical structure, without well-defined materials and colors on the plan, that would not seem to blend in well with the context of the site and its relationship to the natural areas adjacent to it. It is important that the applicant evaluate the proposed buildings against the Building and Project Compatibility criteria and standards set forth in Section 3.5.1 of the Land Use Code. How will these buildings relate to the existing buildings in Cameron Office Park and the future residential buildings in Redtail? Topic: General Number: 18 Created: 5/ 1/2007 [5/ 1 / 07] The name of the plan set containing the Site Plan, Landscape Plans, Elevations Plan, and Lighting Plan should be changed to say "Major Amendment # 1 to REDTAIL" to differentiate these plans from the already approved and recorded set of REDTAIL plans. They will be recorded with the existing plans, including the subdivision plat. This is essentially a "new" project, changing this portion of the development from residential to office/restaurant uses. Also, it is imperative that a new date (probably 4/ 11 /07, the submittal date) be included in the REVISED portion. of the title block, at the lower right hand corner of the sheets. This is how these plans will be distinguished from the original plans so that someone looking at the REDTAIL plans will know that a change was made and what can actually be built on this portion of the development.
