No Text 166 Safety concerns have arisen regarding the proposed bike path design where it diverts off of Horsetooth Road and then crosses Stanford in the crosswalk. In order to improve safety and prevent potential accidents with right turning vehicles please provide the following measures; 1) Signs (2) along Horsetooth Road that informs both cyclists and motor vehicles that the bike lane ends - the signs should be spaced to provide sufficient time to acknowledge and prepare, 2) The off-street bike path surface should be treated in a manner to slow cyclists and alert them to their new surroundings, 3) And a sign informing cyclists that they must dismount their bike in the crosswalk (see red lines). Furthermore, the path will serve only one way bike traffic, please narrow the width to aid in the reduction of bike speeds. 170 Regarding comment #166. I realize that the site design reflects earlier staff comments, but subsequent analysis from bike/pedestrian planners have resulted in safety concerns. Hence the request for redesign. of this piece. Please contact Tom Reiff in Transportation Planning at (970) 416- 2040 for further information. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General 112 Repeat comment: Are 1.5" water services adequate for these size of buildings? Provide flow demand calculations for our review. Topic: Utilityplans 94 Water mains may not be joint deflected to a depth of 8 feet. Use fittings to lower the proposed 8-inch water main in Horsetooth. Provide all information necessary for the lowering. Now that the storm sewer and water main have been raised to the bury depth of 6.5 feet, joint deflection is the preferred method of lowering. If a fitting lowering is still to be used then provide a complete detail of the lowering. Items #45 (Engineering), #165 (Stormwater), and #170 (Transportation Planning) appear to be the primary deterrents to scheduling this item for an administrative public hearing. Once addressed and resolved to the City's satisfaction we can schedule a hearing date. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6341. Yours Truly, Steve Olt, City Planner Page 5 97UFC902.4 PFAPOLICY88-20 SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS: These proposed buildings shall be fire sprinklered. A fire pump may also be required, as well as standpipes for the building and the parking garage below grade. 97UBC Ventilation System: A 2-stage ventilation system shall be provided for the parking garage below grade. Stage One shall be tied to a Carbon Monoxide Detection System that will detect carbon monoxide at 50ppm over 8 hours and/or 200ppm over 1 hour and ventilate the garage. Stage Two shall provide ventilation for smoke removal in the event of a car fire. UBC1202.2.7 Department: Stormwater Utility Topic: Ditch Company Approval 87 Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Prior to allowing additional discharge from this site into Warren Lake, the Warren Lake Ditch company must sign off on these plans. Topic: Easements 129 The drainage pan proposed on the north end of the site extends into neighboring property. Please provide a drainage easement for that pan. If the existing easement on the Strachan Subdivision First Filing is to be used, then please provide a written approval from the owners of that property for the construction activities that are to take place within that existing easement. Topic: Hearing 165 This project is ready for hearing from Stormwater's perspective as soon as letter of intent is obtained for the drainage easement on the Aspen Leaf Apts. property, and when the City forester indicates that he is satisfied with the tree protection measures that are needed to protect the large conifer tree that is close to the storm sewer outfall into Warren Lake. Topic: Storm Line Across Horsetooth 118 It seems that the proposed storm line across Horsetooth Rd could impact the existing Evergreen tree on the south side of Horsetooth. Please add tee protection measures such as construction fencing to the utility plans, please add tree protection notes to the utility plans (not only the landscape plans) as directed by the City forester. Topic: Storm Line El 163 It seems that the publicly maintained Storm Line E1 will be crossing a landscaping planter box. Please add a note that it is the responsibility of the developer to replace that box and the landscaping if that line would need to be dug up by the City in the future. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Mark Jackson Topic: General 108 Can we provide appropriate signage warning motorists of the mid -block pedestrian crossing? Page 4 Topic: Utilityplans 154 Portions of Building C and a wall appear to be within the existing City Sanitary Sewer Easement. If this encroachment is allowed by City utilities, it would appear that portions of this easement would at least have to be vacated because of the building. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric 148 Light & Power Engineering will need to see detailed drawings showing the electric services to buildings A & B before the electric system is installed (this is NOT a condition of PDP approval). Topic: Utilityplans 147 Two electric transformers are shown on the utility plan north of building A. Only one transformer will be needed at this location unless 2 different service voltages are required. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Ron Gonzales Topic: Fire 157 Fire sprinkler fire department connections shall be located on the fire lane side of all the buildings. This is to be verified at the time of building permit plan review. Topic: General 145 Although these towers do not technically meet the height requirements stipulated in 97UBC for the High -Rise Provisions, the PFA would request the applicant consider installing as many of these provisions for the safety of the occupants and the building. See 97UBC403 Topic: Plat 57 REQUIRED ACCESS: Due to the proposed heights of these edifices, a 30 foot wide fire lane is required for aerial operations. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. 97UFC901.2.2.1;901.3;901.4.2;902.2.1 Admin.Policy85-5; FCLUC 3.6.6(D)3 ADDRESS NUMERALS Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of 6 inch numerals on a contrasting background. The property shall be addressed from Stanford Drive. An address marquis shall be provided with 8" numerals. (Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable).97UFC901.4.4 WATER SUPPLY Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1500 gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. No commercial building can be greater than 300 feet from a fire hydrant. 97UFC901.2.2.2 Knox Box Policy 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. Page 3 not enough grade on the sidewalk in this area. 1/4" per foot cross slope sloped to the street (for public sidewalk) is required to be maintained on Horsetooth and Stanford, why is this proposed otherwise? Please provide LCUASS Standard Drawing 7-20B in the details sheet. [1/15] Detail 7-20B was not provided. 158 Coordinate the name of the project, is it "Bellavista PDP" or "Bella Vista PDP"? Ensure the title is consistent on all documents. [1115] "Bella Vista" is still shown on the site/PDP plans Topic: Grading 45 Offsite grading and construction is shown occurring along the northern boundary of the site. A letter of intent from the property owner not objecting to the offsite work is required to be submitted prior to any public hearing for the project. [8/21] An unsigned Grant of Easement document was received. Per Stormwater, the document in concept is not acceptable. The necessary easement needs to be dedicated to the City using our standard City deed of dedication language. Also, because the Grant of Easement was unsigned, this does not serve as a letter of intent, which is required prior to any hearing for the project. [11/20] Checking with Current Planning, a letter of intent was apparently not received Topic: Street Design 71 Three variance requests were received regarding Bella Vista from Northern Engineering. The variance requesting the reduction in sight distance along Stanford Drive, the variance to reduce the driveway spacing from 660' to 610', and the variance to reduce the utility easement along Horsetooth were all viewed favorably upon by the City Engineer. Final approval of these variance requests will occur with completion of the designs for Horsetooth and Stanford that are acceptable to the City and the utilities. 167 Please provide a detail on the details sheet indicating the area where the bikelane terminates and leads onsite combined with the sidewalk. Design of this area should keep in mind drainage along Horsetooth, containing the flows on the street and preventing flows from entering the sidewalk to the extent feasible. The bike "ramp" between the street and the sidewalk should have a curb along either side of the ramp. [1115] This information was not apparently provided. 171 A detail will need to be added for the truncated dome design on the general details sheet (for ADA compliance). See the redlines for the detail. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Citvof Fort Collins STANFORD DEVELOPMENT, LLC Date: 1/28/2003 c/o Cityscape Urban Design/Eldon Ward 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Staff has reviewed your re -submittal for BELLA VISTA PDP, TYPE I (LUC), and we offer the following comments: ' ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Street Design 63 Len Hilderbrand of Excel Energy (PSCO) offered the following comments: 1. PSCO has a 2" MW existing gas main along the west boundary of the project and a 4" FB gas main existing along the south edge of the property. Both gas mains lay in the street right-of- way. No trees may be planted within 4' of gas lines. 2. The plans show a 12" storm sewer proposed in areas of PSCO's gas lines. Any relocation of existing gas lines would be at the developer's expense. 3. Gas meters would be clustered together @ the ends of buildings, with 2 gas service lines per building. Topic: Utility plans 130 Len Hilderbrand of Public Service Company of Colorado (Excel Energy) offered the following comments: a. No trees may be planted within T of gas lines. Existing gas lines are located in the street rights -of -way. b. Public Service Company of Colorado will need to open cut streets (East Horsetooth Road and Stanford Road) to install gas services to each building. Permits will be required. C. Meters will need to be staked at the ends of buildings. The elevations will need to show areas to meet the requirements for meter stacks. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General 150 The cross sections on the utility plan set now show the sidewalk in this view. The cross section on station 11+50 shows the sidewalk as sloped away from the street. This is not per standards as the sidewalk is required to slope towards the street at 1/4" per foot. There is a general concern about this occurrence because of the transition that takes place, resulting in a section of sidewalk with no slope. Because the flowline grade of the street at this section is less than 1%, there is a concern that there is Page 1
