HomeMy WebLinkAboutMULBERRY & LEMAY CROSSING, LOT 2, CENTENNIAL BANK - MAJOR AMENDMENT - 36-96N - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONS (3)There is an area in the parking lot that was not landscaped by Home Depot.
This is an east -west island that separates the Home Depot parking lot drive
aisle from the parking lot for the multi -tenant building to the south.
Previous applicants have claimed that this is not their responsibility. Now
that the last pad is coming in, there needs to be an agreement among the
parties and this remaining area needs to landscaped with shade trees,
shrubs, mulch and irrigation.
This issue is in the process of being resolved by the developer of the shopping
center.
Please let us know if you have any other issues.
Sincerely:

[6110105] The internal parking lot landscaping in the south lot seems to be
a little sparse. Add another landscape island in the middle of the
southernmost row of parking.
Please note the south lot is existing and will remain undisturbed.
Comments from Current Planning:
Please provide an attractive screen to buffer the plaza area just north of the
drive -through. The plaza is intended to be a respite for employees taking
breaks and other users of the shopping center. Without some treatment,
the drive -through creates a negative impact on the plaza.
We are currently working on the screening request and will submit separately.
[6114105] Major Amendment is ready for a hearing. Additional comments
may arise at final compliance.

Number.7 Created. 611412005
[6114105] 1. Most of the site, including the building, is within the area
removed from the Poudre River floodplain by a LOMR-Fill dated 413102.
Acknowledged
2. One of the conditions of the LOMR-Fill is that all buildings and HVAC
would be elevated 18" above the flood level. The flood level at the
northwest corner of the building is 4932.5 based on the plans for the Home
Depot and therefore the regulatory flood protection elevation is 4934. The
proposed floor elevation of 4935.2 meets the elevation criteria. However,
this issue needs to be discussed in the drainage letter.
This is now addressed in the drainage letter.
3. Please include a note on the plans that the HVAC must be elevated to
4934.
Corrected.
4. Please either include a separate drawing for the floodplain
information or include it on the grading plan. This plan should include the
line showing the limits of the area removed from the floodplain, the BFE
lines, the spot elevations to show all ground is still above the BFE, and the
floor elevation. (refer to floodplain plan for the Home Depot as a reference)
BFE lines do not directly cross this site; an elevation has been obtained by
interpolating between adjacent BFE lines. A note regarding this has been added
to the drainage plan.
5. A portion of the lot is still in the Poudre River floodplain and
therefore is subject to the floatable materials regulation. The trash
enclosure is in the area still in the floodplain. Therefore, the trash
dumpster and recycle container must be anchored to the ground or wall so
as to not float. Please include a detail of this anchoring. One alternative is
to move the trash enclosure to an area that was removed from the
floodplain. Another alternative is to request a variance from the Water
Board, which may be justified in this case due to the fill placed at the
Mulberry and Lemay Crossing project. The fill does not meet FEMA
to their landscaped islands and along the eastern side of their building,
Wal-Mart provided some native planting throughout their landscape and
the over all development designed their detention pond with native wetland
plantings.
Centennial Banks buildings in this region I my opinion would typically meet
this standard because of the sensitivity that their designs usually have due
to the western character and color schemes that they choose and should
be able to easily fit this standard, please contact Doug Moore at (970) 224-
6143 to further discuss this issue.
The Landscape Plan has been has been adjusted to provide the same native
species used at Home Depot such as: Blue Mist Spirea, Black Chokeberry and
Russian Sage. Gravel and cobble mulch will match the existing planting beds.

The deciduous shrubs adjacent to trash enclosure have been changed from 5' -6'
to 3'-4' tall shrubs. They are therefore lower and should not cause any security

[6/17/05] Mostly for your information there is private no -build easement
located in the plaza to the north of the property. I do not have any
information on the dimensions of this. It may not impact this site at all -
just wanted you to be aware of it.

[6/17/05] Ramps are shown at all driveway crossings except for the ones at
the western driveway. I know that the Home Depot had planed for a bunch
of the curb line to be flush with the pavement, but it is not clear if that is
what is happening here. The utility plans have a note around part of this
curb that it is outfall curb and gutter.
The Home Depot curb line is flush. The plans have been revised to reflect this
and show the transition from flush edge to curb and gutter.
