HomeMy WebLinkAboutMULBERRY / LEMAY CROSSINGS PUD, LOT 2, FILING 2 - FINAL PUD - 36-96E - CORRESPONDENCE - (6)6. Please add bike racks at the entrances of Buildings D, E, and J.
7. Is an additional trash enclosure needed for Retail C? The closest one
would be at the southeast corner of Retail D.
8. Please explore ways to mitigate the mass of the seven -foot high retaining
wall. The location at the corner of Mulberry and Lemay is very prominent
and will be one of the first site features seen by the public. The visual
impact.on the shopping center is significant. Could this wall be terraced so
flat areas are created for landscaping? Could vines be planted to climb
this wall? Could a capstone be considered? An example of an attractive
retaining wall, although not seven feet high, is located within the Market
Centre Shopping Center on West Drake Road at Worthington Drive. This
center is anchored by Steele's Market.
9. Please add the detail for the concrete -filled accent window that was used
on Lot One to one of the architectural sheets.
10. Staff is concerned about the west elevation of Retail C. The roof pitch
over the entrance should be enlarged or raised so that the pitch exceeds
the height of the flat parapet wall. This would then be more symmetrical
with the entrance over Retail D and improve the overall -visibility and
aesthetics for the tenant in Retail C.
11. On the architectural sheets; please indicate the locations of the benches
and seat walls. It appears that the two courtyards could use more seating
areas in order to satisfy the condition of preliminary approval. Also, is
there not an opportunity to provide an information kiosk either in the
courtyards or along the west elevation like the one provided in Lot One?
Keep in mind that the preliminary condition of approval calls. for a
generous use of pedestrian amenities in the courtyards.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note that you have 90 days
to respond to these comments. Otherwise, the Planning Director may remove
the project from the development review process. As always, please call if you
have any questions or concerns regarding these comments.

Dear Kurt:
Staff has reviewed the revised plans for Mulberry-Lemay Crossings, Lot Two,
Final P.U.D., and offers the following comments:
1. Attached are redline plans and comments from Sheri Wamhoff,_
Development Review Engineering. For site planning purposes, please
note that there is a concern with how the necessary utility easements
relate to the proposed building envelopes. To avoid conflicts between
easements and building envelopes, please provide either a site plan with
easements or a plat with building envelopes. Please be aware that with .
the plat being filed with Lot One, any changes to the dedicated utility
easements will require a replat or a separate easement vacation
procedure.
2. Attached are redline plans and comments from Donald. Dustin of the
Stormwater Utility. Please note the structural concern with a seven -foot
high vertical retaining wall. At this height, a separate review and permit
may be required from the Building Inspection Department. Please contact
Felix Lee, 221-6760 for further information.
3. Also, please note that Buildings I and J may encroach into the detention
pond easement as shown on the plat that was reviewed for Lot One. This
may require either the building envelopes be moved or the pond easement
modified.
4. Attached are redline plans and comments from Jeff Hill, Water and
Wastewater Utility. Please note that there should be a ten -foot separation
between the proposed street lighting along Mulberry and the existing 42-
inch sanitary sewer trunk.
5. Attached are comments from Ron Gonzales, Poudre Fire Authority.
Please note that internal parking lot drive aisles that act as fire lanes must
feature minimum turning radii of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside.
