HomeMy WebLinkAboutDRAKE CROSSING SHOPPING CENTER (FIRST NATIONAL BANK DRIVE-UP) - AMENDED FINAL PUD ..... APRIL 28, 1997 P & Z BOARD HEARING - 35-96 - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTS13. (CITY W/TRAFFIC) If the neighborhood could go right onto
Hampshire .......... or left.... The major argument will be
the southbound left turn - they don't instal signals based on peak hour traffic
14. If you had a choice of going through the neighborhood or a
shopping center, which way would you go?!
15. My concern is, at any shopping center, banks aren't in the residential area. Now
you take the business section and put it on the residential side. That doesn't fit with
anything else in the city.
16. My concern is the pedestrian traffic. That area is frequently
used by pedestrians. If it was inside the center it would be
OK, but now its on the edge. There are kids bus stops
through there.
17. The fourth lane will be for the ATM?
A. Yes, there will be 3 full service lanes with the ability for a 5 car stack.
18. At a facility this size, there is no way to get 150 cars per
hour. This is much smaller than the others.
19. Where will the cars sit to wait for the lanes?
A. The concept is to have the fourth lane to be a dual purpose lane — with an ATM
and a teller available.
20. What if we have a back-up problem? Will it go out to Hampshire?
A. If we do, I guess it will go out to Hampshire.
21. This could serve everyone from Shields to the west. This is too large for this
location.
A. Normally if you see a long fine, you would pass it and come back at a later time.
OR... they'll lose business... OR... they could go up to the walk-up facility.
22. We should just have the walk-up. There would be less traffic.
23. In.regards to the historic data, would this include this being a drive -up facility?
A. We have 2 larger facilities right now and 150 cars are highly unusual.
NOTE: That is total trips in and out.
52. 1 think the site is too small for this project.
A. This is a standard size all around the country. This is
actually a large space for this facility.
FINAL NOTES.....
NEIGHBORHOOD will meet at the new bank on the evening of Thursday, the 27th
of February.
PURPOSE: Encourage better design, traffic, landscaping, talk about
drive -up elimination, auto interface on neighborhood, etc....
42. My home backs up to Drake and there are times when I have to
close the door because of fumes. I can't imagine how it will be for Gary (neighbor)
A. As it faces— that home has one window on that side.
43. 1 think the sign, "Coming Soon— Drive-thru," is just arrogance.
-what suggestions do you have here?
-see traffic dump onto Taft
-exit into the center is better
44. You have gone through the time and effort for a good plan. It is a nice plan. It's the
pedestrians that concerns me.
A. That is our concern too. We don't want to "hurt" the kids.
45. (staff)The neighborhood center is designed to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
46. This doesn't seem to be in line with what the city promotes.
If there is some way to mitigate pedestrian traffic....
47. We didn't hear about this until later in the process. We called the Planning
Department and they said that there would be no meeting.
STEVE... We didn't think the neighborhood meeting was necessary at this stage....
48. 1 would like to ask that we have a working session with you.
STEVE... There is no doubt in my mind that one of you will be at
the P&Z meeting to pull the item. You won't need all of you
there. We, the City, can continue it. I will take the responsibility to do it.
-agreeable to continue
-school bus issue
-pedestrian crossing street
-right at Hampshire
49. Could we get speed bumps?
A. We will work with the bank— possible raised crosswalk.
50. The crosswalk at Valley Forge and Hampshire does not work!
51. Isn't that something that the city can help with?
A. We have adopt. pedestrian plan...
-write city ordinance...
34. (CONSUL.) Could we move the walk-up to the ATM to the north side, I wonder?
-put in north sidewalk?
STEVE... the sidewalk now is narrow and pushed out by plants....
35. The bad thing is putting all that traffic onto the residential side. We don't see much
traffic now.
36. Is there any way to force cars to take a right out of the lot? So they would go onto
Drake instead?
A. It is better this way. When you have a shopping center like this it is better to have
multiple access. I don't feel all of the traffic will come out to Hampshire. The
majority probably will, but there will be some who make secondary stops for
groceries, gas, etc....
37. What would your response be to the fumes?
A. I have done several evaluations of drive -up facilities. First National, credit union.....
for the most part, you would be surprised at how many times per day there are no
cars there at all. They are not as intrusive as you think.
38. What would the city do if it was not a safe intersection?
A. They would measure the number of pedestrians, gaps in traffic, etc .... Then if
deemed, for a pedestrian crosswalk, we would be obligated to put it in. A request
has not been done for this at this time.
39. How long has it been since you have measured the traffic flow on Hampshire?
A. It has been a while...
-with this project & Hampshire Pond— recent counts
40. So with the widening of Taft Hill, wouldn't that bring in more traffic? .
A. We will never build our way out of traffic.
-It increases 1.5% per year.
41. What does this do to property values in the neighborhood?
A. I don't think this will effect property values. It will enhance the neighborhood.
24. 1 also have an issue of car fumes. I don't think we should have to deal with that.
25. There will be many hundreds of cars on a residential street.
That is a big impact on the neighborhood.
A. From my understanding, it is very low impact.
26. When that PUD was passed, our streets did not exist.
27. There is no space inside the shopping center?
A. From what we see, no.
STEVE... One reality is that the parking lot is under used.
28. Could you move some retail out and use that?
A. There would be more traffic congestion in the center itself.
29. Does the city plan on doing any study of the pedestrian
traffic?
A. The guidelines are being revised. I don't have the established criteria to look at now
at this time.
30. What type of traffic would it take on Hampshire to deny traffic?
A. Hampshire is a collector street.
-could take 3500 to 5000 vehicles per day
-is currently at 1200 per day
31. 1 have to cross my son across the street every day. Some days
it takes me 5 minutes!
A. I have seen this there. (Though I personally doubt that it takes 5 minutes.)
32. There are 2 busses that stop there. One at 8:00 am and another at 8:30 am.
A. Those are valid concerns.
33. It feels like we are getting our neighborhood center grabbed awayfrom us. Nowwe
are getting the worst thing possible, a drive-thru bank. That's a dangerous
precedent to set.
maintenance
-fairly large trees
r
3. What about signage?
A. There will be a 2 ft. x 2 ft. sign at the entrance, accessible from both sides. On the
building, there will be a couple of logos to communicate what bank we are.
4. Are there any lit signs?
A. The only one is the one at the corner of Drake now.
5. Where is the ATM walkway?
A. The walkway to the ATM is off of Hampshire. It is directly
aligned with the ATM machine. It wall also be about as tall
as 4 feet high, so not so easy to see from the street.
(or the neighborhood!)
6. Where is the night depository?
A. The night depository is actually part of the building.
7. Do you have a projected number of cars per day?
A. Intended neighbor facility— maximum 100-200 cars over an
11 hour period.
-banking history —study
8. (CITY W/TRAFFIC) The city requires a traffic impact analysis. - average 50-150
cars per lane for drive-thru - part of the % from neighborhood.and shopping center...
-cut down on other car trips
9. Since there's already a full service bank, then they wouldn't
have to drive through town anyway.
10. I'm sure that it is beautiful, but the traffic will be horrible. It will impact my lifestyle but
help yours!
11. Why do you have to have 4 lanes?
A. So you don't have to wait.
12. 1 feel that 80% of the cars will go out on Hampshire.

Re: First National Bank Drive -Up Facility at First National Bank Plaza
Attached are the Neighborhood Meeting Minutes from the meeting that was held on
February 13, 1997. These minutes become part of the staff report for the First National
Plaza (formerly Drake Crossing Shopping Center PUD), Bank Drive -Up Facility -
Amended Final - #35-96.

Proposing significant berming and landscaping along with a retaining wall that will raise the
elevation from street level approximately 3 1/2 feet This will further serve as a buffer and.
camouflage of cars that may be stacked in the drive -up canes.
3._. The west side of the First National Bank Plaza has signfcant excess parking available. The.
Proposed. lot that the Bank will use for the drive -up will still have 28 available parking spaces.
In addition, there is a lot just to the north that has 43 spaces available. These lots have very .
little historic use_ The basic uses within the shopping center have not changed since its
construction in 1978'. The anchor tenants. Safeway and Walgreens,'remain solid with no
plans of moving. The remaining mix of tenants are minimal parking users .and there is no
reason to believe that similar uses would not prevail into the future. At the present time the
Center has sigiificant excess pwidng available.
4. In response to this question, a drive -up facility is a service. It is essential to the retention and
in some cases the attraction of new customers, however we cannot open new accounts, both
loan and deposit accounL4 at a drive -up facility. It is therefore essential that we have a basic
banking center facility in which we can conduct sales and cross -sales efforts with our clients.
It is in this facility where we generate revenues that stake a branch operation like the one at
First National Bank Plaza profitable. The drive -up facility is an essential part of a profitable
branch operation to be sure. However, we generate revenues through our main branch office, .
not through the drive -UP facility. Should we outgrow the current walk-up banking facility,
our. options would be either to attempt to expand the current facility within the shopping
center, or construct anew full service location at a different site to augment this existing foil
service location at First National Bank Plaza.
I hope you fund these useful Steve. We will be prepared to answer these or any other questions
which the Board members might pose next Monday night .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Steve Olt DATE: 3-6-97
City of Fort Collins
FROM: Mark Driscoll
SUBJECT: Responses to Questions from P & Z Board
Steve, when we met last week prior to the neighborhood meeting, you indicated that the P & Z
Board members had four questions that might come up in the hearing. From my notes this is my
recollection of those questions:
1: _ What would be the effect on air quality in the area especially with a daycare center located'
within 200 - 300 feet from the drive -up?':
2. What would the drive -up look like if there were 25 cars stacked at one time?
3 It appears that there are approximately 40 parking places eliminated by the construction of
this drive -up -What would happen to the Center's parking requirements if there were a
significant change in use within the Center that would require additional parking?
4. Does.the Bank have any plans to close the main banking facility atFirst National Bank Plaza.' - ...
and Ieave only the drive -up facility?
Steve, the following are responses to these questions the Bank would offer:
1. While we have not conducted any studies of any potential air quality concerns, it is our belief
that the amount of traffic created by the drive -up represents a minimal increase to.the existing
traffic. As part of our approval process, we commissioned a traffic study for the proposed `
drive -up facility_ The conclusion of the study was that the drive -up would have minimal
effect on traffic levels in and around the Center. The Bank's experience with drive -up
facilities is extensive. Our experience would lead us to believe there would.be yery little
stacking of cars and insignificant "idle" time that could create any concerns for noxious
fumes or air quality problems. Also, the daycare center is at least 200 feet away from the
proposed drive -up facility.. This distance should alleviate any concerns that the air quality
would be affected to the point of harming the children
2._ In response to this question, first of all it is highly -unlikely given our experience that 25 cars
would be stacked up at any one time in the drive -up facility. In our latest neighborhood
meeting, we provided numbers from our actual experience.with other drive -up facilities. The
-'average transaction in a drive -up facility takes 3 minutes. The traffic study stated that at
absolute peak periods, we could expect to have a maximum of SO— 90 cars proceed through �.
the drive-u - p._We have 4 dnv_e-up lanes_whtch means.thatthere.would be approximately 20 — :—
23 cars proceeding though each lane in this peak hour.. With a 3 minute transaction time, we
could conclude that there would be no stacking at the drive. up during a very heavy peak hour
Similar facilities td this one have a maximum of 40 cars per hour at current vohu ie levels It
is our conclusion that it will. be very unlikely that all dnve-up lanes will stack up to their full ;

Speeding is a major concern in our community. The Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program, (NTSP)
was created to help neighborhoods identify problems and identify solutions to mitigate speeding.
The Traffic Operations staff, through the NTSP, will continue to work with this neighborhood to see
if improvements can be made along Hampshire Road.
3
The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the proposed development at its March hearing. During
citizen input, area neighbors stated that pedestrian and bicycle safety problems currently exist on
Hampshire Road north of Drake Road. With the increased traffic generated by the proposed
development, neighbors contend that the safety problems will also increase in the area. The Board
at that time directed City Staff to work with the neighborhood to assess the current problem, and
identify the impacts the proposed development would have on pedestrian and bicycle safety.
The Traffic Operations Division conducted a number of studies in the area. Vehicle volumes and
speed studies were compiled for Hampshire and Valley Forge. Pedestrian volumes and gaps in traffic
were measured. On the day the pedestrian count and gap study was conducted, it was observed that
there were adequate size and quantity of gaps to allow pedestrians to cross the street with minimal
pedestrian delay. The studies indicated that the existing vehicle volumes on Hampshire Road, and
the necessary gaps in traffic for pedestrians or bicyclists to cross the street, are well within the safety
standards for a collector street. The studies did, however, indicate a speeding problem on Hampshire
Road. Traffic Operation staff met with the developer's architect and traffic consulting firms, to
discuss the scope of a follow-up TIS, which would be more specific to pedestrian and bicycle safety
issues.
City staff met with neighborhood representatives who spoke at the P&Z hearing. The purpose of
the meeting was to share the information and to see if their concerns could be mitigated. The
neighborhood representatives provided suggestions they felt would address their concerns. One
suggestion was to have the exit from the drive -through be required to make a right -turn only; this
would then reduce the number of vehicles entering onto Hampshire at the west access point. This
option was presented to a representative of the bank. The bank was not in favor of this option, the
reason being that it would force all vehicles to go through the drive -up lanes to access the shared
parking area, and would negatively impact those businesses on the east side of the development. The
second suggestion was to improve the pedestrian crossing on Hampshire Road.
Kimley-Horn and Associates prepared a follow-up traffic study dated April 15, 1997. The follow-up
study was directed to primarily address safety issues associated to the impacts of this proposed
development. See attached report.
This proposed development does meet the criteria in the LDGS, Chart A-2.1, for the following
reasons: the additional 500 to 600 vehicle trips per day, and an anticipated 36 vehicles at peak -hour,
can be incorporated into the transportation network without creating safety problems. The impacts
from the additional vehicle traffic do meet the traffic flow delay policies. The improvements that are
currently being proposed will improve the pedestrian access to the neighborhood center. This
proposal also develops patterns of land uses which decrease trip length of automobile travel and
encourage trip consolidation.

TO: Steve Olt, City Planner

Kathleen Reavis, Transportation Planner
FROM: Fred Jones, System Mana
RE: First National Bank Plaza at Drake Cr ssing
The First National Bank Plaza at Drake Crossing has proposed a drive -through facility on the
Northeast comer of Drake Road and Hampshire Road. The drive -through facility will consist of three
drive -through lanes and a shared drive -through and ATM lane. We have required the developer to
provide a Transportation Impact Study (TIS).
The Scope of the Study was to evaluate the potential impacts that would be created by the proposed
development. The study area was determined to be Valley Forge on the north, Hampshire Road on
the west, Drake Road on the south and Taft Hill Road on the east. The initial report was completed
on January 10, 1997, and submitted to the City of Fort Collins.
The proposed development and associated TIS was evaluated against the all development criteria:
chart A-2.1, vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle transportation. Can the additional traffic generated by
the land uses in the project be incorporated into the neighborhood and the community transportation
network, without creating safety problems? Can impacts from the additional vehicular traffic meet
the city traffic flow delay policies? Can pedestrian and bicycle needs be addressed so that
opportunities for these travel modes are integrated into the overall city and bicycle system?
Safety is considered in all projects, and is ajudgement based on accident data, as well as national and
local standards. Anticipated traffic volumes on collector streets range from 2,500 to 5,000 vehicles
per day. The existing traffic volume on Valley Forge is 1,350 vehicles per day, and on Hampshire
2,900 vehicles per day, and these volumes are well within this standard. In the original TIS, the trip
generation for this development was estimated to be 1,233 vehicles per day. This volume was
calculated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual and is very
conservative when estimating trips for this type of land use. In addition this type of land use located
within a neighborhood center, could be estimated with a 15% trip reduction for trip chaining and was
not evaluated as part of this original study. The traffic volumes generated by this project could be
incorporated into the existing transportation network without creating a safety problem.

Re:
First National Bank Drive -Up Facility at First National Bank Plaza
At the public hearing on March 10, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board continued this
item with direction for City staff to work with the neighborhood to assess potential
current problems and identify the impacts that the proposed drive -up banking facility
would have on bicycle and pedestrian safety. Fred Jones of the Traffic Engineering
Department conducted a pedestrian/vehicle gap study and the results were given to
Kimberly -Horn and Associates, First National Bank's traffic engineers, to incorporate
into an amended traffic impact study. Attached is a copy of Mr. Jone's memorandum
addressing the actions that have taken place since the March 10th public hearing.
These memorandums become part of the staff report for the First National Plaza
(formerly Drake Crossing Shopping Center PUD), Bank Drive -Up Facility -
Amended Final - #35-96.

Facility - Amended Final - #35-96
April 28, 1997 P & Z Meeting
Page 5
Staff recommends approval of the First National Plaza (formerly Drake Crossing Shopping
Center PUD), Bank Drive -Up Facility - Amended Final - #35-96, with the following
condition:
1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final
plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans,
and final PUD plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between
the developer .and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the
second monthly meeting (June 19, 1997) of the Planning and Zoning Board
following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was
conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer or the City
staff, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an
extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time
unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit
development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary
circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent -
exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of such
property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good.
If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in
the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the
Board for resolution. The Board may table any such decision, until both the
staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient
information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects
to table the decision, it shall also, as necessary, extend the term of this
condition until the date such decision is made.)
If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended,
as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall
become null and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for this
planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition
is met,. for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of
calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter
2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decision" of the Board shall
be deemed to have been made ,at the time of this conditional approval;
however, in the event that a dispute is presented to the Board for resolution
regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the
running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final decision" shall be
counted from the date of the Board's decision resolving such dispute.

the land use in this location, not the design of the project. The drive -up facility across from
a residential neighborhood is considered by the neighbors to be a noxious, auto -intensive
use that will not allow for a safe pedestrian -automobile interface. They would prefer that
this land use be located within the shopping center or someplace else. Minutes of this
neighborhood meeting will be available no later than the week prior to the Planning and
Zoning Board public hearing on March 10, 1997.
A.second meeting involving the First National Bank, the neighbors, and City staff has been
scheduled for 7:00 p.m. the evening of Thursday, February 27, 1997 (at the bank's new
walk-in facility in the shopping center), to attempt to find some middle ground and a mutual
agreement on the bank's proposal.
5. Transportation:
Access to this facility will be from Hampshire Road via an existing driveway into the
shopping center. The two existing curb cuts from the driveway will remain, providing a
circuitous route through the site.
6. Resource Protection:
There are numerous deciduous and evergreen trees in the landscaped areas along West
Drake Road, Hampshire Road, and the driveway into the shopping center that will be
retained.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS:
In evaluating the request for the First National Plaza (formerly Drake Crossing Shopping
Center PUD), Bank Drive -Up Facility - Amended Final, staff makes the following Findings
of Fact:
It scores 63% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart in the
LDGS. This exceeds the minimum requirement of 50%.
It meets the All Development Criteria in the LDGS.
It is included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
