Original plat indicates lot 2 was utility/access/drainage easement. Existing water
and sewer mains must be located in a utility easement. Correct the replat to reflect
this.
46
Include the standard general notes on the utility plans which pertain to depth of bury
of water lines and polywrapping of D.I.P.
47
Include the standard general notes on the landscape plans which pertain to
landscape/utility separation distances and locates of utilities prior to planting.
48
All existing water and sewer services must be used or abandoned at the main.
Clearly define the abandonment of existing services.
49
Include all appropriate details on a detail sheet (Le. thrust block, meter pit, typ.
Water service, etc.).

1
They need to remove all signage information and. drawings from plans,
ESPECIALLY SINCE NONE OF WHAT THEY SHOW COMPLIES WITH THE SIGN
CODE (Le. wall signs too tall, monument sign too large. Sec. 3.8.7(E)). They
should just indicate on the plans the location on the walls where they propose to
place signage. That's all the decision maker should be reviewing.
2
Need to show/label a building envelope on site plan. The envelope must include the
drive-thru canopy.
3
I assume the area on the west side of the building is the loading zone/dock area
Sec. 3.5.1(1)(2) requires it to be screened so that it is "fully contained and out of
view...". I don't think the shrubs thev show are adeauate to accomnliGh thic

Their development data table states that the zoning classification is PUD. It needs
to be changed to NC.

All site lighting and building mounted lights must be down directional. How tall are
the light poles going to be?

need to be addressed. Also please complete the level of service (LOS) worksheets
for transit, bikes, and pedestrians as outlined in the LCUASS and information on
how the proposed development meets these grades for level of service.
36
Expand the existing 4-foot sidewalk along the main drive aisle to a minimum of 6-
feet per Land Use Code (LUC)3.2.2 (C.5,a).see red lines for location of 6-foot walks.
37
Install a handicap access ramp along the main drive aisle to align directly with the
ramp and walkway leading to Safeway. [LUC 3.2.2(C.2)] (see red lines)
38
Stripe ladder cross walks across the east to west drive aisle that leads to pedestrian
destination points [LUC 3.2.2 (C.5.b)] .
39
Install a site light between the drive thru and east to west drive aisle to sufficiently
light the extended pedestrian crossing on the northwest corner of the new building
(LUC 3.2.2 [C.1]) see red lines.
40
Redesign the exit area of the drive thru and loading area to reduce the length of the
crosswalk. According to our LUC drive thru facilities are secondary to any other
access and circulation function. Furthermore, the LUC states that the layout shall
avoid potential pedestrian and vehicle conflicts [LUC 3.2.2 (H.1)].
41
Contact Gaylene Rossiter from Transfort regarding any future transit stops along
Drake.
Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill
42
Show and label all existing and proposed water/sewer lines in all appropriate views.
43
Water services and fire lines must be separate. All commercial water services must
have an exterior meter pit. Show and label curb stops and meter pits.
44
Provide utility easements for all curb stops.

2. Please add a discussion in the text that no work is to be done in the 100-year
floodplain for this development.
3. Please show floodplain boundary on the drainage plan as well as the replat.
4. According to our maps, the floodplain is just along the southern curb and gutter of
the drive to the north ,of this site. Due to the proximity of the floodplain, the City is
advising that the FF elevation of the new building be as high as possible.
17
Please look into providing water quality extended detention for as much of the
parking lot as possible. There is some area along the north edge of the parking lot
where a swale could be placed.

Erosion/Sediment Control Comments:
1. Why is there silt fencing along the high side of the property that will serve to
collect and direct any flows to the silt fence openings you have planned on the low
(north) side of the property?
2. Why have you put straw bales on an existing asphalt (?) surface in the NW corner
of the site? Straw bales float when used on hard surfaces.
3. Why is there one straw bale next to the construction entrance (the hole in the low
side of your silt fence installation)? Is it also on a hard surface?
4. Why do you have notes about gravel filters when there aren't any?
5. Your note B, Vegetative Practices contradicts itself and the City standard erosion
control notes.
6. Why does one of your notes indicate that all erosion control practices will be
constructed and maintained in accordance with the standards and specifications of
Loveland?
7. The plan must contain CITY OF FORT COLLINS standard erosion control notes,
make sure any other plan notes don't contradict any of them.
8. Where are the required PS, EFF, and surety calculations?

Even though the new site is increasing the imperviousness, the assumed C-factor
for this basin in the original 1982 Drake Crossing drainage report was .85. For the
100-year event; C*Cf is over 1.0, which is the maximum C-factor. This results in no
extra detention needed for the increase in impervious area for the proposed site.
The rainfall criteria, however, has changed since this site was first developed. This
might result in extra quantity detention needed for this development.
If an analysis can show the proposed site, with the new rainfall data and actual C-
factor, has equal to or less flow than the original proposed site, with a C-factor of .85
and the old rainfall data, than no quantity detention is required. If not, than onsite.
detention or enlarging an existing storage pond would be required. Parking lot
detention on site is also an option.
In the Safeway expansion that will take place soon, the extra impervious area was
accounted for in the original submittal.

Please provide a plan set, as well as sheets in the back of the drainage report. This
is needed for approval and signature of the plans.
15
Please provide details of the sidewalk chase, curb -cuts, and concrete
pans(channel).

Floodplain Comments:
1. The City designated floodplain for the Canal Importation Drainage Basin has
been adopted by City Council as of July, 2001. Please change the section in the
report discussing this.

The new transformer will need to be within 10 ft. of an all weather surface for line
truck access.
9
Developer will need to coordinate electric system modifications and new electric
service requirements with Light and Power engineering. Since the bank to the west
receives electric. service from the transformer that will be removed, coordination will
also be necessary to maintain electric service to the bank.
10
Costs to modify the electric system, as well as new development costs will be at the
developer's expense.

NRD discourages the use of drive -through lanes -
Pharmacies with existing drive -through lanes seem to be seldom used.
• Drive -through lanes are seen,as a negative amenity to a very environmentally
conscious community
• Positive safe pedestrian circulation around the site is impeded.
• Stormwater runoff and the need of additional water quality are increased.

3. A neighborhood center should be held for this proposal.
4. What existing transit facilities are in this shopping center and area?
Natural Resources
1. Drive-thru lanes are discouraged. The existing drug store drive-thru lanes in
Fort Collins are rarely used. Maybe only 1 drive-thru lane would be sufficient.

6. A utility plan set must be provided.
7. A demolition plan must be provided.
8. The utility plans must show the vacation of existing services to existing
buildings.
9. Public Service Company is listed as the electric provider. Is not the City the
electric provider?
Transportation Planning
1. A minimum 6' wide sidewalk is needed along the main entry side to the
building.
2. The pedestrian crossing at the northwest corner of the building is 55' wide to
accommodate the drive-thru bank and the loading/service area for
Walgreens. This is too long a pedestrian crosswalk.
3. There are lighting concerns at this excessively long pedestrian crosswalk.
The lighting needs to be increased.
4. The structure needs to be at least 100' from the transmission lines.
Stormwater
1. Some quanti detention must be added to this site
2. Water uali is needed.
3. Provide a complete utility plan set.
4. This proposed building is 6" away from the Canal Importation floodplain. It
may be good, or necessary, to raise the building.
5. Stormwater has several erosion control comments that need to be addressed.
Planning
1. Tree mitigation may be needed to offset the potential loss of many existing
mature trees on this site. Please contact Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, to
discuss this issue.
2. A parking analysis should be done to see if this proposal provides for the
shopping center to remain in the 5 spaces/1,000 square feet of gross floor
area allowed for a center.

Ward Stanford of the Traffic Operations Department offered the following
comments:
1. The Transportation Impact Study needs to be revised and re -submitted for the
following reasons:
HCS volume for the westbound left is in error. It analyzes with 50 and ii
should be 150.
Table 1 does not have Level Of Service data for Drake Road and Taft
Hill Road (where the project is located), but it does have data
about US 287 and 37th Street (assumedly in Loveland). Why is this?
What is the relevance?
It would be helpful if all the spreadsheets in the appendices are labeled
with the intersection.
Use a 3 second lost time in the HCS analysis.
Use 2% for heavy.vehicles.
The trip distribution percentages need review and may be affecting site
traffic distribution numbers.
Please review the traffic study. There seems to be numerous errors.
2. Please provide a narrative as to.what is taking place with this project. Are
existing buildings being demolished? Is the existing Walgreens vacating their
current building? The Site Plan indicates that the building and parking area
will be placed where current buildings exist.
59
Please see red -lined plans for Current Planning Department comments.

The following comments and concerns were expressed at the staff review meeting
on October 24th:
Engineering
1. The proposed building is encroaching into easements. This is not permitted.
2. The proposed building needs to be outside of the 15' utility easement along
West Drake Road.
3. ' The proposed sidewalk widths are not shown.
4. Where is a fence shown?
5. Lot 2 on the subdivision plat does not allow for the existing drive-thru bank
building. That area is all access, utility & drainage easement.
