HomeMy WebLinkAboutGOOD SAMARITAN VILLAGE - PDP - 27-96B - CORRESPONDENCE - (9)D. Please indicate how many parking spaces are presently devoted to these 64
units.
Based on this information, we can evaluate the request to not provide the minimum
number of required spaces for the existing 64 units.
9. There are six "P-1" street lights on the west side of the western most access drive.
This is the property line abutting single family homes. We recommend placing
these fixtures on the east side of the roadway so as to minimize the impact on the
adjacent residential lots.
10. In general, the plan set is very complete and thorough. On sheets two and three,
however, could you please delete all of the offsite trees. This information is not
necessary and tends to make the plans look very busy and cluttered.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. As always, please feel free to call our office
if you have any questions or to set up a meeting with the appropriate Staff.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief'Planner
B. In order to satisfy the bicycle level of service standards, a bikelane is
needed along the Trilby frontage.
C. A pedestrian connection should be made to the transit stop at College and
Trilby.
D. Attached sidewalks within the project should be a minimum of six feet
wide.
E. Bicycle parking should be provided at the main building entrances.
D. Please see attached redlines for further comments.
4. Poudre Fire Authority requires that fire lanes be a minimum of 20 feet wide with
minimum turning radii of 20 inside and 40 feet outside. The two 90 degree turns
south of the Therapy Center do not appear to meet this standard. This area
appears to create an awkward turning movement for cars as well as fire trucks.
5. If any portion of an exterior wall is greater than 150 feet from the fire lane, then
the building must be equipped with an approved automatic fire extinguishing
system.
6. Please note that the fire lane shall be feature curbs painted red and signed "No
Parking — Fire Lane."
7. Address numerals for all buildings shall be a minimum of six inches in height.
Numerals must contrast with the background color for visibility.
8. In terms of parking, the intent of the Land Use, Code is provide a minimum
number of parking spaces for residential dwelling units and a maximum number
for non-residential uses. In order to not provide the full required number of 98
spaces for the existing dwelling units, please provide a letter from the operations
manager of the facility that fully describes the living situation. Information is
needed for the following:
A. Please describe the extent of the kitchen or cooking facilities within the
units.
B. Please describe whether or not the residents within these existing units
have access to a central dining facility.
C. Please survey these residents to provide information on how many own
vehicles that need an onsite parking space.

Dear Kim:
Staff has reviewed the request for Good Samaritan Village Project Development Plan and
offers the following comments:
Engineering comments are provided on the attached comment sheet. There are
two important comments that are repeated here for emphasis:
A. Please check the right-of-way being dedicated with this development.
Trilby is classified as a minor arterial. Therefore, this development will
need to dedicate 42 feet of right-of-way (half of the total width of 84 feet
as measured from the centerline) if has not already been done before.
Assuming that the centerline of Trilby Road follows the section line, this
development will need to dedicate an additional 12 feet of right-of-way
plus the standard 15 foot wide utility easement behind the property line.
B. It appears that a portion of an existing utility easement will need to be
vacated because of the dedication of right-of-way along Trilby Road.
C. Constellation is classified as a collector street. You will need to dedicate
an additional eight feet of right-of-way along Constellation plus the
standard nine feet wide utility easement behind the property line.
2. Comments from the Stormwater Department are attached.
3. Comments from Transportation Planning include the following:
A. It will be necessary a pedestrian crossing on Tribly at
Constellation/Avondale. This pedestrian crossing will need to be designed
to include a center median/pedestrian refuge area based on Tribly's
roadway classification (minor arterial) and the character of the resident
population of God Samaritan Village.
