HomeMy WebLinkAboutRAMADA LIMITED SUITES PUD - PRELIMINARY/FINAL - 16-96 - CORRESPONDENCE -12. A traffic impact study will be required. The traffic study should incorporate potential traffic from lots 3-5. It will be necessary to obtain an access easement from the owner of Lot 3 for the shared access. Sidewalks along Mason Street must be at least five feet in width and detached from the curb. For more information, regarding these comments, please contact Sheri Wamhoff at 221-6750. 13. The site is located in the McClellands/Mail Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. A standard drainage and erosion control report is required, with the exception of the release rate of 0.5 cfs/acre. The Stormwater Utility would prefer for this site to drain to the existing storm sewer at Boardwalk and Mason; however, if this would be a hardship, the detained release may be allowed into the curb and gutter of Mason Street. There is an S.I.D. (Special Improvement District) payment due on this property for the storm sewer improvements. The fee due will be roughly equal to $2,751.47 per acre, plus the Handy -Whitman Utility Cost Index (see handout example done for lots 4 and 5). Drainage cannot flow into the railroad right-of-way without an easement; most sites along the railroad R.O.W. have been bringing the railroad drainage through their sites. The site may be next to an existing wetland; if so, any impacts to said wetland must be addressed/mitigated. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6589. 4. If a kitchen will be part of the proposal, the City's Water and Wastewater Department will require a grease interceptor on the sanitary sewer line. There is an eight (8") inch sanitary sewer line and an eight (8") inch water line which runs in/along Mason Street. There are existing stubs into the site; if these stubs are of adequate size, they must be utilized. On the other hand, if it is found that these stubs are not large enough to service the site and the proposed use, they will have to be abandoned. Taps into these lines are subject to specific spacing requirements, and fire water and domestic water taps must be separate. Water conservation standards for landscaping and irrigation will apply. Plant Investment and Water Acquisition Fees will be due at the time of building permit issuance. There may be repay agreements on taps into the water and sewer lines serving this site. For further information on water and sewer issues, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. For further information on plant investment fees and raw water requirements, please contact Mary Young at Water and Wastewater Utility, 221-6681. 6. The property is zoned HB, Highway Business. As the proposed use is not specifically allowed in this zone, the project must be processed as a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), subject to the standards of the Land Development Guidance System (LDGS), for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Board. 7. It will be necessary to include bicycle racks as part of the site plan. These racks should be conveniently and safely located, permanently anchored to the ground, and should not obstruct any walkways. 8. The twenty -foot drive lane on the north side of the proposed building would have to be striped as a "Fire Lane" with no parking allowed. All turns must be designed such that there is a minimum of a twenty foot (20') radius on the inside of the turn and a forty (40') foot radius on the outside of the turn. The third story of the structure would have to be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system (sprinklers). The Poudre fire Authority would like there to be an addressable fire alarm system. It would be necessary to provide a fire hydrant at either side (north or south) of the Mason Street access. If you have any questions regarding the Poudre Fire Authority's requirements or comments, please contact Roger Frasco at 221-6570. 9. Please provide recycling facilities/opportunities within the trash enclosures. Trash enclosures must be visually screened from public view, as must all roof -top mechanical equipment. 10. It will be necessary to provide handicap accessible parking spaces. Handicap accessible routes of travel cannot have 'slopes exceeding ADA requirements. Similarly, a minimum of one out of every seven rooms/units will have to be handicap accessible. A 13-R system is allowable in guest rooms. For information regarding these comments, please contact Sharon Getz at 221-6760. 11. The proposed land uses will be assessed a Street Oversizing Fee of $14,005 per acre of developed land, payable at the time of building permit issuance. For further information on an estimate of these fees, please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605.
