We will incorporate items into the detailed building design that maintain a point total of at least 2.6 from these items. This will "score" three of the four available points in this point chart line item. We realize that the City of Fort Collins has adopted a new Model Energy Code and we anticipate that additional details regarding this item will be required. A.5. Development Phasing Schedule The critical development phasing for this proposal is to coordinate the proposed changes with the presently planned street changes at this intersection. Specifically, the proposed access and frontage road changes to the east side of College Avenue and the south side of Drake Road can be completed cooperatively with presently planned changes to minimize traffic inconvenience. We anticipate this project to start approximately mid -August. We would like to provide the City of Fort Collins Engineering department with some direction as to how best to proceed with the proposed traffic safety improvements based on this PUD plan review. We want to avoid an unnecessary delay or extension of the street improvement project schedule. sandwich shop incorporated into the Schrader Oil facility near the new Fort Collins high school. The QSR will be managed by a designated food service manager at the facility. We anticipate that the customer base will be from our gasoline customers and the QSR will generate a very limited customer base on it's own. We will limit window signage for the building to company issued, professional quality, printed posters in the extreme south and north window panels of the building. We will have one 3 foot by 4 foot restaurant wall sign in addition to the 2 foot by 3 foot Sinclair wall sign. A portion of our allowable sign square footages of each street sign will be dedicated to the food chain. A.4.b-Statement of proposed ownership of public and private open space areas: We expect to maintain ownership of all private open space areas (landscaping) within the subject property. We have no intentions of changing the ownership of these areas in the future. A.4.c-Estimate the number of business employees: 10-12 full and part time employees, we presently employ 4 part time and 2 full time employees. A.4.d-The assumptions for the business employees are based on similar company operations and facilities with 24 hour operations. A.4.e-Point Chart "D" for "Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial" activities has been completed is attached as part of this application. Variance Description We are requesting a variance,in the "point chart criteria". Specifically, based on the extensive cooperation of the adjacent property owners to significantly improve traffic flow in the area, we request that this PUD be considered as "Part of a Planned Center" for an additional six points. As a second variance, we will achieve three of the four possible points for "Energy Conservation". Using the appropriate multiplier of two, we request a variance of two points. Considering these two variances, we will earn 24 of the 48 maximum applicable points in Point Chart D. A.4.f-The potential conflicts between adjacent land uses are avoided because of the inherent site design of the facility. Our clientele does not need long term parking, therefore, we are not "robbing" space from adjacent uses. We have incorporated 3 employee parking spaces into the site design to satisfy the long term parking needs on site. We are limiting the site lighting and incorporating specific fixtures to minimize light spillage from the site onto adjacent properties. We anticipate that our noise level will be significantly less than the typical street noise associated with College Avenue and Drake Road. A.4.g-As a part of the "Point Chart D" in item a above, we calculated the number of energy conservation points to be awarded using the Energy Conservation Worksheet. We used Method Two from Appendix "E" with the specific "energy conservation methods" that we will implement listed below. Statement of Planning Objectives PUD Plan Submittal Redevelopment Proposal for Sinclair Station ##05013 2600 South College Southeast corner College Avenue and Drake Road Fort Collins, Colorado June 24, 1996 (August 20 revision including interior sales area discussion) A.4.a-A formal Statement of City Land Use Policies is not appropriate for this submittal because this project is strictly to redevelop an existing property consisting of infill within an established area. There are street and storm drainage improvements planned to the College Avenue and Drake Road intersection as part of the Choices 95 Project scheduled to start in August of 1996. These improvements include an 11 foot right of way acquisition from our existing property along Drake Road. This right of way is for street widening, divider installation, bicycle lane installation and a landscaping area addition. This right of way will essentially make our north fuel dispensing island unusable. Because of other existing site conditions, the realistic relocation of this island is not possible. There will be changes to our College Avenue frontage that will also make access to this site difficult. In addition, there will be short term construction easements required that will essentially close our business. Combined, this will create a distinct long term commercial hardship for our business. With the cooperation of other adjacent property owners, the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department and the Colorado Department of Transportation, we have proposed access consolidation and frontage road closures to significantly improve local traffic flow and safety. In summary, this redevelopment proposal is intended to provide improved traffic safety at this intersection and maintain a viable business in the City of Fort Collins. We are incorporating significant landscaping and unique project items to develop and maintain a facility that genuinely supports the significant community improvements in the area. This will be a lasting commercial development that the City of Fort Collins and Sinclair Oil Corporation can be proud of. The new facility will include an attractive, open, interior sales area for typical convenience store and automotive items and a 350 to 400 square foot "quick service restaurant" (QSR). This facility will provide similar offerings that match current industry trends to satisfy customer needs. The present Sinclair facility on site provides limited convenience items. Historically, in other Sinclair Oil Corporation stores we have offered many types of these convenience items ranging from candy and chips to prepackaged sandwiches, hot dogs, microwave foods and regional fast food products. We are proposing to offer a nationally franchised food chain product to maintain a higher quality that current customers demand. The QSR will be similar in operation to the "SUBWAY"
