The Stormwater Utility Department stated that the applicant must obtain an easement through Benson Reservoir for the additional volume which is proposed to be added by this development. The applicant must obtain the easement or a letter of intent to provide an easement from Alan Krcmarik, City of Fort Collins Finance Director by the October 4, 1995 revision deadline. Further comments from the Stormwater Utility are forthcoming. 9. The Engineering Department offers the following comments: a. The traffic report indicates that a 450 foot long right turn lane and 270 foot taper are required for this development. The applicant must provide additional on -site right of way and must obtain additional off -site right of way from the property owner(s) north of this property. It appears that and additional 10 foot width of right of way is needed. b. The 7 foot wide detached walk must be located at this time and within a public access easement. C. The ditch company will be required to sign the Plat and Utility Plans. Please provide the appropriate signature blanks. d. The fire access lane must be defined as a public access easement on the plat. e. A State I-Eghway Access Permit is required. Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck to obtain necessary application forms. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the October 23, 1995 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due by 5:00 p.m. on October 4, 1995. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document. PMT's, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions are due by 3:00 p.m. on October 16, 1995. than 10 feet from a property line or assumed property line between buildings on the same lot. It appears that the proposed sales center and the existing building to the north are closer than 20 feet apart. e. Use of all or a portion of the existing residence for a design office is a change of use and requires that a new certificate of occupancy be issued prior to occupancy. All current building code provisions for the new use must be met. 6. The following notes should be added to the FINAL Landscape Plan: a. "All existing trees to be pruned to the City Forestry Medium Prune Standards." b. 'Prior to construction all protected trees shall have orange protection barrier fencing erected which as a minimum are supported by 1" x 1" or similar sturdy stock, for shielding of protected trees, no closer than six (6) feet from the trunk or one-half (1/2) of the drip line which ever is greater. Within this protection zone, there shall be no movement of equipment or storage of equipment, materials, debris, fill, or cut unless approved by the City Forester." C. During the construction stage of development prevent cleaning of equipment or material or the storage or disposal of waste materials such as paints, oils, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar, or any other material harmful to the life of a tree within the drip line of any protected tree or group of trees. 7. The Planning Department offers the following comments: a. Project Note 5 should read as follows: "Existing house to be used as caretakers residence. Proposed expansion to be used as a design office." b. The Land Use data indicates 9,970.4 square feet of residential use. It does not appear that the existing house (proposed caretakers residence) is 9,970.4 square feet. How was this figure calculated? C. The Planning Objectives letter indicates that the existing residence and a design office for the nursery are proposed. However a note on the elevation drawing indicates that the "existing caretaker residence is to remain as is until that time when it is expanded to incorporate the future studio office." What will happen to it then? Will the residence be deleted and the entire building be commercial? This is of particular concern, as points are being claimed Point Chart D for providing mixed use on the , property d. Point Chart D states that "each of the following applicable criteria must be answered' "yes" and implemented within the development plan." The applicant has answered "no" to Criteria 1, "Does the project gain its primary vehicular access from a street other than South College Avenue?" A variance to this requirement must be requested and justified by the applicant. 3. The Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District have no objections to the proposed project provided all District requirements are satisfied. The preliminary construction drawings are to reflect the District's minimum design criteria requirements. 4. The Zoning Department offers the following comments: a. Bikes racks should be provided. Please show their location on the landscape plan- b. The building envelopes should not be shown on the plat. C. The "overflow" parking area must be asphalt and the 23 parking spaces must be included in the total parking figures (65 spaces). If 65 standard parking spaces are provided, a total of three handicap parking spaces are required. The parking and drives land use data should be revised accordingly. d. Please add a dimension of the distance from the building envelope to the lot line on the Site Plan. e. This property is located in the Neighborhood Sign District. Therefore, the Planning and Zoning Board will be reviewing the location of all wall signage. Please show all wall sign locations on the elevation drawings. 5.. The Building Inspections Department offers the following comments: a. The Sales Center/Greenhouse building exceeds 5,000 square feet in area. An automatic fire suppression system or compartmentalization by fire -resistive construction is required in accordance with Sections 3802, UBC as amended by the City of Fort Collins. b. The site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with Uniform Building Code Section 3103 and UBC Appendix Section 3106. A designated and marked accessible route of travel between the buildings and the public way must be provided. The accessible route shall comply with ANSI Al17.1-1992 with running slopes no greater than 1:20 and cross slopes no steeper than 1:48. Where routes cross lanes for vehicle traffic they shall be designated and marked as a cross walk. Provide parking and signs per Appendix Section 3107.

Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Jim, Staff has reviewed your documents for the Fossil Creek Nursery P.U.D., Preliminary, that were submitted on August 21, 1995, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. The Light and Power Utility states: "Development charges for this site will be quite substantial. The developer needs to contact the Light and Power Utility Engineering Department at 221-6700 regarding power requirements and location." 2. U S WEST states: "Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. U S WEST will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. The owner is responsible for provision of all conduit, ditch crossings, and street crossings for telephone facilities within the project. The owner also provides terminal room space (usually 8' x 4) and power for the main terminal at on building on each property, generally in a utility room. The owner's vendor provides all facilities beyond the main terminal. Contact the U S WEST engineer for conduit specifications for the main telephone entrance cable." In addition, U S West offers the following comments: a. If Tract B will be a separate parcel for tax purposes, then a utility easement from the east property line will be required to provide telephone service to this tract. b. The proposed entry to this property conflicts with an existing telephone pedestal. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans, including vault lid adjustments, will be paid for by the developer. C. No wetlands dredging may take place within the 16Y2'telephone easement along the east property line. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
