APRIL 25, 1994 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW - 32-95A - CORRESPONDENCE -13.---What ---- possible — land---uses---are---being--envisioned—for—the----- commercial site? A 2 acre parcel is very small for a neighborhood commercial site, making the options very limited. 14. A neighborhood meeting will be required for this proposal and must be held prior to a formal submittal of a development review request -to the City.,.:This meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, 1994 at Werner Elementary School. It is an evening meeting, from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. Kirsten Whetstone ___ will be your City project planner working with this proposal. --------9.---A---full--traffic--impact - analysis -will --be-required-for-this -- - roject. There may be off -site street -improvement -requirements of this development. This will be determined by the traffic analysis. Future access into the tracts of land in Larimer County, to the south and east, should be provided with this development. Adequate internal access into the townhome parcel should be provided. Please contact Tom Vosberg of the Transportation Department if you have questions about the traffic issues and requirements. Tom can be reached at 221- _....- . 6608. - 10. The Engineering Department's comments are as follows: a. This development will be responsible for off -site street improvements (minimum of 36' width) on South Shields Street and/or Trilby Road to the nearest arterial street, as per City Code. The traffic analysis will help determine the extent of the necessary improvements. Also, your phasing plan will be a factor in the location and timing of the improvements. b. The City's standard local street width is 361; however, 28' wide streets are allowed on cul-de-sacs with few, larger lots. This generally means no more than 12 lots, each being a minimum of 8,000 square foot in size. C. Off-street "clustered" parking could be provided in areas where the narrower, 28' wide streets are proposed. This parking should be 90 degrees to.the street and must be adequately distributed, not concentrated, to provide sufficient guest/overflow parking for all lots. d. This development may not qualify for street oversizing or off -site improvements due to its "le'ap-frog" nature, meaning it is not contiguous to any existing urban development. Please contact Matt Baker of the Engineering Department if you have questions about the status of this concern. Matt can be reached at 221-6605. Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck if you have general engineering questions in response to these comments. Kerrie can be reached at 221-6750. - 11. There is a Fort Collins -Loveland Corridor Study process underway that you should be aware of. This property is either contiguous to or partially in the designated corridor. Please contact Clark Mapes or Ron Phillips in the Planning Department for information about the potential impacts the corridor study may have on this property. They.can be reached at 221-6376. 12. The area in Larimer County, to the south and east, is not well integrated with the potential school and nark sites on this property. Additional vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian linkages should be considered. b.--There is a-150' maximum distance requirement from a place --- whe-r-e-a—f-ir-e truck-can-pa-rk to -any point -on the-eater-ior of all buildings. C. There is a 900' maximum distance requirement from a single point of access to any building or all buildings beyond that distance must be provided with an automatic fire sprinkler system. d. If 28' wide streets are being considered. -in some locations, please be aware that parking would be allowed only on one side of the street in all cases. Also, a form of "clustered" parking (strategically distributed) -could be considered to accommodate the guest/overflow parking needs. Providing 3-car garages can also help decrease the on -street parking needs (editorial: the Planning Department does not encourage 3-car garages) . 5. The Natural Resources Department has indicated that an Army Corps. of Engineers 404 permit may be required in conjunction with the wetlands areas on -site. The boundary of the wetlands area should be surveyed and staked to determine the size of the area. Adequate transition zones between the wetlands and proposed developed areas should be identified and provided to maintain the water quality in the wetlands. Opportunities for bicycle/pedestrian trails should be considered to help mitigate air quality concerns. Please contact Susie Gordon if you have questions about potential impacts to the wetlands area. Susie can be reached at 221-6600. 6. Is the Thompson Valley School District interested in a school site in this area? 7. Parks & Recreation has indicated that the park site should be about 10 acres in size. The park should be more square in its configuration if no school is planned adjacent to the park. P & R is in the process of revising its adopted Parks Master Plan. The plan will be proposing more bicycle/pedestrian trails throughout the City. 8. This property is in the Fossil Creek Storm Drainage Basin and is subject to the basin fees of $2,274 per acre, based on the runoff coefficient for the proposed land use. The fees can be reduced if on -site detention is provided and approved by the Stormwater,Utility. The City is not, however, encouraging on - site detention for this site. An overall drainage plan is needed with this proposal and it should refer to the Fossil Creek Overall Drainage Study that has been done .for this basin. The standard drainage report, grading and drainage plans, and erosion control plans must be part of your overall development plan and preliminary submittals. Please contact related to this site.
