HomeMy WebLinkAboutWATERFIELD PUD, FIRST FILING - FINAL - 7-95C - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSI. The 8-plex building that backs up to Merganser needs to be modified/shifted
as it is too close to the r.o.w. Landscaping (potentially a screen wall) is
needed to provide privacy for the residents.

and the sidewalk/parking. Please refer to Preliminary PUD comments
regarding this. Also refer to Advance Planning comments.

of all multi -family buildings. Please also refer to Advance Planning
comments.
o. Please provide a fence detail an elevation sheet for the properties (out
parcels) that are adjacent to the multifamily portion of the development.
These fences must be shown and labeled on the Site and Landscape Plans.
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.
As previously discussed, plan revisions for the Waterfield PUD, First Filing are due

redlined plans with plan revisions to Mike Ludwig of the Current Planning
Department.
14. Redlined Utility Plans from the Water and Wastewater Utility are attached. Please
return redlined plans with plan revisions to Mike Ludwig of the Current Planning
Department.
15. The Current Planning Department offers the following comments:
a. Please provide Final PUD building elevations for all multi -family building
types and the clubhouse building. Building materials and colors must be
labeled and specific (paint stock number, etc.).
b. Please renumber all plan sheets accordingly to accommodate the inclusion
of building elevations in the plan set.
C. The zoning districts on the Site Plan vicinity map no longer exist. Please
revise according the CityPlan zoning map.
d. Please note the existing zoning in the Land Use Breakdown information.
e. Please verify all gross and net area calculations after plan revisions are
made.
f. Please add overall density information for the First Filing in the Land Use
Breakdown table (219 units on 27.5 acres =7.96 dwelling units per acre).
g. Please add a note under the solar orientation data regarding the fact that a
variance to All Development Criteria A-1.1 was granted at Preliminary on
May 19, 1997.
h. Please add a note that 16, 4-BR units are allowed per the P&Z during
Preliminary on May 19, 1997.
i. Please provide per unit type and overall parking calculations. The Bull Run
portion of the development is short at, least 13 spaces. This is further
impacted by the loss of 4 spaces where the potential access to the Plummer
school site is shown (replace with landscape island). Please add at least 17
spaces to the plan (example: private drives are 30 feet wide and would allow
on -street parking on one side).
Please label the width of all sidewalks on the Site Plan.
k. Please label the width of all drive aisles and parking stall dimensions.
9. Comments from the Advance Planning Department are attached. Please return
redlined plans with plan revisions to Mike Ludwig of the Current Planning
Department.
10. The Building Inspections Department offers the following comments:
a. Apartments accessible and adaptable for use by persons with disabilities
must be provided in accordance with Uniform Building Code Section
3103(a)8. As amended by the City of Fort Collins. The 1992 edition of the
American National Standard Institute publications #A117.1 "Accessible and
Usable Buildings and Facilities" should be used in the design of accessible/
adaptable dwelling units. A local amendment to the UBC requires that
accessible units with numbers of bedrooms and other amenities be provided
in numbers proportionate to the remainder of the project. When more
stringent, the Colorado revised Statute, Title 9, Article 5, Section 111 also
applies to apartment projects. Though not administered at the municipal
level, similar requirements are contained in State and Federal civil rights
legislation (Fair Housing Acts). Where provided in a project containing
accessible dwellings, a portion of garages or covered parking must be
accessible.
b. 'The site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with
Uniform Building Code Section 3103 and UBC Appendix Section 3106.
Provide a designated and marked "accessible route of travel' among all the
buildings on the site and building exits and entrances and the public way
(public sidewalk). Accessible routes shall comply with ANSI A117.1-1992
with running slopes no greater than 1:20 and cross slopes no steeper than
1:50. 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. Parking and access aisles shall comply with ANSI A117.1-
1992 with slopes no greater than 1:50 in any direction.
C. Buildings shall be designed to comply with the Fort Collins Nonresidential
Energy Code (ASHRAE 90.1 with local amendments) or Residential Energy
Code (1995 Model Energy Code with amendments), whichever applies to
each building.
11. Comments and redlined plans from the Engineering Department are attached.
Please return redlined plans with plan revisions to Mike Ludwig of the Current
Planning Department.
12. Comments and redlined plans/report from the Stormwater Utility are attached.
Please return redlined plans/report with plan revisions to Mike Ludwig of the Current
Planning Department.
d. "Paired" water service locations must be coordinated with Light and Power
prior to construction of the water lines. If water services conflict with planned
electric vaults or streetlights, the water service locations will need to change.
4. The Zoning Department offers the following comments:
a. Please make sure topo lines are removed from the final site plans Jmake
Lqh&)•
b. Please provide parking breakdown calculations for the Bull Run Apartments
including the number of units, vehicle parking ratio, and number of spaces
for each unit type.
C. If dotted lines on the Site Plan represent building envelopes, then indicate
as such.
d. Please clarify (note on the Site Plan and Plat) who will maintain trees in the
right-of-way.
e. Please indicate distances from the building envelopes to the property lines.
The distances shown from multifamily building envelopes along the north
side of the Bull Run project are. not to the property line. They show a
distance, but to what?
5. The Parks Planning Department stated that Neighborhood and Community
Parkland Fees will be assessed on each dwelling unit based on the square footage
of the unit.
6. The Poudre Fire Authority offers the following comments:
a. An additional fire hydrant is required near the 8-plex located east of the
Oppie property and at the northeast corner.
b. Please check street names with Ken Jackson at Fire Dispatch.
7. Comments from Sommermeyer Wick & Campbell, LLC (attorneys for the Larimer
and Weld Irrigation Company) are attached.

Dear Cathy,
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Waterfield PUD, First Filing, Final that were
submitted on June 23, 1997, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. The Streets Department requests that a note be added to the Plat and Site Plan
that clarifies the entity that is responsible for sidewalk snow removal on residential
streets.
2. The Water Conservation Specialist states that the landscape plan shall include
the total area (in square feet) for each landscape category. Landscape categories
are distinguished by their water requirements and intended maintenance level.
Examples of possible categories include, but are not limited to, high water turfgrass,
low water turfgrass, low water planting beds, moderate water planting beds, and
non -plant areas (paved areas, etc.).
3. The Light and Power Utility offers the following comments:
a. Building envelopes in the apartment area are so close to the sidewalk,
installation of both Public Service Company Gas and Light and Power
electric may be difficult. Light and Power can install under the parking area,
but historically, PSCo doesn't install their mains under asphalt. Please
contact PSCo if they haven't already been contacted.
b. Street tree locations need to be flexible so minimum clearances to
streetlights can be maintained (40' from shade trees and 20' from ornamental
trees).
C. The lot numbers on V-F Ripley Associates drawings are quite different from
those on Landstar Surveying Inc. drawings. Please coordinate.
