(cardboard, cans, plastics, etc.), and dumpsters must be enclosed within a

3. Engineering Department:
a. The project will require a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that addresses site
access, and all modes of transportation including automobile, bicycle,
pedestrian, and transit.
b. Street Oversizing Fees are based on the Traffic Impacts. Check with Matt
Baker for the specific amount of this fee for your project.

plant will be located. The dedication of right-of-way to standards includes
necessary easements.

e. Improvements will be needed to. the frontage along the area being platted
(dedicate ROW and easements, move ditch out of ROW).
f. Need to see any changes to existing drives.
g. Need to see how proposed drives align with existing streets.
h. Railroad spur - include info on use. Need to see how you plan on getting
tracks to the site, how it affects other properties. Need easements and
right-of-way.

escrow for improvements at this time.
j. Need to plat.
k. You will be required to have a Development Agreement, a Development

We are experiencing capacity problems in this area.

1. Zoning Department:
a. The property is located in the I -Industrial zoning district.
b. The use would be considered light industrial and office which are both Type
1 uses.
c. An ODP would be Type 2 review.
d. Ensure that there is adequate bicycle parking close to the door. It appears
that you may need an additional rack.
e. Provide trash enclosures.
f. Provide the required number of handicap parking spaces.
g. The landscaping looks good, but keep the residential buffer in mind.
h. Industrial uses limit parking spaces to no more than 0.75 spaces per
employee.
i. No more than 15 parking spaces are allowed in a row without an intervening
landscape island. All landscape islands within parking lots must have a tree
and be at least 8 feet in their smallest dimension.
2. Stormwater Utility Department:
a. This site is in the Dry Creek drainage basin where the new development fee
is $5,000/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The
brew house addition may be in the Poudre River basin where there are
currently no new development fees.
b. The site is in inventory grid #96.
c. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and construction plans
are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer
registered in Colorado.
d. The existing outfalls for the site are limited so onsite detention is required.
The standard release rate is the 2 year historic rate. However, the outfalls
may even limit it more. I would suggest a meeting with Stormwater staff
once the design engineer has reviewed the site constraints and has
preliminary ideas of how to drain the site as well as the historic drainage
patterns. A new outfall system to the Poudre River may be needed since
there are properties in the County that are flooded frequently now.
e. Water quality extended detention is required to treat runoff.
f. This site is not in a floodplain or the Poudre River "product corridor".

MEETING DATE: August 7, 2000
ITEM: Expansion of New Belgium Brewery.
APPLICANT: Angie Melewski
BHA Design
4803 Innovation Drive
Fort Collins, CO 80525
LAND USE DATA:
The New Belgium owners actually own (or have an option on) all the property
between the existing brewery building and Lemay. The applicant intends to submit
an application for an ODP by early September. The expansion is proposed in 2 to 3
phases. This conceptual includes 2 future phases: (1) an addition to expand storage
and distribution to the east of the existing building, and (2) an addition to expand
the brew house to the north west between the existing building and Linden Street.
The applicant is proposing an on site water treatment plant to reuse some of the
water. A visitor center and possible bed & breakfast building are proposed in a new
detached building near the south property line. The applicant is exploring the
possibility of extending a rail spur from the railroad along drive to the site. Two
alternatives were presented: option 1 had a new parking lot on the north side of the
building, option 2 had an expanded parking lot on the south side of the building and
a new service drive on the north.
