The Department of Natural Resources will require an meeting on site to determine if the following will be required: Ecological Characterization Study or an update to an existing study, wetland delineation, and to discuss the buffer zone as shown on current O.D.P. 17. A fugitive dust control permit will be required through Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. Please provide a letter stating the company's recycling policy and process this should be sufficient to meet the requirements of 3.2.5 Trash and Recycling Encloses section of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC). 18. Fort Collins native plant material will be required to be planted within buffer zones. We would also like to encourage the applicant to consider planting native plant material for landscaping. Please provide information on how lime deposits will be addressed. We would like to encourage the applicant to consider contacting Gary Schroeder, 221-6395 to explore utilizing the City's Design Assistance Program to help design an energy efficient/sustainable building. For further information, please contact Doug Moore, 221-6600. 19. A neighborhood information meeting will be required. Please contact the Current Planning Department to create the notification area map and to set this meeting up. 5 irrigation will apply. Development fees and water rights will due at building permit or as provided for by the service agreement. 9. New construction will be assessed two transportation related fees collected at the time of Building Permit issuance. First is the City's Street Oversizing Fee and second is the County's Road Impact Fee. For an estimate of these fees, please contact Matt Baker in the City's Engineering Department at 221-6605. 10. Buckingham is designated on the City's Master Street Plan as a minor collector street featuring a left turn lane. Total right-of-way will be a minimum of 76 feet, plus whatever is needed to accommodate the center left turn lane. As part of the Project Development Plan, New Belgium must dedicate sufficient right-of-way so that there is one-half of the total required measured from the centerline of the roadway to the New Belgium property line. The exact right-of-way width will be determined through more detailed site design and traffic analysis. 11. In addition to this right-of-way dedication, a 15-foot wide utility easement is needed beyond the property line. 12. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. Even though no new employees are contemplated with this expansion, an analysis of traffic flow and turning movements will be needed for Buckingham Street. The location of the new driveway cuts and design of auxiliary turning lanes will be needed. Be sure the analysis shows the existing street network to the south. The T.I.S. will be scoped by the Traffic Operations Department. Please call Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to set up a scoping meeting. 13. A plat or replat will be required. 14. The normal Utility Plans, Development Agreement and Development Construction Permit will be required. 15. As a collector roadway, a five foot wide detached sidewalk is required along Buckingham. The Northside Neighborhoods Plan, however, indicates that to improve pedestrian access to downtown, an eight foot wide sidewalk should be installed along Buckingham. This Plan was adopted in January of 2005 and calls for a multi -use path from Lemay Avenue to Linden Street. It is possible that the link between the eastern edge of the Packaging Hall phase to Lemay Avenue could be installed as an interim improvement with an asphalt path versus concrete. Please contact David Averill, 416-2643, to discuss this improvement in more detail. 4 berming, landscaping, low screen walls or any combination of sufficient opacity to block at least 75% of the light from vehicle headlights [Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b)]. 4. Electrical power is available along the north property line. There is also power along Buckingham which is overhead. The City will be placing this line underground within the next two years. The timing is dependent on the underground feeds at the intersection of Vine and Lemay. The City and New Belgium should coordinate this effort. Normal site and development charges will apply. Be sure that the Project Development clearly delineates a phasing line between current and future improvements so that Light and Power fees and charges are assessed accordingly. For further information, please contact either Bruce Vogel or Doug Martine at 221-6700. 5. The site is located in the Dry Creek Drainage Basin where the development fee for new impervious surface is $5,000 per acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. In the Dry Creek basin, the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre or show that the development can release storm water from the area into the larger system without increasing the peak discharge in the larger system. Extended detention is required to treat the runoff. The existing outfall system in First Street, may limit the outfall capacity to less than the overall basin historic release rate. 6. Floodplain Comment: This site is located in the Poudre River 500-year floodplain. The only floodplain restriction is no critical facilities. Based on the proposed use it appears not to be a critical facility, but it needs to be confirmed they will not be storing any hazardous materials in the structure. Please contact the Floodplain Administrator for the Poudre River: Marsha Hilmes-Robinson, 224-6036. 7. Existing Mains: 8-inch water north of existing building, 6-inch water northeast of proposed building, 12-inch water in Buckingham and 8-inch sewer in N/S alignment between existing building and proposed building. Water and wastewater service is provided in accordance with a service agreement between the City and New Belgium. 8. New Belgium is proposing to connect the packaging hall to the existing building via an elevated pedestrian connection with pipelines to transport product to the packaging area. The walkway will cross an existing sanitary sewer located within an easement on the site. Provide clearance information for review in considering the vacation of airspace easement above the sewer. The water conservation standards for landscape and 3 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: New Belgium Brewery Expansion for Packaging Hall and Employee Parking Lot MEETING DATE: April 25, 2005 APPLICANT: Ms. Angie Milewski, B.H.A. Design, 4803 Innovation Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request to expand the brewery operation by adding Packaging Hall that would range in size from 60,000 to 100,000 square feet. An employee parking for approximately 131 spaces, a soccer field and a "Link" building would also be built with this phase. Future phases include a Kegging Facility and Warehouse. The Packaging Hall would be connected to the existing facility by an overhead structure that would span a sewer line. Other site improvements could include a soccer field and volley ball court in the stormwater detention pond. The proposed facilities are located east of the existing building. COMMENTS:, The site is zoned I, Industrial. The brewery operation is considered light industrial which is permitted in the Industrial zone. All new structures greater than 50,000 square feet in gross leasable area shall be subject to Planning and Zoning Board (Type Two) review. As a Type Two review, a neighborhood information meeting will be required. 2. An amended Overall Development Plan will be required. This O.D.P. can be submitted and reviewed concurrently with the Project Development Plan for Phase One — Packaging Hall, parking lot, Link building, soccer field and other outdoor recreation facilities. 3. A minimum of 30 feet of buffer is required along Buckingham Street. A maximum'numberof .75 spaces per employee are allowed. With 131 parking spaces, this means there can be no less than 175 employees. This standard may be slightly increased to provide parking for shift overlap or other factors unique to the operation of the facility. The parking lot should be screened from Buckingham in a manner that may incorporate COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. PO.
