Home My WebLink AboutMINI-MART AT ELIZABETH & SHIELDS PUD - PRELIMINARY/FINAL - 50-94 - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSI A M 32. Staff is under the impression that this is a joint application between two property owners. Please provide a second signature block for the second owner. 33. It is not required that the owners' signatures be notarized but it is generally a good idea. Recently, we have been asking for the notarial block to be included on P.U.D.Is. At your option, please consider adding a notarial block by the owners' signatures. This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note the following deadlines for the November 14, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due October 26, 1994. P.M.T.'s, ten prints, renderings, are due November 7, 1994. As always, please call if there are any questions or concerns regarding these comments, or to set up a meeting to discuss the issues in depth. sincerely: � f ---.4 Ted Shepard Senior Planner xc: Bob Blanchard, Chief Planner Kerrie Ashbeck, Civil Engineer r 7 19. 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 turf grass, low water turf grass, low water planting beds, and moderate water planting beds. 20. The legal description does not match the extent of work contained on the site plan. Part of the work is located within the Massey Minor Subdivision. Please indicate property lines after the dedications for Shields Street. 21. Please be aware that the new building will need a.floodplain use permit from the Stormwater Utility. 22. Public Service Company requests that no trees be planted within four feet of an underground gas line. 23. Also, any relocation of Public Service Company facilities will be at the developer's expense. r 24. U.S. West cautions that any relocation of existing facilities required by these plans will be paid for by the developer. 25. Under General Note No. 7, please add that the trash enclosure will be constructed out of materials to match the building's exterior, if located outside the building. 26. Under General Notes, please add a note that states that both pole and building -mounted security.lights will feature down - directional, sharp -cutoff luminaires. 27. Under General Notes, please add a note that states that under canopy lights will be fully recessed into the body of the canopy with only one flush side visible to the public. 28. The legend indicates a bike rack but it is not located on the site plan. Please add a bike rack in a location that is along the front entry but does not interfere with pedestrian sidewalks. 29. Will there be a new electrical transformer? If so, please indicate the location and appropriate screening. 30. on the architectural sheet, please indicate the building's exterior materials and color. 31. On the architectural sheet, it is not necessary to include the floor plans of the two levels. It is necessary, however, to include a sketch of the canopy indicating materials, color, and dimensions. 9. Since the coffee house is located in one of the parking spaces, the total parking figure should be reduced from 21 to 20 standard spaces. 10. The new building and canopy must comply with Section 503 of the Uniform Building Code. 11. The exterior walls, openings in exterior walls, and projections from exterior walls (cornices, eaves, overhangs, etc.) shall be of fire resistive construction as required by Table 5A of the U.B.C. Parapets extending 30 inches above the roof deck must be provided as required in Section 1710 of the U.B.C. 12. Storage or use of hazardous materials must be in compliance with the Fire Code and Chapter 9 of the 1991 U.B.C. as adopted by the City of Fort Collins. A list of such materials with quantities and classifications should be submitted for review at the time of building permit application. 13. Review and approval of food service (including grocery) facilities by the Larimer County Health Department is required at the time of building permit submittal. 14. The site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with U.B.C. Section 3103 and U.B.C. Appendix Section 3106. Site plan should include a designated and marked accessible routes between buildings and the public way, and accessible parking and buildings. Provide parking signs per U.B.C. Appendix Section 3107. 15. It is suggested that the two relocated Choke cherries along Shields Street not be placed in this location. This location is too close to Shields Street for Choke cherries and should feature street trees instead. Please select a traditional street tree for these two locations (Burr Oak, Green Ash, Honeylocust, Linden, Hackberry). 16. There are two Mugo Pines relocated along Shields Street. These will get too large for the small planting area. It is suggested that another species be selected. 17. Staff is concerned about the use of Tam and Arcadia Junipers around the curve along Shields and Elizabeth. These species will grow up to five feet in height which may cause sight visibility problems. It is suggested that a lower growing (Broadmore) juniper be used. 18. Please add the following note to the plan: "The landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Fort Collins Water Department for the irrigation system for the landscaping at the time of building permit review." y Commt. _y Planning and Environmental _ _rvices Planning Department City of Fort Collins September 28, 1994 Mr. Eldon Ward Cityscape Urban Design 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Eldon: Staff has conducted interdepartmental review for the Mini Mart at Campus West P.U.D. and offers the following comments: 1. The close proximity of the right -in curb cut on Shields Street to the northern gas pump island creates an obvious conflict. Cars fueling at this northern pump island may cause southbound, cars entering the site via the Shields curb cut to back up into the travel lane on Shields. There is simply no room for cars to stack at this pump island. 2. There is also a concern that the angle of the Shields curb cut does not adequately discourage left turn exits onto to northbound Shields. This angle or shape of the curb cut should be modified so as to deter illegal left turns. 3. For the above stated reasons, Staff recommends that the northerly gas pump island be deleted to improve circulation both on and off the site. 4. The 60 degree parking stalls require a 24 foot wide drive aisle where there is double loaded parking (plan shows 22 feet) and a 20 foot wide aisle where there is single loaded parking (plan shows 18 feet). 5. The parking stalls on Shields are shown to have a 19 foot depth. These stalls should have 21 feet of. depth. Cars in these spaces will.overhang the sidewalk. 6. It appears the new espresso building encroaches into the right-of-way on Shields. 7. There is a concern that coffee customers will park in the drive aisles. The plan should indicate onsite directional signage that encourages coffee customers to park in spaces adjacent to the coffee vendor. 8. It is suggested that the optional parking spaces be compact in size, especially since the drive aisle is.only 19 feet wide. 281 North College Avenue - P.O.
