HomeMy WebLinkAboutHORSETOOTH EAST BUSINESS PARK, CARRIAGE AUTO SERVICE SHOP - PDP - 43-94I - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEW"Carriage" convenience center. For further information, please contact Doug Moore, 221-6600. 21. For an estimate of the Capital Improvement Expansion Fee, payable at the time of building permit issuance, please contact the Building Inspection Division, 221-6760. This fee is adjusted annually. 22. The architectural character of the building must conform to the other approved buildings in the convenience shopping center. Significant landscaping is expected along Timberline. 23. As a Type II use, a neighborhood information meeting is required unless specifically waived by the Current Planning Department. Please contact the Current Planning Department to discuss the need for such a meeting or to initiate this meeting. We will prepare a notification map. The applicant provides the list of the property owners within the notification area, plus $.50 cents per name. There is also the $50.00 sign posting fee. We will arrange for the meeting location and facilitate the meeting. 5 10. The private drive must be platted as an emergency access easement in addition to public access. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570. 11. A new building will be assessed both the City's Street Oversizing Fee and the Larimer County Road fee payable at the time of building permit issuance. Keep in mind fees are adjusted annually. For further information, please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605. 12. A Transportation Impact Study will be required which will address all modes. Check with Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to determine the scope of the study. Keep in mind that the intersection of Timberline and Bighorn will not be signalized due to proximity to Horsetooth and Caribou. If a recent T.I.S. was done, it may be updated. 13. Please be cautioned that any construction activity off -site will require an easement from the property owner. 14. Timberline Road is classified as a major (six -lane) arterial. As such, development of the subject parcel will require dedication of additional right-of-way so that there is 70.5 feet from centerline of the roadway to property line. In addition, a 15-foot utility easement is needed behind the right-of-way line. These dedications may or may not have already been made by previous plats. 15. There should be direct and safe pedestrian access among the various uses within the "Carnage" convenience center. 16. Public improvements shall comply with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. One of these requirements is that the first parking stall must be setback from Bighorn Drive between 40 — 50 feet, depending on the traffic volume on Bighorn as stated in the T.I.S. 17. Utility Plans will be needed at the time of submittal. A Development Agreement will be required prior to recording final documents. A Development Construction Permit will be required prior to beginning site work. For further information, please contact Katie Moore, 221-6605. 18. In the ultimate long-range design, Timberline will be a six lane arterial. A median will reduce the turning movements at Bighorn to 3/ turns (no left -out) or to right-in/right=out only. In the short range, the T.I.S. may call for a "porkchop" island to restrict turn movements to right-in/right-out without the benefit of a median in Timberline. 19. Be sure to provide bike parking near the customer entrance. An outdoor plaza is recommended for customers to enjoy during nice weather. 20. The construction phase will require a Fugitive Dust Permit from the Larimer County Health Department. Also, trash enclosures should be sized to accommodate various containers for recycling. A single trash hauler should be shared with the other uses in the 4 4. The project may also need a Modification to the Orientation to Connecting Walkway standard of Section 3.5.3(B)(1). One way to meet this standard, as was discussed at the meeting, would be to place the office/lobby component at the end of the four bays instead of in the middle. The office/lobby could then tie directly onto a connecting walkway. 5. There is existing electrical power along Timberline so there is sufficient available power to serve the site. It may be possible that the proposed lube shop could share the existing transformer. If a new transformer is needed, its location must be coordinated with Light and Power. If needed, a new transformer must be both accessible (within ten feet) to hard surface for emergency change -out and screened for aesthetic purposes, if visible from a public street or the neighborhood. In this case, the transformer should not be visible from Timberline Road. Meters should be screened as well. Any modification to the existing system would be at the developer's expense. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor. Light and Power has a hand-out describing the development fees and charges. Street trees in the parkway strip must be kept 40 feet from streetlights. Ornamental trees must be kept 15 feet from streetlights. For further information, please contact Alan Rutz, 221-6700. 6. This site is in the Fox Meadows drainage basin where the new development fee is $6,468 per acre, subject to the runoff coefficient and amount of impervious surface. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. Onsite detention is required along with water quality which may be provided by extended detention. The site is on Stormwater inventory map #110. A copy can be obtained from the Utilities office at 700 Wood Street. The design engineer will need to refer to the Horsetooth East Business Park drainage plan for special drainage requirements. Unless that report identifies a release rate the site release rate is the two-year historic rate. The inventory map identifies an open channel as well as a storm sewer along the east property line. 7. There is an existing 8-inch water main and an existing 8-inch sewer main in the north - south drive west of the site. A sand and oil interceptor will be needed. Any existing water and sewer services must be used or abandoned back to the main. 8. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply to the project. Development fees, water rights will be due at time of building permit. Please be aware that the Water and Sewer Department of Fort Collins Utilities has implemented a plan check fee. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6700. 9. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. They will require that a fire hydrant be within 300 feet of the building capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 gallons per minute at 20 p.s.i. The address must be visible from the street on which it fronts. A Hazardous Material Impact Analysis is required to evaluate the amount and type of potential flammable materials that may be stored in the building. 3 ITEM: New Carriage Lube Shop at S.W.C. Timberline/Horsetooth MEETING DATE: January 27, 2003 APPLICANT: Byron Collins and Mark Tingey c/o Ms. Linda Ripley, V-F Ripley and Associates, 401 W. Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521. LAND USE DATA: Request for 1,600 — 2,000 square foot, four -bay automotive lube shop located at the southwest corner of Timberline Road and Horestooth Road in the Horsetooth East Business Park. The site is approximately 32,000 square feet in size located directly south of the vacant Rite Aid building. COMMENTS: The site is zoned E, Employment. The proposed land use (vehicle minor repair, servicing and maintenance) could only be permitted as part of a convenience shopping center which is a secondary use in the E zone. And then a lube shop must be found a "use of similar character as determined by the Planning and Zoning Board. As a secondary use, the convenience shopping cannot occupy more than 25% of the E zone district as defined by the boundaries of the Horsetooth East Business Park and Collindale Business Park. Please read the definition of the convenience shopping center and note that it must contain four or more businesses and not exceed seven acres. 2. Creating the boundaries of a convenience shopping center will require a logical exercise that justifies which properties are included and which are not. Perhaps the private east - west drive could act as the north boundary. This would then include the three "Carriage" uses and the office building. The build -to line along Timberline is between 10 and 25 feet subject to respecting existing or proposed right-of-way and easements for utilities. Keep in mind that Timberline is master planned as a major arterial with 141 feet of total right-of-way so the east property line will be 70.5 feet from the ultimate centerline of the road. If any Modifications of Standards are needed, then the request must be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board either as a stand-alone Modification or in conjunction with the Project Development Plan (P.D.P).
