Diamond Shamrock, February 5, 1997
The fascia system for the quick lube has been modified to synthetic white
stucco in order to match the convenience store. The applicant, Diamond
Shamrock, does not have any intentions of submitting a Final PUD which
will include the quick lube in the near future. In order to allow the
greatest flexibility for the architecture of Lot 2, the proposed elevations
have been limited to a generic quality which will allow the Lot 2
developer to meet their needs and city recommendations during their Final
PUD process sometime in the future.
S. Based upon information submitted to date, this project achieves 11 % (6
out of 54) of the maximum applicable points... Please submit a variance
request to this requirement based upon... Section K (p.108) of the LDGS.
Specific issues related to the Point Chart are as follows:
Criteria 4b - This PUD is not part of an existing neighborhood or
community/ regional shopping center...
ii. Criteria 4e - This PUD is not mixed -use as it does not provide two
or more significant land uses. Residential use is proposed on other
areas of the ODP but not within the boundary of this PUD. No
points will be awarded for this criteria.
Criteria 4f - Criteria #4f of point Chart D asks if there is direct
vehicular and pedestrian access between on -site parking areas and
adjacent existing or future off -site parking areas which contain
more than ten parking spaces. There is no direct pedestrian
access between the proposed uses on this PUD... Where is the
adjacent existing parking? Where is the future off -site parking?
Without further documentation showing direct pedestrian access
between the two buildings and/or agreements for vehicular and
pedestrian access with future parking areas, no points will be
awarded for this criteria.
iv. Criteria 49 - No points were claimed for energy conversation on
Point Chart D, although a Method 2 calculation was submitted.
Method 2 is not valid as it has not been updated to reflect the
City's Model Energy Code as adopted in July, 1996. Therefore, in
order to claim points..., the applicant must use Method 1...
A variance request has been attached as a separate document.

V. Please modify General Note #16 on the Landscape Plan to state:
"Landscape and irrigation system installation to be completed prior to...
...the valuation of the landscaping and irrigation system (materials and
labor).
Done.
Please show the elevations of the columns for the canopy as wrapped
with brick for the entire height of the column.
In order to provide a continuous theme throughout the site buildings, the
canopy columns have been designed to match the corner columns of the
convenience store and car wash buildings. The materials include light
gray rock face block, red single scored block, and white stucco.
W Please note on the elevations that all building mounted, column mounted
security lighting must be down directional, sharp cut-off.
Done.
V Please note on the elevations that all canopy lighting must be fully
recessed.
Done.
Please note on the elevations that no window signage will be allowed.
�O Done.
What is the exterior mounted window sign below the Corner Store sign?
Is there enough signage allowance for this to occur? Please eliminate.
The exterior mounted window signage has been removed since this
applies directly against the signage allowance.
Please note on the elevations that the tops of the fuel pumps must be
opaque and non41luminated.
Done.
The Elevations of the lube shop are not of the same quality as the .
convenience store and need work. A standing seam metal roof similar to
the convenience store, awnings, fluted block, etc. should be discussed.

Please specify that all lighting will be "down directional, with sharp cut-
off...°
Done. See schedule no. 19 and site light detail on site plan.
Please label the building footprint as a "gas and convenience store" rather
than a store model.
Done.
g/ Staff is concerned about the size of the proposed canopy with the
proposed expansion shown.
Recently, a similar Diamond Shamrock project at Timberline & Milestone
was approved that consisted of the same building and canopy size. This
1.413 acre site is more than capable of handling the ultimate canopy
expansion shown meeting required setbacks and providing smooth
vehicular circulation. During conversation with Mr. Ludwig, concerns
were directed toward the extended south side canopy being out of
context with the shorter canopy on the north side. The proposed car
wash building will create an offset for this concern being located on the
same side as the shorter canopy in proximity to the convenience store.
UPlease show the actual site plan elements and dimensions rather than
designating with a number code and Legend. The legend really should
only have a symbol for handicap parking stalls, bike racks, etc.
The Legends have been renamed as Schedules on both the Site and
Utility Plans. Recently, two different Diamond Shamrock projects have
been approved in the City of Fort Collins using this exact format. In light
of your request, an attempt has been made to generalize the plans to
facilitate your review.
(� 5 Berms and more evergreen landscaping are needed along Lemay Avenue.
5�v Berms of approximately 2 to 3 feet are proposed along Lemay Avenue.
To increase the effectiveness of the berming, the shrubs proposed along
the Lemay frontage have been relocated to the top of the berm. Per your
request, four additional evergreens have been added.
Please modify General Note #2 on the Landscape Plan to state: "The
contractor is to furnish and install plant materials as noted on this
Landscape Plan. All plant material is to be AAN# 1 grade.
Done.

public right-of-way to the buildings on each site. Since a common
access drive separates the two lots currently being planned, it was
necessary to find a single common access area for pedestrians to
connect from the two sites. This common crossing point has been
provided at the intersection of the east -west common access drive
and Lemay Avenue.
In single building developments, a primary building entrance must
face a public sidewalk or other walkway, plaza, or courtyard that
has direct linkage to a public sidewalk without requiring people to
walk across intervening parking lots or driveways, where physical
conditions permit, except as provided in # 10 and # 11 below,
Exception to #9
11. At street corners, if the applicant determines that it is
necessary to locate intervening parking or a drive aisle between a
building and the street corner because of the functionality of the
proposed use, then a corner landscape area must be provided and
no parking shall be located within a radius of 75 feet of the right-
of-way at an arterial street corner, ..., measured from the center
or apex of the right-of-way return.
Due to the functionality required of the proposed auto -related use
and the vehicular movements commonly associated with a fueling
facility, a 75 foot radius landscape corner has been provided at the
intersection of Lincoln and Lemay Avenues. This landscaping area
has also been transformed into a resting and gathering area with
picnic tables and sidewalks for people either from the development
or passing by.
Please provide a north arrow for the Vicinity Map on the Site Plan.
/ Done.
c/ Please construct the gate on the trash enclosure of steel or metal rather
VVV than wooden pickets.
Done. The trash enclosure gate has been redesigned to be heavy-duty
chain link with plastic inserts of a color to match the convenience store.
�d Please modify General Note #6 on the Site Plan to state: "no outside
storage will be allowed."
Done.

colored concrete access route will be provided across the
driveway separating the convenience store from the right-of-way.
The configuration of the private access drives will allow future
adjacent developments to extend these access roads providing
convenient circulation and attracting new development.
2. Access to developments must serve the needs of the pedestrian
and the bicyclists as well as the motorist. Accordingly, in the
planning and design of the development, the emphasis of the site
plan must be shared among the following: (1) pedestrian access to
the site and buildings, (2) gathering areas for people, and (3) auto
access and parking lots. The emphasis must not be placed solely
on parking and drive -through functions.
Access to the development for pedestrians has been provided in
two possible methods. First of all, direct sidewalk access to the
buildings has been provided enhanced by a colored concrete route
across the driveway. Secondly, public sidewalk has been provided
along the private access drives creating convenient access for
pedestrians into future inner developments.
Due to the use of a fueling facility and the traffic generated
around the convenience store and fuel dispensing islands, a
gathering area has been provided with two picnic tables in the
large landscaping area at the corner of the Lemay & Lincoln
intersection. The location of the gathering area was also
influenced by the sheltering of the two large cottonwoods that will
be preserved with the development of the site. The gathering area
will be easily accessible with sidewalk from the convenience store
area and the public right-of-way.
Auto access for the site has been provided in two locations from
the internal private access drive that loops through the
development. The advantage of the internal access drive is that
common access will be concentrated to both Lemay and Lincoln
Avenues for this and future development.
3. Walkways must be located and aligned to directly and
continuously connect areas or points of pedestrian origin and
destination, and not be located and aligned solely based on the
outline of a parking lot configuration that does not provide such
direct pedestrian access.
Walkways have been provided to provide direct access from the

Depending on the progression of the Lemay Town Center project,
Diamond Shamrock is willing to coordinate their efforts of the Lincoln
widening with the Wal-Mart and/ or affordable housing developers.
iv. Need a preliminary plan & profile for the ultimate design of Lincoln... &
Lemay...
See comment below under v.
V. Show Lemay ROW to south of Lincoln. Need to show future design of
Lemay & Lincoln intersection...
Per telephone conversations with Mike Herzig, the engineering design for
improvements to Lincoln Avenue and the intersection have been
postponed until determination has been made upon improvements to be
required as part of the Lemay Town Center project. Once the
determination has been made, coordination of the ultimate will be
communicated between Diamond Shamrock and the Wal-Mart and/ or
affordable housing developers.

a. As stated in the September 19, 1996 comment letter... this project lust
meet the requirements of the Interim Design Standards... Specifically, it
appears that this proposal fails to satisfy items numbered 1, 2, 3 and 9 of
the Interim Standards... and All- Development Criteria A-2.2, A-2.4 and
A-2.6 of the LDGS...
Interim Design Guidelines
Developments must be linked with surrounding areas and uses by
extending city streets, sidewalks, and/or paths directly into and
through the development, thereby providing convenient, direct
pedestrian and bicycle access to and from all sides of the
development.
Direct pedestrian and bicycle access into the development has
been provided with the installation of both sidewalk and bicycle
lanes at the access locations off both Lemay and Lincoln.
Additionally, direct access is also linked with sidewalk from the (�
public right-of-way to the convenience store and quick lube. Due
to the functionality of the auto -related use of a fueling facility, a

Diamond Shamrock had a tree life evaluation study completed by Eyerly &
Associates on July 15, 1996. The evaluation found two Cottonwoods
and one large Bur Oak worthy of preserving based on their condition.
Approximately 13 Elm trees were found on the site which will be
removed due to their susceptibility to disease. The evaluation has been
attached for your reference.
The location of the picnic table seems odd. Will this require parking
spaces?. Is it too close to the trash enclosure?
The picnic tables have been combined in the landscaping area at the
corner of the intersection to provide a gathering area for pedestrians or
bicyclists away from the traffic of fuel dispensing. This location was
specifically targeted to take advantage of the shelter provided by the
existing cottonwoods that will remain. Parking spaces are provided on -
site if necessary. The trash enclosure has been relocated away from the
Lincoln frontage to reduce visual exposure from Lincoln Avenue traffic.
Please design the trash enclosures to accommodate recycling bins and
. U collection.
The trash enclosure with dimensions of 13'-8" x 10'-0" are capable of
storing additional bins adjacent to the dumpster, if necessary.
11. Public Service Company: requests that the plat dedicate 10 feet minimum width
utility easements adjoining the new... Lemay... and Lincoln Avenue.
A 10 foot utility easement has been provided along the southerly and westerly
property lines of the development as requested.
12. Engineering Department
Buy ROW for Lemay realigned?...
Any information or questions regarding purchasing of r.o.w. will be
passed directly on to Diamond Shamrock representatives if needed.
ii. East and West ROW line for Lemay not concentric, why?
The east future Lemay right-of-way has been identified on the plans as
provided by your staff. The east and west right-of-way lines for current
Lemay Avenue are shown as provided by our surveyors.
If Wal-Mart and/ or affordable housing goes, Lincoln may need to be
widened very soon with those projects.

Re: Lincoln East PUD, Diamond Shamrock - Preliminary
Dear Mr. Ludwig:
Please accept the following resubmittal of the Preliminary Lincoln East PUD prepared
based upon comments presented by you and your staff on January 17, 1997. In order
to facilitate your review, the following has been presented in the same order as listed in
your comment summary with a brief description of the staff member's comments in
bold.
U S West: U S West has a pedestal in the area of the future curb & gutter pan
along the east side of Lemay Avenue... appears to be in conflict with future curb
& gutter... it is imperative to determine if there is a problem between the
pedestal and the proposed pan.
It is our understanding that no improvements will be required to Lemay Avenue
as a result of the Diamond Shamrock development. Although, the City has
intentions to widen and improve Lemay Avenue in the future which will require
the relocation of the pedestal. Since the applicant will be serviced by this
pedestal, it may be in U S West's best interests to relocate the pedestal during
the Diamond Shamrock development. As a result, the pedestal has been
identified on the Utility Plan to be relocated.
City of Fort Collins Transportation Planner: A direct pedestrian connection needs
to be provided between the two buildings. It appears that the current layout is a
very hostile pedestrian environment...
The Diamond Shamrock and Quick Lube properties are separated by a private
access drive into the development. Pedestrian access has been provided
between the two buildings through sidewalk pathways from each building to the
common sidewalk within the Lemay right-of-way. Due to the functionality of the
proposed Auto Related Use, a drive aisle must separate the building and gasoline
dispenser islands from the street corner to provide smooth internal vehicular. In
