HomeMy WebLinkAboutHORSETOOTH EAST BUSINESS PARK, 2ND FILING - FINAL PUD - 43-94F - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTS (4)maybe light industrial building) seems to be quite a dramatic stretch. Although
the Horsetooth East Business Park PUD - Preliminary allows for these uses on
the pad sites throughout the plan, it would seem that a site specific plan would
be able to make a commitment to a limited number of specific uses.
This is all relative to General Note 4, dealing with building entries. Given the
proposed uses, the elevations and entries being reviewed as shown are
conceivably unrealistic and unfeasible. This could potentially be setting up one
minor amendment after another.
20. The total floor area of 32,000 (+/-) needs to be nailed down to at least a
maximum, not to exceed.
21. The parking figures on the Site Plan do not add up (111 + 4 is 115) and the
separate Land Use Breakdown as submitted shows 110 standard spaces vs the
107 on the Site Plan.
This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be
forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing
agencies.
Under the development review process and schedule there is no revision date
mandated by the City. The amount of time spent on revisions is up to the
applicant. Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City
departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project
planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings)
following receipt of the revisions. At this staff review meeting the item will be discussed
and it will be determined if the project is ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board
for a decision. If so, will be scheduled for the nearest Board hearing date with an
opening on the agenda.
Please return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of your revisions. The
number of copies of revisions for each document to be resubmitted is on the attached
Revisions routing Sheet. You may contact me at 221-6341 to schedule a meeting to
discuss these comments.

The following comments and concerns were expressed at Staff Review on June 18,
1998:
9. The traffic engineer understands that there was a traffic study submitted;
however, the applicant/developer must declare a land use at time of building
permit application. The proposed land uses as indicated in General Note 11 on
the Site Plan are much too broad.
10. The Engineering Department stated that the rights -of -way as platted for the
internal roads (Elk Road and Otter Drive) must be vacated through separate
document. The then private drives must retain public access easements. This
item cannot be scheduled for a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing until
the right-of-way vacations have been to City Council for 1st reading, at least.
11. Additional right-of-way is needed for Automation Wa and for Timberline Road to
accommodate the necessary riigh`t, urn lane. �, Q 1? .a' - s•

16. Are the streets to be detained for stormwater?
17. A public sidewalk from this site to Timberline Road, along the Elk Road/Drive
alignment, should be provided with this development. Ideally it should be on the
south side of the drive to connect with the sidewalk to be constructed on this site.
Is there existing sidewalk on the north side of the drive?
18. A grease interceptor will be required if there is to be any restaurant in this
building.
19. General Note 11 on the Site Plan is much too broad for a final plan, especially
taking into consideration the nature of the building architecture and entries. The
range of proposed uses such as retail, office, restaurant, business service,
and/or industrial uses in a building that looks, walks, and talks like an office (and

6. Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority has offered the following
comments:
a. The proposed building exceeds 5,000 square feet in size for Type V
construction; therefore, it must be fire contained or equipped with an
automatic fire sprinkler system. Note: The building exceeds 12,000
square feet and shall be sprinkled.
b. Fire hydrants are required, with a maximum spacing of 600' along an
approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1,000
gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 pounds per
square inch. Hydrants shall be of an approved type as defined by the
water department and the fire department. No commercial building can be
greater than 300' from a fire hydrant.
Please contact Ron, at 221-6570, if you have questions about these comments.
7. Janet McTague of the Light & Power Department stated that they have existing
facilities that are shown on the utility plans. Relocation will be an additional
expense to the developer, if necessary. If the existing facilities remain, they will
need to stay within an easement and future development may be affected if done
as shown on the final Site and Landscape Plans.
8. Representatives of the Mapping/Drafting Department offered the following
comments:
a. The outside boundary and legal description do close.
b. The tie distance of 220.95' on the plat drawing is 220.85' in the legal
description. They should be consistent.
C. A street right-of-way cannot be vacated by the subdivision plat. A vacation
request must be submitted to the Engineering Department and they will
process the request through to City Council.
d. Even if this request is for only one lot, the lot still needs a lot number
(suggest Lot 1).
e. This subdivision plat overlaps the plat for the proposed Rite -Aid store on
Pads B & C (Third Filing), to the northeast of this site.
The sub -title of this plat must say "Being a Replat of ..... " (see Item 2.a
above).

b. On the Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Building Elevations Plan, and Special
Review Height Analysis Plan -
HORSETOOTH EAST BUSINESS PARK PUD, SECOND FILING
The reason for these [strongly] recommended titles is that we are trying to
maintain a reasonably consistent sequence in the flings for this business park.
There is a filed subdivision plat of LOT 1 of the HORSETOOTH BUSINESS
PARK, FIRST FILING PUD, which is the former Public Service facility, on the
west side of Automation Way. Also, Pad Sites B & C of the approved Horsetooth
East Business Park PUD, Filing Two - Preliminary are currently in the City's
development review process (applicant being CLC Associates, Inc.), with the
proposed use to be a new Rite -Aid drug store. Staff wants that development to
be the HORSETOOTH EAST BUSINESS PARK PUD, THIRD FILING. All of
these sites are located in the approved Horsetooth Business Park PUD,
Amended ODP. The constructed Carriage Wash and convenience store south of
this site were approved as the Carriage Wash PUD, with no filing reference
attached.
3. A copy of the comments received from Susan Peterson of U.S. West is attached
to this letter.
4. Jenny Nuckols of the Zoning Department offered the following comments:
a. Show the handicapped ramps for the 2 parking spaces on the north side
of the building.
b. Show building envelope dimensions and distance to property lines.
C. Provide an additional bicycle rack near one of the two entrances other
than the one at the northeast corner, where a rack is already being
shown. There should be at least 6 bicycle parking spaces for the amount
of parking being proposed.
d. There should be street (shade) trees included along Automation Way.
Please contact Jenny at 221-6760 if you have questions about these comments.

Department is attached to this letter.

This development proposal is being reviewed under the Land Development
Guidance System (LDGS).
