HomeMy WebLinkAboutLINCOLN EAST CONVENIENCE CENTER PUD (DIAMOND SHAMROCK) - PRELIMINARY - 40-94C - CORRESPONDENCE -23. For auto related uses, the Street Oversizing Fee is $14,005 per acre. 24. Utility Plans and Development Agreement must be signed off by all the affected parties prior to obtaining a building permit. For further information regarding the content of a Utility Plan submittal, Development Agreement, or other engineering issues, please contact Kerrie Ashbeck, 221-6750. 25. The O.D.P. should indicate future street connections to the east. This could be at Duff, Webster, and/or Poudre Parkway. The intention is to provide an access to the adjacent Fort Collins Business Center to the Lemay Bypass. 26. As you are aware, the City has recently adopted new standards and guidelines for commercial development. The intent is to bring commercial development up closer to the street edge so bikes and pedestrians do not have to cross drive aisles and parking lots to reach the front door. Obviously, a c-store with gas pumps presents a challenge. Staff recommends that the way to comply with the spirit of the new standards is to provide a west -facing entry on the c-store to establish a clear relationship to the Lemay frontage. A raised, scored -concrete crosswalk across the drive aisle should link the store entry to the sidewalk that connects out to Lemay. Further, this west -facing entry should feature an inviting porch, portico, covering, benches, bike rack, lighting, and other design elements that clearly indicate a linkage to the sidewalk along Lemay. 27. A neighborhood meeting will be required. Staff will prepare the notification area since the 500 foot radius may not be effective. 14. According to the maps, portions of the site are located in the floodplains of both Dry Creek and the Poudre River. Please contact Mike Grimm, Stormwater Utility Floodplain Administrator, 221-6589 for accurate verification. It may be necessary to obtain a Floodplain Use Permit and raise the buildings at least 18 inches above the base flood elevation. 15. Onsite stormwater detention will be required. Please note that there are restrictions downstream which means that the site will be allowed to release storm flows only at the two-year historic rate. 16. The quality of the stormwater that is released should be treated by the best management practice as per the standards of the Urban 'Drainage and Flood Control District in metro Denver. For further information on treatment techniques, please contact Kevin McBride, 221-6589. 17. As the property owners are aware, the San Cristo P.U.D., located to the north, needs a drainage easement across this property. The property is obligated to accept the historic runoff from adjacent properties. A drainage easement could be located in the 30 foot wide sanitary sewer easement and provide an outfall for San Cristo. Please contact Jim Klein, Fort Collins Housing Authority, 221-5484, for further information. 18. It is recommended that the developer's consulting engineer meet with Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility Engineer, 221-6589, prior to designing the drainage and grading plan. 19. At this time, Lincoln and Lemay are both classified as arterial streets needing 50 feet of half width for right-of-way. A 15 foot wide utility easement is needed adjacent to this right-of-way. With the existing telephone easement, a utility coordination meeting may be necessary so that all utilities may be accommodated. 20. For the Lemay Bypass, any right-of-way that is needed that goes beyond the normal dedication requirements for land development will be purchased by the City as part of the capital improvement project. For further information regarding the Lemay Bypass, please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605. 21. A traffic impact analysis will be required. This study shall determine the need for any auxiliary turn lanes. Please note that a curb cut on Lemay has been approved for a use -by -right development on Lot 4 across the street on the west side of Lemay. Plans for Lot 4 development are available from the Engineering. and Zoning Departments. 22. For further information on the scope of the traffic study, please contact Eric Bracke, Transportation Engineer, 221-6608. Is 5. The installation of underground fuel tanks will require the submittal of a Hazardous Material Impact Analysis to be reviewed by the Fire Prevention Bureau of the Poudre Fire Authority. The installation contractor must obtain a separate permit from P.F.A. Please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570, for further information. 6. Both the convenience store and the drive -through restaurant will require separate permits from the Larimer County Health Department. Please contact Jim Devore, 498-6775, for further information. 7. All buildings and parking lots must be handicap accessible as per the locally adopted amendments to the Uniform Building Code. This requires a handicap accessible route from the building exits out to the public sidewalks. For further information, please contact Sharon Getz, 221-6760. 8. The City's Water Utility has a 24 inch diameter water line in Lemay on the west side of the right-of-way. A repay is due from the developer to the City on this water line. Please contact Brian Hahn, 221-6681, for an estimate of this repay. The City's existing sanitary sewer line is installed as shown on the plan. At the time of platting, this sewer line shall be placed within a 30 foot wide easement. •IM. 9. At the time of submittal for an O.D.P., an overall utility plan should also be provided. 10. The Diamond Shamrock development will require separate water and sewer services for the c-store and carwash. The carwash will require a sand and oil trap. 11. Both the Diamond Shamrock c-store and the drive -through restaurant will require. grease traps. For further information regarding water and sewer issues, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 12. The Department of Natural Resources supports the efforts to save as many of the existing trees as possible. Protecting the root zones during construction is imperative. The landscape plan, therefore, must include detailed tree preservation notes. Also, it appears that there is a low area along East Lincoln that features cattails. The developer is encouraged to incorporate these cattails into the drainage and grading plan. 13. The site is divided into two drainage basins. First is the Dry Creek Basin with fees of $5,000 per acre subject to the amount of stormwater detention and the runoff coefficient. Second is the Poudre River Basin which presently has no fees. Fees will be assessed in accordance with the natural drainage of the site and into which basin accepts the developed storm flows. C. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: April 8, 1996 ITEM: Lincoln East O.D.P. and P.U.D. (Diamond Shamrock) APPLICANT: Mr. Rick Gipson, Diamond Shamrock c/o Mr. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request for an O.D.P. on approximately 14 acres located at the northeast corner of East Lincoln Avenue and North Lemay Avenue. Anticipated land uses include business services, auto related, and industrial. Request for Preliminary P.U.D. for a convenience store, gas pumps, canopy, one -bay carwash on 1.4 acres on the immediate corner (Lot 1) and drive -through restaurant (Lot 2). COMMENTS: 1. Light and Power has an existing conduit on East Lincoln that can serve both Lots 1 and 2. A single transformer should serve both lots. Existing overhead lines would have to be removed at developer's expense. 2. Transformer must not be placed adjacent to either street but shall be located internally to the site. The transformer must be screened from public view. Screening may be by either a solid enclosure meeting the clearance specifications of. Light and Power or by landscape materials. The location must be within 10 feet of hard surface for emergency change -out by a boom truck. 3. Light and Power may install new streetlights. If so, street trees must be kept 40 feet away and ornamental trees must be kept 15 feet away from streetlights. The final landscape plan must include the location of any new streetlights so there are no conflicts. For further information regarding electrical issues, please contact Doug Martine, 221-6700. 4. The site is located in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. Signage allowances are more restrictive in this district.
