There is an existing easement to take the water to the south, to a regional detention pond in the South Glen PUD. 16. A traffic study is required and should be submitted with the engineering utility plan submittal. The traffic study should focus on trip generation and distribution, access points on Horsetooth and Manhattan, and internal circulation for the entire site including the future parcels. Please contact Tom Vosburg at the Transportation Department (221-6608) prior to beginning the traffic study to discuss the focus of the study. 17. Street oversizing fees are $14,005 per acre. Engineering submittal requirements are outlined in the Development Manual. 18. Landscaping along Horsetooth Road will not be maintained by the City. The City does maintain the trees on arterial streets, as far as pruning,etc. but watering and general maintenance of the landscape strip is the owner's responsibility. 19. Planning would like to see how the undeveloped parcels will fit into this development scheme. Shared access onto Horsetooth may be required and may be necessary for internal circulation to work. Planning will review the landscape plan and has concerns related to architectural elevations, amount and type of lighting (both parking lot and building) proposed, and provision of safe and efficient bike/pedestrian connections to the neighborhoods and between this parcel and the undeveloped parcels. Staff highly recommends high pressure sodium bulbs in a sharp cut-off fixture on low poles. Foundation plantings, including upright evergreen trees and shrubs, are required to soften the building elevations. Street trees. are required along Horsetooth. .Street trees -along the access drive off of Manhattan will enhance the property as well. 20.

The landscape plan must be submitted to. the Planning Department and approved by the Planning Director. 7. Sidewalks and pedestrian/bike access should be looked at closely in development of this site. Provisions for safe, lighted, weather protected bicycle parking and enhanced pedestrian/bike connections and walkways will. greatly enhance the opportunity for people to visit the theater via foot and bike, especially during summer and fall months. There are a number of residential units within a one mile radius of this site and the potential is great. for alternative modes of travel. 8. Please contact Sharon Getz at the Building Department for information on local amendments to the current building code. A fire sprinkler system is required for this type of building. 9. You will be required to submit plans and designs for the concession area to the County Health Department. 10. Three phase power requires an engineers stamp on the electrical design for the building. 11. Submit building plans to the Fire Authority for their review. There must be a fire hydrant within 400' of the building. Fire access requirements must be met: It is not a requirement to have drive access around the entire building, as long as fire access can be met. Fire sprinkler systems allow some flexibility. There should be access on three sides at a minimum. Please consult with Mike Pretz at the Fire Authority for more information. 12. "No -Parking" lanes, or "fire lanes" are required along the curbs adjacent to the building. 13. The property is located in the McClellands-Mail Creek Drainage Basin. Stormwater development fees in this basin are $3717.00 per developed acre, subject to the coefficient of run-off for the site and the amount of on -site detention provided. You may not have to provide on -site detention, but it may be required, depending on development in the. area. Please contact Glen Schlueter or Basil Hamdan at the Stormwater Utility (221-6589) for more information about development and existing drainage plans in the area. 14. As part of your submittal, a drainage report and drainage and grading plans, "with an erosion control plan for the construction phase, are required. These must be prepared by an engineer licensed in the State of Colorado. >1 v CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: May 2, 1994 ITEM: Multi -screen theater APPLICANT: Jay Anthony - Anthony Properties 12770 Coit Road, Suite 1170 Dallas, Texas 75251 LAND USE DATA: A proposal for a 36,500 sf ten-plex, multi -screen theater on 7 acres, located at the southeast corner of Horsetooth Road and Manhattan Avenue.
