The following comments and concerns were expressed at staff review
on May 19, 2004:
Engineering:
1. Xcel Energy has a concern about the separation between their
existing gas main and the proposed north face of the building in
Phase One.
2. The proposed overhang into the utility easement, for the north
face of the building, could be problematic.
3. There is a concern about the u-shaped fire access going from
parking lot to parking lot, potentially without an emergency
access easement in the existing parking lot.
4. The sheet titles need to be made consistent with one another.
Transportation Planning:
1.o, Is the car wash to be an attended facility or a completely
automated facility?
2. A direct pedestrian connection may be needed.
3. A bicycle rack probably is not needed for this facility.
4. Please schedule a meeting with Tom Reiff to discuss his issues,
concerns. He can be reached at 416-2040.
Light & Power:
1. More definition is needed for the street right-of-way and
utility easements. This will have an effect on the placement of
the electric transformer.

At final design, the detention pond needs to be discussed as to what
might be required due to there being two ponds connected with a
culvert. The culvert might need to be sized to carry the 100-year
flow for some or all the basins.

[1/5/04] According to the Section 3.2.2 (C.5.a) of the Land Use
Code walkways that link street sidewalks to building entrances
through parking lots or along drive aisles shall be a minimum 6 feet
in width. This is especially important along transit routes and a
planned major transit station for the Mason Transportation Corridor.
Please increase the walkway along the east side of the property to a
minimum of 6 feet. Also is there an opportunity for the walkway to
be located so that both adjacent land uses can utilize the walk? For
example, can the walk be located further to the eastern edge of the
property line along the Phase II section of the parcel?

[5/18/041 A bike rack will need to be labeled and identified on the
retail building proposed as Phase II of the project. It will also
need to be located near the building entrances. The bike rack shown
for the Phase I car wash is not required if the facility is
unattended.
[1/5/04] See red lines for the suggested bike rack location. Please
refer to Section 3.2.2 (C.4.a,b,c) for the design of the bike rack.
Also please identify and label on all plan sets for the next

Please revise old rainfall intensity value of 8.9 in/hr. See
drainage report. This value should be less than the value for the
current rainfall criteria. This will slightly increase the
detention requirement. The previous drainage report had the correct
old rainfall intensity.

[5/4/04] A fire lane is shown on the plans, but is shown only as a
'u' and isn't shown to connect to another fire lane or street.
Usually an emergency access easement is required to be dedicated for
fire lanes, and the EAE would connect to a public ROW or another
EAE. Please work with PFA, and if they require an easement, please
show it on all plans and provide a legal, sketch, and deed of
dedication using the City's standard language. Please contact me if
you need a copy of this language.

Also, please work with XCEL/PSCO to address their concerns with the
building placement in relation to their gas line in the utility
easement on Horsetooth. Comment from Jim DeWilde: "PSCO has an
existing 4" PED gas main laying 12' into the existing 15' U.E. PSCO
needs min. 3' clearance from gas main to proposed building wall.
Any relocation of main would be at developer's expense."
[12/30/031 Reading the conceptual review letter sent to the
applicant by Current Planning, then reading conceptual review
comments in the Engineering file, it appears that engineering was
mis-quoted in the letter sent to the applicant. That letter stated
that: "Development of this property will have to dedicate necessary
additional street right-of-way (ROW) and easements behind the ROW
for West Horsetooth Road. There currently is 50' of right-of-way
(south of the centerline of the street) and 57.5' is ultimately
required." Engineering's file comments state that the existing ROW
on Horsetooth is 50' plus 12' for the right turn lane, and 7.5' of
additional ROW is needed, and that the utility easement should be a
total of 15' beyond the new ROW. The additional 7.51 of ROW is
still required, as is the IS' utility easement behind that.
1.8.03 - Following a meeting of the Transportation Coordination
group this morning, it was agreed that the City would be willing to
accept ROW dedication to the back of the existing sidewalk,
approximately 4' as shown on the plans, in lieu of the standard 7.5'
ROW. Please note this as an approved variance on the utility plans.
Variance of the utility easement width would need to meet the
approval of possibly affected utilities. If a narrower utility
easement is requested, please submit an 8 1/2 x 11 sketch of the
area showing the proposed utility easement, and I will route it to
the appropriate utilities for their approval. The utilities are
given 2 weeks to respond to these requests.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for PARK SOUTH COMMERCIAL PLAZA,
2nd Filing, Lot 2B, HORSETOOTH CARWASH - TYPE I (LUC), and we offer
the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Topic: Building Plans
Number: 102 Created: 5/25/2004
[5/25/041 Rick Lee of the City of Fort Collins Building Department
indicated that the information submitted is very limited. A pre -
submittal meeting should be scheduled with the Building Department
before the construction documents proceed too far. Attached are the
various codes that the Building Department will enforce.
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number: 112 Created: 5/25/2004
[5/25/041 The proposed landscaping needs to, be re-evaluated to
ensure that the required screening for the vehicular use areas and
parking lots is being provided. There is a question as to whether or
not some of the proposed shrubs will provide the minimum 30" height
and 70% screening required in Section 3.2.1(E) (4) (b) of the Land Use
Code.
Number: 113 Created: 5/25/2004
[5/25/041 A 5' wide landscaped setback area is needed along the
east property line of Phase Two of this development. Please see
Section 3.2.2(J) of the Land Use Code. The landscaped setback area
on the Landscape Plan scales to be 3.5' wide.
Topic: Site Plan
Number: 103 Created: 5/25/2004
[5/25/041 Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department indicated that the
Site Plan still needs building dimensions for both buildings and
scaled distances to at least 2 of the nearest property lines.
Number: 104 Created: 5/25/2004
[5/25/041 The Site Plan does not show the full width of the
proposed sidewalk along the east property line for the car wash site
(Phase One). A portion of the width of the walk would be on the
property to the east. Assume there is the need for an easement from
that property owner to construct a portion of the sidewalk on their
property.
