Pl-140-94 SHEET 2 of 3 Page 3 Project No. PLA - 140 - 94 July 7, 1994 City of Fort Collins Staff review comments for AAMCO Transmission P.U.D. (cont.) Item #17. We have received some of Stormwater's comments and are in the process of making the revisions to route flows to the existing drain. Item #18. Due to the existing topographic and storm drain elevation constraints it is not physically feasible to route flows on the surface to allow a form of filtration prior to discharging into the City's storm drain. The most effective methods available to prevent the discharge of oils and greases are preventative maintenance operations. This could include scheduled cleaning of the surface of the paved areas, placing drip pans or cloths under all stored vehicles, and placing used parts in enclosed areas that are not subject to weather. Item # 19. Location of fire hydrants within the vicinity of the site have been indicated on the revised plans. I would assume that the requirement for additional fire hydrant for the site would depend on the buildings final code analysis. Item #20. We have revised the site plan to indicate the existing driveway locations on both sides of Mason Street within 100 feet of the site. Since we had not received the review comments from Water and Wastewater until Wednesday, July 6th, and have not as of this date received the Stormwater redlines, we are not able to make all requested revisions to the Utility Plan and Drainage Investigation by the July 8th deadline. We are intending to complete the necessary changes by Friday, July 15th, if all comments and redlines are available by Tuesday, July 12th. We understand that this may require you to place a condition on the staffs recommendations that would require the plans and development agreement to be finalized within 30 days of the Planning and Zoning Board hearing. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact this office. Sincerely, MESSNER Engineering Associates Dennis R. Messner, P.E. DRM/mkm Page 2 Project No. PIA - 140 - 94 July 7, 1994 City of Fort Collins Staff review comments for AAMCO Transmission P.U.D. (cont.) Item # 11. In order to "break-up" the expanse of the building's North Elevation, we are recommending that two or three groupings of Columnar Buckthorn be placed along this side of the building. Buckthorn is a deciduous evergreen that will grow to 15 feet in height but will not exceed 5 feet in diameter. They are also easy to maintain and are readily available. We have indicated a colored band around the upper portion of the structure to help add relief to the large expanse of blank wall. Item # 12. The plans have been revised to reflect the desired changes to the landscaping plan. The plan revisions include the addition of one Hackberry tree along the Mason Street frontage. We have not revised the plan to include the extension of 5 foot wide landscaping strip along both the North and South boundaries adjacent to the vehicle storage area. This would be a problem maintenance area and would not be within an area visible to the general public. The addition of plantings in the eastern portion of the site adjacent to the structure is considered to be more desirable than the strips along the vehicle storage area. Staff has suggested the addition of 3 or 4 Pinyon Pines along the southern boundary. Since the pines will mature with a 15 foot diameter, the tree will encroach into the driveway and onto the adjacent property. We are indicating additional Buckthorn in this area since they will be better suited to the site. Item # 13. The parking area along Mason Street is to be buffered by a 30 inch high berm and we have revised the plans accordingly. Item # 14. The Utility, Grading & Drainage plans are being combined into one set of drawings. Item #15. The plans are not being revised to indicate a "detached" 4 foot wide sidewalk along Mason Street. I have discussed this with Ms. Kerrie Ashbeck of the Engineering Department. We have agreed that since the existing walk is monolithically constructed and is an attached walk along Mason Street to the East and South that it would be more practical to leave the existing section in place. Item # 16. Colors and materials are indicated on the revised drawings. The maximum building height was indicated on the Site Development Table at 28 feet. The maximum height has been indicated on the Architectural Elevation Sheet. Engineering Project No. PIA-140-94 July 7, 1994 Ms. Kirsten Whetstone, Project Planner Community Planning and Environmental Services P. O. Box 580 281 North College Ave. Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Re: AAMCO Transmission shop, Lot 10 Creger Plaza Second Replat P.U.D. - Preliminary/Final Dear Ms. Whetstone, This office has received the City of Fort Collins Staff review comments for the subject site's Preliminary/Final P.U.D. site plan and related documentation. The following is our response and manner of addressing the review comments: Items #1, 2 & 3. Information regarding telephone service noted. Item #4. We have requested additional information from Public Service Co. to accurately identify the location of the existing gas line along the Mason Street frontage. We will revise the plans to reflect the P.S.Co. information. Item #5. The project does not store or use hazardous materials, or the material quantities are less than that required to perform a Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis. Item #6. Code analysis to be performed in conjunction with final building plan design. Item #7. The surfacing for the emergency access lane will be changed in conjunction with the surface required in the vehicle storage area. The type of gates to be used are to be either standard swing gate or sliding gate on wheel rollers. These have been indicated on the revised plan(s). The emergency access easement has been dedicated by separate document. A copy is being forwarded for your records. Item #8. This office has revised the site plan to indicate zoning, land uses, and existing driveways along Mason Street within 100 feet of the site. Item #9. The Vicinity Map is not to scale and has been so indicated on the Site Plan. Item # 10. Since the vehicle storage area is to be used for the outdoor storage of vehicles awaiting repair, it appears that the area will be required to be paved. This will also satisfy the requirements of Item #7. We have revised the plans to reflect this.

Box 580 281 North College ave. Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Re: AAMCO Transmission shop, Lot 10 Creger Plaza Second Replat P.U. D. Dear Ms. Whetstone, Attached please find the Fire And Emergency vehicle Access Easement Agreement for lots 8, 9, 10, and 11. This document has been executed and recorded. To satisfy fire access for development of lot 10, appropriate portions of the easement across lots 10 and 11 will be installed which will connect with the paved parking and traffic area adjacent to the south and east of the proposed building. No improvements to the easement on lots 8 and 9 will be made at this time. The portion of the easement on lot it will be a hard, all weath surface. Si cer ly,� eter M. Cottier Cottier Construction Inc. cottier construction, inc p.o. box 1051 fort collins, colorado 80522 ' traffic on Mason Street. The portion of site generated traffic relative to the background traffic on Mason Street will decrease as the background traffic increases. C. Mason Street Gap Analysis ' Fort Collins staff expressed concern about the availability of adequate gaps in the Mason Street traffic to allow the various ' movements to occur. The critical gaps are: minor street left turns 6.5 seconds; minor street throughs - 6.0 seconds; minor street right turns 5.5 seconds; and major street left turns - 5.0 seconds. ' The operation of the minor street will not negatively impact Mason Street. All delays will occur on the subject property or on Creger Street. However, left turns are made from the through lanes on Mason Street, therefore they will not be in an exclusive left -turn ' lane. Based upon the operations analyses, the major street left turns will operate at level of service A, indicating little or no delay. Typically, a left turn from the major street requires a gap of > 5 seconds in the opposing traffic to execute the maneuver. Based upon a negative exponential distribution, the number of gaps in the opposing traffic at the Mason/Creger/Access intersection that are > 5 seconds will exceed the number of left turns expected ' during the peak hours. The above analysis notwithstanding, long range peak hour ' traffic projections indicate that the average headway is 4.8 - 5.0 seconds in either direction in the afternoon. Volume warrants contained in "Intersection Channelization Design Guide," NCHRP 279, ' TRB, November 1985, indicate that a southbound left -turn lane is warranted on Mason Street at Creger Drive with a posted speed of 40 mph. The warrant does not go to 30 mph. While a definitive need for a left -turn lane on Mason Street cannot be made, it is ' recommended that volumes, delays, and accidents be monitored along Mason Street to determine if a left -turn lane is desirable. ' Mason Street is 40 feet wide. If left -turn lanes are desirable/necessary, they could be striped within the existing curb -to -curb width. However, the existing bike lanes on Mason ' Street would be sacrificed if this option were pursued. ' V. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the findings of these technical analyses, conclusions and recommendations are identified. - The proposed transmission repair shop is feasible from a ' traffic engineering point of view. The proposed uses will generate approximately 120 vehicle trips per day. 1 4 1 Table 3 Site and Existing Peak Hour Operation Level of Service Intersection AM PM Mason/Creger/Access (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT A C WB LT/T A D WB RT A A SB LT A A NB LT A A Table 4 Long Range Peak Hour Operation Level of Service Intersection Noon PM Mason/Creger/Access (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT A E WB LT/T A E WB RT A A SB LT A A NB LT A A KARATE I I SCHOOL L----J ,IZ 1 0 57 4/4 /r- i/29 /11 ) f I cn o a AM / PM N SITE PLUS EXISTING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Figure 4 N I KARATE I SCHOOL U'lo 15/80 + 5/40 5/15 ..." - Lo SITE co o a AM / PM LONG RANGE PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Figure 5 r IL ' of the street. Table 2 shows the daily and peak hour trip generation estimates. C. Trip Distribution Trip distribution for the newly generated trips was based upon the distribution of residential areas in/near Fort Collins. It was assumed that 40 percent of the traffic would be to/from the north ' on Mason, 30 percent of the traffic would be to/from the south on Mason, and 30 percent of the traffic would be to/from the east via Creger. ' D. Traffic Assignments Utilizing the trip generation estimates and the distribution assumptions, projected site generated peak hour vehicle trips were assigned to the key intersection. The assignments assumed full development at both, the short range and long range future. Figure 4 shows the morning and afternoon peak hour assignments with the existing traffic on this segment of Mason Street. Figure 5 shows ' the morning and afternoon peak hour traffic with the existing traffic factored to reflect a daily volume of 11,000 on this segment of Mason Street. IV. TRAFFIC IMPACTS ' A. Traffic Operation ' Using the peak hour traffic volumes presented in Figure 4, the key intersection will operate as shown in Table 3. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix D. The Mason/Creger/Access ' intersection is expected to operate acceptably. Using the peak hour traffic volumes presented in Figure 5, the key intersection will operate as shown in Table 4. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix E. With the existing geometry, the Mason/Creger/Access intersection operates acceptably, except for minor street movements during the afternoon peak hour. Occasional level of service E during the peak hours is considered to be normal at arterial street intersections. ' B. Impact on Mason Street ' Based upon both a peak hour and daily traffic analysis, it is expected that the proposed transmission repair shop will cause an increase of traffic of 2 percent over the existing peak hour 3 II 0 ?: z II ,I � p II NO SCALE MASON 1� ' �� SHARE - SHEET _�4-TRIVEWYVLY _ _ 1 I 1 \ I 1 1' In ------------- 1 L------------�- I III � p I III p II UJ III I z I a0 I I mx I� vy°Ca I I �v I iia= amw� aQ� ' I I 1 II �`------------ L -------------------- I BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD SITE PLAN Figure 3 Table 1 Existing Peak Hour Operation Level of Service Intersection AM PM Mason/Creger/Karate School Driveway (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT A C WB LT/T A D WB RT A A SB LT A A NB LT A A Table 2 Trip Generation Daily Noon Peak P.M.

The peak hour traffic counts are shown in Figure 2. Raw count data is provided in Appendix A. Based upon historic peak hour versus daily traffic information on similar streets in Fort Collins, the traffic on Mason Street, north of Creger Drive, is between 9000 and 10,000 vehicles per day. The existing peak hour operation at the counted intersection is shown in Table 1. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix B. This operation is acceptable. Acceptable operation is defined as level of service D or better. A description of the level of service at unsignalized ' intersections is provided in Appendix C. C. Surrounding Land Uses The proposed commercial use is bordered by a karate school on the north, the Albertson's Center on the east (across Mason ' Street), and the railroad on the west. There are two vacant parcels to the south. There is a veterinary hospital in lot 7 to the south. III. FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS A. Development Assumptions ' Two future years were analyzed. The short range future included the existing traffic plus the expected traffic from the transmission repair shop. The long range future included the ' existing traffic, factored to reflect daily volume of 11,000 on Mason Street. In all available traffic projections developed by the city, a daily volume of 11,000 has been the highest shown for Mason Street. This is likely the maximum for a two lane street. With this volume, it is assumed that the parcels along the west side of Mason Street will be occupied by commercial uses. ' Figure 3 shows the site plan of this facility. The transmission repair shop will share a driveway with the karate school to the north. The shared driveway has a positive effect of limiting the number of accesses to Mason Street. The proposed driveway is across from Creger Drive. ' B. Site Trip Generation Trip generation of the proposed use was estimated based upon ' a conversation with the owner. Since the owner currently operates a transmission repair shop in Fort Collins, his experience and 1993 records offered the best estimate of daily and peak hour trip generation. The morning and afternoon peak hours were used for analysis purposes due to the nature of this use and the peak hours ' 2 I x1ILv x 110.;x,A ,..mow �-o v R a-„ • •: ..c_M F,�OEN,. pAr'1�''+5"N .•. o�ITiflE i rA :i{Ura -- �xi! i O O nDR �r All T T ROIIBR�ID�Y� �� 7 � 8 1 _ <- E 1, G�1IP � i �fll(WGOD IRA 11 ,, jlMoore�.Paik*; , � �y�E-� �y gj�jj rp Wlrro�jEiC M•'"•J 1 r - `�' OLUMABITA,,��i��- iF Nw0 iB O{)3H2.LOR) A�r+ � i Y-COpVE� \ P ¢ ,0,, ARRWOIAL7 0 OFAMAN OWNI E A E < I P - MF rrl[Rwdoli AVE- Cr)pl 4 �Y, .h. ; �in r• ; � IP ('.iA•li i LN !

It is located west of the Mason/Creger intersection in Fort Collins, Colorado. The site is between Mason Street and ' the Colorado & Southern Railroad tracks. The site location is shown in Figure 1. The purpose of this study is to address the traffic impacts of this facility in the short range future (1994 plus this development) and the long range future (when traffic volumes increase to the projections developed by the City of Fort Collins). ' The focuses of this review are access requirements to Mason Street and the operation of the key intersection. ' II. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Existing Roads ' The major existing road in the area is Mason Street. Mason Street is located approximately 600 feet west of College Avenue and runs parallel to College Avenue. In southern Fort Collins, Mason ' Street runs from Monroe Street on the north through Harmony Road on the south. Mason Street is classified as an arterial street, but more accurately functions as a recirculation street for College Avenue. Since College Avenue has limited direct access to some properties, Mason Street allows access to occur easily to the properties between College Avenue and Mason Street. There is also A strip of land between Mason Street and the railroad tracks which has been developing as primarily specialty commercial uses. Between Horsetooth Road and Harmony Road, Mason Street has one 14 foot lane in each direction. There are 4 foot bike lanes on ' each side of the street and a 2 foot gutter pan. The total curb - to -curb width is 40 feet. There are sidewalks on both sides of Mason Street, except for a few short gaps on the west side of the ' street. The posted speed limit on Mason Street is 30 mph in both directions. Mason Street has signals at the Horsetooth Road and Harmony Road intersections. There are no intermediate signals on ' Mason Street. Mason Street has the right-of-way at all intermediate street and driveway stop sign controlled intersections. B. Existing Traffic Conditions ' Peak hour traffic counts were obtained at the Mason/Creger/ driveway intersection near the subject property. Counts were obtained during the morning and afternoon peak hours of the street I AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP SITE ACCESS STUDY FORT COLLINS, COLORADO JUNE 1994 Prepared for: Cottier Construction, Inc. P.O. Box 1051 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Prepared by: MATTHEW J. DELICH, P.E. 3413 Banyan Avenue Loveland, CO 80538 Phone: 303-669-2061 PLANNING OBJECTIVES LOT 10 CREGER PLAZA SECOND REPLAT PUD Lot 10 Creger Plaza Subdivision, also known as 3737 South Mason, consists of 31,737 square feet. The area is zoned HB. The proposed use is an AAMCO transmission repair - shop. The site gains access off of Mason street via an existing curb cut shared with the adjacent lot. Parking and fire lanes are also shared. All vehicle repairs are performed inside the building. Adequate vehicle storage is provided at the rear of the site inside a six foot high screened fence. The business employs six people. The building orientation is east to west allowing access to overhead doors on the south exposure. Building height will be softened by lowering the parapet height on the street frontage and use of a landscape berm, street trees, and other plantings between the street and parking area. Building colors will be earth tones. Landscaping at the side lot lines will be low maintenance. The proposed use is compatible with the south college corridor and HS zone. It is consistent with city policies to locate development where existing utility infrastructure can service the proposed use and where the existing transportation network can adequately service the site without expansion. Land uses surrounding the site are all commercial, the Burlington Northern railroad main line is immediately adjacent to the west.

The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decisions, of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approvals however, in the event that the dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the running of time for the filing of an appeal of such 11final decision's shall be counted from the date of the Boardes decision resolving such dispute. AAMCO TRANSMISSION PUD, Lot 10, Creger Plaza, 2nd Replat, Preliminary and Final,#32-94 July 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 3. The PUD has been reviewed and approved by the City's Transportation Department and found acceptable. 4. The proposed land use is considered compatible with the surrounding area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the AAMCO Transmission PUD, Lot 10 Creger Plaza 2nd Replat, Preliminary and Final, #32-94 with the following conditions: 1. That prior to issuance of building permits, the final drainage report and drainage and grading plans, including the erosion control plan and water quality analysis for the operation, as required by Stormwater, be approved and signed -off by the City's Stormwater Utility. 2. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D., plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the second monthly meeting (September 26, 1994) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding or second succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made). AAMCO TRANSMISSION PUD, Lot 10, Creger Plaza, 2nd Replat, Preliminary and Final,#32-94 July 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Landscape materials have been focused on the front portion of the building and the Mason streetscape, as the Railroad to the back and east is an area of lesser visual interest. A sod berm along Mason Street provides screening of headlights for the parking area. Shade trees are provided along Mason Street and along the rear of the lot along the Railroad ROW. Foundation plantings soften the building facade. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility No neighborhood meeting was required for this proposal. The proposed land use is considered compatible with the surrounding area and staff believes that issues related to neighborhood compatibility have been addressed. 5. Transportation Access to the site is off of South Mason Street via a shared access drive with the property to the north. The driveway aligns with Creger Drive on the east side of Mason Street. A detailed traffic study for this proposal was submitted. The City's Transportation staff have reviewed the traffic study and accept the conclusions that the increase in traffic due to this request will not significantly impact the neighboring streets and circulation system. A center left -turn lane on Mason Street is not warranted at this time, but in the future, traffic volumes, delays, and accident rates need to be monitored to determine when a center left turn lane would be desirable. 6. Storm Drainage The City Storm Water Utility has reviewed the revised Storm Drainage Report for this project and finds that it adequately addresses their concerns for erosion control measures for water quality, off -site detention requirements, and necessary off -site easements. Approval of this project is conditioned on the approval of the final drainage report and grading plans to be submitted prior to application for building permit. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In reviewing the preliminary and final PUD plans, the following findings of fact have been made: 1. The preliminary and final PUD scores 55% on the Auto Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart of the LDGS. 2. The PUD satisfies the All Development Criteria of the LDGS. AAMCO TRANSMISSION PUD, Lot 10, Creger Plaza, 2nd Replat, Preliminary and Final,#32-94 July 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: H-B; Lot 11 Creger Plaza 2nd Replat (Karate West) S: H-B; Lot 9 Creger Plaza 2nd Replat (vacant) E: H-B; Movie Theater and Cottonwood Shopping Center W: H-B; Burlington Northern Railroad and vacant The property is zoned H-B, Highway Business. This site is Lot 10 of Creger Plaza 2nd Replat. This subdivision was originally approved in 1977 and replatted in 1982 for 13 commercial lots. There have been no previous development proposals approved on this site. The site is currently vacant. 2. Land Use The proposed use consists of a 5060 square foot building on a 0.66 acre site. The Preliminary and Final PUD score 55% on the Auto - Related and Roadside Commercial Uses point chart of the Land Development Guidance System. This exceeds the minimum required score of 50%. Points were earned for a) not at two arterial streets, b) part of a planned center (South College Regional Shopping Center), c) joint parking and access, d) energy conservation, and e) contiguity to existing development. 3. Design AAMCO Transmission is a transmission repair shop. All vehicle repairs are performed within the building. Vehicle storage is provided at the rear of the site, fully enclosed with a chain link fence with slats. The storage area is paved and part of it serves as an emergency access lane to provide access to the rear of this. building and a future building on the lot to the south. Shared access, emergency access, and parking have been provided with the properties to the north and south (see attached Access Easement Agreement). The AAMCO Transmission building will be a maximum of 28' in height with a flat roof, and parapet to conceal roof top equipment. Walls will be a tan color and will be a split faced concrete block material. The flat roof design is consistent with other buildings in the area and the scale of the building is appropriate for the site. Accent band/s of a fluted concrete block in a rust color will provide some architectural relief. The rust colored overhead doors face south, to be less visible"from the street. The building will be set back approximately 87 feet from Mason Street.
