The proposed development would provide employment opportunities within walking distance of existing residential development. The proposed Value Plastics facility promises to be not only an attractive addition to the community, but an innovative example of energy conservation as well. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you throughout the development review process. Sincerely, RIPLEY ASSOCIATES PAC7 l� Linda Ripley Principal April 4, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board c/o Ms. Kirsten Whetstone Project Planner 281 North College Fort Collins, CO 80524 RE: Project Overview and Planning Objectives VALUE PLASTICS Preliminary/Final P.U.D. Submittal Dear Planning and Zoning Board Members: Value Plastics is a manufacturing facility specializing in extruded plastic products used mainly in the medical field. The existing facility located north of Danfield Court and east of Eastbrook Drive, was built approximately nine years ago. Since that time, the company has become an industry leader in the manufacture of extruded plastic parts and is now planning a major expansion. This proposal is for a new facility that would be located adjacent to the existing Value Plastics building. The owners are applying the same formula for success to the design and construction of their new building as they have to their manufacturing business. Research, innovation and attention to detail are key. During the design process, the owners, working with The Neenan Company, are exploring innovative ways to save energy, reduce operating costs, and create a pleasant work environment for their employees. The owners, The Neenan Company, City Light and Power and the Western Area Power Administration are collaborating on this project to create a new Value Plastics facility that is significantly more energy efficient than current practice dictates. The City's Light and Power Division plans to document the design process and outcomes as a case study to be used in discussion with other customers. The intent is to demonstrate how buildings can be more energy efficient and cost effective. The same desire for quality and efficiency has also shaped the proposed landscape plan which conserves water through appropriate plant material selection and other xeriscape practices. Approximately fifty people will be employed at the new facility, expected to be completed by the spring of 1995. Since the project is situated within an existing business/industrial park area, the project team is not aware of any land use conflicts. The building and grounds are attractively designed to project a positive image for Value Plastics and also to be an attractive addition to the neighborhood. City Land Use Policies achieved by this proposed development include the following: a. The proposed development is located where existing utility infrastructure can service the proposed land uses. b. The City's existing transportation network can service this site without expansion.

TIMBERLINE PLAZA PUD-Final North Value Plastics NUMBER: 26-94 Value Plastics PUD at Timberline Plaza - Preliminary and Final, #26-94 May 23, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 5 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). If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect. 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 11final decisions$ of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; 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 decisionts shall be counted from the date of the Board's decision resolving such dispute. Value Plastics PUD at Timberline Plaza - Preliminary and Final, #26-94 May 23, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 5. Transportation Access to the site is from Eastbrook Drive and Vermont Drive. No direct access is taken off of Timberline Drive, an arterial street. Transportation staff has reviewed the proposed plans and site access study and agrees with the conclusions that key intersections will operate at acceptable levels, except for minor street left turns during the afternoon peak, with the addition of traffic from this PUD. With completion of the Fort Collins High School, Pinecone Apartments, and other residential development on the east side of Timberline Road a traffic signal at the Vermont/Timberline intersection will likely be warranted. The traffic study indicates that when the signal is constructed, the Timberline/Danfield intersection is expected to be limited to right-in/right-out/left in, in order to operate acceptably. In the long range future, the traffic study indicates that all key intersections operate acceptably. Therefore, this proposal is feasible from a Transportation standpoint. RECOMMENDATION In reviewing the Value Plastics PUD staff makes the following findings of fact: 1. The proposed PUD is in substantial conformance with the approved Timberline Plaza Master Plan. 2. The proposed PUD meets requirements and criteria of the Industrial Uses and All Development Point Charts of the LDGS. 3. The proposed land use, architecture, and site design are compatible with the surrounding land uses and buildings. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Value Plastics PUD at Timberline Plaza, Preliminary and Final #26-94 with the following condition: 1. 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 (July 25, 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 Value Plastics PUD at Timberline Plaza - Preliminary and Final, #26-94 May 23, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 The use is considered compatible with the surrounding land uses, which include light industrial, industrial, office, fire station, apartments, and a high school. 3. Design The building is proposed to be one story with a maximum height of 301. Construction materials include a combination of masonry and metal siding in earth tones with white accents and insulated glazing in pre -finished aluminum frames. The building has been designed to save energy, reduce operating costs, and create a pleasant work environment for the employees. The proposed landscape plan is designed to conserve water through appropriate plant material selection and other xeriscape practices. Street trees are included along the entire Timberline frontage, including the frontage for phase 2. A mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs are provided throughout the site. Foundation plantings around the building soften the building facade and anchor it to the ground. A perimeter security fence is provided around the site. Along Timberline Road, Eastbrook Drive, and the south border, the fence is proposed to be decorative metal fence with brick columns. Between the fire station and existing office building, the fence is proposed to be chain link. The owners are not certain that the fence will be necessary, but have requested that it be shown as an option on the plans in the event that it should become necessary. Staff recommends that the chain link fence be a dark color, either vinyl clad, painted, or anodized. Parking is adequate for the approximate 50 employees. Future parking expansions can be accommodated on site, and have been shown for final approval, if necessary. All signage must be in compliance with the City of Fort Collins sign code. All mechanical equipment and trash enclosures will be screened from pubic view. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility No neighborhood meeting was held for this request. The proposed land use is considered compatible with surrounding land uses. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that the site design and architectural character are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood of offices and industrial uses. Value Plastics PUD at Timberline Plaza - Preliminary and Final, #26-94 May 23, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-H; existing office buildings and Fire Station #10, S: I-P; NCR and Platte River Power Authority and R-H; Value Plastics, E: R-P; New Fort Collins High School and b-p; Pinecone Apartments PUD, W: R-H; existing office buildings. This property was annexed into the City as part of the Greenwalt Tenth Annexation in 1977. Timberline Master Plan and a preliminary PUD were approved in 1984 on a portion of this site for industrial and office uses. The property was subdivided with the Timberline Plaza PUD subdivision in 1985. A 25,000 sf, two story, light manufacturing/office building exists on Lot 1. Construction of Fire Station #10 has begun on a portion of Lot 3, which was replatted as the Fire Station #10 Minor Subdivision. The existing Value Plastics building was approved with the Value Plastics PUD in 1984. There is one remaining Pad site at the southeast corner of this PUD. This current proposal for the new Value Plastics building, includes a request for preliminary approval of this remaining Pad site for 12,000 square feet of office and manufacturing production. Typically, industrial uses are processed administratively as an I- P, Planned Industrial, or I-L, Limited Industrial, Site Plan Review. In this case, the underlying zoning is R-H, which permits industrial uses only when reviewed and approved as a PUD. 2. Land Use The proposed land use of 45,000 square feet of light industrial, manufacturing and office space is in substantial conformance with the approved Timberline Plaza Master Plan. The proposal scores 50% on the Industrial Uses Point Chart of the LDGS, which meets the minimum criteria of 50%. Points are earned for being part of an industrial center and for being located on an arterial street. The proposal also meets all applicable criteria of the All Development Point Chart of the LDGS, including the neighborhood compatibility criteria.
