Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility offered the following comments: a. This site is located within the Fossil Creek Basin, where the fees are $2,274 per acre. Since the automobile dealership is currently being built through Larimer County, there are no fees until the site is revised when in the City. b. The drainage report that was prepared by Sear -Brown is being delivered to the Stormwater Utility. C. One of the issues that may not have been addressed through Larimer County is water quality measures. The City would appreciate some measures being installed to address this issue. d.

Please contact Kathleen, at 224-6140, if you have questions about these comments. 10. The building permit for the ongoing site work, for the conversion to Spradley Barr Automobile Dealership, has been issued by Larimer County. Once in the City, and if zoned C - Commercial, the automobile display and sales areas on the east 1/3 of the property must go through the Project Development Plan and Final Compliance review and approval process by the Planning and Zoning Board. Primary City concerns will be centered around the landscaping and lighting for the facility, especially along South College Avenue. 6062, to schedule a "scoping" meeting to discuss the information needed in the analysis. b. Spradley Barr will need to dedicate additional street right-of-way for South College Avenue and any necessary easements along the street. C.

Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department stated that you should look carefully at the proposed grading for the site as it relates to the new automobile dealership.

Lighting installation is being done prior to completion of the annexation process. b. Customer and handicapped parking is provided at the dealership, but largely outside the area included in the PDP/Final plans. C. Gregory Electric has coordinated the required electrical permits. 7. It is our understanding that the Stormwater Utility has preliminarily reviewed the drainage and grading plans and proposed water quality measures, and found them to be acceptable. 8. We understand that the information requested by Natural Resources regarding groundwater, hydrology, and water quality is included in the Drainage Report. The dumpster area is not a part of this review; a Hazardous Materials Management Plan is not required; and the area of bluegrass lawn has been reduced. 9. Transportation comments have been addressed: a. A Traffic Impact Analysis has been provided. b. Bike parking is provided, although it is outside the PDP/Final plan area. C. The requested walk connection has been added to the plans. 10. The PDP/Final Compliance plans are being submitted for City review. 11. A neighborhood meeting was held on October 23". We believe we have addressed neighborhood concerns to the extent practical, as outlined in the Statement of Planning Objectives. 12. The required Review Fees have been provided. 13. Submittal requirements, as we determined with you on September 27' have been met to the best of our knowledge. Thank you for your efforts in the review of this proposed change in use. We look forward to working with City Staff through the review process: Sincerely, Eldon Ward, President Cityscape Urban Design, Inc. cc: Kriss Spradley, Spradley Barr Bill Barr, Spradley Barr Jim Allen -Morley, Sear -Brown Group Larry Stroud, Miscio & Stroud November 14, 1997 Steve Olt City of Fort Collins Planning Department P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Steve; Uvwpg� urban design, inc. 3555 stanford road, suite 105 fort collins, colorado 80525 (970) 226-4074 FAX (970) 226-4196 This letter is intended to indicate how the PDP and Final Compliance plans for the Spradiey Barr Vehicle Display Area respond to City Staff's Conceptual Review Comments of October 3`d, from the Conceptual Review meeting on September 22"d. Specific responses are as follows: Coordination with Fort Collins Light & Power has proceeded through the construction and annexation process as needed. 2. The existing circulation system as shown on the PDP/Final plan meets the PFA requirements for unobstructed access. 3. Engineering comments have been addressed as follows: a. The required Transportation Impact Analysis has been completed and is included in the PDP/Final submittal. b. There is no subdivision plat needed for this change in use. However, if additional right-of-way on College is required, it can be deeded by separate instrument. With Staff comments on the PDP, please indicate the code provision requiring additional R.O.W.; how much is needed; and to who the right-of-way should be dedicated (City or State). C. City of Fort Collins street oversizing fees are not applicable to this project. All building permits have been issued in Larimer County, and the required impact fees paid to the County. In other cases, we don't believe street oversizing fees have been required when a pre-existing use has been changed to another use allowed in the applicable zoning district. Also, the change in use from a parking lot to vehicle display and sales does not result in a need for increased street capacity. d. Standard utility plan requirements are not applicable to this change in use. 4. The elevations of the special display pads have been kept below the floor elevation of the dealership building. The pads are integrated into the changes in grade required for storm drainage. 5. Water and Sewer requirements have been coordinated with the applicable districts.
