Specifically, the units should not be used for the practice of musical bands or storage of hazardous materials. 16. Perimeter fencing should be attractive. If chain link is to be used, then it must be vinyl -clad to darken the appearance. 17. Mini -storage units are difficult to landscape due to the amount of hard surface area. The P.U.D. Landscape Plan should include deciduous shade trees to soften the appearance and conifers to help screen the outside storage areas. 18. Additional comments may be forthcoming from the Transportation Department and the Poudre Fire Authority. The applicant is encouraged to follow up with these two departments to address the specific concerns relating to traffic circulation and fire protection. 6. The Uniform Building Code requires that any areas greater than 5,000 square feet must be compartmentalized and separated by one -hour fire rated construction. The office must be handicap accessible. 7. The site is located in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Basin Fee is $1,804 per acre. Permission must be obtained from the Ditch Company in order for storm flows to enter the ditch. In addition, the authorized representative of the Ditch Company must sign the Utility Plans. 8. At the time of P.U.D. submittal, a complete Drainage Report, Drainage.and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted meeting all the requirements of the City's Stormwater Utility.

For further information, please contact the Stormwater Utility at 221- 6589. 9. The P.U.D. Site Plan must include the necessary offsite information to illustrate the access, parking, and circulation patterns from College Avenue to the site. At the conceptual stage, it is difficult to visualize access to the College Avenue curb cut in front of Kelly Moore Paints and the College/Rutgers intersection. 10. A minor traffic impact analysis will be required. This analysis should address trip generation, 'trip distribution, and impact on adjacent intersections. For further information, please contact Eric Bracke, Transportation Department, 221-6608. 11. A State Highway Access Permit must be obtained from the State Department of Highways. Data must be provided regarding the increase of traffic at the two College Avenue intersections. The City. of Fort Collins Engineering Department will assist you in this application.

This fee will be attributed only to the phase under construction as authorized by the Final P.U.D. Future phases will be subject to the fee at the time of development. 13. The Engineering Department will coordinate the review of the Utility Plans and generate the Development Agreement. This Agreement will specify the amount of the Erosion Control Bond to be posted with the City at the time of Building Permit issuance. It is very important that the Utility Plans be submitted in complete form at the time of P.U.D. submittal. 14. The buildings should be constructed of masonry. The brochure indicates that the building is available in a mauve -colored textured block. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: July 12, 1993 ITEM: Watterson Storage - (Approximately 2103 South College Avenue) APPLICANT: Mr. Jim Watterson, 120 1/2 West Laurel Street, Fort Collins, CO. 80521 c/o Stewart and Associates, 103 South Meldrum Street, Fort Collins, CO. 80521. LAND USE DATA: Request 99 mini -storage units (10,400 square feet) and managers office (765 square feet) and outside storage on approximately three acres located west of Kelly Moore Paints and north of Taylor Rental at roughly 2103 South College Avenue.

Please coordinate closely with the Light and Power Department on the location of the electrical transformer. For further information, please call Doug Martine, 221-6700. 2.
