HomeMy WebLinkAboutORCHARD PLACE PUD PRELIMINARY - 40 93 - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSgiving you 60 days to finalize the plans and agreement, after which time, you must submit a request for an extension from the Planning and Zoning Board. If you have any questions about these comments or would like to schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221- 6750. Sincerely, Kirsten Whetstone Project Planner cc: Kerrie Ashbeck, City Engineering City Stormwater Utility Engineering Consultant File issues need to be spelled out. 20. Please provide handicapped access to the trash collection area. 21. The Planning Director has requested that a neighborhood information meeting be held for this project prior to the Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. Because of the hold-up with Stormwater, this should not delay the project further. I will need about 10 days to get letters out and schedule the meeting, possible at the Bethel Baptist church. Please let me know whether August 5th, 9th, or 16th will work for you (from 7 to 9 pm.) 22. A notary should be added for the owner signature. 23. Label the land use across Taft Hill (vacant and Glenmoor PUD townhouses). 24. Additional shade trees should be added on the east property line to provide additional buffering for the existing single family house. 25. On the point chart, points were taken for "North Fort Collins". Technically one needs to be north of Laurel Street extended, to qualify. This project still meets the density chart without those points. What major employment center did you have in mind? 26. The landscape treatment of the parking lot, with the berms and trees is great. The berms should extend the full length of that planting area. 27. What kind of outdoor lighting will be provided? 28. I did not receive a subdivision plat. I don't believe that this parcel is a legally subdivided lot and it would therefore have to be platted as part of this PUD process. Please submit a plat ASAP. This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the September 27, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due September Sth, 1993 by 12:00 noon. PMT1s, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due Sept. 20th. Final mylars and other documents are due Sept. 23rd. Please be aware that if a development agreement and utility plans are required with this project, these documents and plans must be signed prior to the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing. If not, a condition will be placed on the project .' 6570 to discuss the details. 9. Please see attached comment sheet for comments from the Storm water Utility. Please note that Stormwater has not accepted the preliminary drainage report and plans, or the revised plans of 7.16 and have returned the submittal as incomplete. Stormwater will be delaying this project for at least a month and will be waiting for a revised, complete drainage submittal before making any commitments for Planning and Zoning Board dates. The August meeting is definitely out of the question. The September 27th meeting is the next opportunity to go before the Board. 10. Parkland fees are currently $625.00 per unit and are collected at the time of building permit issuance. City Council has approved an increase to $779.00, effective August 13th. 11. A traffic report and utility plans will be required. These should be submitted as soon as possible if review is to continue. Please contact Eric Bracke at 221-6608 about what Transportation is expecting regarding the traffic report/letter. 12. Soils report concerns about basements, perimeter drains, and footings will need to be addressed prior to final review. 13. See the site plan for additional engineering comments (redlines returned to Engineering consultant). 14. Please include the attached notes concerning landscape maintenance. A separate landscape plan is required to show full detail and to provide the proper notes. 15. The landscape plan should identify existing and proposed vegetation. Foundation plantings or a typical should be detailed at final. For preliminary it would be enough to indicate that foundation plantings will occur. The existing vegetation should be shown on the site plan, include any existing vegetation on adjacent properties within 100' to 1501, this is particularly important along the north and east property lines to give us some idea about existing buffering. 16. What is the area north of the one story storage building? Is it residential, a vacant lot, or what? 17. Please show the proposed location of the cedar fence in better detail. It is not easy to see where the fence will be located. Separating the site and landscape plans would help this. 18. Indicate surrounding zoning information. 19. Please clarify who will maintain the landscaping around the buildings, by the parking lot, along the ROW, etc. Ownership I July 23, Commui Planning and Environmental Planning Department 1993 Don Richmond Richmond Associates 420 W. Oak Street Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Don, rices- I Staff has reviewed your submittal for Orchard Place PUD and offers the following comments: 1. US West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench, street crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities within the project, and the developer pays up front construction costs for facilities within the development: 2. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans will be paid for by the developer. 3. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. 4. You will need to coordinate a transformer location with Light and Power. 5. There is no utility easement shown along either the east and west property lines or the north lot line. US West will require one. 6. It is recommended that all areas outside of building envelopes be dedicated'as utility easements on the final plat, unless separate utility easements are dedicated. A word of caution about blanket easements, there may be problems with encroachment if buildings change shape or size slightly. 7. Columbine Cable Vision is also requesting adequate utility easements. 8. The building does not meet the 150' fire access measurement from Orchard Place ROW. The parking lot must meet parking lot design standards with a 24' travel lane at the driveway and 20' inside and 40' outside turning radii. The 20' travel lane in the parking lot may be acceptable, if you can get the turning radii to work. Please contact Warren Jones at 221- 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
