This is a request to add five units to a lot with two existing houses resulting in seven total units on the lot. One of the existing houses will not be altered. The other existing house will be remodeled and enlarged and have attached to it four units. The residential density of the proposal will yield 21.2 dwelling units per acre where up to 25 units per acre is permitted. The property is located in the NCB Neighborhood Conservation, Buffer district and is in the Citys defined Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Zone." Located at 318-320 W. Myrtle St. on the north side of W. Myrtle Street, between S. Howes Street and S. Meldrum St. Vested Rights Published 11/12/2009 using the the above description (minus the location description) Please note; the existing house noted above that was not to be altered is actually a duplex. Project Type: Project Desc: File ID: 05-09/A Planner: Steve Olt DMS Project Num: CP092159 ID Topic Issue Status Round Comment By Initial Date 1 Electric Utility [2/2/09] It is assumed that the house at 320 W. Myrtle will remain a single family residence. It is also assumed that the 318 W. Myrtle Townhomes will each have an electric service not to exceed 125 amps, and will NOT use electric space heating. The developer will then need to provide an off-site easement across the rear of the property at 516 Meldrum. If these assumptions are not correct, an new electric transformer will be required near the corner of the alley and Myrtle. Normal electric development and system modification charges will apply, as well as costs to obtain the off-site easement. Please coordinate power requirements with Light & Power Engineering at 221-6700. Resolved 1 Doug Martine 02/02/2009 2 Zoning [2/6/09] The drive aisle width in the parking lot needs to be 24' per Section 3.2.2(L). Resolved 1 Peter Barnes 02/06/2009 3 Zoning [2/6/09] Need one decidiuous tree per every 40' lineal feet of the parking lot perimeter landscape strip. Also need a 6' tall privacy fence along the north and west lot lines abutting the parking lot (Sec. 3.2.1(E)(4)). Resolved 1 Peter Barnes 02/06/2009 4 Zoning [2/6/09] Please show all the cantilevers on the site plan. Resolved 1 Peter Barnes 02/06/2009 5 Zoning [2/6/09] Please show the building footprint dimensions on the site plan. Resolved 1 Peter Barnes 02/06/2009 6 Water/Wastewater [2/17/09] Is the sewer service shown extending to 318 the existing service? If yes, will it be re-used for the 5-plex? Resolved 1 Roger Buffington 02/17/2009 3/7/2011 Page 1 Project: 318 WEST MYRTLE TOWNHOMES PDP - TYPE I AND FINAL PLANS ID Topic Issue Status Round Comment By Initial Date 7 Water/Wastewater [2/17/09] Provide information on fire sprinkler system so that determination can be made regarding fire line/domestic water service requirements. Add notes regarding the abandonment on the existing 3/4-inch water service. The service must be abandoned at the main. If coordinated with the new 1-inch service, this work can be done at the same time that the new 1-inch service tap is installed. Resolved 1 Roger Buffington 02/17/2009 8 Engineering [6/2/09] Please indicate a length for the amount of conduit provided, which should span the length of the property in which the Qwest line abuts the alley. Since our meeting at the staff review this morning, I've discussed the concerns raised both within Engineering and with Bill Johnson from Qwest. In talking with Bill, he appears to be in support of the requirement of the developer providing for conduit for the Qwest line as outlined in section 3.3.2D(7)(b)2 of the City's Land Use Code. In addition, Bill indicated that with the conduit being provided, Qwest would then initiate the undergrounding of the line soon after. The developer indicated a concern with installing conduit outside of the alley within private property, though the plan indicates a 5' utility easement behind the right-of-way, whereupon the conduit can be installed. Should Qwest not wish to persure the developer providing conduit then Engineering will not look further require the conduit, though a development agreement will need to be created in order to document that conduit will not be installed at this time. [2/17/09] Is the overhead utilty line along the east side of the property proposing to remain or be removed? The drawings don't appear to show the existing overhead which seemes to imply it is to be removed. If this is the case, please indicate this on the plan set. If it is proposed to remain, please show it on the plans and provide conduit for furture undergrounding. Active 1 Marc Virata 02/17/2009 9 Engineering [2/17/09] The drawings seem to imply that the alley is of a consistent pavement width along the frontage, though the pavement width is not consistent along the east side of the property. Will the alley remain untouched or will some work occur (in conjunction with any potential undergrounding of the overhead)? The drawings should reflect the condition on the width of the alley upon completion of the project. Resolved 1 Marc Virata 02/17/2009 3/7/2011 Page 2 Project: 318 WEST MYRTLE TOWNHOMES PDP - TYPE I AND FINAL PLANS ID Topic Issue Status Round Comment By Initial Date 10 Engineering [6/2/09] Carried over from the previous as unaddressed: - Please add two vertical control benchmarks in accordance with City benchmark datum to help in verifying the elevations on the plan set. [2/17/09] The level of detail on the utility drawing set is less than a typical utility plan set. I will defer to stormwater and water/wastewater as to whether the information provided is sufficient, with the exception of the following concerns: - The utility plan set will need to be a separate set from the site plan. - The utility plan set will need to have City signature blocks added to all sheets. - Please add a detail for the curb and gutter (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards detail #701) - Should other departments require that the utility plan set be prepared by a professional engineer, more information will need to be added. - The owner's certification and director of planning signature blocks should be removed from the utility plan set. - Ideally the utilty plan set should be showing the existing water line on Myrtle to show the approximate extent of the patching on Myrtle that's needed. - Please add two vertical control benchmarks in accordance with City benchmark datum to help in verifying the elevations on the plan set. - Please add a note on the plan set indicating that all existing substandard curb, gutter and sidewalk as well as curb, gutter and sidewalk damaged during the course of construction are required to be replaced in accordance with City standards. Active 1 Marc Virata 02/17/2009 11 Stormwater [2/19/09] A more detailed grading plan needs to be submitted for review to determine if the site will drain properly and without negatively affecting neighboring properties. The datum used needs to be clarified on the plans. If the datum is not an official City of Fort Collins datum, than please provide a note stating such. Resolved 1 Wes Lamarque 02/19/2009 3/7/2011 Page 3 Project: 318 WEST MYRTLE TOWNHOMES PDP - TYPE I AND FINAL PLANS ID Topic Issue Status Round Comment By Initial Date 12 Fire Thank you for responding to the Conceptual Review comments. PFA has no additional comments or concerns at this time. Active 1 Carie Dann 02/19/2009 13 Fire [6/2/09] No comments. [2/20/09] no comments. Resolved 1 Dana Leavitt 02/20/2009 14 Engineering [2/20/09] The developer requested a contact person for Qwest. Bill Johnson at 970 377-6401 (bpjohn2@qwest.com) has been the contact we've regularly used. Resolved 1 Marc Virata 02/20/2009 15 Engineering [2/20/09] I just noticed on the landscape plan that the trash enclosure detail shows swinging doors which would swing out into the right-of-way and would not be permitted. Please use either a sliding door system or (if possible) reorient the trash enclosure in a manner that prevents swinging doors from entering the right-of-way. Resolved 1 Marc Virata 02/20/2009 16 Engineering [2/20/09] Upon verification on revised drawings for ID #8 and #15, the project would be ready fro a hearing from Engineering's perspective. The remaining comments can be addressed at the time of final plan review. Resolved 1 Marc Virata 02/20/2009 17 General [6/4/09] Comcast indicated that the developer will need to provide a 1" conduit from each dwelling unit out to the Comcast facilities. [2/24/09] Comcast Cable TV indicated that they need a 5' wide utility easement outside of the alley right-of-way. The developer will need to provide a 1" conduit from each home to the Comcast facility. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 18 Electric Utility [2/24/09] Justin Fields of Light & Power (224-6150) indicated that each dwelling unit must be individually metered. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 19 General [2/24/09] Dana Leavitt, the City's Environmental Planner, indicated that the applicant should minimize materials going to the landfill during demolition. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 20 General [2/24/09] The request for Modifications of Standards for the the front yard and side yard setbacks do apply because the applicant is adding a second story to the existing structure at 318 West Myrtle Street. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 21 General [2/24/09] The proposed new front yard setback (11'-9") for the existing structure at 318 West Myrtle Street must be shown on the Site Plan. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 3/7/2011 Page 4 Project: 318 WEST MYRTLE TOWNHOMES PDP - TYPE I AND FINAL PLANS ID Topic Issue Status Round Comment By Initial Date 22 General [2/24/09] City staff had indicated at staff review on Wednesday, February 18th that the project did not have to go through another round of review before scheduling the administrative public hearing; however, several departments (Engineering, Water/Wastewater, Stormwater, Historic Preservation, and Zoning) had comments that need to be addressed before scheduling the hearing. Peter Barnes' Zoning comments are the most significant and must be addressed to his satisfaction prior to scheduling the hearing. Active 1 Steve Olt 02/24/2009 23 Electric Utility [5/19/09] The electric meters for the 5 unit building will need to be ganged together, and located on the westerly side of either unit A, or unit 1. Active 2 Doug Martine 05/19/2009 24 Electric Utility [5/19/09] Electric development and system modification charges will apply. A preliminary estimate of these charges is in the $15,000 range. Please coordinate power requirements wit Light & Power Engineering at 221-6700. Active 2 Doug Martine 05/19/2009 25 Fire PFA has no additional comments or concerns at this time.
