Response: Acknowledged Department: Outside Agencies Contact: Bob Rulli, , Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/21/2013 05/21/2013: The existing building at 5900 S. College Ave. has a 25 pair entrance cable (in property owner 2" entrance conduit) and an inside terminal. It is fed from cable to the northeast on Saturn Drive. The inside terminal and cable does not appear to be impacted by the plan and should be sufficient for any telecom needs for the project. However, any changes (relocations, modifications, ect.) to the existing cable and terminal are billable in advance to Magnum Motors. The CTL process is time consuming and must be coordinated in advance with Engineering and billing, prior to working being done. The General Contractor and owner need to contact CTL engineering in advance, for site meet, proposal and billing to be sent to Denver for processing before a construction job will be released. The feed pedestal on Saturn Dr. also does not appear to conflict with any planned uses, however if landscaping or street modifications require it to be relocated, the above billing process is also in affect. -‐Bob Rulli, 970-‐490-‐7503 Response: Acknowledged Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Wes Lamarque, 970-‐416-‐2418, wlamarque@fcgov.com this project. Response: Acknowledged Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/21/2013 05/21/2013: New trees are shown on the east side of the project where there are existing trees. These proposed trees include 4 Southwest White Pine and 3 Honeylocust. It appears that the existing trees in this area are of a quantity and size that they would limit the successful planting of the 7 proposed trees for this area. Please clarify that there is adequate space to add these 7 trees where existing trees are shown. Response: Acknowledged Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/21/2013 05/21/2013: Show the actual locations of all existing trees on Sheet LP102 so they can be displayed as part of the landscape design. Response: Acknowledged – all existing trees and their locations are shown per the survey provided. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/21/2013 05/21/2013: Evaluate adding two canopy shade trees to function as street trees at the NW part of the site in the landscape area along the front of the project just to the south of Saturn. Response: Two additional trees cannot be added to this area due to utility conflicts. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 05/21/2013 05/21/2013: Where is the location of the bioswale? Will it impact any of the existing trees. the development agreement due to the frontage of College Avenue not being in conformance with the long-‐term access control plan for south College Avenue. Since the conceptual, the City has modified its approach to addressing satisfying the local street obligation. The outstanding obligation for the local street portion of College Avenue is no longer in this case viewed as to include pavement, curb and gutter; the outstanding portion of local street would be for sidewalk only, reducing the amount of local street obligation attributable to the property owner. That said, rather than looking for the satisfaction of the local street obligation for sidewalk to be tied with future development/redevelopment, the proposal would need to either build the sidewalk along College Avenue, or provide for the local street portion of sidewalk at this time. If providing funds in lieu of construction, the City has determined that for 2013, the established local street portion of sidewalk is $35.00 per foot, which equates to $9,435.30 based on 269.58 feet of College frontage. Under the scenario of payment in lieu of construction, payment would need to be provided prior to final plan approval, or a development agreement would be needed tying payment of this prior to issuance of a building permit. Otherwise, the sidewalk would need to be designed and shown on the drawings (7 feet in width, detached) and would need to be completed in conjunction with the required sidewalk along Saturn Drive, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Response: Acknowledged Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: Information on the plans including grading and utility information isn't legible with the lineweight used and needs to be updated for review. Response: Acknowledged Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: A 15 foot utility easement behind the College Avenue right-‐of-‐way along with a 9 foot utility easement behind Saturn Drive would need to be dedicated unless agreed to otherwise by the utility providers. Response: Acknowledged plan sheets for required notes provided by City staff. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: The site plan is difficult to read with the contours and engineering information grayed on the plans. Please turn these layers off to clean up the site plan. Response: Acknowledged -‐ see revised site plan sheets. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: The location of the bike parking is not optimal as it is in a low visibility back of the building area and not near and main entrance. Safety could be a concern in this location. Response: Acknowledged Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-‐221-‐6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: The construction of sidewalk along Saturn Drive abutting the property and tying into the sidewalk network directly east should be provided with the proposal. The sidewalk would ideally be a minimum 5 feet in width, detached a minimum 6 feet from the curb. The existing trees along the Saturn Drive frontage may result in the need to explore other sidewalk configurations along all or a portion of the property. ADA compliance for grade would need to be ensured and additional right-‐of-‐way or access easement may be needed if the sidewalk placement falls outside of existing right-‐of-‐way. Response: See sheet LS101 and LS401 for sidewalk alignment and grading. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/22/2013 05/22/2013: Access ramps across the driveways for the sidewalk installation would be needed and the sidewalk would need to carry through the driveways in accordance with LCUASS detail 707. The sidewalk would tie into the depressed curb with an access ramp at the Saturn Drive / College Avenue intersection. The driveway approaches may need be displayed and customer parking spaces. Response: See sheet LS101 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/24/2013 05/24/2013: The required sidewalks will need to be formally depicted on the site plans and provided via a second round of review. Staff is willing to meet on site to discuss the existing conditions and proposed configurations, however we will need to see this on the plans before we move forward to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing. Response: See sheet LS101 for required sidewalk improvements per meetings with City staff. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/24/2013 05/24/2013: Since this project is a combined PDP and Final Plan, all comments must be resolved through formal rounds of review prior to proceeding to hearing. Response: Acknowledged Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/11/2013 06/11/2013: Please add the following note on the plans: All conduit, meters vents and other equipment attached to the building shall be painted to match surrounding building surfaces.
