Response Letter
Mainstreet Health & Wellness Suites
November 5, 2014
We are pleased to submit the Project Development Plan and Subdivision Plat documents for
Mainstreet Health & Wellness Suites for your review. The following are responses to the
Preliminary Design Review comments dated June 27, 2014:
Department: Planning Services
Contact: Noah Beals, 970-416-2313, nbeals@fcgov.com
1. As described Mainstreet Health & Wellness Suites is considered to be a Long Term Care
Facility as defined by the Land Use Code (LUC). The Site is currently located in the
Harmony Corridor (H-C) Zone District. In the H-C Long-Term Care facility is a listed
permitted use subject to a Type 2 review (decision maker is the Planning and Zoning
Board).
LUC Section 2.2.2 A Type 2 review requires a Neighborhood meeting prior to the formal
submittal of a Project Development Plan (PDP).
Cole: Comment noted.
2. This site is also located within the Harmony Technology Park Overall Development Plan
boundaries and is subject to be in compliance with this plan and its subsequent amendments.
Cole: Comment noted.
3. LUC 4.26(B) and 4.26(E)(1) All development shall comply with the Harmony Corridor land
use and locational standards (standards/guidelines), this can be found at
http://www.fcgov.com/advanceplanning/documents.php.
Cole: Comment noted.
4. LUC 4.26(D)(3) The max height for a non residential building is 6 stories. Long-Term Care
Facility is considered an Institutional use, therefore non residential. The current proposal
shows a height of 2 stories and in compliance with the standard.
Cole: Comment noted.
5. LUC 4.26(E)(2)(a) In case of multiple parcel ownership the project will need to show
intergrate pattern of streets, outdoor spaces, building styles and land uses.
Achieving compliance with the HTP Overall Development Plan helps meet this standard the
applicant should pursue establishing cross access easements connecting to the surrounding
parcels.
Cole: The project is designed to comply with the HTP Overall Development Plan as noted.
In addition, the applicant is pursuing the establishment of cross access easements connecting
to the parcel to the north as suggested.
CIVIL ENGINEERING / SURVEYING / PLANNING / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
6. Institutional buildings LUC 3.5.3(C)(2) Build-to-lines established to form visually
continuous pedestrian-oriented street fronts, with no vehicle use area between the building
faces and street. At least 30% of the total length of the building shall extend to the build-to-
line. When the site has multiple streets the building shall be built to at least 2 of them.
Along a nonarterial street the building will need to built in between 0 to 15 ft. of the ROW.
Along an arterial street the building will need to be built in between 10 to 25 ft. of the ROW.
This project fronts at least two streets (Ziegler and Timberwood). The building would need
to brought two the built-to-lines of these streets and vehicle use areas are prohibited from to
be between the building faces and the street.
Cole: The site layout and the Harmony Technology Park Overall Development Plan have
been revised since the Preliminary Design Review meeting. The extension of Timberwood
Drive is no longer part of the ODP, rather the extension of Precision Drive to Ziegler Road
has been approved.
An exception to the “build-to” line requirement along the Ziegler Road right-of-way is being
requested under LUC 3.5.3(C)(2)(d)(4). There are two existing irrigation conduits (one
enclosed pipe, one open concrete ditch) which run in a north-south direction along the entire
western boundary line of the parcel that prevent full compliance with the code. The building
has been set back approximately 45 feet from the right-of-way line, which is as far west as
possible without encroaching on the existing easements for the irrigation conduits.
A variance to the “build-to” line requirement along the proposed Precision Drive right-of-
way is being requested. The nature of the facility requires drive aisles at both the front
entrance (for disabled patient drop-off) and the rear side (for service area access). The
proposed building was rotated to face north during conceptual planning based on input from
City staff. This layout allows for driveway access to the main building entrance and
compliance (with an exception) with the “build-to” line along Ziegler Road. The
operational need for vehicular access to the rear service area does not allow for strict
compliance with the “build-to” line criteria. In lieu, a variance is being requested to allow a
setback of approximately 90 feet. In order to compensate for the expanded setback, the
drive aisle has been terminated at the rear service area in order to minimize the impact.
Furthermore, additional landscaping has been included along the south property line to
further soften and screen the rear building elevation.
7. LUC 3.5.3(D) This section has standards in regards the building Massing. As the elevations
of the building are design they will need to comply with this standard.
Structurepoint: The building has been designed to comply with the building massing
standards as requested.
8. LUC 3.5.3(E) This site specific design requires a project to be a individual design and not a
prototype. A design that contributes to the uniqueness of the community of Fort Collins.
The building design should comply with Facade Treatment, Entrances, Awnings, and
base/top standards of this section.
CIVIL ENGINEERING / SURVEYING / PLANNING / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Structurepoint: The building has been designed as a unique entity and to comply with the
standards as requested.
9. LUC 3.2.1 A landscape plan is required. This plan will need to include Street trees
detached sidewalks, tree stocking in landscaped areas, foundational plantings, landscaping
for interior parking lots (islands with trees), perimeter landscaping for parking areas (trees
and setbacks 5ft. for lot lines, 15ft. from arterial and 10ft. non arterial).
Context: A landscape plan with the required information included has been provided as
requested.
10. LUC 3.2.2 (C)(1) Circulation, Access, and Parking shall be be designed for pedestrians,
bicyclists, and vehicles. For safety considerations such designs shall separate these modes
of transportation.
LUC 3.2.2(C)(5) Direct paths shall be designed for pedestrian. Such paths shall not aligned
solely based on the parking lot configuration. Also drive aisles that lead to the main
entrances shall have walkways on both sides of the drive aisle.
Cole: The circulation, access and parking for this site has been designed in compliance with
the criteria noted. In addition, pedestrian paths have been provided per the City’s
regulations cited above as requested.
11. LUC 3.2.2(C)(4) Bicycle spaces are required 1 space for every 5,000 sq. ft. and at least 20%
of the required spaces need to be enclosed.
At 69,685 sq. ft. 14 bicycle spaces need to be provided and at least 3 of those would need to
be enclosed.
Cole: 15 bicycle spaces (12 open, 3 enclosed) have been provided as requested.
12. LUC 3.2.2(K)(2)(a) The long-term care facility is limited to a maximum of .33 off-street
parking space per bed and an additional 1 space for every 2 employees on the major shift.
At a 100 beds the maximum number of off-street parking space is 33 with an additional 1
space for every 2 employees on the major shift.
LUC 3.2.2(L)(2)(a) Off-street parking spaces start at 19ft.x9ft. and two-way drive aisles are
need to be at least 24ft. in width.
LUC 3.2.2(K)(5) For every 25 off-street parking spaces at least one them needs to be an
accessibility space and 1 of the accessibility spaces is required to be van accessible (8ft.
wide adjoined to a 8ft. wide loading area). All accessibility spaces shall be as close as
possible to the entrances of the building.
Cole: A variance to the maximum parking requirement is being requested. This facility is
being classified as a long-term care facility. The maximum parking allowance for that
classification would be 63 spaces (based on 100 beds and 60 employees on the maximum
shift). However, this facility is more correctly described as a transitional rehabilitation
facility and functions more like a hospital with regards to parking requirements. Along with
patients and staff, many visitors are expected and welcome as the clients complete their
CIVIL ENGINEERING / SURVEYING / PLANNING / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
recovery. The City’s hospital classification would allow for a maximum of 100 parking
spaces (based on 100 beds). Therefore, a variance to permit a maximum parking allowance
of 100 spaces is requested.
13. LUC 3.2.4 A lighting plan is required should include a photometric siteplan and catalog
cut-sheets of the fixtures. The plan should demonstrate how the average minimum foot-
candles are being met.
Heapy: A lighting plan has been provided as requested.
14. LUC 3.2.5 A trash and recycling enclosure is required. Such enclosure shall be designed
with walk-in access without having to open the main service gate and located on a concrete
pad at least 20ft. from a public sidewalk. This enclosure shall be of the similar materials of
the main-building.
The proposed enclosure does not appear to be of similar materials or have a walk-in access.
Structurepoint: The trash enclosure has been revised to match the main building and provide
walk-in access as requested.
15. LUC 3.5.1(I) Mechanical/Utility equipment (vents, flues, meters, boxes, transformer,
conduit, ac/rtu...) locations shall be identified on plans and screened. Are those individual
room units below the windows? Why do they project out?
Structurepoint: The mechanical/utility equipment has been identified on the Site Plan and
screened as requested. There are no individual room units below the windows, they are
architectural accents.

4. Please contact the City's Traffic Engineer, Martina Wilkinson (221-6887) to schedule a
scoping meeting and determine if a traffic study is needed for this project. In addition,
please contact Transportation Planning for their requirements as well.
Cole: The City’s Traffic Engineer was contacted and a scoping meeting held as requested.
The completed Traffic Impact Study is included as part of this submittal.
5. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer
County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at:
http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/UrbanSt.htm.
Cole: Comment noted.
6. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary
for this project and/or in accordance with adopted plans. The present overall development
plan of record for the area (Sixth Amendment to Harmony Technology Park) specifies that
Timberwood Drive is to be constructed between the development and the existing Intel
parcel. The project is responsible for the dedication of right-of-way and utility easement for
the implementation of Timberwood Drive abutting the development. Additionally, the
project is required to dedicate right-of-way on Ziegler Road in accordance with arterial
standards (providing a total 57.5 foot half right-of-way) and a 15 foot utility easement
behind the right-of-way.
Cole: The overall development plan has been revised since the Preliminary Design Review
meeting. The current ODP specifies that Precision Drive is to be extended from Technology
Parkway west to Ziegler Road. The proposed Precision Drive, along with the right-of-way
and utility easement for the implementation of the work, has been shown on the plans as
requested.
7. Construction plans will be required.
Cole: Comment noted.
8. A Development Agreement will be required and recorded once the project is finalized with
recordation costs provided by the applicant.
Cole: Comment noted.
9. Access spacing onto Ziegler Road shall be in accordance with the ODP of record and also
with LCUASS spacing requirements. The access to Ziegler Road should be occurring from a
driveway onto Timberwood Drive and a shared driveway/roadway with the property directly
south.
Cole: Access spacing onto Ziegler Road has been provided in accordance with both the ODP
of record and LCUASS as requested.
10. The construction of Timberwood Drive abutting the property in accordance with LCUASS
requirements is required with the development and would need to terminate into a temporary
turnaround with a diameter of at least 100 feet in accordance with Land Use Code
requirements.
Cole: While Timberwood Drive is no longer being constructed per the ODP of record,
Precision Drive is proposed to be constructed in accordance with LCUASS requirements as
CIVIL ENGINEERING / SURVEYING / PLANNING / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
requested. As Precision Drive is being completely extended from Technology Parkway to
Ziegler Road, no turnaround will be necessary.
11. Driveway curb return radii are required to meet LCUASS design requirements. The plans
show a 30 foot radius and the maximum radius allowed is 20 feet.
Cole: The driveway curb return radii have been revised to the maximum of 20 feet as
requested.
12. Cross connectivity to abutting properties should be explored and is encouraged.
Cole: Cross connectivity to the abutting property to the north has been added to the plans as
requested.
13. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any
work on the site.
Cole: Comment noted.
14. The project is required to install sidewalk along the frontage of Ziegler in accordance with
the arterial standard cross section (a 6 foot wide sidewalk, detached 10 feet from the face of
curb along Ziegler Road).
Cole: A sidewalk in compliance with the arterial standard cross section has been added to
the Site Plan as requested.
15. LCUASS parking setbacks (Figure 19-6) apply and will need to be followed depending on
parking design.
Cole: The LCUASS parking setbacks have been met as required.

1. The property is located in close proximity to the Landmark designated Preston Farm
complex across the street. For this reason the plans will be reviewed for compliance with
section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code, "Historic and Cultural Resources."
Cole: Comment noted.
2. The plans are proposed, showing a two story structure with the more narrow "wing"
elevations closest to the Preston Farm and the longer mass set further away, should not have
CIVIL ENGINEERING / SURVEYING / PLANNING / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
a significant impact on the Farm's historic character, and appear to comply with LUC
Section 3.4.7.

Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com
1. No comment listed.
Cole: No comment listed.
2. A drainage report, erosion control report, and construction plans are required and they must
be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must
address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures
(SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities need to be prepared by the drainage engineer and
there is a final site inspection required when the project is complete and the maintenance is
handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization. The erosion control report
requirements are in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Section 1.3.3, Volume 3, Chapter 7
of the Fort Collins Amendments. If you need clarification concerning this section, please
contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com.
Cole: Comment noted.
3. The site must conform to the over drainage plan for Harmony Technology Park 2nd. The
site cannot drain into the private irrigation lateral referred to in the project narrative as the
existing concrete ditch. Discharge of site drainage into irrigation ditches is prohibited.
Cole: The project has been revised to drain to a proposed detention basin at the east end of
the property and then be conveyed through a proposed storm sewer system to be constructed
within the proposed Precision Drive right-of-way.
4. Fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality
treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3 - Best
Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-
developers/development-forms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended
detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of
the BMPs is encouraged.
Cole: Comment noted.
5. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are now required when the impervious area is
increased or a site is required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code. These
require a higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new impervious area and
25% of new paved areas must be pervious. Please contact Basil Hamdan at 224-6035 or
bhamdan@fcgov.com for more information. There is also more information on the EPA
web site at:
http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/green/bbfs.cfm?goback=.gde_4605732_member_219392996.
LID design information can be found on the City's web site at:

http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-
guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria.
Cole: Comment noted.
6. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $7,817/acre ($0.1795 sq.-ft.) for new
impervious area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.-ft.) review fee.
No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each
building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-
development-fees or contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an
erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The
amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site
disturbance area, cost of the measures, or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort
Collins Stormwater Manual.
Cole: Comment noted.
7. In the McClellands drainage basin onsite detention is required with a 0.2 cfs/ac release rate
for the 10 year storm and a 0.5 cfs/ac release rate for the 100 year storm.
Cole: Comment noted.
8. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the McClellands Creek
Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual.
Cole: Comment noted.
Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com
1. The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq-ft, therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials
need to be submitted for FDP. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater
Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current
Erosion Control Materials Submitted dose not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion
Control Plan, Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation. The site
disturbs more than 1 acre so state stormwater permits will need to be pulled. If you need
clarification concerning this section, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse
Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com.

1. A TIS will be needed. Please contact me at 970-221-6887 or mwilkinson@fcgov.com to
scope the study. The study will need to analyze traffic impact, access to the roadway
network (including access spacing), and pedestrian, bike and transit connectivity.
Cole: A traffic impact study has been included with this submittal as requested.
2. This development will need to adhere to the Harmony Tech Park Master Street layout,
including connectivity for the Timberwood connection.
Cole: The development has been designed to adhere to the latest approved Harmony
Technology Park ODP, which eliminates the Timberwood connection and add the extension
of Precision Drive from Technology Parkway to Ziegler Road.
3. Adjacent street improvements to Ziegler will be needed - including curb, gutter, and
sidewalks.
Cole: Curb and gutter are already in place adjacent to Ziegler Road. A new sidewalk is
shown along the Ziegler Road frontage as requested.
4. Pedestrian connectivity will need to be reviewed - both to/from Ziegler and other adjacent
streets, and internal to the site.
Cole: Comment noted.
5. Are the numer of parking spaces based on a formula and correct for this size and use?
Cole: A variance to the maximum parking requirement is being requested. This facility is
being classified as a long-term care facility. The maximum parking allowance for that
classification would be 63 spaces (based on 100 beds and 60 employees on the maximum
shift). However, this facility is more correctly described as a transitional rehabilitation
facility and functions more like a hospital with regards to parking requirements. Along with
patients and staff, many visitors are expected and welcome as the clients complete their
recovery. The City’s hospital classification would allow for a maximum of 100 parking
spaces (based on 100 beds). Therefore, a variance to permit a maximum parking allowance
of 100 spaces is requested.

1. Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this area include a 12-inch water main and a 30-
inch sewer in Ziegler. In addition, there is a 12-inch water main on the Intel site in the drive
to the east of Ziegler which ends near Intel's south property line.
Cole: Comment noted.
2. The City's sanitary sewer in Ziegler is relatively shallow and would likely not allow a
gravity connection. It has been planned that sewer service for this area would be provided
by the South Fort Collins Sanitation District (970-226-3104).
