CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
Meeting Date: November 22, 2010
Item: Legacy Auto - 1845 N College Ave
Applicant: Don Shields
Fort Collins, CO
dons@wgarchitects.com
Land Use Data:
This is a request to replat 1845 N College and the property to the north into a single lot. The part of
existing building and addition will be used for the sales offices for tractors, ATVs, trailers (27 feet
maximum length), small boats, conversion vans, cars, and light trucks. Also, part of this building will
be used for retail sales and part will be used for minor vehicle repair. The second building pad would
be a 5,000 s.f single-story building located on the western part of the site. The proposed use for this
building will be office/warehouse.
Comments:
ZONING
Contact: Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355, pbarnes@fcgov.com
1. The property is zoned CS. The former "boat sales" permitted use is no longer allowed pursuant to a
code change. The sale of trailers up to 27' in length is questionable (research will have to be done
regarding previous agreements). All of the other uses are allowed subject to a Type 1 review process.
The vehicle sales of cars and light trucks is allowed and is currently approved for the south half of the
lot, along with the existing "urban tractor" sales. Shifting it to the north would be ok as long as the lineal
frontage along College devoted to this use does not increase over the existing lineal frontage on the
south half.
WGA Response:
We agree that the Developer would not display for sale RV’s, boats (excluding jet ski’s similar small
craft), and larger trailers. The Developer would limit the display areas for Urban Tractors, ATV’s,
personal water/snow crafts, and trailers of 25’ length or less to 36 display models on the entire tract
(both the current PUD site and the undeveloped site). 36 display spaces allows for six (6) Urban
Tractors, six (6) ATV’s, six (6) personal water crafts, six (6) trailers six (6) cars, and six (6) light trucks.
We would also shift the existing southern 200 linear foot of frontage used for auto and light truck sales
to the north portion of the development as shown on the site plans submitted.
2. The warehouse/mini-storage building must be at least 200 feet from N. College Avenue.
WGA Response:
The office/warehouse building is located at least 200 feet from N. College Avenue. See site plans.
3. ATV and water sport inventory, etc. will need to be in a screened area. The site plan shows
a screened product storage, and I assume that's where these items would be.
WGA Response:
Urban Tractors, ATVs, personal water craft and trailer inventory, etc. will be in the screened area shown
on the site plan. Phase I shows 66 screened storage spaces, Phase II and III shows 46 storage spaces, and
Phase IV shows 57 storage spaces.
P.O. Box 270788. Fort Collins, CO 80527-0788 Ph: 970-493-2025 Fax: 970-493-2026 Email: dons@wgarchitects.com

4. The parking and vehicular use areas must be hard surfaced. Recycled asphalt or gravel isn't an
acceptable surface, except in the screened product storage.
WGA Response:
Parking and vehicular use areas are shown paved with asphalt paving. Vehicle display areas are shown
paved with decorative paving. Vehicle storage areas are shown with recycled asphalt or gravel surfaces.
5. It looks like most, if not all, of the car and light truck sales area is shown to be in the landscape area.
The landscape area is for landscaping, and vehicles can't be parked there.
WGA Response:
Vehicle display areas are shown paved with decorative paving. A 15 foot wide landscape area is
maintained along the North College Avenue frontage.
WATER-WASTEWATER ENGINEERING
Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com
1. The water and sewer mains in the vicinity of this site include a 4-inch water main in College which
extends from Willox to a point in front of the Lamplighter Motel, an 8-inch water main which was
extended across College from the former Grape Street, a 6-inch water main in Willox Court and a 6-
inch sewer at the southwest corner of the site.
WGA Response:
Shown on civil engineering plans. Civil Engineer: Patricia Kroetch – (970) 686-6939
2. This project will be responsible for extending the water main at the northeast corner of the site with the
objective of connecting to one of the existing mains in noted above. A meeting with the developer's civil
engineer, Poudre Fire Authority and Water Utilities staff is needed to review options for routing this
main to provide service to all buildings in this development and provide adequate fire protection.
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans. Civil Engineer: Patricia Kroetch – (970) 686-6939
3. The water service to the existing building on the site is a ¾-inch service connecting to the 4-inch water
main in front of the Lamplighter Motel on the west side of college.
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans. Civil Engineer: Patricia Kroetch – (970) 686-6939
4. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit.
WGA Response:
Acknowleged.

STORMWATER ENGINEERING
Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com
1. Drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area; therefore, it is important to
document the existing impervious area. To determine these requirements, an exhibit showing the
existing and proposed impervious areas is needed.
WGA Response:
Existing and proposed paved areas are shown on the cover sheet.
2. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and must be
prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
WGA Response:
See Drainage and Erosion Control Report by Civil Engineer: Patricia Kroetch – (970) 686-6939
3. Since the site is being platted, the existing storm sewer lines need to have easements shown on the
new plat in addition to any new easements needed for detention for the additions and the parking lot.
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans. Civil Engineer: Patricia Kroetch – (970) 686-6939
4. In the Dry Creek basin, the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre. The drainage outfall for the site
may require obtaining easements from this property to Willox Court since that appears to be the
present outfall for the drainage. With detention, some of the site could possibly drain to the existing
storm lines from the North College Mobile Home Park if the pipe under College Avenue is replaced.
The existing pipe under College presently flows from the east to the west. A new pipe would be needed
to reverse the flow. This would require an analysis of the outfall system through the new North College
Market Place to see if there is capacity for this site to flow that direction. The North College Market
Place design included capacity for an eight inch pipe from the mobile home park.
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans and Drainage and Erosion Control Report by Civil Engineer.
5. The detention pond is now shown at the low end of the site. The design engineer may have sized the
pond but no outlet pipe is shown. The drainage outfall though the buildings to the west is the curb and
gutter of Willox Ct. The design engineer will need to verify that the outfall depth is sufficient to drain the
detention and water quality pond.
WGA Response:
The detention pond has been moved to the south east corner of the site. See civil engineering plans.
6. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices (BMPs).
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans.

7. The Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company owns and operates the Eaton Ditch (Larimer-Weld Canal)
along the north property line. The ditch company will need to approve the plans if there is any grading
near the ditch. The contact is Bill Johnston, Superintendent; 222-0090 (Cell), 454-3377.
WGA Response:
There will not be any grading near the Eaton Ditch (Larimer-Weld Canal) See civil engineering plans.
8. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek Master
Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.
WGA Response:
See civil engineering plans.
9. Stormwater development fees are $6,313/acre ($0.1449/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq. ft.
In addition, there is a $1,045/acre 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/builders-fees.php or by contacting Jean Pakech at 221-
6375.

ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com
1. The Access Control Plan for North College specifies that two access points would serve the site in
the long term, a commercial local road between the property and the Lamplighter as well as an
additional access point to the north along the property. The proposed site plan proposes two access
points, however a private drive instead of a commercial local road is shown. As was previously
indicated on the 3/15/2010 conceptual review the City is potentially willing to change the commercial
local road designation specified in the Access Control Plan to a private drive. The applicant and the
City should have further discussion on specifics should this proposal proceed. Further internal City
discussion would be needed and amending the Access Control Plan (and receiving buy-in from
CDOT) would be needed.
2. WGA Response:
The current PDP submittal shows the dedication of a 36 foot wide half-right-of-way for a future local
commercial street along the south property line. The proposed name for this street is “Farkas Place.”
This street will be constructed when the building on the property to the south is demolished as part of a
redevelopment of that property.
3. The following two comments would likely not be applicable if the result of an agreement to move
forward with amending the Access Control Plan to remove the commercial local street and instead
provide a private drive takes place:
4. 36' half right-of-way for the future commercial local street would need to be dedicated at this time.
WGA Response:
The current PDP submittal shows the dedication of a 36 foot wide half-right-of-way for a future local
commercial street along the south property line. The proposed name for this street is “Farkas Place.”
See site plans and re-plat drawings.
5. The project is obligated for the half street design and construction of the commercial local street
along the southern boundary. Whether it would be beneficial to have this half constructed at this time
or financially obligated in a development agreement would likely be at the applicant's preference.
