APPLICANT: Provident Group, Inc., c/o Linda Hopkins, The Group, Inc., 401 West Mulberry Street, Fort Collins, CO 80521 LAND USE DATA: Request for a change of use for the Collinwood P.U.D. from psychiatric hospital to an assisted living facility. Change of use would include internal remodeling and enclosure of walkways leading from the common area to buildings A and B. Capacity is anticipated at approximately 65 clients. COMMENTS: 1. There is an existing electrical transformer which adequately serves the site. If there is no need to provide additional electrical power, then the existing panel size should function for the proposed use. If there are any questions regarding electrical power, please contact Bruce Vogel, 221-6700. 2. There is an existing sewer main between the gym, Building B, and the Administration Building. Building an enclosure over this main will not be permitted. The location of the main may be modified as long as grades will continue to work. At minimum, the main should be located and marked by the Utility Locate service. 3. The applicant should be aware that there have been some problems with cross connections on the lawn sprinkler system. The Water and Wastewater Department has been working with the owner over the years to correct the problems. 4. The applicant is also cautioned that there are water and sewer service lines that are on the property that are not in easements. This is not a problem as long as the facility and grounds are under one ownership. If the applicant is contemplating further subdivision, then these individual services will have to be placed within proper utility easements. If there are any questions regarding water and sewer services, please contact Mark Taylor, 221-6681. 5. If there is any renovation or remodeling work associated with the large kitchen, then a grease trap will be required to be placed on the sanitary sewer line, outside the building. The Water and Wastewater Department has a detailed specification for a commercial grease trap. Conceptual Review Comments Collinwood Amended P.U.D. Page 2 6. Under the classification system of the Uniform Building Code, both the present use and proposed use will both be considered "institutional". If you have any questions regarding building permits and interior remodeling plan review, please contact Sharon Getz, Plans Examiner, 221-6760. 7. The Poudre Fire Authority will require that detailed plans on the interior remodeling clearly indicate which portions of the common area will be converted to private residential use. There is a concern that exit distances and corridors continue to meet the requirements of the Fire Code. 8. It may be practical to consider reconfiguration of the fire lane on the west side of the building. This lane does not necessarily have to encircle the campus. Rather, a dead-end with a proper turn -around would satisfy the access requirements. The surface must meet Fire Code, and cannot be "grass-crete" . 9. It is recommended that a site visit with the Fire Marshal be arranged so that all the details regarding compliance with the Fire Code be addressed. Please contact Warren Jones, 221-6570. 10. Please review the building permit for the facility to see if the Parkland Development Fee was paid. As an institutional use with one central kitchen and dining facility, the Parkland Development Fee would normally be $625. With remodeling and the potential to add full living quarters with cooking ranges, a Parkland Development Fee would be assessed on a per unit basis. A unit is defined as follows: "Dwelling unit shall mean one or more rooms and a single kitchen designed for or occupied as a unit by one family, for living and cooking purposes, located in a single-family or multi -family dwelling." 11. The issue for the Stormwater Utility is whether the proposed enclosures will increase the impervious surface area beyond what was anticipated by the original Drainage Plan. If building C is not built, then the enclosures will likely not increase the impervious surface beyond the detention capacity on the site. A letter from a registered engineer should be submitted verifying the amount of impervious surface created and the impact on the detention capacity. 12. The construction of the enclosures should not block any existing drainage patterns or conveyance channels. Again, the letter from the engineer should address the impact on existing drainage patterns. For further information regarding drainage and detention issues, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6589. 1 0 Conceptual Review Comments Collinwood Amended P.U.D. Page 3 13. The applicant is encouraged to verify with Matt Baker, S.I.D. Coordinator, regarding any outstanding assessments or payments due to a Special Improvement District. Mr. Baker can also check to see if there is a recorded repay agreement for one-half the cost of Rule Drive. Matt Baker's phone number is 221-6605. 14. A neighborhood meeting will be required to discuss the change of use with property owners in the surrounding area. The Planning Department will schedule the meeting and facilitate the discussion. As we have discussed, generation of the mailing list is the responsibility of the applicant.
