Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 L CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: January 23, 1989 ITEM: Good Times Drive Through Restaurant APPLICANT: Mr. Boyd Hoback and Mr. Larry Norman, Round The Corner Restaurants, Inc., 2121 30th Street, Bouldcr, CO. 80301 LAND USE DATA: 35,000 square foot site (Lot 2 of the Mourning Subdivision), located in front of the south Steele's Grocery, at the northwest corner of Foothills Parkway and the South College Avenue frontage road. Proposal includes a 540 square foot building for drive -through restaurant and gas/convenience store. COMMENTS: The City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department has an available conduit at the corner of College and Foothills. It would be required that one properly sized, pad -mounted transformer serve both projected uses for this site. Transformer must be located to be accessible from one side by a boom truck. Normal development charges would apply. Typical easements for facilities would be required. 50% of charges are due prior to construction, with the balance due prior to the site being energized. Contact person: Doug Martine, 221-6700. 2. The sewer main continues down Foothills Parkway to the southwest corner of the site. You are eligible to tie into this main if the grades are appropriate. The water main in Foothills may also be tapped. 3. There does not appear to be a problem with fire access with two points of access. The site plan should show the location of the fire hydrant which should not be more than 400 feet from the building. For fire truck circulation, please provide 20 foot inside and 40 foot outside turning radii. 4. There is a 42 inch diameter storm sewer line along the north property line. If this line is not already in an easement, it should be placed in a dedicated easement. Onsite detention will be required. It is preferred that detention is located in a landscaped area and not the parking lot. Detained flows must be released into the 42 inch storm sewer at a rate not to exceed the two year historic flow. 5. All perimeters should be landscaped. The interior parking areas should be landscaped with islands that are not less than 80 square feet and contain both trees and shrubs. Generally, the minimum amount of landscaping in the parking lot interior is 6%. The parking area should include motorcycle, bicycle and handicap parking spaces. E 6. Menu boards are included in the sign calculation. Total sign allowance will be divided up between both users of the site. While the Sign Code is generally an accurate guide of signage allowance, the Planning and Zoning Board has the jurisdiction to lessen total signage based on design considerations under the Planned Unit Development. 7. Before a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued, the County Health Department must grant approval. 8. A Traffic Impact Analysis will be required. The right in/right out curb cut on South College has not been determined yet. The location of the curb cut on the frontage road may be too close to the intersection with Foothills Parkway. The Traffic Impact Analysis should address this distance. 9. Sidewalks will be required along both public street frontages. If not already dedicated, all sidewalks must be placed in a dedicated right-of-way. 10. Also, if not already dedicated, 8 foot easements are required along both public streets. 11. At the time of Final P.U.D., the City must have final utility drawings and a development agreement will be drafted for approval by all the parties. 12. At the time of building permit, a street oversizing fee will be assessed and collected. For commercial property, the fee is approximately $14,000 per acre. Please verify the exact amount with Matt Baker in the Engineering Department at 221-6605. 13. The drive aisle onto the Steele's lot will need to be dedicated as an access easement. 14. The P.U.D. site plan should show existing landscaping on the median separating the frontage road from College Avenue. Please consult with the City Forester, Tim Buchanan, 221-6660 as to the desired treatment of this area. 15. The entire site is expected to be well landscaped. Enclosed please find a guideline for landscaping commercial sites in Fort Collins. Please note that the corner of the frontage road and Foothills Parkway should receive special attention as this is a very visible area. 16. Staff applauds the use of similar materials as the Steele's grocery as this will promote a unified identity to the area. The same concern applies to the gas/convenience user. Exterior materials, accent colors, roof lines, etc. should all be coordinated to avoid the "strip commercial" appearance. 17. Please indicate the pedestrian amenities that will be included with either the restaurant or the gas/convenience store.
