KING SOOPERS #146, MIDTOWN GARDENS MARKETPLACE - FDP210001 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 3 - RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS
6162 S. Willow Drive, Suite 320 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 303.770.8884 • GallowayUS.com May 12, 2021 City of Fort Collins 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: King Soopers #146 – Midtown Gardens Marketplace – FDP210001 Round Number 1 – 2nd Review Applicant Responses Please find below our comment responses addressing the second FDP submittal. This letter is to address comments we received from you on April 16, 2021. To facilitate your review, we have included the original conditions in italicized font and have provided our responses in bold blue. Planning Services – Kai Kleer Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/09/2021: There are several elements in the comment below that are still not acknowledged by the detail view or the site plan. Additionally, the landscaping that is generally mentioned for the parkway in the detail view is not included on the landscape plan. Please note that landscaping in the site distance triangle is permitted, however, it cannot exceed 24 inches in height within 15 feet of the curb cut. I will add a picture of a few gas stations around town of what we expect to see demonstrated on the plan and screened through the use of walls and landscaping. If these elements are not proposed for this location please add a note on all site plan sheets indicating something to the effect of, "Outdoor display, storage or sale of the following materials shall not be permitted within the general area surrounding the fuel station: Wood, Propane, Vending machines..." 02/23/2021 FOR APPROVAL: The addition of the single wing wall only screens one of the many items that are stored and sold outside. It may be worthwhile to create a zoom-in site plan view of this area that should demonstrate where the following elements exist and how they will be screened: Wood Propane Vending machines Windshield washer fluid Outside storage locker for snow shovels or other accessory items. Cases of water Please also update use of CMU on gas station to reflect the changes made to BL2. It’s recommended that the cultured stone be used as a base treatment rather than CMU to provide better contrast between the materials. To better screen the fuel station please provide landscaping within parkway adjacent to college. Response: Landscaping is now included in the parkway and a note has been added to the plans limiting outdoor display/storage/sales. An updated exhibit is included with this submittal. Engineering Development Review – Spencer Smith Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/13/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL – UNRESOLVED Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 2 of 10 02/23/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - UNRESOLVED Offsite access easements are required for the proposed plan to be approved by Engineering. These easements must provide a route that will allow the 20% of vehicles that are leaving the site to the north, to get to the Columbia/S. College Ave. intersection. If the easements will not or cannot be provided, the TIS will need to be updated to route the 20% of vehicles elsewhere and the other site accesses will need to be reevaluated. This could lead to site changes, additional public infrastructure, etc. if the other site accesses do not function with the additional traffic. Just to be clear, Engineering will not approve any final plans/plat/DA, etc. or issue any permits until this item is resolved. 10/27/2020: FOR HEARING I have not seen letters of intent from the adjacent property owner to the north. This is a typical requirement to proceed to hearing. 08/20/2020: FOR HEARING Per Section 3.3.1© of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, this project is responsible for dedicating any easements and/or Rights of Way (ROW) that are necessary or required by the City for this project. Based upon the street sections identified in the Midtown Plan, it looks like there would be a minimum ROW dedication associated with this project of approximately 10 feet along the property frontage for both College Ave. and Drake Rd. There may be more ROW required, depending on roadway improvements such as the bus pullout, turn lanes, etc. The standard 15-foot utility easement will need to be dedicated along the frontage of both College Ave. and Drake Rd. as well. Other potential easements to be dedicated could include emergency access (to be determined by PFA), various utility easements (per Stormwater, Utilities, Light and Power), access easement for promenade area, etc. Also, if a shared access easement on the north side of the property will be required by the City, a letter of intent from the adjacent property owner(s) will be required prior to being scheduled for a PDP hearing. Response: The off-site easements continue to be negotiated by the applicable parties; per various correspondence with them and city staff, these should be resolved soon. We understand they need to be secured prior to project approvals; our intent is to have the FDP technically approved while these Agreements and Easements are circulated for Approvals. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/13/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL UNRESOLVED City staff is hoping to have all language to me by the end of this week so that I can start on the DA draft. I will not be able to finalize the draft until I receive the completed DA information form from the applicant. 02/25/2021: The draft DA has not been prepared yet. I will continue to coordinate with City staff to finalize a draft and will update you when it is ready for your review. I don't believe the DA information form has been submitted yet either (see previous comment below). I will need this before I can finalize the draft. 02/23/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL A Development Agreement (DA) will be required for this project. The DA is an agreement between the property owner and the City of Fort Collins that defines the various standards, infrastructure requirements, maintenance responsibilities, etc. of the owner. A draft of the DA will be prepared by the City during the review and approval process. Prior to preparing this agreement, the applicant will need to provide a completed “Information for Development Agreements” form. This can be submitted with the initial project submittal. A copy of the document can be found at the Engineering web page link below: https://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php Response: Please see the enclosed form; apologize for the delay in getting you this. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/13/2021: FOR DCP Thank you for submitting the cost estimate. I will forward to our Chief Engineering Inspector for review along with the utility plans. Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 3 of 10 02/25/2021: FOR DCP (UDATE) The design should close enough to being finalized after this round of revisions that you can prepare an engineer's cost estimate and submit it with your next submittal. This will be reviewed by our Chief Engineering Inspector. Once approved, this will serve as the basis for the public infrastructure inspection fees and surety that will be required for permitting. A template spreadsheet is available on the Engineering Development Review website: https://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php as well as a DCP application and other information. Response: Comment Noted. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 04/13/2021 04/13/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL It appears that there was some confusion regarding the median design for the College Ave. access. The request by our Street Maintenance department for the monolithic median construction was not in lieu of extending the median north. I believe our Traffic Operations staff requested that the median for the northbound left turn movement be extended north. The width of the medians on both sides of the protected lane would likely need to be narrowed to achieve this. If we need to have another meeting with Engineering, Traffic Operations and the consultant team to clarify, let Todd Sullivan know and he can get something scheduled. Response: Our team has coordinated directly with Spencer on the proposed configuration of the median and College Ave improvements. This feedback has been incorporated into the plans as shown with this resubmittal package. Traffic Operation – Nicole Hahn Topic: Offsite Work Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/24/2021 04/13/2021: Please revise the design for the channelized T, to channelize traffic with medians instead of delineators. Response: The applicant has reached out to engineering and has incorporated the requested changes to the channelized T intersection. 02/24/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Work with engineering on the design of the channelized T intersection. 12/15/2020: FOR HEARING Please address the design of the channelized T. We remain concerned about the safety of the left turning movement onto College Ave. We understand that this movement will be challenging and a cross access easement with the property to the North will be required prior to hearing. 10/27/2020: UPDATED: The geometric design of the channelized T does not channelize traffic. This is an important function in the channelized T as it allows for the flow of traffic to be unimpeded by the merging of traffic from this access point. We still have concerns about the safety of turning vehicles against three lanes of through traffic and a turn lane. We would be happy to meet off line to discuss more. 08/18/2020: The proposed access from the King Soopers onto College is recommended to be limited to a ¾ movement. The EB left turn out as a “high T” is not supported by City staff and likely not supported by CDOT. We believe allowing un-signalized left turns across four lanes of traffic on high speed arterials is problematic, especially given the backups from the downstream signal which greatly limit the visibility. This raises significant safety concerns. CDOT may have comments about this as well. Topic: Traffic Impact Study Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/24/2021 02/24/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: A cross access easement to allow for the distribution of traffic assumed in the TIS is required prior to final approval. Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 4 of 10 Response: The off-site easements continue to be negotiated by the applicable parties; per various correspondence with them and city staff, these should be resolved soon. We understand they need to be secured prior to project approvals; our intent is to have the FDP technically approved while these Agreements and Easements are circulated for Approvals. 08/18/2020: The TIS has been received and reviewed. Thank for the comprehensive work on the TIS. Please provide approach and movement LOS information. This will help identify whether any variance requests are needed to the LOS requirements in LCUASS chapter 4. Transportation Planning – Seth Lorson Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/13/2021: A shared parking easement to ensure the MAX parking spaces along the guideway (west side of the site) are able to be used by transit patrons, as negotiated and discussed throughout the planning process, is needed. 02/23/2021: Please expand the shared parking easement to include the new spaces along the west side of the site as discussed during the PDP process. Response: We have submitted this directly to Seth for review; the same draft is included with this resubmittal package. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/13/2021 04/13/2021: Please add notes to the site plan to the effect that the parking spaces along the west side of the site are shared for MAX users and King Soopers patrons. Response: Note has been added to site plan. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/13/2021 04/13/2021: Please include "MAX Parking" signs for the spaces along the west side of the site to the signing and striping plan. Response: We’d like to coordinate this further as it is as “Shared” parking area and not exclusive to the MAX per se. Stormwater Engineering Erosion & Sediment Control – Basil Hamdan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/19/2021 04/07/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: [UPDATED] Please address all the redlined comments provided on the Erosion and Sediment Control Plans. 02/19/2021: INFORMATION ONLY: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 1 lot, 12.12 acres of disturbance, 1 year from demo through build out of construction and an additional 2 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $ 1,335.93 Based on 1 underground treatment the estimated Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee is $415.00. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review. The fee will need to be paid at the time of the posting of the erosion control escrow. FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please address all the redlined comments provided on the Erosion and Sediment Control Plans. Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 5 of 10 Response: Redlines have been addressed and blueline responses have been provided. Stormwater Engineering – Matt Simpson Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: 02/23/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Please provide temporary construction easements any offsite abandonment on adjacent properties. Response: The off-site easements continue to be negotiated by the applicable parties; per various correspondence with them and city staff, these should be resolved soon. We understand they need to be secured prior to project approvals; our intent is to have the FDP technically approved while these Agreements and Easements are circulated for Approvals. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Please note this on the utility plans that the southeast building is to remain open during construction. 02/23/2021: FOR INFORMATION ONLY: Is the building at the at the SE corner of the site going to remain open for business during construction? Response: Note has been added to utility plan near this existing building stating “EXISTING BUILDING SHALL REMAIN OPEN DURING CONSTRUCTION. CONTRACTOR TO COORDINATE WITH RETAIL OWNER AS NEEDED TO MINIMIZE IMPACT TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS THROUGH PROJECT DURATION.” Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: See updated redlines of Drainage Report, Utility Plans, and Landscape plans. Response: Redlines have been addressed and blueline responses have been provided. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Check if the roof drains from the north portion of the building should be tied into the detention portion of the stormtech system. Response: The roof drains off of the northeast corner only drain the vestibule areas at the northeast corner. The main building roof all drains to the rear of the building and into the detention portion of the system. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Basins B 1, B 2, and C 3 (east parking lot) each have a lot of area (~1 acre each) draining to 1 storm inlet each inlet. Will the nuisance flows and wintertime snow melt be managed to your satisfaction in this high use parking lot? Response: for Basins B-1 and B-2, the lip in the curb flow line at the chase drains will be sufficient to capture the nuisance flows. For Basin C-3 & B-3, we have adjusted the curb such that there is a 1" grade difference between the curb return and the inlet to create a small sump to capture nuisance flows based on the nuisance flow depth and allow higher flows to pass over and down into the street as intended. Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Confirm if the proposed underdrain system is sufficient to serve the full stormtech system. Response: We have discussed with ADS and agree that the underdrain is sufficient Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Please add the existing 16-inch watermain crossing to the storm sewer profile. Response: existing water main has been included in the profile Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 6 of 10 Water-Wastewater Engineering – Matt Simpson Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL UPDATED: Thank you for the on going dialogue on this item. Once this is resolved on your end, please send updated Landscape and Utility Plans to Matt Simpson and Kai Kleer for courtesy review and feedback prior to submittal. 02/23/2021: FOR APPROVAL – REPEAT COMMENT FROM PDP: The proposed water main on the northside of the building needs a different alignment that does not include the additional horizontal bends. These plans also show show a proposed water main lowering along this section. We do not want the watermain in this location or the lowering if it can be avoided. The redlines I have provided show 2 options for alternate alignments. The preferred location for this main is north of the property line. How are negotiations going with the adjacent property owner for a utility easement? Please contact me to discuss. Response: We sent his a couple of days prior to our resubmittal have not received feedback yet; understanding this may be short notice, we’re proceeding with the design we provided for formal evaluation during the review process. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/23/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Thank you for the water meter calculation. Please provide a cover letter summarizing the calculation, results, and meter selection. 02/23/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Please submit a water meter/ service sizing calculation for the proposed main water service. Response: Cover letter provided to accompany water meter/sizing calculations. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/25/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL UPDATED A contiguous utility easement must be provided between Lot 3 and the sewer main (located in the drive aisle west of the lot). All platted lots must have legal provisions for utility servicing in the future. Please see redlines of UT Plan and Plat for more information. There are no exceptions to this requirement. See section 3.3.1 C1 of the LUC for serviceable lot requirements. Please contact me to discuss if you have questions. 02/25/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Utility easements need to be provided for the sewer services from Lot 2 (southeast corner of site) and Lot 3 (old gas station). A 20-ft easement centered on the service should suffice. Response: Utility easement between Lot 3 and sewer main has been provided for future use. Plans and Plat have been updated to show this easement. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: We will provide feedback on final valve locations the City wants with the next Submittal. Response: Noted. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: There are 4 locations to check shrub and watermain separations. See Landscape Plan redlines. Response: Revised as requested. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 04/16/2021 04/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: The proposed 8 inch sewer main invert should match the crown of the 18 inch sewer main in Drake Road. Please revise profile. Feel free to contact me to discuss if this becomes a problem. Response: Proposed sewer main design has been updated per the comment, raising the invert to match the crown of the existing 18 inch main where we connect to the existing system. Profiles have been updated to reflect this. Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc.

Response: Utility plans have been updated to match what is shown on the landscape plan. Comment Number: 43 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please add the following note on the landscape and utility plans regarding tree protection during stormtech installation: Please contact the City Forestry Division prior to excavation related to grading or stormtech installation to ensure tree protection and root protection measures are in place. Please provide at least 3 business days for notification. Response: This note has been added to the landscape and utility plans. Midtown Gardens Marketplace FDP210001 3/24/2021 Galloway & Company, Inc. Page 8 of 10 Comment Number: 44 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please provide the depth of the garden wall near existing trees #21 and #23. Minimal root disturbance shall occur. Response: Wall depth will have to meet frost depth (3’). Exploratory hydroexcavation can be scheduled at meeting between contractor and Forestry Dept prior to construction. Comment Number: 45 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please add the following note to the landscape plan regarding hand digging of plant material within the critical root zones of existing trees: All plant material, boulders, and flagstone shall be spaced at least 5 feet from the tree trunks. All planting shall be done via hand digging, particularly within the trees’ dripzones/critical root zones. Response: This note has been added to the landscape plans. Comment Number: 46 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please update the project specific tree protection note #3b to state the following: TRENCHING WITHIN THE PROTECTED ZONE OF EXISTING TREES SHALL BE PERFORMED BY HAND, AND WITH EXTREME CARE NOT TO SEVER ROOTS 2” IN DIAMETER AND LARGER. WHERE ROOTS 2” IN DIAMETER AND LARGER ARE ENCOUNTERED, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE FORESTRY DIVISION OR CONSULTED ARBORIST (PRIVATE TREES ONLY) FOR DIRECTION. TUNNELING UNDER ROOTS LARGER THAN 2” MAY BE PERMITTED. EXPOSED ROOTS THAT HAVE BEEN TUNNELED UNDER SHALL BE WRAPPED IN WET BURLAP AND KEPT MOIST WHILE THE TRENCH IS OPEN. ROOTS SHALL BE COVERED WITH SOIL IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRENCHING IS COMPLETE. Response: This note has been revised as requested. Comment Number: 47 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please preserve and protect tree #58. This tree doesn’t appear to be impacted any more than the tree to the west of it, and a tree is proposed to be replaced in the same area. Discuss with Forestry if you have concerns. Please note that a few symbols overlap in this area. Response: As discussed with Molly Roche on 4/15/21, the trash enclosure had to be enlarged in this area due to City standards and is now significantly within the critical root zone of this tree. We feel it is best to be removed and replaced. Comment Number: 48 Comment Originated: 04/12/2021 4/12/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL Please review Forestry redlines on the landscape and utility plans and provide comments with any revisions. Response: Redlines have been addressed and blueline responses have been provided.
