RE: Taco Bell @ Market Place P.U.D.
Revisions to the Preliminary/Final P.U.D. Plans
Dear Ted,
Thank you for your letter dated March 1,
comments for the above referenced project.
following prints which accompany this letter:
Site Plan (4 copies)
Landscape Plan (4 copies)
Utility Plan (4 copies)
Building Elevations (4 copies)
1994 which enumerated the staff review
These comments are now reflected on the
The following items are concerns which Taco Bell has with a few of the staff review
comments. These concerns correspond with the numbered comments contained in
your letter of March 1, 1994. If a particular numbered item is not addressed below,
there were no concerns with that item and the requested revision has been made on
the enclosed plans:
1. Matt Delich has contacted Rick Ensdorf and a meeting is being scheduled in the
near future to address staff concerns with the traffic operations.
3. Although Taco Bell would agree to the replacement of damaged curb and gutter
at the "pork chop", they feel that the responsibility of redesign and possible
replacement to enlarge turning radii are clearly the responsibility of the owners
of the Market Place and Best Buy properties, and not the responsibility of a
single pad user.
5. Taco Bell does not feel that the visual impact of the 12"x12" telephone pedestal
along South College Avenue is detractive enough to warrant the cost of
relocation of this equipment.
8G. All landscaping revisions requested in items 7 and 8 have been reflected on the
revised Landscape Plan with the exception of item 8G. I feel that with the
revisions made, this site offers an abundance of landscape material. Part of the
beauty of these plantings IS to have some space between and around them and
not a solid wall of material at maturity. The adjacent Burger King site is also
50 EAST 29TH STREET PALMER GARDENS, SUITE 200 LOVELAND, COLORADO 80538 303/669-9060
FACSIMILE 303/669-9066
surrounded on three sides by a drive-thru, yet the south and east sides of this
site have considerably less landscape material than we have proposed.
9. Taco Bell Corporation's sign vendor does not offer a full 6'x6' backlit sign similar
to the existing Burger King sign. Therefore, we tried to achieve a 6'x6'
monument sign using standard Taco Bell signage that is available.
10. The east wall sign as well as the optional rear arch element have been removed
from the revised building elevations.
11. Taco Bell would consider (an) etched glass sign(s) facing South College
Avenue, similar to the Burger King, as long as this suggestion does not imply
removal of the bell logo and "Taco Bell" signage shown on the west -facing arch
of the building.
I hope this letter and submitted revisions are responsive to your needs at this time.
Should you have any questions regarding this material, please call.
Sincerely,
tow AWXL�
