Dear Gentlemen:
Staff has reviewed the request for Final P.U.D. for the Diamond Shamrock Corner
Store and offers the following comments:
1. As one of the conditions of preliminary approval, the canopy lighting must be
fully recessed. Please provide new cut sheets on this recessed specification.
2. The landscape plan does not indicate whether detention area will be seeded
with a grass mix or sodded. Please specify.
3. Staff would like to re-emphasize the comment that the large hard surface paved
area would be well served with planters under the canopy. Other gas stations
have used planters with shade tolerant shrubs. Under straight zoning, parking
lots are required to be provided with 6% landscaping. As a P.U.D., the project
has greater design flexibility but should, nonetheless, try to meet or exceed the
minimum requirements of the Zoning Code.
4. The southwest corner of the site needs additional easement area to accommodate
the water utility.
5. The easement width along West Elizabeth should be 15 feet not 12 feet.
6. The site plan shows a logo on the east elevation of the canopy. This logo
should also be added to "rear" elevation on the Elevation sheet.
7. The elevations should be labeled west, south, north, east. Not front, right, left,
rear. This will assist our zoning inspectors.
8. Due to the number of proposed signs in various locations, it will assist our
zoning inspectors and the sign permitting process to list, in table form, all the
signs on the property. Other than the monument sign, the way I understand it,
the proposed signage would be as follows:
300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750

West Elevation: canopy logo building logo "Corner Store"
South Elevation: building logo
North Elevation: building logo
East Elevation: • canopy logo
Carwash: fascia logo "Carwash"
9. The Drainage Report needs revising to account for off -site flooding from the
southwest portion of the site.
10. The plat should show the area of the lot.
11. Please indicate the building envelopes and show the distance to the property
lines.
12. The canopy and carwash must be within building envelopes.
13. Please add a note to the site plan stating: "All signs to comply with Sign
Code".
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note the following deadlines

Plan revisions are due May 3, 1989.
PMT,s, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due May 15, 1989.
