Baca Diamond Shamrock, Colorado Division 520 East 56th Avenue Denver, CO 80216 OWNER: William Bartran Bartran Homes Inc. 1644 Alcott Street Fort Collins, CO 80525 PROJECT PLANNER: Ted Shepard PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for final P.U.D. approval for a Diamond Shamrock gasoline and food sales facility. The land use includes a 1,567 square foot food store, a 784 square foot one bay automatic carwash, and 4 pump islands with a canopy. The site is 1.46 acres, and is located at 1515 West Elizabeth Street between Taco Bell and Chesterfield, Bottomsley, and Pott's restaurant. The zoning is B-P, Planned Business. RECOMMENDATION: Approval EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The proposed P.U.D. was evaluated against the Auto Related and Roadside Commercial point chart and exceeds the required minimum score. A neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the project's impacts and a copy of the meeting's minutes are attached. The proposal is found compatible with the original Fairview P.U.D. and the Campus West shopping area. The canopy is oriented so the short side parallels Elizabeth Street. The landscaping on Elizabeth Street is 25 feet wide and features berms, trees, and shrub beds. The landscaping on the south is 40 feet wide and also serves as a storm water detention area. The trip generation associated with the proposal is relatively small causing little impact on the Elizabeth/City Park intersection. The two conditions of preliminary approval relating to deleting the northerly parking drive aisle and substituting for recessed canopy lighting have been satisfactorily addressed. The Final P.U.D. is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary. DEVELOPMENT 3C0 LaPorte Ave. • P O 8ox 580 • Fort Collins.

Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: b-p; Vacant, (Parcel D of the C.S.U. Bull Farm, Preliminary P.U.D.) S: R-P; Vacant, (Phase IV of the Matador Apartments) E: B-P; Chesterfield, Bottomsley, and Pott's Restaurant and Bar W: B-P; Taco Bell Restaurant and Drive-thru The site is legally described as a Replat of Lot 2, Fairview Shopping Center, Filing Two. The original Fairview Shopping Center was approved in 1977 and revised in 1979. Subsequent phases of the Fairview P.U.D. include Wendy's (approved in May of 1979), Taco Bell (approved in August of 1982), Nautilus (approved February of 1984), and Duds and Suds (approved in June of 1984). The site received final P.U.D. approval for a Carl's Jr. Restaurant and Carwash in March of 1986. Two administrative extensions of the P.U.D. have allowed the Carl's Jr. to remain valid until March 24, 1989. The Diamond Shamrock Preliminary P.U.D. was approved on March 27, 1989 with conditions. 2. Land Use: The project was evaluated against the criteria of the Auto Related and Roadside Commercial point chart. The proposed use achieved a score of 63% which exceeds the required minimum score of 50%. Points were awarded for being located at other than at the intersection of two arterial streets, for being contiguous to and functionally a part of an existing neighborhood shopping center (Campus West), and for having the primary access from a non -arterial street. Points were also awarded. for having direct, vehicular and pedestrian access between on -site parking areas and adjacent, existing off -site parking areas which contain more than ten spaces (Pott's). Finally, the project benefits from having at least 1/6th of its property boundary contiguous to existing urban development. Points were not awarded for mixed use since the one bay automatic carwash is considered an accessory to the principal use of gasoline retail sales. 3. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood meeting was held on February 6, 1989 at Westminster Presbyterian Church on West Elizabeth Street. Most of the neighborhood compatibility issues were resolved during preliminary review. At the March 27, 1989 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, a concern was raised about the response to a fuel spill during the unloading procedure. The Poudre Fire Authority has looked into this procedure and a memo from the Fire Marshal is attached. Diamond Shamrock Feral — #14-89 P & Z Meeting — May 22, 1989 Page 3 According to the Fire Marshal, the Fire Code requires that the transport truck be completely on -site when off loading and that the filling pipes and valves be liquid tight. The Fire Code also requires that all E.P.A. requirements be met which includes the installation of overspill protection devices. These most commonly are containment basins around the fill tube which drain into the tank. The most common spill situation occurs when the underground tank is completely full and cannot accept the contents of the fill tube, about 25 gallons. If this spill is reported promptly, the Poudre Fire Authority can contain this amount to the site and not endanger the waterways. 4. Design: A. Food Store The food store will measure 1,567 square feet and be setback from the West Elizabeth Street property line a distance of 78 feet. The primary exterior materials are brick, glass, and aluminum window framing. The store features a 3 foot fascia panel that would be backlit. The color would be red. On the west elevation, the fascia panel would display a "Corner Store" sign as well as the logo. B. Carwash The carwash would measure 784 square feet and also be made of brick. The overall height would be 13'6". The 3 foot metal fascia would be red and the north elevation would display a "Carwash" sign totalling 15.75 square feet and one logo. C. Canopy The canopy is a rectangle measuring 103 x 49 feet. It is oriented so the short side parallels Elizabeth Street. It is described on the architectural elevations to be 17'6" in height. The fascia is 3 feet wide, painted red, and features logos on the north and west elevations. There would be a white stripe, 9" in width, located at the bottom of the fascia that would run along the entire perimeter. There would be no other signage on the canopy. The canopy columns would be steel painted in a dark color. D. Landscaping The 200 feet of frontage along Elizabeth Street would be treated with sod, 2 foot high berm, 7 trees, and shrub beds. The landscaped area to the south is 40 wide and designed to act as the storm water detention area as well as a buffer for the carwash. Three evergreen trees along the carwash wall and 7 additional trees on the southerly property line are designed to accomplish this buffering. Landscaping is also provided along the private access road. The 3 parking spaces on the east property line are buffered by 3 evergreen trees. P & Z Meeting — May 22, 1989 Page 4 E. Signage There would be one free standing monument sign at the corner of Elizabeth Street and the private access drive. This sign would be mounted on a 2 foot pedestal made of brick to match the building. The sign copy would measure 5 feet in height and 7.21 feet in width for a total of 36.05 feet. The sign would be double faced and illuminated. This size is compatible with the relative "standard" that was approved for the Conoco at C.A.T. (36.75 sq. ft.) and Amoco at Raintree (35.75 sq. ft.). There would be 5 logos. Two on the canopy (west and north), two on the food store (north and south), and one on the carwash (north). There would be one wall sign on the food store ("Corner Store"), and one wall sign on the carwash ("Carwash"). There would be no additional signage on the canopy. Signs and logos would white, and all fascias (canopy, food store, and carwash) would be red. 5. Transportation: The proposed P.U.D. requires no new curb cuts on West Elizabeth Street. Rather, the primary access would be gained from a curb cut on the private access drive that aligns with the existing cut serving Taco Bell approximately 50 feet south of Elizabeth Street. A second curb cut on the private access drive would be placed approximately 70 feet to the south of the primary access. In addition, the Fire Marshal has requested that the internal parking lot drive aisle, on the south side of the site, serving Pott's restaurant be continued through the Diamond Shamrock site. The Traffic Impact Analysis indicates that the proposed P.U.D. would generate a relatively small amount of traffic, about 1,250 daily vehicle trips. Consequently, the level of service at the West Elizabeth Street/City Park Avenue intersection would remain stable during the peak hours in the short range future. The Traffic Impact Analysis recommends that a separate northbound left turn be provided on the private access drive to gain access to westbound Elizabeth Street. This will allow less delay for those going eastbound. 6. Conditions of Annroval: The deletion of the northerly parking lot drive aisle into the parking lot for Chesterfield, Bottomsley, and Pott's has been accomplished on the final plan. The area is now treated with additional landscaping. The canopy lighting is now mounted so that the fixture is fully recessed with only a down directional lens frame exposed for illumination.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 RE: Traffic Impact Analysis Proposed Diamond Shamrock Service Station West Elizabeth Street FHU Reference No. 89-011 Dear Mr. Sheppard: Felsburg Holt & Ullevig prepared and submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis on the above referenced project in March 1989. Since that analysis was prepared, the access plan for the site has changed to reflect a request of City staff to remove the proposed access on the northeast corner of the property di- recting traffic through the parking area of the CBP restau- rant. Prepared at your request, the purpose of this letter is to document the changes that this modification causes in the traffic analysis. The closure of this access does not imply any changes in either proposed land use or proposed size of the facility. Therefore, the only changes in the traffic analysis involve the reassignment of some of the traffic volumes; with this revised plan all traffic to and from the site will use the access road bordering the site on it's western edge. The attached Figures 5, 8 and 9 illustrate the revised assignments for project generated traffic and for total traffic in the two future design years. Also attached are revised Figures 10 and 11 from the previously submitted report and revised worksheets for the level of service analyses at the access road/West Elizabeth Street intersection. Because the volumes of traffic associated with this access change are relatively low, the results of the level of service analyses are not substantially different from those previously reported. The motorists making left turns out of the access road during the PM peak hour would, however, experience a lower level of service. Specializing in Transportation and Civil Engineering 5299 DTC Boulevard • Suite 400 Englewood, Colorado 80111 (303) 721-1440 April 17, 1989 Mr. Ted Sheppard Page Two I hope that this information provides a sufficient update of the analysis. If you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEVIG Robert W. Felsburg,rP.E. Principal Attachments RWF/co 0 0 V. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed Diamond Shamrock development consisting of a service station/convenience store and a car wash was analyzed in this report to determine any traffic impacts associated with the site. The proposed development at full buildout (1990) would generate a relatively small amount of traffic, about 1,250 daily vehicle trips, 80 AM peak hour trips, 120 noon peak hour trips, and 150 PM peak hour trips. Proposed site access would not require any additional accesses onto West Elizabeth Street but would utilize the existing private access road and the CBP access to access Elizabeth Street. Site trip distribution and assignment have been based on the location of the site accesses, the volume of background traffic on West Elizabeth Street and location relative to the rest of the City. Background traffic on West Elizabeth Street could be significant given existing and future development along this facility and its importance as an east -west roadway. Site vol- umes have been superimposed on background traffic to forecast 1990 and year 2010 traffic volumes. Utilizing total volumes, existing and future geometrics, inter- section capacity analyses have been completed. The analyses indicate that in both analysis years left turn movements from the access road and the CBP access onto Elizabeth Street would expe- rience significant delays. Therefore, it is recommended that a separate left turn lane be provided at each of these locations on Elizabeth Street. This will confine delays to only those vehi- cles desiring to turn left. The accesses on the private access road will operate acceptably. Intersection operations at the Elizabeth Street/City Park Avenue intersection are expected to be LOS B or better during the 1990 peak hours. During the year 2010 with the additional site generated traffic, level of service at this intersection is projected to be LOS B or better for the AM and noon peak hours, but drops to LOS D during the PM peak hour. Further analysis indicates that LOS C/D can b-e expected for the PM peak hour assuming the site is not built; therefore, the development itself does not create a significant impact at the West Elizabeth Street/City Park Avenue intersection. In short, the proposed Diamond Shamrock development is anticipat- ed to have a minimal affect on traffic operations in the vicinity of the site and that most of the improvements described in this report are attributed to growth in background traffic demand. d 26 - - - - Richmond Series Luminaire — A completely waterproof one-piece welded aluminum housing.

FROM: Warren JONES CFC52/01 TO: Joe FRANK / CFC52/01 CC: Robert PONCELOW / CFC52/01 Part ?. Dated: 01/07/R9 aOO91. Contents: 2. On the service station spillage issue I have talked to our people who deal with this and researched our code. On new service stations the fire code requires that the transport truck he com- pletely on -site when offloading and that the filling mechanism (piping valves, etc.) be liquid tight. We also require that all EPA requirements are met which includes the installation of overspill protection devices. These most commonly are containment basins around the fill tube which drain into the tank. The most common spill situation we encounter which could get off -site is where a tank is completely filled so that the fill tube cannot be emptied. If the operator does not take the proper precautions the contents of the fill tube, about 25 gallons, could he spilled. If this is reported promptly it has been our experience that we can contain this amount to the site and not endanger waterways. Th•e biggest nnn-fire problem we have in these incidents is keeping the spill out of the storm sewer. Our procedure for dealing with these spills is to first contain it and then to absorb it with special pads. We also use a finer absorbant material if necessary and any residue which cannot he picked up evaporates. We do not wash any spill with water. Another common problem is when a consumer drops a hose and the nozzle doesn' shut off. The nozzles are supposed to turn off on impact and emergency shut- offs are also required to quickly turn off the pump. While this situation is quite common I am not aware of any where it caused an off -site problem. For new unattended service stations there are even more requirements intended to limit spill size. Spill situations larger than these involve damage to the tank truck or the fill tube during filling or failure of a valve. This could cause a much larger spill up to several thousand gallons. Tn this case we would have to mobilize m-re resources to protect waterways and sewers, as well as dealing with the fire protection problems. While this type of incident is rare it is not unheard of. I think one occurred recently in Denver. At this time I cannot think of a viable preventive measure which wouldn't cause worse problems. If you need more information, give me a call. Intray >
