CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETIr*G DATE: October 3, 1988
ITEM: 1629 Blue Spruce Drive, I-L Site Plan Review
APPLICANT: James Brannan, John Dengler and Associates, 748 Whalers Way,
Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO. 80525.
LAND USE DATA: Request to remodel an existing 26,015- square feet office
building and add a 8,461 office building for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service .
Site would include new parking and an outside storage yard. Total net leasable
floor area would be 38,828 square feet.
COMMENTS:
1. There would be no significant development charges from Light and Power if
there is no need to upgrade the existing electrical service. The available
transformer is located next to the building to the north.
2. The bulbs in the parking lot poles have been removed because the bill had not
been paid. If you would like to re -install the bulbs, please contact the Light
and Power Department.
3. Water and sewer mains are available in the street and there is good pressure
in the area. The new building, however, is less clear. Stubs may be available
to the property line, but, if not, then taps must be made all the way back to
the mains.
4. Since the existing building is not equipped with a fire sprinkler system, the
new building must meet all the fire separation requirements.
5. The area has been master planned for drainage. Please submit runoff coeffi-
cients for the change in the impervious surface area and indicate that the
new data conforms to the existing criteria approved for the overall drainage
area that feeds the affected detention pond. If the new released exceed the
available street capacity, then onsite detention may be required.
6. The interior of the parking lot must be planted with 6% landscaping in islands
protected by concrete curbs. The south property line must also be landscaped.
7. Please provide separate motorcycle parking, bicycle rack, and handicapped
parking with ramps.
8. Barbed wire will not be allowed on the warcyard. Please indicate the type of
fence material to be used for the warcyard. Staff recommends wood.
9. Please prepare a brief analysis of the traffic impact of 125 employees on the
existing curb cuts. Also, analyze the impact on the Willox-Blue Spruce
intersection. This is not intended to be a major Traffic Study.
10. Any incomplete public improvements
must be constructed.
Be
sure all side-
walks have ramps. Any street cuts
for utility connections
must be patched
according to City standards. The
street oversizing fee
for
the existing
building will probably be prorated.
The street oversizing
fee
for the new
addition, however, will probably be
assessed the full amount.
In calculating
the fee, be sure include the area
to the center line of
the
adjacent local
street.
