PAINLESS PROCESS. BEAUTIFUL SPACES. o: 970.224.5828 | w: ripleydesigninc.com RIPLEY DESIGN, INC. | 419 Canyon Avenue, Suite 200 | Fort Collins, CO 80521 Proposed Land Use The applicants are proposing to construct a two-level building with approximately 19,065 square feet. Approximately 7,847 square feet of the building will be dedicated to a restaurant use (no dogs beyond service animals will be permitted inside the restaurant). The remainder of the building will be utilized for indoor dog kennels and an indoor dog park and office space. An outdoor patio will be situated adjacent to the restaurant on the south and west sides of the building. This patio will be allowed to be occupied by leashed dogs only. Beyond the patio is the fenced-in dog park where dogs can roam freely. Within the dog park along the western property boundary, there will be a small structure to include outdoor restaurants and bar service. A raised stage with canopy will be located at the southwest corner of the property. The stage will be used for additional seating within the dog park as well as for occasional events. Site Design The project site is situated between two private drives to the east and west. While a shared parking agreement exists across the Country Club Corners subdivision, the project is proposing to provide all necessary parking on-site. Along the western property boundary, an enhanced sidewalk has been designed to provide a street-like drive feel by widening the sidewalk to 10’ and incorporating trees in walk-adjacent planting areas. The main access into the building will come from the west side. There will also be an employee entrance on the east side of the building, and to the south is an entrance that will be used for private events. Within the dog park, surfacing will primarily consist of artificial turf. The turf areas will be irrigated to keep the park clean and reduce odors. Architectural Design The architecture embodies the enthusiasm the project team has for bringing this highly desirable product to northern Fort Collins. The building will consist of a two-story structure with areas designated for a restaurant, overnight dog kennel, and indoor dog park use. Inspiration for the building and materials has been drawn from the industrial character of surrounding structures in the neighborhood with metal siding and muted tones. The mass of the building will be broken up through articulations in the building façade, varying window patterns, and a diversity of materials. Deep canopies at building entrances will enhance the character of the building while also helping to increase visibility of the main visitor entrances. Site Drainage and Stormwater Treatment Detention will be provided to treat the required runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed flow rate the 2-year historic release rate. The remaining detention volume will be treated by underground vaults below the unleashed zones and the dog kennel play areas. Domestic Utility Service MINIMAL RISK. PAINLESS PROCESS.
