APPLICANT: Ralph and Beth Fuller c/o Carr Bieker, The Architects' Studio, 117 East Mountain Avenue, Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO. 80524. LAND USE DATA: Request to convert the approved Amoco P.U.D. at the southwest corner of College and Kensington to a Jiffy Lube with gas pumps, one-bay automatic carwash, and cashier's booth. COMMENTS: 1. The site is located within the McClelland-Mail Creek drainage basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre, subject to the amount of impervious surface and the runoff coefficient. The existing Drainage Report should be upgraded to reflect the proposed conditions. 2 . At the time of approval, the Stormwater Utility considered joint participation in a stormwater runoff water quality project. Please check with Mr. Bob Smith of the Stormwater Utility to verify whether this project is still viable. It may be that downstream work would preclude this water quality project from being necessary. 3 . Three-phase electrical power is available at the northeast corner of the lot. The location of the transformer should be coordinated with Light and Power. Transformers must be screened by either solid material or landscaping, and must be within eight feet of a hard surface area for servicing. A standard "C-1" Form is required to be completed by the electrical contractor to determine the panel size and entrance capacity. Normal commercial development charges will apply. 4 . Both water and sewer stubs are installed and available. The carwash will require a sand and oil trap on the sanitary sewer line. 5. The internal cross access to the middle lot may be eliminated as long as the middle lot retains an access out to Kensington. Keep in mind that the College/Kensington intersection will be 1 signalized in the future, depending on the rate of development on the east side of College Avenue. This signal has been approved in the South College Access Control. Plan. 6. Please identify on the plans the location of the Kensington curb cut. for Pedersen Toyota. Your curb cut should align as closely as possible with Pedersen's on the north side of Kensington. If a close alignment is not possible, then your curb cut should move as far east as possible so the two curb cuts do not suffer from "interlocking left turns" on Kensington. 7 . Parking will not be allowed on Kensington. Please be sure to allow enough parking on your site for the proposed number of employees on the largest shift. 8. The sidewalk on College Avenue should be seven feet wide and detached. The City's Street Oversizing Fee will pay for four feet of this seven foot width. The sidewalk should be located at the back of the right-of-way. (College Avenue at this location has 60 feet of half width of right-of-way. ) 9. The sidewalk on Kensington should be four feet wide. It can be attached to the curb. If you desire to detach the sidewalk for design considerations, this is acceptable but the walk should then be placed in a pedestrian access easement if pushed past the back of the right-of-way. 10. There may be a repay agreement obligating you to pay for half of the construction of Kensington. Please check with Matt Baker, Engineering Department, 221-6605, to verify any repay agreements regarding this parcel. 11. The Street Oversizing Fee for the proposed use is $14, 005 per acre. 12 . A standard Utility Plan (amended) and Development Agreement (amended) will be required. 13 . It is suggested that the under-canopy lighting be fully recessed to avoid light spillage offsite. 14. The applicant has been made aware of the need to match the color of the McDonald' s. The P.U.D. references "gray tones" to be used on all lots with The Gateway at. Harmony Road. 15. The Planning Department recently denied a request by Total Petroleum to change the recommended sign configuration (height and width) from that which was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board at the time of initial approval. While some flexibility is available, the Planning Department will carefully evaluate any signage changes that significantly deviate from the original P.U.D.
