Mr. Eldon Ward Cityscape Urban Design 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Eldon: and Environmentalomces Staff has reviewed the request for Bank One and offers the following comments: 1. The following comments apply to the plat: a. The utility easement described by recorded document #90021962 should be generically and briefly stated on the plat. b. The two control monuments must be described. C. The outer boundary monuments must be described. d. There is not enough information on the plat to locate the two 10 feet wide drainage easements, the 10 feet wide sewer easement, and the access and utility easement. e. The plat shows an access easement outside the boundary. This dedication must be done by separate document or included within the boundary of the plat. f. The "tie" bearing does not match the "legal". 2. The plat should indicate an existing 15 feet wide utility easement along Boardwalk Drive, a copy of which is attached. 3. The Stormwater Utility is concerned about amending the overall drainage plan for Oak -Cottonwood Farm to reflect the Miramont changes during construction. This amendment has not been approved yet. It may be difficult for this P.U.D. to proceed without the amended overall drainage plan for the larger area being reviewed and approved by the City. 4. Since the buildings exceed 5,000 square feet in area, an automatic fire suppression system is required in accordance with Section 3802 of the Uniform Building Code, as amended by the City of Fort Collins. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 . Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 5. The site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance. with U.B.C. Section 3103 and U.B.C. Appendix Section 3106. Provide designated and marked accessible routes between buildings and the public way and.accessible parking and building. Provide parking and signs per Appendix Section 3107. Handicap parking spaces are required in accordance with U.B.C. Appendix 3107 and Table A-31-A. 6. A water main will be installed perpendicular to Boardwalk to serve the site approximately 40 feet south of the bank. Please be sure that the proposed English Oak and Greenspire Linden are kept 10 feet away from this line. Also, the English Oak may be too close to the proposed fire hydrant. 7. Also, please take precautions so that the proposed Greenspire Linden at the southwest corner of office/retail building is kept 10 feet away from the proposed water line. 8. On the south elevation of the bank, there may be a conflict with two Tam Junipers and the proposed location of the meter pit. Please be sure that shrubs are kept four feet away from the meter pit. 9. Although_a portion of the southerly access drive is offsite, it should be built to the full width with phase one construction of the bank. 10. The sidewalk design on HarmonyRoad looks fine. Please consult with the church about j_oint construction along both property frontages. The City's Street overszing Fund will. reimburse for one foot of the five foot total sidewalk width. 11. Additional plant material should be provided around the outer radius of the drive-thru lane. Plant material should be selected from the Harmony Corridor Plan and should be of sufficient density to screen headlights. 12. The north elevation of the bank does not provide a clear description of the exterior material. If brick, then please state and describe the color. 13. Staff is concerned about the south elevation and the "backlit lexan face signage" above the drive-thru lanes. This seems to be out of character for a bank and would detract from the overall appearance. It is strongly suggested that this signage be deleted from the south elevation. 14. Since there is no end -user for the office/retail building, and since the architectural elevation is, therefore, vague, Staff is concerned about granting final approval for Phase Two. It is suggested that Phase One be considered for Preliminary and Final but that Phase Two be considered for Preliminary only. If perimeter landscaping is to be considered in Phase One, then the phase lines should be drawn accordingly. � r � This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note the schedule for the July 25, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting: Plan revisions are due July 7, 1994. P.M.T.'s, 10 prints, renderings are due July 18, 1994.
