Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 - (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL MEETING DATE: March 28, 1994 COMMENTS ITEM: Harmony Market 6th Filing - Gas and C-Store APPLICANT: Mark Tingey, Tyco Oil Company c/o Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request for gas station and convenience store within Harmony Market P.U.D., on the west side of Lemay Avenue, just north of the Grease Monkey in the Harmony 5th Filing. Site is 1.5 acres. C-store would be approximately 1,152 square feet. Site features a one -bay, automatic carwash. COMMENTS: 1. The City Light and Power Department is presently installing an electrical vault in conjunction with the Grease Monkey located at the southeast corner of the subject site. This vault can act as the source of power for the proposed development. Normal development charges will apply. 2. The location of the transformer should be coordinated with Light and Power. This location should be internal to the site and shopping center, not along Lemay Avenue. Screening can be by landscaping or an enclosure that meets the clearance specification of L & P. The transformer must be within eight to ten feet of hard surface on one side for emergency change - out without damaging landscape material. For further information, please call Doug Martine, 221-6700. 3. There are existing water and sewer mains located between Steele's Market and the subject site in the parking lot drive aisle. These mains are available to serve the site. Normal tap fees will apply. For further information, please contact Mark Taylor, 221-6681. 4. The installation and inspection of the underground gas storage tanks are permitted separately by the Poudre Fire Authority. A hazardous material impact analysis must be completed. Please contact Ron Gonzales, Poudre Fire Authority, 221-6570, for further information. 5. The site is located in the McClelland -Mail Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Fees in this basin are $3,717 per developed acre. At the time of submittal, the Utility Plans must include a Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan. The drainage design must conform with the overall drainage plan for the Harmony Market P.U.D. 6. The drainage design should include an area that would capture gas .spills before entering the drainage and stormwater detention system. Please discuss these design ideas with Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility, 221-6589. 7. At the time of building permit issuance the Engineering Department will charge a Street Oversizing Fee. The fee for this type of land use would be $14,005 per acre. For an estimate of what this would be, please contact Matt .Baker, 221-6605. 8. Utility Plans will be required at the time of P.U.D. submittal. The consulting engineer should contact Mike Herzig or Kerrie Ashbeck, 221-6150, for details on the contents and form of these Utility Plans. 9. At the time of Final P.U.D.,. the City will generate a Development Agreement which obligates the developer to perform the public improvements and work in the public right-of-way as designed.on the Utility Plans. 10. Staff is concerned about the right-in/right-out on the east - west leg of the main, drive aisle. There could be a temptation to turn left against the flow and try to drive back into the center. Perhaps this could be an "exit" only. 11. A.brief, updated traffic memo should be prepared describing how this land use fits in with the overall traffic analysis for the entire shopping center. At one time, this pad site was proposed for an office building. How does converting an office use to a gas and convenience use impact the traffic projections for the center? 12. The site plan should indicate the areas of employee parking, and parking for non -gasoline customers. 13. The site plan should indicate whether or not there is an air station, public telephone, bicycle racks, etc. 14. Illumination on the site must be addressed on the P.U.D. site plan. Staff is encouraging the under -canopy lighting to be flush with the deck and not protruding down in a three dimensional fashion. 15. Also, Staff is encouraging pole -mounted and building -mounted signage to be down directional with sharp cut-offs to minimize light spillage. Lighting should be high pressure sodium, not mercury vapor_- or metal halide. required at the time of Final. Specification sheets will be 16. Staff applauds the intent to integrate, the canopy with an office on the second floor. This has the potential to mitigate an design challenge long associated with gas and convenience stores. 17. A neighborhood meeting will be required due to the proximity of the residential areas in Oak Ridge Village. Please note that Marcus White, developer of the Grease Monkey, is petitioning for a minor plat. Perhaps a mailing list for the P.U.D. and the minor plat could be combined. Staff prefers to draw the boundaries of the notification area due to the recent passage of the Neighborhood Compatibility Guidelines.
