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.
