Land Colorado, Inc. c/o Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Three pad sites for Golden Corral Restaurant, (8,000 square feet standard restaurant just east of the right- in/right-out), Outback Steakhouse (5,000 square feet standard restaurant just west of the right-in/right-out), and Lees Cyclery/Outpost/Sunsport (14,000 square feet retail just west of First Bank). Pad sites are located in Harmony Market Shopping Center, along Harmony Road. COMMENTS: 1. The City's Light and Power Department has existing conduit at Boardwalk to serve Red Robin which can be extended east to serve the remaining pads. Please coordinate transformer locations. Charges for streetlighting along Harmony will not apply as they have already been paid by previous development. As you are aware, transformers must be screened from public view yet be within ten fee of hard surface, from one side, for emergency change out, if necessary. Please contact Doug Martine, 221-6700, for further information. 2. Both water and sewer mains are available to serve the pad sites. The water main is in the access drive and Sewer would have to be extended from the right-in/right-out access drive. A grease trap would have to be required for the restaurants. Please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681, for further information. 3. Since the restaurants will. be over 5,000 square feet, they must be equipped with an approved, commercial, automatic fire extinguishing system. Fire sprinkler lines must be shown on the Utility Plans. 4. The restaurants must make separate applications to the County Health Department. . COMMUNITY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 NORTH COLLEGE P.O.BOX 580 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522-0580 (303)221fi750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT 5. Handicap parking must be provided in accordance with both the Zoning Code and the U.B.C. as amended by the City of Fort Collins. For further information on handicap parking or accessibility issues, please contact Sharon Getz, Plans Examiner, 221-6760. 6.. Please contact Dan Coldiron, 221-6760, for estimates of signage allowance for each pad site. Please note that the pad sites do not have frontage on Harmony Road. 7. The pad sites are located in the McClleland-Mail Creek drainage basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre, subject to the amount of onsite detention and the runoff coefficient. Development of the pad sites must Conform to the overall drainage plan for Harmony Market and Oak -Cottonwood Farm. This plan specifies detention pond release rates and pipe sizes. Please note that there have been many changes to the overall drainage plan since first implemented. It is suggested that one Drainage Report and Drainage and. Grading Plan be done for all the remaining pads. An Erosion Control Plan is required for each pad. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6589. 8. An updated traffic study should be provided for all the remaining pad sites. This study should amend the trip generation rates based on the identified users. The new trip generation numbers will be forwarded to C.D.O.T. for their use. This study may not have to be at the same scope as the original but must address the new users. 9. The traffic study should investigate the need for double left turns for northbound Boardwalk to westbound Harmony. This intersection seems to be congested, especially during the Saturday noon peak. Please investigate storage capacity for this double left turn so they are no conflicts with the left - in to the center off Boardwalk. 10. The traffic study for Red Robin indicated that there may be potential to .improve the internal access drive intersection just east of Boardwalk. The traffic study for the pad sites should also investigate operation in this area. Development of the pad sites may be an excellent opportunity to improve the intersection, if necessary. For further information regarding the scope of the traffic study, please call Tom Vosburg, 221-6608. 11. Utility Plans and Development Agreement will be required for each pad site. Depending on the need for public improvements, each pad site may not necessarily need a Development Agreement. 12. The Street Oversizing Fee for retail and restuara_nts is $14,005 per acre, pro -rated based on actual platted area. 13. Sidewalk connections out to the perimeter sidewalk along Harmony should be provided. 14. Each new building must provide bike racks. Racks should be permanently anchored to concrete and not interfere with pedestrians on the sidewalks.
