May 9, 1994 COMMENTS ITEM: Steele's Market at Harmony Market Expansion APPLICANT: Steele's Market c/o Greg Fisher, 3115 Clyde Street, Fort Collins, CO. 80524 LAND USE DATA: Request to expand the existing building out to the east by about 10,000 square feet as per the building envelope approved on a Preliminary basis. Expansion would initially be for retail tenants but, long term, would be for an expansion of the grocery. Possible tenant entries would be from both the north and the east. Number of tenants could range from one to eight. COMMENTS: 1. Electrical service enters the building on the southwest corner. Please be cautioned that Steele's cannot be a "sub- provider" of the City's electricity. Whether or not Steele's paid the normal development charges for the expansion at the time of the initial construction should be researched. If not, then these charges are due. It is recommended that an additional transformer not be placed to serve the tenants as this would be expensive. For further information, please call Doug Martine, 221-6700. 2. Water and Wastewater will have to research whether or not any modifications need to be made to the Plant Investment Fees. If there is to be a restaurant as one,of the prospective tenants, then a grease interceptor may be necessary. Or, please verify the size of the existing grease trap for the grocery to see if it•would accommodate another source. For further information, please call. Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 3. The Poudre Fire Authority will need to see the plans for the tenant finish and the extension of the existing automatic fire sprinkler system. If there are to be numerous tenant spaces, then the sprinkler system may need to be equipped with the appropriate number of zone valves. Please contact Roger Frasco, Fire Prevention Bureau, 221-6570. 4. The Building Inspection Division is concerned about the approved building plans designating the structure as having 11unlimted area" which requires 60 feet of yard area around the perimeter. This building, after the proposed expansion, may not'have this minimum yard area. Please contact Sharon COMMUNITY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 NORTH COLLEGE P.O.BOX 580 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522-0580 (303)221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Getz, 221-6760, regarding the necessary documentation to alleviate the discrepancy between the approved building plans and the Uniform Building Code. 5. The building will classified as a B-2 Occupancy for U.B.0 purposes'. 6. The site is located in the McClelland's Mail Creek Drainage Basin and is part of the Harmony Market overall drainage plan. The area of new imperviousness is subject to the Storm Drainage Fee of $3,717 per acre, calculated on a pro-rata basis. The engineering consultant must verify the size of the existing detention pond so that it can accept the increased runoff. A Drainage Report and Drainage and Grading Plan are required. Also, an Erosion Control Plan must be submitted with an estimate of what the escrow amount will be. The minimum escrow account is $1,000. Please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6589, for further details. 7. The traffic impact analysis for Steele's Market should be Updated. There may a difference in trip generation rates between the original estimate for 10,000 square feet of grocery store and a similar amount divided among several retail/service tenants. The updated traffic study does not have to be full report but should compare/contrast the original assumptions with the proposed uses. S. Please coordinate with Cityscape Urban Design regarding curb .cut locations and internal circulation issues with the vacant pad site to the east. This pad site has been brought through development review for a convenience store with gas sales, and one -bay automatic carwash. The head -in parking on the north - south access drive may need to be adjusted depending on the internal circulation for the adjacent pad sites. The contact person is Eldon Ward, 226-4074. 9. The Street Oversizing Fee is $14,005 per newly developed acre. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, for an estimate of this fee. 1.0. There are existing Utility Plans for Steele's Market.

As you are aware, the building expansion must feature similar architectural forms and colors as the existing building. 12. Please be sure that any outside storage for the proposed expansion, or the existing building is appropriately screened from view from Oak Ridge Drive.
