The. plat document needs more information. - Particularly, please note the following: A. The control monuments and outerboundary monuments must be described. B., The scale must be stated ( 1" = 501), not just illustrated. C. OakRidge Drive is dedicated by Harmony Market Second Filing. The outerboundary of this plat should go to the existing south right-of-way, not to the centerline. D. The east boundary of the plat does not match the west boundary of the Evangelical Covenant Church P.U.D.,'Phase Two Plat. E. The delta angles in the curve table must be carried out to the second, also the bearing on the north side of this plat must show seconds. F. There is no way to locate the drainage easement. G. Even though this is a one -lot subdivision, the lot should be called out as Lot One with the square footage indicated. H. Under north arrow and scale, please include the date of preparation. I. Please include the zoning on and adjacent to the subdivision. Also, please indicate the names of abutting subdivisions or names of the owners of abutting unplatted property. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 0 J. Delete the certification for the City Clerk. (For information regarding the content of plat submittals, please refer to the Subdivision section of the Zoning Code beginning with Section 29-623, and Chapter Five of the Development Manual.) 2. The developer must coordinate the location of the electrical transformer with the City's Light and Power Department. A slight adjustment to the location shown on Sheet 4 of 8 of the Utility Plan may be necessary. 3. Light and Power has clearance specifications for enclosing the electrical transformer. Please obtain a copy of these guidelines so the enclosure is designed appropriately. 4. U.S. West cautions that the owner is responsible for all conduit and street crossings for telephone facilities. Owner also provides terminal room space (usually 4' x 41) and power to the main terminal, generally in a utility room or janitor's .closet. Owner's vendor provides all facilities beyond the main terminal. Please contact U.S. West Engineer for conduit specifications for the main telephone entrance cable. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities will be at developer's expense. 5. Since the building exceeds 5,000 square feet in area, an automatic fire suppression system is required. 6. The site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities,in accordance with Uniform Building Code Section 3103 and U.B.C. Appendix Section 3106. Please provide designated and marked accessible routes between buildings and the public way, and between accessible parking and the building. 7. Please note that the Building Inspection Division will require statement of hours of 'operations and number and ages of children present during operation as part of the submittal for a building permit for the fitness center. 8. Staff applauds the use of berms along Oak Ridge Drive to mitigate the parking lot.. There is a concern, however, about the placement of the sidewalk and ramps. It is preferred that the ramps be placed in the normal locations (at the main entry) since this puts the pedestrian in a safer, more visible area for the motorist. The sidewalk can be detached in any fashion, as long as the ramps provide this level of safety. Have you considered placing the walk on top of the berm? This has been done at Harmony Market with positive results. Staff is willing to explore options. 9. The driveway radius should be"20 feet at the flowline. 10. Detailed comments from the Stormwater- Utility will be provided under separate cover to the consulting engineer. The 0 1 0 developer is cautioned that an interim offsite drainage easement may be required to route flows to the large existing pond on Boardwalk, adjacent to The Courtyards at Miramont. (Albrecht Homes). All onsite and offsite drainage channels must be placed within dedicated easements. Depending on who develops first, either Miramont Tennis and Fitness Center or The Courtyards at Miramont will be responsible for finishing up the detention pond so it is in final form and acceptable to the Utility. At this time, the outfall for the pond is not. designed. 11. It would be helpful if the site plan indicated where the dedication of Rule Drive terminates. Does the right-of-way terminate at the easterly property line of Miramont Tennis and. Fitness Center? 12. Staff is concerned about coordinating with Albrecht Homes on the design of the Rule Drive/parking lot intersection. It appears that this intersection would be improved if were simply a tee intersection. This would involve extending Rule Drive slightly west to the approximate flow line of the parking lot. Drivers traveling north out of The Cottages would then have a slight offset but the intersection would be simplified. 13. Storage of dry chlorine for the pool must comply with the requirements of storage of hazardous materials of the Poudre Fire Authority. 14. Note number nine should be expanded, or provide a separate detail on the site plan.. Please provide a specification on height of pole -mounted fixtures. Also, please expand this note to add that all fixtures, both building -mounted and pole - mounted shall be down directional featuring sharp cut-off luminaires. The light source should be identified as high pressure sodium to match the City's street lighting. Please note on the plains that the tennis courts are not to be illuminated. 15. Note number eight may need to be slightly revised regarding start date. 16. The enclosure for the -gas meter and electrical transformer should be of the same material as the Fitness Center. 17,. On the landscape plan, there are two trees along Oak Ridge Drive, east of the main entry, which are labeled "PV" but there is no "PV" under the plant list. 18.. It is suggested: that the north elevation of the indoor tennis building feature a berm in order to help soften the height. Landscape materials can then be planted on the berm. 0 19. On the north elevation of the tennis building, have you considered using the type of metal panel that is covered with a fine-grain aggregate to simulate a masonry wall? This product has been used on a recently approved metal building in the Golden Meadows Industrial Park with a sensitive exposure to Harmony Road (Colotex Electric). The product is referred to as "stonewall" and manufactured by Insulated Panel Systems. For the three remaining sides, please indicate the color of the metal panel. 20. Please provide more description for the C.M.U. on the building's exterior. 21. On the chainlink fence for the outdoor. courts, is "colored" the same as "vinyl -clad?" This concludes Staff comments at this time. Additional comments may be forwarded to the consulting engineer from City Engineering and Stormwater Utility. Please note the following deadlines for the September 26, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting: . Plan revisions are due September 7, 1994. P.M.T.'s, ten prints, renderings are due September 19, 1994. As always, please call if there are any questions or concerns regarding these comments.
