Dear Mr. Keulen,
vices
City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Keulen Subdivision PUD,
and offers the following written comments:
1. Please note on the plan that all landscaping, including that
in the public right-of-way, shall be maintained by the
property owner.
2. Any changes in the buildings or occupancy classification
requiring a building permit, must conform to current Fire and
Building Codes.
3. The attached Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis must be
completed and returned with your plan revisions.
4. Please submit a letter stating that no construction will occur
as part of this PUD request and therefore no changes in the
existing drainage patterns or impervious area are planned.
Indicate in the letter, and on the plans (add a note), that
any future construction/improvements will be submitted for
review and approval by the Stormwater Utility.
5. Is the entire 9,854 square feet, designated as driveway and
parking, paved? Does the 9,854 sq. ft. driveway and parking
include garage building C? Indicate on the plans what the
drive material is.
6. Please add drainage direction arrows to the plan showing
approximately how the site drains.
7. Please provide information on any floor drains in building B.
When were they constructed and where do they drain?
8. Please show information, including existing trees, fences,
houses, and other buildings within 150' east and west of the
site.
9. The plan says there are 7 parking spaces, yet I count only 3
plus a handicapped space, motorcycle parking, and 1 or 2
spaces in the garage. Please provide more information on the
amount of traffic that will be generated by this use. How

many customers come and go on an average day. How much
parking will be needed for customers, employees, and
residents? How many boats will be on the property at one
time. Where will these boats be parked?
There is concern in the neighborhood that there are times when
5 or 6 boats block the driveway. There is a concern that the
Poudre Fire Authority would not be able to get emergency
vehicles into the site. The drive aisle needs to remain
unblocked. Please provide more information on this situation
and put notes on the plan.
10. More information is needed on the hours and days of operation;
number of employees; and storage of parts, motors, fuel tanks,
chemicals, boats, equipment, salvage material, refuse, etc.
More information is needed on the operations that will be
conducted in building B, such as, testing and revving engines;
use of air guns, noisy equipment, chemical solvents, paints,
or other toxics; and the extent of any welding activity. Will
any work occur outside of Building B? Please add notes to the
plan addressing these issues.
There have been complaints from the neighborhood concerning
loud noises, fumes, and thick blue exhaust smoke coming from
the site. These are not acceptable events in a residential
neighborhood.
11. The Commission on Disability asks that a paved walk area be
provided from the handicapped space to the accessible door.
12. The boat motor repair aspect of the proposal puts the land use
into the Auto Related Uses category of the Land Development
Guidance System (LDGS). Planning Staff has reviewed this
project against the criteria of the Auto Related Uses Point
Chart (see attachment). In order to meet the 50% requirement,
energy conservation will have to be addressed, or a variance
to absolute criteria #4 of the Auto Related Point Chart would
have to be requested from the Planning and Zoning Board. You
would have to provide a written request and document the
circumstances and hardships that might justify a variance. No
outdoor operations or storage of parts would be allowed.
There should be a limit on the number of boats parked outside.
13. The five foot wide. detached sidewalk on Prospect Road would
have to be completed with this PUD. This walk should be
located 9 and 1/2 feet from the back of curb, ie. the back of
walk is on the right-of-way line. Prospect Road is designated
as an arterial street with 100' of right-of-way.
14. Neighborhood input is an important element in the review of
Planned Unit Developments. The Planning Staff will schedule
a meeting with the neighbors to discuss this proposal. We
will let you know when and where the meeting will be held.
The neighborhood to the east has specific concerns about
noise, odors, traffic, outdoor storage of boats and spare
parts/motors, air pollution, and hours of operation. We have
received several letters expressing these concerns.
15. The Planning Staff has concerns about the proposed land use at
this location and would like to schedule a site visit prior
to the neighborhood meeting.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the October 26, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing, please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due September 30, 1992 by 12:00 noon.
PMT's, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due October 12th.
Final mylars and other documents are due Oct. 15th by noon.
If you have any questions about these comments or would like to
schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221-
6750.
Sincerely,
