Swallow Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Ric: City staff has reviewed the Silverberg overall Development Plan and has the following comments to make: V1. The following are general comments that will be applicable at the time site specific development plans are submitted for review: a. Eight foot minimum utility easements along Prospect frontage and I-25 Frontage Road will be needed; b. Adequate water supply for fire protection must be provided, existing water lines may not be sufficient; c. Access through. the site must conform to the Fire Code; and d. Approval of these plans should not be construed as a committment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are available. US West will require adequate, usable utility easements and will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado PUC. / At this time, City water and sewer service is not available to the site. V . There appears to be a "no-man's land" between the I-25 interchange and the west property line of this site. Clarification of this area, as well as the east property line area is needed. 4. There is no indication .of the nature of the access point shown (right-in/out, full movement, etc.). We expect that it will be restricted at some point in the future, so provisions for accessing the frontage road will need to be made and a delineation regarding the nature of the Prospect access must be made. �7 5. Access for property to the east and south needs to be considered with the ODP. Coordination with Ghent for Frontage Road access, as well as access through this site is needed during the review of this ODP. Access needs to be designed for the long-term, 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0380 • (303) 221-6750 1 1� as well as the short-term. V6. The traffic study and the ODP square footages are not consistent (ie. 17,000 sq. ft. in study, ODP). If the larger sized motel is anticipated, should be revised. 7. The Prospect/Frontage Road the future. The Frontage Road Prospect intersection. Street .time a site specific develoment for the motel use 133,000 sq. ft. on the traffic study ' intersection will be signalized in will also need improvements at the improvements are determined at the plan is submitted. 8. An Overall Drainage Plan is required with an ODP. This plan must identify major drainage patterns, any offsite flows that must be routed thorugh the site, the major drainage outfall for the site and proposed detention facilities. Failure to submit the Overall Drainage Plan makes this project "incomplete" and may result in a delay in the project's scheduling for the Planning and Zoning Board. Specific questions regarding the Overall Drainage Plan may be directed to Susan Hayes of the S_tormwater Utiliyt. The site is not in an identified drainage basin; therefore, there are currently no development fees. Monthly 0 & M fees will be assessed as buildings are constructed. V10. The City's study of Boxelder Creek shows a spill from the creek as it passes under I-25, north of Prospect road. A significant amount, 1900 cfs, spills, but it is unknown if or how these flows may affect this site. Further study may indicate a need for improvements or restricted development. An access permit will be required by the Colorado Division of Highways for access to the State Highway system. The permit is issued by the City of Fort Collins. It is has been previously determined that the development will probably require the construction of speed change lanes as a condition of the permit. vl'2 The ODP indicates that run-off will be detained on -site. The devloper should be aware that the highway drainage system is not intended to accommodate drainage from adjacent properties beyond what has historically been accepted. U.r3. If any utility lines are proposed within the state highway ight-of-way, a Utility Permit may be needed prior to commencement of work. 14. The following details need to be clarified/corrected on the ODP: a. The City owned property to the west of I-25 is the "Waste Water Recovery Farm", rather than ".slug farm"; b. A signature line is needed under the owner's certification; C. "Legal review" should be labelled as "Attorney's Certification";and d. The "Planning" signature block should be labelled as "Planning and Zoning Board" with the signature line labelled "Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Board". 15. Although Point Charts were submitted, the review of an ODP is based on the Land Use Policies Plan, rather than the point charts of the LDGS. The .proposed ODP appears to support the applicable Land Use Policies. Revised plans and documents addressing the above comments must be submitted to the Planning Department on the following schedule, for the April 27, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board: Wednesday, April 1* five (5) copies of revised ODP Monday, April 20* 8-1/2 x 11" PMT, ten (10) folded copies of the ODP and colored rendering *Please note comment #8 above, regarding the lack of an Overall Drainage Plan and the potential for delays in this project without this information. These deadlines are not applicable for information that has not yet been reviewed. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
