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,

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.
Sincerely,
Sherry Albe bon -Clark, AICP
