Dear Mr. Wedum,
City Staff has reviewed your submittal for New Creations Interiors,
the Thunderbird Estates 6th Filing PUD- Amended Final, and offers
the following written comments:
1. Please submit a letterto discuss the use and purpose of the
addition to show whether traffic will increase by more than
20% due to the addition. Include activity from customers,
delivery vehicles, employees... (both now and future).
2. A State Highway Access Permit is required if the addition
exceeds the 20% increase. The State has asked for a letter
addressing the traffic activity which we will send when we
receive your letter.
3.. The State also would like to see a sketch showing how the
property gains access from the public street system and
through adjacent properties. Some sort of overall sketch
showing the College Ave, Harvard and Thunderbird Drive which
also shows the driveways and shared access pattern would
suffice.
4. Please include a vicinity map on the site plan. This should
show the area within a mile of the site. The previously
mentioned immediate area sketch would also be helpful on the
site plan, or the existing site plan_ could be expanded to
include the above mentioned items.
5. The information concerning the area within 150' of the
property is sketchy. Please provide more details, including
general building outlines, driveways, parking areas,
landscaped areas. Where are the residential buildings
located? What is the distance between the residential
buildings and the proposed addition?
6. What color will the building be? Please give better details
on the type of construction and what will be painted. Will
this building have a flat roof? If so, will there be rooftop
mechanical equipment visible from College Ave or from the
east? Any roof top mechanicals should be' screened. Please
provide more details.

7. What is the height of the building? Will, this addition be
higher than the existing building and therefore visible from
College Avenue? What are the height of the doors? Will
there be a loading dock?
8. Provide screening around any trash receptacles.
9. Separation between the new building and existing buildings
must conform to the building, code for fire containment area
separation.
10. Please contact Light and Power Distribution Engineering, at
221-6700, concerning your power needs.
11. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by
these plans will be paid for by the developer.
12. How do the northern most 9 parking spaces get access?
13. The signature block should be for the Planning and Zoning
Board of. the City of Fort Collins (see the attached example).
14. Please provide additional landscaping in the parking area.
Several shade trees would be a positive addition to the sea of
asphalt that exists at this time. Additional landscaping will
be needed at this time to provide additional screening and
buffering of this addition from the residential area to the
east.
15. Add some additional plantings, juniper and peashrubs for
example, to the exposed east wall.of the existing building.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the April 27, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board hearing,
please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due April 1, (no joke!) 1992 by 12:00 noon.
PMT1s, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due April 20th.
Final mylars and other documents are due April 23rd by noon.

6750.
