Box 550 • Fort Collins, CO 30522-0550 • (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF 4.OMMENTS MEETING DATE: August 12, 1991 ITEM: Evergreen Park Minor Subdivision APPLICANT: Jack Williams . c/o Reed Goodwin 328 Link Lane #4 Fort Collins, CO 80521 LAND USE DATA: This is a-proposal.for a minor subdivision of lots 10, 11, and 12 of Block 4 of Evergreen Business Park located at the -------northwest corner -of --Conifer -and. Blue --Spruce to reconfigure the existing three lots into four or five lots. The applicant is also proposing to build a 5000 sq. ft. warehouse/office on one..of the new lots. The lots are currently vacant, the streets are"in, but the sidewalks have not been constructed. COMMENTS: 1. Light and Power normal development fees will apply to the building. Power is available on Blue Spruce and Conifer. Development fees are based on street frontage and lot size. The new power would be placed underground. When you are ready to construct the building you will need to fill out a Commercial One form for the Light and Power Department. This will assist them in sizing the transformer and in figuring the. billing. Light and Power can assist you in locating the transformer. 2. The property is located in the IL, Limited Industrial zoning district. An IL -site plan review would be required for the warehouse/office structure. The Planning Department would -review the site plan for landscaping, parking, traffic, storm water, engineering, architectural, and signage concerns. 'In the IL zone, there is a minimum lot size of .201000 square feet, and the minimum lot area shall be the equivalent of two times the total floor area of the building. A 50' 1-andscaped buffer strip shall• be required along all arterial and - collector streets in the IL District. 3. The Stormwater Department will require a drainage report. grading plan, and an erosion control plan for any structures built on the lots. On -site detention is required with a-`" release rate at the historic 2 year flows. Stormwater Basin fees are $10,000/acre pro -rated for the portion of the lot area that is developed. 4. The site is an island in the floodplain, so you will not be allowed to lower the grade prior to construction. 5. Water and Sewer service exists in Conifer and Blue Spruce. Contact the Water and Wastewater Department at 221-6681 for information about plant investment fees and utility fees. 6. The Fire Authority, will review the IL -Site Plan for standard. fire access and for fire and building code compliance. Requirements for building sprinkler systems depend on the fire access provided and on the size of the open areas in the buildings. Any open area within the building that is greater than 5000 square feet will require an automatic fire sprinkler system. 7. The future Fort Collins 287 Bi-pass/Expressway is planned on some maps to go through this area. This is only a concept at this time and not actively being pursued by the State Highway. Department. Fort -Collins -City Council may begin to look at this Expressway concept more actively in the coming year. I have enclosed a copy of the various options for the proposed Expressway corridor for your information. 8. The other transportation issue is that of creating lots which have sole access from the Collector Street (Conifer). This can present a problem for access depending on the proposed uses for those lots. One solution to this would be to provide access easements across the lots to allow each lot to access both Conifer and Blue Spruce. This would go a long way in providing a workable access and circulation system for the entire 4 or 5 lot area. 9. If sidewalks are not existing, you would be required to construct them on Blue Spruce and Conifer with development of the lots. Street Oversizing Fees are $5252.00 per acre for the warehouse/office uses and are collected at the time of building permit issuance. The extent of your Utility Plans will depend on water, sewer, and storm drainage improvements. 10. The subdivision of lots can be accomplished with the Minor Subdivision Process. The development proposals for the lots will require an IL -Site Plan Review by the Planning Department and Planning and Zoning Board. I have enclosed some information on these processes for your information.
