HomeMy WebLinkAboutSPRINGWOOD INSTITUTE PUD PRELIMINARY AND FINAL - 2 92 - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSServices Planning Department City of Fort Collins January 27, 1992 John and Lolly Clarke 706 East Stuart Street Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Springwood Institute PUD, and offers, in addition to the comments and concerns discussed with you during our phone conversation of January 23rd, the following written comments: 1. A portion of the PUD has never been platted. The area not already platted with the Kessler Subdivision must be platted in conjunction with this PUD. Or the entire PUD could be replatted as one lot of "X" Subdivision. Please have a licensed surveyor/engineer prepare a subdivision plat and submit to the Planning Department for review. 2. If the Larimer Health Department rates the kitchen as a commercial kitchen, a grease interceptor may be required. If you will not be installing a fryer the Water and Wastewater Utility can review the plans to see if a waiver to this requirement could be granted. Please submit a letter from the Larimer County Health Department to this effect. Also, please submit a menu of meals that you will be serving, or submit a letter indicating typical meals that will be served. 3. Existing telephone easements are not shown on the site plan. They should be shown on the plat along with all other existing easements. 4. If you will be providing more than 15 parking spaces, at least one of those must be striped as handicapped. If you will not be specifically indicating a H/C space, please make note on the PUD plan indicating which spaces will be sufficient in size for handicapped accessibility. 5. Bathrooms, bedrooms, eating and living areas will need to be handicapped accessible. When your interior plans are finished, the Commission on Disabilities would like to review them. 6. . All sidewalks need to be at least 4' wide for accessibility. 7. Have you considered providing access to the bike trail from the house? 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 8. The traffic study diagram shows 11 parking spaces but the site plan only indicates 10.. The traffic analysis indicates that 10 spaces will be sufficient for your peak hours and capacity. Please submit a letter to the Planning Department indicating whether you feel this is sufficient parking.., Please include in your letter a statement that indicates what you plan to do if at some future time the Institute needs more parking. This statement should address that you agree to provide additional on -site parking if the need is justified. Your letter should include the details about the parking easement on the property to the west. Please include a copy of the easement documentation as well. Include a description or plan of the proposed future parking, including striping. 9. Will the Institute be providing shuttle service to the airport? How will the Institute let students know that there is an alternative to renting a car at Stapleton Airport? Will the information be provided to perspective clients/students prior to registration, at registration, or after they arrive in Fort Collins? 10. Please repair any damaged curb, gutter, and sidewalk. 11. Be careful that additional plantings on the front berm do not interfere with sight distance for vehicles leaving the driveway. 12. Please submit.a letter to the Stormwater Department (to Susan Hayes) stating that no impervious surface will be added to the. site at this time, that there will be no change to the existing drainage pattern or runoff amounts on or off this property, and that if additional impervious surface is added in the future, all requirements of the Stormwater Utility shall be met prior to construction. 13. The existing landscaping should be shown in better detail and in the actual locations. The City Stormwater Utility may be able to assist you in this, if they have conducted a survey of the site. Is the site plan, including the landscaping details, drawn to scale? Providing a key, or labelling the significant trees and shrubs would be required prior to final approval. Please submit this with your plan revisions. 14. Include a note on the PUD plan that no landscaping, except that in the drainage easement, would be removed without first applying for an administrative change of the PUD. When the City's proposed landscape plan for the drainage easement is final, an administrative change can be made to the PUD to allow those changes. 15. Add the following note to the final paragraph of your text on the PUD plan: If additional impervious surface is added to the site, all requirements of the Stormwater Utility must be complied with. 16. The Stormwater Utility staff had a question about your source for the 100 year flood plain. Your plans don't match the City's maps. You may want to verify this with Susan Hayes, or indicate on your plans that you are showing an approximate location of the.100 year flood plain. ...The accurate location will, however, have to be reflected on the plat. 17. On the PUD plan, please put a title, SPRINGWOOD INSTITUTE PUD, across the top in fairly large letters (1" high if possible). Also label the Vicinity Map, include a north arrow, and give it a scale. It looks like about 1" = 10001. 18. If the owner of the property where the parking easement is located is different from the owners of the Springwood Institute site, that owner would also have to sign. the PUD plan. You should probably include additional lines for those signatures. 19. Please include the legal description on the PUD plan. 20.. Under "employee: 2 spaces" add "clients/students/visitors: 8 spaces" and "Total parking spaces: loll. 21. Include on the plan a diagram of the future parking area, including how the access would work, any landscaping that you would have to provide to buffer the property to the west from the lot, and the general striping pattern. 22. It would be most helpful if you would enlarge the site plan portion of the PUD plan. It is a bit small to see all that is going on there and to measure parking space and aisle widths. It would also be helpful if you would put dimensions on the plan, especially for the parking and drive area. This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the February 24, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: The plat should be submitted as soon as possible, we generally require 2 to 3 weeks to route and get comments back. We should have the plat no later than February 5, 1992. Plan revisions are due February 5, 1992 by 12:00 noon. PMT's, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due Feb. 18th. Final mylars and other documents are due Feb. 20th by 12:00. 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, Kirsten.Whetstone Project Planner
