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
f� 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
1�;; handicapped accessible. When your interior plans are finished,
the Commission on Disabilities would like to review them.
^M� 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?

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
x whether you feel this is sufficient parking. Please include
V�� in your letter a statement that indicates what you plan to do
yc�r if at some future time the Institute needs more parking. This
1 A 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
Gp7�� to the west. Please include a copy of the easement
l documentation as well. Include a description or plan of the
\t proposed future parking, including striping.
9. Will the Institute be providing shuttle service to the
ay 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
a 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
E6 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
h� 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
f� 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 ill = 10001.
is. If the owner of the property where the parking easement is
T' 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
�A signatures.
id�1"U 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
1\&0 ,\���•„ 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
0� plan, especially for the parking and drive area.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
