Home My WebLink AboutPINECONE PUD THE TOWER SHOPPES SONIC DRIVE IN FINAL - 60 91O - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTS(M! r, AMI STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins ALLER-LINGLE ARCHITECTS, P.C. Date: 11/07/2005 DAVID LINGLE 712 WHALERS WAY, SUITE B-100 FORT COLLINS, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for PINECONE PUD, THE TOWER SHOPPES, SONIC DRIVE-IN PDP - TYPE II AND FINAL PLANS, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Anne Aspen Topic: Erosion Control Number: 57 Created: 11 /7/2005 [11/7/05] Tim Buchanan, the City Forester comments that there are two existing trees on Horsetooth that need to be replaced with Marshall Ash trees. Please see redlines for more detail. Topic: General Number: 30 Created: 10/17/2005 [10/17/051 The sidewalk between the cars under the canopy is still raising questions for me. In your response letter, you state that it has been changed to 9 feet wide. On the plans, they are shown as 7 feet and in your sections they are 6 feet. Please make it consistent. Also, since the employee parking is long term, and you can overhang by 2 feet, it can be reduced to 16 feet if needed. That might give you a bit of extra room if you need it. Back to the center walk for the carhops, I think that you need to make it 8 feet or more since cars will overhang on both sides. Another option would be to provide wheel stops at the drive-in spaces to prevent overhang. Number: 31 Created: 10/17/2005 [10/17/05] I've made a number of very minor redlines on your plans which I won't list in detail here. Please refer to them on the plans. Topic: Photometrics Number: 32 Created: 10/17/2005 [10/17/05] You show a fixture on your plans that is not on the photometrics. Please clarify. Number: 33 Created: 10/17/2005 [10/17/05] Lighting levels generally seem very high. The site could be adequately lit with half the luminance shown and should be given the residential nature of the surrounding areas. Number: 34 Created: 10/17/2005 [10/17/05] Measurements under the canopies seem especially high --are they plotted as if pointing down? I realize the lighting solution is an unusual one. If it is not possible to chart the canopy lights, you can show a max (say, as if pointed down) and make a note on the plans to explain. Number: 35 Created: 10/17/2005 Page 1 [10/17/05] Please add and label the fixture cutsheets (just picture/drawing only, and not the poles or brackets, etc.) to the photometric plan sheet. The lighting pole foundation detail is fine. Topic: Transportation Number: 48 Created: 11 /1 /2005 [11/1/05] Xcel Energy comments: PSCO gas main lays approximately 16' south of the north property line [ROW] of Horsetooth Rd. You will need a permit to cut Horsetooth to install proposed gas service to Sonic. Number: 49 Created: 11 /1 /2005 [11/1/05] Park Planning has no issues or concerns with this submittal. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General Number: 51 Created: 11 /4/2005 [11/4/051 The legal descriptions for the various easement dedications/vacation closed correctly in our review. Please provide actual deeds of dedication, which will be required prior to sign off on the mylars. The emergency access easement being provided appears to cross into several lots, including Lot 3 (McDonald's). It appears that several different owners (including McDonald's) would need to convey the full easement. Number: 52 Created: 11 /4/2005 [11/4/05] The school district will need to sign off on the construction plans prior to our sign off. Number: 54 Created: 11 /4/2005 [11/4/05] Please coordinate the title of the site, landscape, and construction plan documents to one consistent title. My preference would be "Sonic Drive -In - Lot 4 Tower Shoppes P.U.D." Number: 55 Created: 11 /4/2005 [11/4/05] Please provide a note on the construction plans as follows: The emergency access connection from Horsetooth Road to Timberline Road shall meet all access requirements of the Poudre Fire Authority.

Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: Transportation Number: 47 Created: 11 /1 /2005 [11/1/05] No further comments or concerns Department: Water Utilities Issue Contact: Basil Harridan Topic: Construction on Poudre School District property Number: 42 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31/05] Construction of the storm line on school property will require that the school district approve of these plans. It is important that Jerry Garretson of the Poudre School District be routed a copy of these plans so that he can proceed with reviewing them and providing PSD approval. It will also be important to make sure that the construction schedule is coordinated with the school district in order to minimize the impact on school operations. Page 3 Topic: Detention Pond Design Number: 43 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31 /05] It is not clear what portion of Lot 1 was accounted for in the design of the water quality pond. The text states that the west portion of that lot including the parking lot will be accommodated in this design. Since this is an interim design that will be modified once Lot 1 is developed it would be important to highlight that in the drainage report and explain, that if the same volume is to be maintained in the ultimate detention pond, how much impervious are of Lot 1 would be accommodated by the current design. Please justify how the 4.3 acres was arrived at to calculate the contributing area to the pond. The water quality detention pond looks like it has 3:1 side slopes, 4:1 sides slopes are preferable from a maintenance standpoint. Please provide a spillway design for the water quality pond. Grading plans call for a spill elevation of 4938.3 while the water quality outlet detail shows a spill elevation 4939.0 Topic: Erosion Control Number: 44 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31/051 Comments from Bob Zakely regarding the erosion control plan will be forwarded directly to the engineer on Monday November 7th. Number: 56 Created: 11 /7/2005 [11 /7/05] November 3, 2005 Please provide a complete stormwater management plan submittal per City specifications including a report, schedule, calculations, and surety. Topic: Off -site drainage easement Number: 45 Created: 10/31 /2005 [10/31/05] Please provide a drainage easement for the area that will be covered by the water quality pond. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 36 Created: 10/24/2005 [10/24/051 There is still no note regarding landscape securement of 125% of landscaping costs (plant/material) for CO if landscaping is incomplete.
