CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: October 5, 1992
ITEM: Evergreen Park Lot 4 , IL Site Plan Review
APPLICANT: Bob Gomez
4533 Moccasin Circle
LaPorte, CO 80535
LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal to expand an existing IL Site
Plan to add additional outdoor storage to an approved warehouse use
and to expand the use onto the lot to the south. The property is
located north of Conifer Street, south of Bristlecone Drive, east
of College Avenue at 1314 Red Cedar Circle.
COMMENTS:
1. The Zoning Department has made a determination to allow a
temporary certificate of occupancy to be issued, for a 2 year
time period, once the I-L Site Plan and Utility Plans have
been approved. A permanent certificate would be issued only
upon completion of the paving and required interior parking
lot landscaping. In the meantime, compacted road base will
be allowed for this particular use.
2. Please refer to the parking lot landscaping guidelines and
handouts when drawing up your landscape plan. The intent of
the landscaping ,is to provide a buffer strip around the
perimeter of the lot and to screen the outdoor storage area
from adjacent properties and streets. Staff would be looking
for a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs to
provide winter screening as well.
"3.- -Light-and--Power development charges are based on the size of
the site. Lot 3 charges have been paid. Lot 4 charges have
not been paid. A separate bill will be sent for these
charges, to be paid as a condition of continued service to Lot
3. There will be additional charges if and when a building is
constructed on Lot 4.
4. Continue to work with Glen Schlueter at the Stormwater
Utility to address all drainage concerns on this property.
There was a condition of approval on Lot 3, that the Grading
and Drainage Plans be approved by the Stormwater Utility,
prior to the issuance of any building permits or certificates
of occupancy. As far as I know, your Utility, Grading, and
Drainage Plans are not complete at this time.
5. Poudre Fire Authority does not have a problem with the interim
road base. They will be concerned about adequate access
around the buildings, if and when, they are constructed.
6. Please redraw the entrance gate to accurately reflect the type
of gate that is being proposed. The way the gate on the
drawing is shown is not acceptable to the Fire Authority.
7. You will have to provide a Knox box to the Fire Authority to
put the gate code in, to enable the Fire Authority to access
the property in the case of an emergency.
8. A building permit will be required for any additional
buildings on these lots.
9. If either building is greater than 5,000 square feet in
uncontained area, you will be required to install an automatic
fire sprinkler system or divide the interior into smaller
areas.
10. Engineering requires that you design, pave, and complete the
public improvements (curb, gutter., walk, and pavement) to Red
Cedar Circle to the south property line. There is a
possibility of a repay agreement to receive reimbursement as
other properties in the area develop.
11. A Development Agreement and Utility Plans (including the
street design) must be complete and signed prior to the
issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the
outdoor storage area. Please complete the enclosed
"Development Agreement" form as soon as possible.
12. Planning Staff is concerned about screening and buffering of
a fairly unsightly use, which outdoor storage tends to be.
Staff suggests the use of evergreen trees and shrubs, in
addition to deciduous plantings. Security lighting should be
down directional with a short cut-off of light to prevent
light spillage off -site.
13. Please contact Ken Kirchoff at the Police Department (221-
-- -- 6833) for additional information on crime prevention in this
area.
