LAND USE DATA: Request by Transportation to convert an existing building, 14,000 square feet, from material storage to office and equipment and vehicle storage. Also, a request by the Streets Department to add two material storage facilities (domes) for sand/salt and de-icer material. Domes would be 120 feet in diameter and about 40'feet high. Site is located at the existing East Vine Streets Facility at the southwest corner of East Vine Drive and North Lemay Avenue (Ninth Street). COMMENTS: if no separate electrical service is needed, then there are no new requirements from Light and Power. Any relocation of existing facilities will be at the developer's __expense. 2. There is a large (13KV) transmission line located underground near the south property line. This line should be located in the field and not encroached upon by the proposed enclosed vehicle storage building. Normal development charges will apply. For further information, please contact Doug Martine, 221-6700. 3. There is an existing eight inch diameter water main that serves the site and an existing 24 inch diameter sanitary sewer main south of the main building. The water main must be extended to the western property line of each phase for a future loop with a main in Linden Street. A sand and oil interceptor will be required on the sewer connection from the vehicle storage area. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681.

The site is located in the industrial Zone District. The.proposed land uses are permitted in this zone. Please note the following two Industrial District Standards that trigger a Planning and Zoning Board (Type Two) review: "All new structures greater than fifty thousand (50,000) square feet in floor . area shall be subject to Planning and Zoning Board review." "Any building addition that exceeds fifty thousand (50,000) square feet in floor area or exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the gross floor area of the existing building, whichever is greater, shall be subject to. Planning and Zoning Board review." 5. The Code requires that there be no more than .75 parking spaces per employee or submit an Alternative Plan that meets the specified criteria. (The Alternative Compliance section for parking requirements was recently adopted by Council and does not appear in the March 28, 1997 version of the Code.) 6. Landscaping should be provided on the north side of the domes to mitigate the impact along East Vine Street. 7. A sidewalk should be added connecting the Traffic Dept. to the existing parking lot. 8. The Poudre Fire Authority will require that the existing dry pipe system in the existing building be converted to a wet pipe system. Also, since paint will be stored, please submit a Hazardous Material Impact Analysis and Hazardous Material Managment Plan. Since the two domes will exceed 5,000 square feet of uncontained floor area, and since the stored material is non-flammable, a variance from the -requirements -of-----_ Uniform Building Code will be needed from the Building Board of Appeals.' Please contact Felix Lee, 221-6760 for further information. 10. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, for estimates on the applicable Street Oversizing Fees for the renovation and the new domes.

Racks should be permanently anchored to concrete and not interfere with walkways. 14. The site is located in.the Dry Creek Drainage Basin. The storm drainage fee in this basin is $5,000 per acre of new impervious surface. The submittal should include. a Drainage Report, Erosion Control Plan, and Grading and Drainage Plan. Be sure to verify that existing drainage patterns are not altered and that storm flows are properly routed to the approved outfall.
