RE: Fairview P.U.D., Phase Four, C.B. Potts Clubhouse Brewery Addition,
Planning & Zoning Concerns.
Dear Ted',
At the planning and zoning meeting of July 22nd several board members called
for further discussion specific points related to the proposed C.B. Potts micro
brewery. I would like to offer some additional . comments to assist in those
discussions.
1. FUTURE EXPANSION: The proposed building addition is modest in size,
812 square foot in floor area, consisting of two new brewery rooms. The
brewery operation is entirely contained within the new space. There will
also be some remodel within the existing building to add a larger walk-in
cooler. No bottling operations are proposed or will be permitted in the
future. The beer produced here is for sale on -site by tap or to two other
C.B. Potts locations in kegs. No other sales are anticipated.
The brewing operation is similar in 'size' and scope to the C.B. Potts in
Denver which also does not bottle or sell beer off site. The clubhouse will
-- -- --retain—its--existing--bar_and - pool_ tables as its primary _business. ; The
proposal is similar in scale to the Coopersmith's Brew -Pub in downtown
Fort Collins.
No significant expansion of the building will be proposed in the future
because we are built up to the property lines and easements on all sides.
This project will fill the remainder of the buildable area on this site.
The brewery will add one new staff member, the brewmaster who will run
the entire operation.
n
Some of the seating area, (approximately 350 square feet) will be lost to .
the new cooler. This represents at least 20 less. customers in the serving`"
area:
150 EAST 29TH STREET PALMER GARDENS. SUITE 200 LOVELAND, COLORADO 80538 303/669-9060
FACSIMILE 303/669-9066
2. SILO: The silo is a standard agricultural product which is necessary to..:.
expedite the grain handling portion of the brewery. We have shown our ., -
-__.intent to. mitigate.. all. possible impacts such .as dust;_ odor, _or .aesthetics_.;::::. ,.-
(see previous comments). The silo area is landscaped and the silo will be
painted to match the C.B.Potts buildings.
Architecturally we have borrowed elements from the original Potts
building which has a rustic Colorado style. The goal was to make this
building look less like a converted "Duds and Suds" and more like a
combination of a farm building with a bar and restaurant. The agrarian
nature of the architecture is apparent in the proposed elevations.
3. LANDSCAPE: The building has sidewalks and parking directly adjacent
to its two most visible sides. This proposal will add some additional
landscape material at the silo area and in the parking lot behind (south of)
the building.
4. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS: There is a sidewalk system which could convey
pedestrian traffic past the east side of the building to the southern parking
lot and the Matador Apartment (the area is too narrow for a vehicular
connection). However much of the pedestrian traffic chooses to walk
through a landscaped area to the west of the building, between the
clubhouse and the Diamond Shamrock detention pond. In light of this we
have negotiated with Diamond Shamrock to construct a sidewalk on their
property through this area. There will also be a split -rail fence between
the detention pond and this sidewalk.
hope this is responsive to the concerns of the Planning & Zoning board. ;We
look forward to being heard on August 12th. Please feel free to call if you. have
any questions.
