Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 "4 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: December 11, 1989 ITEM: Amigos Mexican Restaurant, S.W.C. of Shields and University APPLICANT: Starwood C.M. c/o of Steve Olt, 831 West Olive Street, Fort Collins, CO. 80521 LAND USE DATA: 3500 square foot restaurant featuring drive up window, seating for 135 customers, on a lot measuring 120 feet wide (along Shields) and 230 feet deep (along University). Site currently contains a single family residence that has been converted to a dental office, to be relocated. COMMENTS: I. The relocation of the existing residence/dental practice will require the coordination of Light and Power. 2. There is an existing underground electrical conduit running the length of the west property line. This line must be placed in a utility easement 8 feet wide. Relocation of the transformer (which also serves the residence to the south) will be at the developer's expense. 3. The new pad mounted transformer must be accessible by a line truck but may be screened from view on three sides. A gate may screen the open side. 4. The existing residence/dental office is being served by a 3/4 inch water line, probably galvanized. If this service is insufficient, you may upgrade to either 1 or 1 1/2 inch water taps. Any new service should be tapped off the 6 inch water main in University rather than the main in Shields. The same applies to the sewer line. If the 4 inch domestic sewer line is insufficient, an upgraded line may be tapped into University. 5. A grease trap will be required on the sanitary sewer line to be located outside the building. Please contact Mark Taylor, Water and Sewer, 221-6681 for further details. 6. A drainage report will be required. If it can be proven that there will be no additional impact on the downstream storm sewer inlet, then a variance to the detention requirement may be considered. Please consider any offsite flows. Please contact Susan Hayes, Stormwater Utility, 221-6589, for details. 'r 4 7. The parking lot drive aisles should have a minimum of 20 inside and 40 foot outside turning radii for fire equipment. Also, the Poudre Fire Authority must do a fire flow capability test on the nearest hydrant. 8. It appears that portions of the building will be more than 150 feet away from the public street and will, therefore, place the building out of compliance with the Fire Code. Installation of fire sprinklers will alleviate this concern. Please contact Warren Jones, Fire Marshal, 221-6570, for details. 9. With R-H zoning, the project must proceed as a P.U.D. The menu board will be considered freestanding signage. 10. A Traffic Impact Analysis will be required. The study must analyze the intersection of University and Shields. Left turns from University to northbound Shields will be extremely difficult. The City has recent data on traffic volumes on Shields that will be available to the traffic consultant. It is currently estimated that Shields carries approximately 25,000 vehicle trips per day. 11. It is doubtful that the proposed right-in/right-out on Shields will be allowed. It is also questioned how much additional benefit this curb cut will confer on the site. There will not be a signal at University and Shields. The right -out only at the drive -through lane must be designed so that it will discourage illegal left turns. Signage alone will not prevent illegal left turns. 12. The Traffic Impact Analysis must factor in the assumptions made by the Choices '95 Capital Improvement Plan for Shields Street. Plans call for Shields to be widened to accommodate bikelanes and sidewalks. The traffic consultant should contact Rick Ensdorff, Transportation Director, 221-6608, for details. 13. Please consider pedestrian traffic from the campus. What measures will be taken to promote a smooth and safe pedestrian travel on and off the site? 14. The sidewalk on Shields must be detached and should be placed further west next to the property line. The detached area should be a minimum of 10 feet and planted with street trees. 15. A street oversizing fee of $14,005 per acre will apply. Please contact Matt Baker, City Engineer, 221-6605, for details. 16. It is suggested that a one lot subdivision plat be submitted concurrently with the P.U.D. in order to dedicate easements and right-of-way and vacate any unnecessary easements. There is no charge for a plat when submitted with a P.U.D. 17. A utility plan will be required. Please contact Mike Herzig or Rick Richter, 221-6750 for details. 18. A neighborhood information meeting will be required. Please contact Sherry Albertson -Clark for a map indicating the "area of notification" as soon as possible. A sufficient of lead time should be factored into your timetable to generate the mailing list, get out the mailing, and provide two weeks notice for the meeting.
