Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6 50 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STIFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: February 12, 1990 PROJECT: Rogers Park APPLICANT: Leslie Beckman, Parks and Recreation Department LAND USE DATA: Request for a minor plat for a neighborhood park, located at 2515 W. Mulberry. COMMENTS: Existing power lines must be undergrounded on the site. 2. There is an existing 6" water main through the site in a 20' easement. The easement needs to be shown on the plat. No structures, trees or large shrubs should be planted in this easement. Asphalt may be placed over the easement and would be removed, if access to the line is required. Utility easements will be needed from the mains to curb stops. Water and sewer mains are stubbed in Laurel, Pear and Rocky Road.. A water main exists in Mulberry. Any existing services in Mulberry that are not used need to be abandoned. A sewer main needs to be provided through this site to serve property to the west. 3. A fire hydrant may need to be added. Structures need to be within 400' of a fire hydrant. 4. Since Rocky Road would not be extended through this site, a cul-de-sac or other means of providing a turn around needs to be considered. 5. Improvements to the site's Mulberry Street frontage are required, including curb, gutter and sidewalk. A preliminary design for off -site Mulberry improvements is also required and needs to be continued for a distance that is adequate to show that the proposed design is functional. 6. The proposed curb cut on Mulberry Street should line-up with the curb cut on the north side of Mulberry. 7. A utility plan is required with the minor plat and needs to show all public improvements for Mulberry, Pear, Rocky and Laurel Street. 8. An overlay to Mulberry needs to be evaluated by City staff, due to the potential number of cuts in the street required to abandon existing utility services. 9. Utility easements need to be shown on the minor plat. Access easements for all parking lots also need to be shown on the plat. e e 10. Information regarding the storm sewer design in Mulberry is available from the Stormwater Utility. 11. The existing irrigation lateral on the site must be within an easement. The Stormwater Utility must review the design proposed for undergrounding this lateral. 12. A storm drainage report and plan and a grading plan, prepared by a licensed professional engineer, must be submitted with the minor plat. 13. On -site detention must be addressed. Based on the proposed use being less intense than land uses planned for in the storm sewer design, on -site detention may not be needed. Off -site flows must be considered and surrounding properties must not be impacted by drainage from this site. 14. Staff would encourage the applicant to retain as much existing vegetation as possible. 15. Bob Wilkinson of the Natural Resources Division will make an inspection of the site to evaluate for wetlands. 16. The access point on Mulberry may be widened to a maximum of 35', to accommodate turn bays. 17. Staff would encourage the applicant to consider providing pathways to connect parking areas with event viewing areas. 18. The issue of providing parking_ areas accessing off of what are currently dead end streets (specifically Rocky Road) may be a sensitive issue for dm� area property owners.
