Dear George,
The Planning Staff has had an opportunity to review the plans for the Utility
Services Center project. The following comments arc offered^
Enclosed please find a map prepared by the Light and Power Department
describing the location of the electrical facilities. These locations should be
included on the utility plans (sheet 2 of 2).
2. It appears that some of L & P's facilities will have to be relocated, removed,or
abandoned. Please coordinate with L & P on these potential modifications.
3. Access ramps should be shown.
4. The storm drain under the building may cause problems in case of blockage.
Typically, storm drains are not installed under buildings due to potential
hazards. It is suggested that this concept be discussed with Engineering. Storm
Drainage, and the utility services so the implications are clear to all parties.
5. The Poudre Fire Authority requests that the building be equipped with an
approved fire extinguishing system.
6. A fire hydrant should be added to the area north of the complex.
7. A fire access should be provided around the north side of the building as per
the master plan study of 1988.
8. Please contact the Public Service Company when gas load requirements for the
new building are known so that adequacy of existing gas lines can be \crif icd.
9. The parking lot aisle along Wood Street is 30 feet wide. This could be reduced
to 24 feet and allow more landscaping along the Wood Street frontage.
300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-b7 50
10. The southerly parking lot does not appear to have any landscaping along the
shared property line with Concrete Products. Since this area is confined by
the street alignment, opportunities for increased landscaping appear slim. Would
it be possible to plant some trees off -site across the property line? Would the
Concrete Products person object to this? With 17 foot stalls; there will be 2
foot vehicle overhang resulting in a 3 foot strip. Please investigate how this
situation could be improved.
11. The interior parking stalls at the southeast corner of the site should be framed
by landscaped islands.
12. The compact and long term parking spaces should be identified with raised
signs indicating the parking limitations.
13. Please indicate the location of the handicap parking and ramps.
This concludes our comments at this time. The schedule for the May 21, 1990
Planning and Zoning Board hearing is as follows`
Plan revisions are due Wecincsday, May 2, 1990.
P.M.T.'s, colored renderings. 10 prints are due May 14. 1990.
