Box 580 • Fart Collins, CO 80522-0580 • i'03) 2-21-6i- CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: October 30, 1989 ITEM: Request to allow a retail/showroom, "Energy Options", in the R-P zone at 921 East Prospect Road. APPLICANT: Representing "Energy Options", Mrs. Marilyn Hartig, representing the landowner, Mr. John Keulen, 921 E. Prospect Road, Ft. Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request to allow a retail/showroom in an abandoned machine shop building located behind a single family residence in the R-P zone. The machine shop was a legal, non -conforming use. It has been discontinued for a period of 11 consecutive months. This abandonment period renders the use illegal. Thus, the retail/showroom must apply for a P.U.D. COMMENTS: Since there will be no anticipated changes to the existing electrical load, the City's Light and Power Department will not be involved. After the use is approved by the Planning and Zoning Board, the customer should contact Light and Power to have the electrical rate converted from the machine shop rate to a retail rate. This will rate conversion will be very cost effective for the applicant. 2. The retail user will be allowed to to use the same water and sewer taps that serve the existing residence. To do this, the applicant/homeowner must enter into an agreement with the Water and Sewer Department. This agreement will state that the shop will not be converted to a residential use and that the shop will not be divided off from the residence and conveyed to another owner. The agreement will be recorded with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder so it be available to the public and show up on a title search. Please contact Mr. Brian Hahn, Water and Sewer Department, 221-6681. 3. As long as the shop building is not expanded, the Poudre Fire Authority has no specific comments. Please check with the Building Inspection Division regarding the number of parking spaces including handicap spaces. 4. The Stormwater Utility must be informed as to whether or not the driveway will be required to be paved. If the driveway is to remain in gravel, then a letter from a registered engineer must be provided stating that the change in land use will not affect the stormwater runoff. If the driveway is to be paved, then the increase in impervious surface area must be offset by onsite detention of storm flows. Please contact Mr. Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility, 221-6589. 5. The Engineering Department must inspect the property and evaluate the antici- pated amount of traffic that will be generated by the proposed use. Informa- tion should be provided describing the amount of customers during the peak time (Saturday mornings?) and the average number of customers per hour. The site inspection and the traffic data will assist the Engineering Department in making the following decisions: A. Construction of a sidewalk in front of the property. B. Consolidation of the curb cut on Prospect Road. C. Construction of a driveway concrete apron from the curb to property line. D. Dedication of public right-of-way to full arterial standards. These decisions will be based upon the anticipated impact on the public improvements due to the change in land use. 6. The Planning Department will require a neighborhood meeting. This meeting will be facilitated by project Planner. The concerns and input of the surrounding property owners must be factored into the P.U.D. proposal. The minutes of the meeting will become part of the public record and be made available to the Planning and Zoning Board.
