COMMENTS:
1. Zoning Department:
a. A fire station is a "public facility" which is a type 1 use in the LMN zone
district, meaning that when the project goes to hearing for approval, the
decision maker is a hearing officer rather than the Planning and Zoning
Board.
b. A trash, enclosure will be required.
c. Site and Landscape plans will be required to be submitted for review. These
plans must satisfy the criteria in Articles 3 & 4 of the Land Use Code.
d. A sheet was given to the applicant regarding building codes.
2. Stormwater Utility Department:
Location: East Westchase Road and South Timberline
A. This site is in the Fossil Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2,274/acre
which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The site is in inventory grid #12T.
B. The Westchase drainage study will need to be followed and it indicates a runoff coefficient of
0.65.
C. The standard drainage reports and construction plans are required and they must be
prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado.
D. If water quality is addressed by the Westchase, system, onsite extended detention is not
required. If not, it will have to be onsite.
E. I was asked about the irrigation pipe along the west side of the site. It brings irrigation water
to Wayne Leistikow and Jim Lefler from the Mail Creek ditch. These two were the ones who
signed the Westchase plans and have farms to the south of Westchase. The Mail Creek
Ditch is part of the New Mercer Ditch Company who's president is Louis Swift (226-2136) and
the ditch rider is John Moen (482-3309).
3. Engineering Department:
a. Street Oversizing Fees and Larimer County's Road Impact Fees will be due
at the time of building permit. Check with Matt Baker for the specific
amount of this fee for your project.
b. The Westchase P.U.D. had an approved Traffic Impact Study (TIS), check
with Eric Bracke and Tom Reiff that the fire station use was accounted for
in that study.
c. You will be required to have a Development Agreement, a Development
Construction Permit, and Utility Plans.
d. Driveway widths do not appear to meet standards. Per standard, the
driveways would not have a radius. Can submit a variance to these
standards, so that the one's proposed can be considered.
e. Parking stalls need to meet setback requirements.
f.- The building and building envelope including footings can not encroach into
easements.
g. Will need to build any adjacent streets if not constructed.
h. Any cuts into existing streets will require street cut permit/fee and repared
in accordance with standards.
