Dear Mr. Lucas,
I am writing to letw you know that on April 16, 1992, the
Transportation Commission approved -the request to change the Access
Category Schedule far the section of U.S. 287 (College Avenue) from
Hemlock Street. in Fort Collins, north to the junction of State
Highway 1. This section of U.S. 287 is now a Category 4 highway.
Your proposed project, the Burger King at Country Club Corners, was
given approval by the Planning and Zoning Board with a condition
that an access permit be granted by the State Department of
Transportation. The City of Fort Collins Engineering Department
can file for an access permit when you are ready to proceed.
Because of the category change there should not be a problem
granting access at that location. Please contact Mike Herzig, at
221-6750, for more information.
Before any building permits can be issued, the Overall Development
Plan, plat, site and landscape plans, utility plans, and
development agreement will have to be signed and filed. Please
contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience
and understanding.
Sincerely,

MAJOR ARTERIAL] AND ITS SHORT AXIS BETWEEN WILLOX LANE [AN
ARTERIAL] AND BRISTLECONE DRIVE. THE PROJECT IS CONCEIVED AS A
CENTER FOR SHOPPING WITH SUPPORT SERVICE USES AND A SUPERMARKET
GROCERY STORE. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE NORTH FORT COLLINS
WITH A ITS FIRST MAJOR SHOPPING CENTER. WHILE IT IS CUSTOMARY
FOR NEIGH901RHODD CENTERS TO LOCATED OFF COLLEGE AVE. THIS
LOCATION IS JUSTIFIED DUE TO LAND RESTRAINTS, EMPLOYMENT
LOCATIONS, AND HOUSING DISTRIBUTION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FORT
COLLINS. THE CITY HAS HAD A LONG STANDING POLICY OF SUPPORT FOR
GROWTH EXPANSION ON THE CITIES NORTH SIDE. THIS CENTER WILL
PROVIDE A MUCH NEEDED SOURCE FOR EMPLOYMENT, SUPERMARKET, AND
SUPPORT SERVICES REQUIRED FOR THIS AREA OF FORT COLLINS TO GROW,
BOTH FROM A COMMERCIAL STANDPOINT AND AS AN ATTRACTION FOR NEW
RESIDENTIAL GROWTH. THE PLAN WAS APPROVED ACCOMPANIED BY AN
ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT FILED WITH THE ODP. THE ODP CONTAINS
INFORMATION AS TO IINTENDED USES, BOTH ANCHOR AND SUPPORT; DEFINED
INTERIOR CIRCULATION ACCESS WAYS; EXPECTATIONS FOR CURB CUTS TO
SURROUNDING STREETS; AND EXPECTATIONS FOR GROSS BUILDING SQUARE
FOOTAGE.
SINCE F; PRELIMINARY PLAN IS NOT BEING SUBMITTED FOR THE
ENTIRE CENTER AT THIS TIME AN ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT INDICATING
BUILDING LOCATIONS. POSSIBLE USES, PARKING CONSIDERATIONS, AND
CIRCULATION ROUTES IS SUBMITTED TO BE APPROVED WITH THE ODP AND
TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF COMFORT TO CITY STAFF AS TO THE INTENTIONS
OF THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. THE GDP AND ILLUSTRATIVE
CONCEPT IS INTENDED TO BE A GUIDELINE FOR FUTURE PHASED
SUBMISSIONS. FILING ONE AND TWO HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. APPROVED
AND CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY. FILING ONE IS THE EXISTING
BURGER KING BUILDING WHICH WAS CONSTRUCTED ALONG WITH THE MAIN
ENTRANCE FROM COLLEGE AVE. TO THE INTENDED CENTER.

On March 28th I gave you a status report on plan review
for the proposed Albertsons on North College. The
Utility plans (public improvements) were late in being
submitted by the developer's engineer. Albertsons needed
to complete their plan review and approval by May 1st to
keep on their desired schedule.
The plans were :submitted on April 4th, a week and a half
after their promised date. On April 6th we were told by
their engineer that the plans submitted were incorrect
and more revisions were needed for storm drainage, which
would change all of their drainage calculations. The
changes in pipe sizes will also affect some street
design.
We discussed the problem with Steve Parry, the
developer's project manager. After several conversations
with Steve and his engineer, we decided that we would not
review the plan: submitted. We would help them out by
holding their place in line for plan review until April
17th, our estimated date that we would start looking at
their plans. If' they do not make the April 17th
deadline, we will have to discuss options. They believe
they can make the deadline. Steve Parry understands the
problem and that: May 1st is not realistic.
We appreciate their having told us the plans were
incomplete before we wasted time checking. It looks like
at least 5 more weeks before they could start. We will
continue to help them as best we can and keep you
informed on the status.

In my last status report of April 10th, the consultant for the
proposed Albertsons on North College was supposed to submit
revised utility by April 17th for our review. That date
came and went without plans submitted.
I talked to Steve Parry, the developers project manager, to find
out what was happening. He said that the revisions were
complex and were taking longer to finish. He said a submittal
would be made on April 20th. A two page letter was submitted by the
consultant to Stormwater Department. However, the letter was
not enough information to review.
So, we are still waiting for some plans to review. Again we will
help them all we can to get through the system when the "ball
is in our court."
Steve Parry mentioned that his boss, Dan Yacaveta, would be meeting
with Mayor Azari on Tuesday, April 25th, at 2:00 p.m. and he
invited me to attend. I told him we would discuss it here and decide
who from City staff should attend.
We will keep you informed.

SUBJECT: Albertson's
As a follow-up to our Tuesday meeting with the representatives from Denver Holdings,
a meeting was held yesterday to review what appears to be the remaining issues
regarding the Albertson's project. Those in attendance included all City staff involved
in the review of the utility plans (Engineering, Stormwater and WaterlWastewater),
Current Planning staff, Steve Parry from Denver Holdings and engineers from
Landmark Engineering, who work for Denver Holdings.
A brief summary of the salient points from the meeting include:
• All of the issues based on the current submittal of utility plans were
identified and discussed. This should make it clear exactly what needs to
be addressed in the next submittal.
• Landmark Engineering expect to make two additional submittals. This
indicates that they realize they have not submitted final drawings for the
City's review and do not expect approval of the current submittal.
• The point was made that each previous submittal from the applicant has
had major changes that resulted in a totally new review by City staff.
• Steve Parry, from Denver Holdings, used a ground breaking date of mid -
June as the deadline for Albertsons. In the Tuesday meeting, Dan
Yacavetta used a date of June 1.
• City staff will complete review of the current submittal by tomorrow, April
28. Landmark Engineering expects to make the next submittal around
May 12. There will probably be a three week review period by our staff.

FAX (303) 221-6378 TDD (303) 224-6002
The final submittal from Landmark is expected the week of June 6. It is
estimated that the project could receive final submittal by mid -June. This
anticipated timeline assumes that the submittals from the applicant are
complete and respond to all reviewers concerns.
Over lot grading on the site can begin before final approval of the utility
plans. This will probably commence around mid -May.
The meeting was valuable to identify specific issues and to identify a potential timeline
for completing this phase of the development. Assuming that upcoming submittals from
the applicant are complete and respond to our comments, we should meet Albertson's
timeline for breaking ground.
Should you have any questions regarding this meeting or the project, please contact
me.

RE: Country Club Corner Shopping Center, Fort Collins

Subject: Approval to begin underground Improvements/Utilities
Michael:
Thanks for getting back to me this morning via a phone conversation. As you know, we are
under considerable pressure to move forward with the building construction of the Albertsons
store at Country Club Corner. In order for the Albertsons store to open in late November of
this year, as required by Albertsons, we must begin related utility tie-ins and initial building
of Albertsons no later than the 17th of July. I understand that we will be issued a building
permit to begin either underground utilities or the building itself only after the plat is
recorded. Let me know if you see things differently or if there is a way to short-cut this
requirement.
The final improvement plans have been submitted to your department as well as the
stormwater group now for over 2 weeks. Ken Merritt, from Landmark Engineering, informs
me that these plans have been very carefully completed, reflecting comments from your staff
as well as "Stormwater" and "Water & Sewer". I trust that these revised plans ( through at
least 4 plan checks) are now very clean. Based upon your published City flow chart and
schedule, as well as discussions with you and other City staff, I see that we have a real shot at
meeting this time line if we all cooperate to the fullest. I have placed Landmark Engineering
on a "full scale alert" so as to provide any service or support you may require to see that these
plans are complete and to your satisfaction. As I see it, we must receive any final comments
from the City back this week to make that schedule. In addition to completing the engineering
plans, we must complete the "Development Agreement" with the City. I understand that we
'11 be werk*tig with you directly on this ;utter.
Mike, I really do appreciate your cooperation. We would prefer to avoid this pressure, but we
are clearly under a critical deadline to begin the Albertsons store and related utility work. I
promise full cooperation from our company as well as well as engineering and our general
10065 Fast contractor (Frank M. Hall & Co.) as you proceed to coordinate plan approvals and have the
Har%ard Avcnuc. plat ready for recordation. Call me anytime as you need our assistance. I would appreciate a
call from you by the end of this week for an update, prior to the 4th of July weekend. Thanks
Suite 803 for updating the plan approval schedule with Dan Yacovetta and me on the phone today. We
Deuven Colorado are encouraged by your comments.

Dear Planner:
We have reviewed the Country Club Corners proposal, and we have the
following comments:
Projected traffic on S.H. 287 indicates the need for a 120 foot total
right of way, 60 feet each side of the highway centerline. It is recognized
that an additional 10 feet of right of way is to be dedicated to provide
the desired width through Lot 1 and Tract A.
Access to -the highway for the anticipated development should be obtained
from the adjacent streets,-Bristlecone and Willox, with no direct access
to the development from the state highway. The highway in this area is
a Category 3 designation. According to the State Highway Access Code regarding
Category 3 highways, private direct access to the state highway system
shall be permitted only when the property in question has no other reasonable
access to the general street system or if the local authority and Department
determine and agree that denial of direct access to the state highway and
alternative direct access to another roadway would cause unacceptable traffic
operation and safety problems to the overall traffic flow to the general
street system. The proposed development would require that an Access Permit
be issued for the existing access, due to change of use of the property.
At such time that the application for access is received, the property,
as a whole, must be brought into reasonable conformance to the State Highway
Access Code, thereby causing the need to eliminate the existing access.
Our comments on state highway access are based on the information
presented for this property only. If the property owner has any interests
or ownership in adjacent property along the highway, this information should
be provided since it may affect our comments.

As you may know, we are now underway with site construction of Country Club Corner retail
shopping center on North College Avenue. Additionally we have commenced construction of
the Albertsons store, the anchor tenant for the center. We feel we have a real shot at meeting
Albertsons goal of opening their store by the middle of December and clearly we are pleased to
be able to reasonably attain that objective.
We want to provide a special thanks to you and your staff for the considerable support provided
to us during this approval process through the City. Without this special help we certainly could
not have met this time constraint. We recognize that our timing was very aggressive, but that
was the parameter that we were obligated to achieve with Albertsons. Acknowledging the
amount of engineering work that is occurring within the City at this time, it really took a major
effort from a lot of people to be where we are today.
I want to acknowledge a few people in particular for their extra support in this effort. The
engineering approvals was headed up by Mike Herzig. Mike coordinated much of the various
departments and agencies in their review and clearly this was necessary to achieve the
objectives. Mike was supported by some other quality people like Kerrie Ashbeck and others
within the engineering department. Steve Olt was particularly helpful in areas of land planning
and other coordination.
Glen Schlueter and Basil Harridan were especially helpful to us in reviewing and approving our
stormwater plans and offering valuable assistance in our design as it needed to change due to
complexities of the site. The same support was provided by Roger Buffington in the Water and
Waste Water Departments.
Also I want to thank Frank Bruno for his support to our efforts to move this project along. 1
10065 East realize that these special services are not easy to provide given the high demand and limited
staffing within the City. So thank you again. I hope we will be regarded well within the City
Harvard Avenue, and that you will find our project a benefit the City of Fort Collins and its citizens.

Subject: Request for approval to begin Albertsons "Footings & Foundations"
Michael:
Site work grading is progressing well at the "Country Club Corner" site on College Avenue.
We are focusing our activity on the Albertsons site since their building construction must begin
'. `,
as soon as possible for us to have any chance of meeting their scheduled opening the beginning
9'
of December. It appears that the grading on the Albertsons site should be ready to trench for
)Y rt:
footings and foundations next week. We do not, however, expect to be ready for a formal
building permit until July 14, perhaps Monday, July 17 upon completion of engineering Mylars
(with appropriate signatures), the development agreement completed, and finally the recordation
of the plat map. As stated in my earlier letter, I am attempting to meet a deadline for permitting
a
of the Albertsons building no later than Jul 17
"
I understand from Roger Buffington that there are some issues that need resolution on the waste
t
water plans. Basal expects to complete the review of the stormwater plans today. I have given
our civil engineer, Landmark Engineering, specific directions to review these issues today and
complete any final issues over the weekend. Hopefully that will include any issues you and
your team find on the balance of the plans. If the issues are minor and can be easily corrected,
perhaps we can immediately progress to the preparation of "Mylars" and submit these by mid
next week. That may give us a shot at completing everything the latter part of next week and
the following week such that we can record the plat on Friday, July 14 or perhaps even sooner.
Then formal building permitting could then be possible on Monday, July 17.
We may be iavl , to save sum% tine if we were allowed to obtain a "Footings and Foundation
Permit" sometime next week, perhaps as early as Wednesday, July 5. If that were possible then
we could form and pour footings next week and the week of July 10. Please let me know if this
is possible.. Roger Buffington and Basal indicated that they would not object and deferred to
you for permission. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I would like to provide some
10065 Fast direction to my contractor next Monday, July 3.

As of this morning the Developer for Albertsons has been free
to take out a footing and foundation (F&F) permit for beginning
construction of their new store on North College. Plans have
been approved, the development agreement signed and other
official documents in process to be filed at the County. A few
minor items are needed before a full building permit can be
issued. However, they should be finished in a couple of days
and should not affect their building process.

Ga►- project.
QJb. No trees may be planted within 4' of gas lines.
2. A copy of the comments received from Sharon Getz of the
Building Inspection Department is attached to this letter.
3. The comments received from the Mapping/Surveying Department
are as follows:
How do Lots 7 and 8 legally get access, based on the
information provided on the subdivision piat?
The easement between Lots 7 and 8 needs to be labeled.
The Access, Utility, and Drainage easements do not cross
the Greeley water line. Is this a problem?
There is a recorded subdivision plat in the City titled
Country Club Corners P.U.D. Assuming that changes are
being made to the plat of record, this request will have
to be a replat of the recorded plat.
4. The Water/Wastewater Department has indicated that their
comments are included on red -lined utility and landscape
plans. These plans have been forwarded to Landmark
Engineering.
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
FAX (303) 221-6378 TDD (303) 224-6002
5. The City of Greeley must review these plans due to their
wA1_-T71JU1 Oe existing 27" underground water line that crosses the property.
6ozen-gy 7� This wz*iter line is fairly shallow, which could affect
60mimprovements to the site.
6. A copy of the comments received from the Engineering
Department is attached to this letter.
7. There is a recently adopted City Ordinance No. 76, 1994 that
deals with landscape and irrigation design standards for
developments. This development is subject to the requirements
of the new ordinance, which is available in the Planning
Office. A copy of the comments received from Jim Clark, the
City's Water Conservation Specialist, is attached to this
letter.
8. Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, has stated that the street
trees between the sidewalk and curb need to be changed from
Red Oak to Bur Oak. Also, it is being suggested that the
Bradford Pear be changed to Autumn Blaze Pear.
9. The striping plan that was submitted shows a southbound left
turn lane into the shopping center from North College Avenue.
SYfCIP�����5 A raised median will have to be constructed in North College
P'nPW n if a left turn in is desired and the design of the median
�UTC� island must be reviewed at this time. The access to the
�i rA shopping center from North College, between the Union Colony
Q Bank and Burger King, will never be signalized. A right-
in/right-out only for this access was approved with Burger
King. The elements of the approved North College Avenue Access
Control Plan are significant.. Please contact Tom Vosburg of
the Transportation Department to discuss these comments. He
can be reached at 221-6608.
10. Speed humps are needed in the driveway along the store fronts.
11. There will be significant pedestrian origins from residential
communities along North College Avenue. It is being suggested
that pedestrian "landing areas" (possibly with benches to
create good, safe resting points) be provided at the southeast
corner of College Avenue and Willox Lane and on the east side
of the eastern entry to the shopping center from Willox Lane.
There should be a pedestrian crosswalk on the east side of the
entry of the same scored concrete material as being used
elsewhere on the site. These type of improvements would better
serve the anticipated number of pedestrians to the shopping
center.
12. Are both north -south internal drives being constructed to
Bristlec:one Drive with the Albertson's phase of development?
Volte The notes on the Site Plan should be clarified to state the
intent. It could be interpreted to mean that "the edge of
asphalt pavement this phase of work" will occur with the
development of Lots 9, 10, and 11.
13. The sidewalk along the North College Avenue frontage should be
y completed from the north edge of Burger King to the
intersection of College Avenue and Willox Lane with this
project. This will complete the pedestrian link in this area.
14. What is the reference to "barrel color green typ." above the
00. drug store building on the elevation plan? The alternating
Pf\ grey & red color bands on the masonry walls are 21.to 3' wide
horizontal bands wrapping completely around the buildings?
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as 'the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay
on schedule for the January 23, 1995 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:
Plan revisions are due no later than the end of the working day,
January 4, 1995. Please contact me- for the number of folded
revisions required for each document.
PMT1s, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the
Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on January
17, 1995.
Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions or concerns
related.to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with
you as soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments.

The information presented does not indicate the direction of surface
run-off flow. The developer is reminded that the highway drainage system
is for the protection of the state highway right of way and is not intended
to accommodate drainage from abutting properties beyond that which has
historically been accepted. Therefore, we ask that on site retention of
surface run-off be provided so that the historical run-off rate will not
be exceeded due to this development.
The plan shows landscaping within the state highway right of way.
We allow such landscaping provided that it is maintained by the adjacent
private property owner, does not impair sight distance at any highway access,
does not present a safety hazard, and would not unreasonably conflict with
future highway expansion.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. Please contact
me at 350-2163 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ric,
City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Country Club Corner
Overall Development Plan and Preliminary Plan for the Burger King
Fast Food Restaurant, and offers the following comments:
1. Public Service will need 10' to 15' utility easements
dedicated adjoining the south line of Willox Lane and the
north line of Bristlecone as the overall site is developed and
platted.
2. An overall conceptual drainage plan needs to be submitted for
the ODP. There is an existing storm sewer to the development
and preliminary results of an on -going study by the Stormwater
Utility indicates that the storm sewer may be a limiting
factor for stormwater release. It appears that the public
storm sewer outfall combined with street capacities does meet
present criteria. On -site detention may be needed as a result
of the on site storm sewer capacity even though the public
outfall .system would allow release of the 100 year storm event
without detention.
3. There are other stormwater alternatives but they should be
planned for in advance so that any planned building sites can
be designed to accommodate the storm sewer system especially
if it involves surface flow.
4. All building must be constructed to the limitations of the
existing water supply. Proposed water lines and fire hydrants
should be shown on the ODP.
5. Large buildings, such as grocery stores and discount drug
stores will require fire sprinkler protection.
6. Some uses may require hazardous materials impact analysis.
7. US West Communications requests a 15 foot utility easement
paralleling the existing 8" sanitary sewer on the east side of
the "pad sites". The intent is to continue the "alley"
2H 1 \orILh C o I I ; % cn'_;L' 1'.0 . o',
concept of Evergreen Park and keep local telephone cable out
of the College Avenue corridor.
8. I have unclosed a letter from the State Highway Department
regarding access to the site. The letter seems to indicate
that unless the shopping center is going in, the curb cut on
College Avenue is not justified by the Burger King alone or by
combining the access cut with the existing bank. I have
contacted Rick Ensdorff for clarification on this issue. We
may need to set up a meeting with the Highway Department to
discuss ,access on North College.
9. Is OVD the same as ODP?! I don't blame you if it is confusing
and maybe OVD is a better name for it.
10. I should point out that Willox Lane has been designated on the
Master Street Plan as an arterial street, not a collector as
is stated in your report. You may want to change this
wording, but I don't believe that it changes how the project
does on -the point charts.
11. On the Neighborhood Service Center Point Chart the number in
the right hand column should be 64, since you need to bring
over to -the right column the 6 for joint parking, if you use
it on the left. Also the previous total was not correct. On
the left, the total is 50, giving the ODP 78%. This is over
the 50% :required by the LDGS.
12. On the Auto -related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart, the
Burger King would not get points for primary access from a
non -arterial street, because the drive is not a city street.
The project therefore takes its primary access from College
Avenue, an arterial street.
13. Do you intend to include the existing bank in this PUD? If
not, the Burger King alone is not two acres or more and is not
mixed use so points could not be taken for those criteria.
Also, joint parking will not apply to the Preliminary.
Without the bank, the Preliminary scores 42% on this point
chart, under the minimum of 50%, unless some credit (2 points
x 2) are taken for energy conservation. Please indicate how
energy conservation will be addressed.
14. On the ODP and Preliminary Plan please indicate the existing
topography with elevations and 2' contour intervals.
15. On the ODP please make a note as to the maximum building
height to be allowed.
16. One of the submittal requirements for ODP's (formally Master
Plans) is a requirement to give the location and general
nature of each land use. This could be better accomplished on
the ODP by creating a table with two headings, one for the
anchor and support shop uses and one for the pad site uses.
Under these two headings list the general uses. This is
similar 'to what you have already submitted, but more defined.
17. Include on the ODP some conceptual arrows for pedestrian/bike
access to the shopping center from the office uses to the east
as it is very likely that the proposed restaurant uses will
attract pedestrians from neighboring uses. Staff would also
like to see pedestrian access to the pad sites from the
sidewalk on College, please add some conceptual arrows to
indicate this. These should be added to the illustrative
concept as well..
18. The area shown on the ODP and Preliminary Plan must extend
beyond the property lines of the proposal to include a survey
of the area within 150' of the proposal, exclusive of public
right-of-way, at the same scale as the proposal and include
the following:
a) Land uses, location of principal structures and major
existing landscape features;
b) Traffic circulation system, including curb cuts and
drives;
c) Natural features of landscaping; and
d) General topographical mapping at the same scale as the
ODP.
19. Please indicate on the vicinity map for the ODP, where the
project :is located.
20. Add a signature block, for the attorney's certification of
ownership, to the ODP and Preliminary Plan and include the
wording "'Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Board" under the
signature line for the Planning and Zoning Board.
21. Please submit the name and address of each owner of property
in the Master Plan area. If the bank is to be included in the
Preliminary it should be included in the ODP.
22. The City Transportation Division would like to see two exit
lanes for the main entrance with one signed for "right -turn
only".
23. Please label the utility easements on the ODP for the specific
utility uses.
The following comments relate specifically to the Preliminary Plan.
24. Please include a note indicating that all landscaping for this
PUD, including any landscaping in the public right-of-way,
will be maintained by the individual property owners.
25. The North College area is currently served by Transfort Route
#8 with :Mops on the north side of Willox when westbound and
on the west side of College at Willox when southbound.
Transfort has indicated that they have no plans to change this
route in. the near future.
26. Please provide more detail on the parking. situation. How many
employees and what will- their parking needs be? Please
include one more handicapped space next to the existing one.
Given that someone may disembark from the bus or be on the
College Avenue sidewalk, indicate how pedestrian circulation
will be safely provided through the site. The Commission on
Disability has a concern that the only access for someone on
the walk. is to go completely around the landscaped areas to
the entrance. One solution would be to provide a sidewalk
along the north property boundary to the location of the first
landscaped island. Also indicate pedestrian access to the
site from the shopping center. Please indicate bicycle and
motorcycle parking.
27. The menu order board will require a zoning variance as it
counts as one free-standing sign if it is visible from any
adjacent property line. If it is mounted on the building it
would not count as a free standing sign but it would be
limited in size. Please indicate how many stacking spaces you
will have behind the menu board. You may find that you will
need to move the board to the west to get enough stacking
space without creating a conflict at the north entrance.
28. On -site traffic/directional signage must not exceed 4 square
feet in area/face.
29. Please provide schematics of all signage, including proposed
materials, colors, lighting schemes, and size. Staff will
expect the sign package to be similar to the package for the
Burger Rings at Raintree and the Market Place PUDs. Please
make a note on the preliminary plan that roof top signage will
not be permitted. As Staff has concerns about the impact of
signage from this property on the streetscape, we request that
the wall sign on the south facade be eliminated, it is less
than 44' from the monument sign. The wall sign on the north
facade shall be individual, pan channeled, internally
illuminate letters in one color no greater than 18" in height,
instead of the 4'x 4' cabinet sign. Staff also requests that
there be no reader boards associated with this PUD.
30. Where will the main sign for the Center be located?
31. US West Communications requests a 15' utility easement
paralleling the existing 8" sanitary sewer line.
32. Adjust the detention pond so the grease trap and manhole are
not be :located in the pond. The existing sanitary sewer
easement needs to be increased to 301.
33. I have attached a copy of the site plan showing the
approximate location of the existing streetlights. Please
keep in mind that street trees need to be at least 40' from
street lights and ornamentals need to be at least 15' away
from street lights.
34. Currently the City has- an ordinance which requires the
developer of this property to have the REA overhead line on
Willox put underground. There may be some change to this
ordinance in the near future. Please contact Doug Martine at
Light and Power for the latest information.
35. Dedicate right-of-way on College Avenue to 16' from the
flowline to accommodate the parkway and 7' walk which will be
located within the right-of-way.
36. The decel lane must be designed to meet State Highway Access
Code requirements.
37. A State Highway Access Permit will need to be applied for
through 'the City prior to final approval.
38. As with the ODP, access is an issue with the State Highway
Department. I will set up a meeting to discuss this as soon
as possible.
39. The drainage report/plan does not show the basin delineation
or concentration points and the off -site flows from the east
are not discussed. Clarify driveway flows, are they being
detained'?
40. The final outfall into a major system needs to be discussed,
including easements for the detention area and the 15" storm
sewer. Clarify all storm sewer easements, existing and
proposed, on the plat.
41. Limited capacity of the on -site storm sewer may require some
detention on site, but not as restrictive as the 2 year
historic. An analysis with the ODP is needed.
42. The final plans must include an erosion control plan to
address erosion control during construction.
43. The north arrow on the Preliminary Plan is going south.
44. Please indicate, in a note on the preliminary plan, what the
existing zoning is.
45. Staff would like to see 2 to 3 more conifer trees along the
drive-thru lane at the north end of the project. Additional
foundation plantings along the east and west building facades
would greatly enhance the overall design and tie the building
to the ground. Additional ornamentals along College Avenue
will be required to enhance the streetscape. Please provide
more detail on the height of the berms with the Final
Landscape Plan.
46. If the bank, or at least the drive to the east of the bank, is
included in the PUD, Staff would like to see more detail about
the landscaping along this drive. Rock mulch would not be
desirable. Staff would expect to see the landscaping in this
area to be the same high quality landscaping as is proposed
along the drive to the east of Burger King. This is another
example of why the bank should become a party to this PUD.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the September 23, 1991 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing, please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due September 4, 1991 by 12:00 noon.
PMT's, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due Sept. 16th.
Final mylars and other documents are due Sept. 19th, by 12:00.
If you have any questions about these comments or would like to
schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221-
6750.
