LAND USE DATA: Request for 6,933 square foot building for shop, garage, repair and storage located north of the Boxelder Sanitation District sewage treatment pond. The site is approximately one-half mile south of Prospect Road and approximately 1,500 west of the 1-25 frontage road. There would be no additional employees associated with the new building. COMMENTS: The site is located in the R-C, River Conservation zone district. The proposed building would be classified as an accessory use and subject to the building permit/utility plan review process. A public hearing would not be required. 2. The length of building, 106 feet, exceeds the maximum allowable length of 75 feet as specified in the R-C zone. A modification from this standard will not be required as the intent of the standard is to preserve views of the Poudre River from public spaces. Since there are no public views that will be blocked by the building, and the building is set well back from the nearest public street (I-25 frontage road), this particular standard is considered to be not applicable. 3. Since the building is located within city limits, it must be served by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department. The nearest existing electrical facilities are located approximately one mile north or one mile west. Electrical service would have to be extended to the building and placed within a six foot wide easemcnt. It may be possible to come down the frontage road within existing right-of-way where an easement may not necessarily be required. Trenching elcctrical service will cost approximately $15 - $20 per linear foot. 4. Since electrical service was formally provided by R.E.A., the "Service Rights FCC" will apply. This fee is to compensate R.E.A. for loss of territory clue to annexation. The City has two years to serve the property. A surcharge of _ °'X, ol" the electric hill is charged to the customer which gets passed to R.E.A. 101' a period of ten years. if electrical scrvicc was formally provided by Public Service Company, then the Service Rights Fee does not apply. In addition to the surcharge, normal Light and Power site and development charges will also apply. For further information regarding electrical service and fees, please contact Doug Martine, 221-6700. 5. The site is located in the 100-year floodplain of the Poudre River. The construction of the new building, therefore, must comply with the new requirements regarding development in the Poudre River floodplain. For example, there can be no storage of hazardous materials such as gasoline in drums that exceed normal household quantities. 6. If the site has been elevated and removed from the floodplain, then it will be necessary to apply to F.E.M.A. for a Letter of Map Revision. Without such Letter, the City must enforce its floodplain regulations. These include applying for a F000dplain Use Permit, elevating two feet above the 100-year base flood elevation or flood -proofing the building. In addition, there must be dry -land vehicle access to the building that is above the 100-year base flood elevation. Trash dumpsters must be tied down and there can be no storage of floatable materials such as lumber, pallets, tires, etc. Finally, after construction, the finished floor elevation must be certified to the City. For further information regarding development in the Poudre River floodplain, please contact Marsha Hi 1 mes, 221-6681. 7. Stormwater detention will not be required. However, treatment of stormwater runoff will be required before release from the site. A standard Drainage Report, Grading and Drainage Plan and Erosion Control Plan will be required. For further information regarding stormwater treatment issues, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6081. 8. There is a general development standard that new development shall maintain a minimum 300 foot setback from the Poudre River as measured from the top of the bank. It may be helpful to illustrate this setback on the plans. 9. Please be prepared to address whether or not there are any impacts on existing wetlands associated with the construction of the building. If there are any wetlands in the vicinity that are over one-third acre in size, then there must be a 50 foot setback. Please note that there are two criteria for determining the presence of wetlands.
