MEETING DATE: November 18, 2002 APPLICANT: Mrs. Lisa Lucero, McDonald's Corporation, 5251 D.T.C. Parkway, Suite 30, Englewood, CO. 80111. LAND USE DATA: Request to demolish the existing restaurant and rebuild a new restaurant featuring a drive-thru lane with dual entrances and dual menu boards. The new restaurant would be shifted to the south and feature an outdoor patio located between the street and building. COMMENTS: The site was originally developed and approved as a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) under the Land Development Guidance System. In March of 1997, a new zoning code was adopted referred to as the Land Use Code. The new zone is C-C, Community Commercial which does not allow drive -through restaurants. The demolition and rebuild would be permitted, however, as a Minor Amendment only so long as the new development plan complies with the Land Use Code, at least to the extent of its original compliance (so as to preclude any greater deviation from the standards of the Land Use Code). There are no minimum parking requirements but maximum limitations so no additional parking can be added over what is currently provided. 2. The build -to line standard requires that the building along W. Elizabeth be setback between ten and 25 feet from property line. This means the building cannot be shifted any further back from West Elizabeth than the current location as this would be a greater deviation from the standard. There must be a direct connecting walkway linking the public walk on to the building entrance without crossing a parking lot drive. The parking lot must be landscaped, especially along the property lines. If any Modifications of Standards are needed, then the request must be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board either as a stand-alone Modification or in conjunction with the Project Development Plan (P.D.P). Modifications cannot be processed as part of a Minor Amendment. Two menu boards are not allowed. The only way a second menu board would be pemutted would be if the board is not visible from a public street or property line. If this cannot be accomplished, then the second board is permitted only by a variance granted COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES :21 N. College Ave. P.O.

Elizabeth Street Dedication. 6 Draft Deed of Dedication for Easement for Water Service Meter. 7 Three (3) sets of the "redline" drawings provided by the various review groups on our last submittal. In response the various comments, suggestions, and recommendations provided by Planning and Zoning, Transportation Planning, Water and Wastewater, Stormwater, and Engineering, the following is offered: PLANNING & ZONING (Ted Shepard); 1 A note was added to the Architectural Elevations (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawings AE-1 & AE-2, "Architectural Elevations") stating: "Signage shown on these drawings is shown for graphic representation only. All proposed signage is subject to separate review and approval by the City of Fort Collins and may change in size and/or appearance per the requirements of the necessary signage permit." 2 The McDonald's logo was removed from the "Gateway" sign (reference: Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CD-4, "Construction Details"). 3 The proposed six-foot wood fence along the west property line is now shown on the landscape plan and the multiple rows of planned shrubs were adjusted accordingly (reference: Minor Amendment Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing L-1, "Landscape Plan"). 4 One (1) two-inch caliper deciduous shade tree (an Imperial Honeylocust) was added along the west property line (reference: Minor Amendment Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing L-1, "Landscape Plan"). 5 The Key -Note legend regarding the Trash Enclosure was modified to note that the enclosure materials are "cultured stone and E.I.F.S. to match main building" (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"). 6 The "ghosted existing parking lot" (items that will be "removed" with this minor amendment) was eliminated from the plans for clarity (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). 7 The lighting consultant has reviewed the Site Lighting analysis and determined that they used a "higher wattage" lamp in their analysis than what is proposed. The analysis was revised to reflect the fixtures proposed. It is the intent that all of the existing site lighting fixtures, unless specifically noted to remain, will be removed and replaced with those shown on the Site Lighting Plan (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-2, "Lighting Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-4, "Lighting Plan"). 8 Reference response to paragraph #6, above. 9 No response required. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING (Thomas Reiff): 1 The construction within the W. Elizabeth Street right-of-way is limited to the removal of the existing sidewalk, construction of the new detached sidewalk (with handicap accessible ramps at its intersection with the driveways) and the western driveway curb on the east (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"), 2 A paved "temporary connection to the existing sidewalk" is shown on the western edge of the property (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"). 3 The key note legend #3 was revised to note: "Caution Watch for Bikes and Pedestrians" (reference: Minor Amendment Plaris, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"), Mr. Ted Shepard — Fort Collins Community Planning (Current) Hl���LLA�� Submittal of Final Ping Utility. and Engr Drawings — _ July 24, 2003 Page 3 The proposed benches were relocated to be on top of the 10-foot concrete entry work (on the east side), resulting in a total entry walk clear space of approximately eight -feet (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1,'"Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"). WATER AND WASTEWATER (Jeff Hill): 1 The underground utility information shown on the Existing Conditions Map regarding an incorrectly labeled sanitary sewer line (actually a storm line) was corrected (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plan, and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map"). 2 The existing grease trap on the west side of the existing building within the existing drive-thru lane will be removed (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-3, "Utility Plan"). 3 Comment was deleted from "Project Comment Sheet". 4 The water service was revised to remain perpendicular to the water main, and to provide the required minimum 10-foot separation from the sanitary sewer service line (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-3, "Utility Plan"). 5 The "non-standard" details for water and sewer were eliminated from the plan sets and replaced with City Standard details (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CD-2, "Construction Details" and Drawing CSD-1, "City Standard Construction Details"). 6 The proposed water service and sanitary sewer service lines are shown on the landscape plan and the "utility separation note' was revised to state: "maintain a 10-foot separation between trees and water/sewer lines and a 4-foot separation between shrubs and water/sewer lines" (reference: Minor Amendment Plans and Engineering Conistruction Plans, Drawing L-3, "Landscape Plan"). 7 The sanitary sewer service ceanouts are all labeled as "Traffic Rated Cleanouts (TRCO)" and a City Standard Traffic Rated Cleanout detail (as provided) was included (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-3, "Utility Plan" and Drawing CSD-1, "City Standard Construction Details"). 8 The Construction Specifications regarding "Section 02600 Piped Utilities" was eliminated and a note stating: "Refer to the City of Fort Collins Utilities Construction Specifications for Construction Requirements" as added (reference: Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CS-2, "Construction Specifications"). 9 A Draft "Deed of Dedication for Easement" is attached for review. Once the location of the water service and meter pit is approved by Fort Collins Utilities, the easement exhibit will be drafted by the project surveyor (ESC) and provided for review. 10 The Utility Legend and line types used were modified to coincide. The note regarding the termination of the existing water service connection was revised to state: "Existing water service to be abandoned...." The Utility Notes were expanded to include information regarding the minimum/maximum bury depth of water service lines and extension of the water service into the building's mechanical room (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans Drawing C-3, "Utility Plan"). STORMWATER (B. Haydl): 1 The existing storm manholes (that we previously incorrectly labeled as sanitary sewer manholes) are properly called out and the key for storm lines in the legend matches the line -type used on the plans (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plan, and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map'). 2 The existing Canal Importation Floodplain, as delineated on the City of Fort Collins G.I.S. system (reference: attached 8%2'xl1" printout) shown on the plans (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). There is minimal work occurring within this Floodplain, primarily concerning the installation of the new detached sidewalk along W. Elizabeth Street. 3 The "playground equipment" (which is actually the outdoor picnic table seating area) was removed from the Grading Plans (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-2, "Grading Plan"). Mr. Ted Shepard — Fort Collins Community Planning (Current) Submittal of Final Ping, Utility, and Engr Drawings July 24, 2003 Page 4 HUITr-AUARS 4 As shown on the Grading Plan, there is actually a reduction in the amount of impervious area and an increase in the amount of landscape area that will be realized by this minor amendment (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-2, "Grading Plan"). Accordingly, no additional stormwater mitigation is required. 5 This project is considered a minor amendment, not a redevelopment. Water quality will be improved since, as noted previously, there is a reduction in the amount of impervious area and an increase in the amount of landscape area that will be realized during this minor amendment. 6 City of Fort Collins Standard Details are provided (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CSD-1, "City Standard Construction Details"). ENGINEERING (Katie Moore): 1 Nine -feet of Right -of -Way dedication is planned for the W. Elizabeth Street Frontage, providing 49-feet of total half -section right-of-way from the centerline of W. Elizabeth Street (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). A Draft "Deed of Dedication for Right -of -Way" is attached for format review. Once the formatting of this Draft is found acceptable, we will have the project surveyor (ESC) prepare the necessary deed exhibits and submit for review and approval. 2 We have note heard from Ms. Moore regarding her research with the various utilities organization regarding the need (or not, as we've discussed) for the 15-foot utility easement along W. Elizabeth Street. Currently, no easement is proposed in this area. 3 The Reception Number for Parcel 1 (as shown on Drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map') was always provided in the text of the description; however, we have moved the note to beginning of the legal description of ease of review (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map"). 4 Two (2) City of Fort Collins Benchmarks (as researched by the project surveyor) are provided (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). 5 The current month and year are provided below the legal description on the cover sheet. The site and building data, the architect / lighting consultant / landscape designer's information was removed from the cover sheet. The PE statement and indemnification statement was added to the cover sheet (reference: Utility Construction Plans, Drawing U-TO1, "Cover Sheet"). 6 The Site Plan, Landscaping Plan, Construction Specifications, and several of the Construction Detail Sheets were eliminated from the Utility Construction Plans. 7 The notes referring to the University Shopping Center were eliminated (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map") per our discussion with the project surveyor (ESC). These notes were an inadvertent carryover from the McDonald's project located at 2401 S. College Avenue. We apologize for the confusion. 8 The existing right-of-way width for W. Elizabeth Street was modified to reflect 80-feet (reference: Minor Amendment Pla)s, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). 9 The "new" right-of-way (which will be dedicated as part of this project, as noted previously), is clearly shown on all plan sheets (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Utility Construction Plans, and Engineering Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). 10 As requested by PLANNING AND ZONING, existing condition items that will be removed with this minor amendment are no longer shown on the plans. This greatly increases the readability (and scanability) of the plans. 11 The copyright wording that states: "These plans and specifications are the property of McDonald's..." was -(c i eliminated from all plans. 12 The width of the proposed detached sidewalk along W. Elizabeth Street is shown (reference: Minor Amendment L t' Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" andr+gineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1, "Site Plan"). 13 The approximate limits of the street (W. Elizabeth Street) cut that are required for the installation of the new utility service laterals is shown and a note stating: "Limits shown are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs are to be in accordance with City Street Mr. Ted Shepard — Fort Collins Community Planning (Current) H��I �)��Ai� Submittal of Final Ping, Utility, and Engr Drawings July 24, 2003 Page 5 Repair Standards" (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-3, "Utility Plan"). 14 The western radius of the eastern driveway connection to W. Elizabeth Street will be 15-feet (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan", -and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing C-1,_!ah Plan"). This is a temporary radius that will be eliminated when W. Elizabeth Street is widened (reference: t TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Comment Memo). 1�5 A paved "temporary connection to the existing sidewalk" is shown on the western edge of the property (reference: Minor Amendment Plans, Drawing SP-1, "Site Plan" and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing �.� C-1, "Site Plan"), 16 The City Standard Signature Block (approximately 3%'x4%2') is provided near the lower right corner of all Utility Construction Plans (reference: Utility Construction Plans, all impacted drawings). 17 City of Fort Collins Standard Details are provided (reference: Utility Construction Plans and Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CSD-1, "City Standard Construction Details"). 18 The proposed water service and sanitary sewer service lines are shown on the landscape plan (reference: ,Minor Amendment Plans and Engineering Construction Plans Drawing L-3, "Landscape Plan"); however, as % requested, the Landscape Plan was eliminated from the Utility Construction Plans. 19 The Drawing List provided on the Cover Sheet was moved to the right hand side of the sheet (reference: Unlit Construction Plans Drawing U-TO1, "Cover Sheet"). The note "General notes shall be shown on this sheet. The local entity required typical general notes are as follows:" was eliminated (reference: Utility Construction �IanS Drawing U-T01, "Cover Sheet"). As you know, this project was recently presented to the Fort Collins Zoning Board of Appeals regarding the quantity and size of the proposed menu boards (two boards versus the one allowed; 43 sf per sign versus the 38 sf allowed). Although the ZBA did vote (unanimously) to approve the use of two menu boards, they did not (by a vote of 3:2) allow an increase in the sign area. Mr. Wayne Bishop (Project Manager, McDonald's), working with McDonald's marketing group, was internally authorized (by McDonald's) to proceed with a three -panel menu board (instead of the corporate standard four -panel menu board), which reduces the square -footage per sign to an amount less than the maximum allowed (reference: Engineering Construction Plans, Drawing CD-5, "Construction Details"). We have discussed this, as you know, with Mr. Peter Barnes (Zoning Administrator, Fort Collins.ZONING). No further action (or appeals) are being sought regarding this issue. We trust these revised plans and the "explanation of modifications made" provided above are acceptable, and look forward to receiving your approval to proceed with the construction of this minor amendment soon. As you know, we have already submitted the Building Permit Application (and fee) to the Mr. Rick Lee (Commercial Plans Reviewer, Ft. Collins.BLDG DPT) for his review as well as the Engineering Construction Drawings to Poudre Valley Fire Department for their review. As you know, McDonald's is anxious to proceed with this minor amendment while the Colorado State University students are on their summer holiday, allowing them to finish construction and reopen for business close to the beginning of the University's fall term. Any assistance you can provide in helping to expedite this approval would be rg eaq appreciated. Thanks! Myron A. DMdy"Bfy6-P.E.

One (1) copy of ABUTTING OWNER INFORMATION. • One (1) set of CITY ENGINEERING "REDLINE" PLAN COMMENTS. • One (1) set of CITY WATER UTILITY "REDLINE" PLAN COMMENTS. The following is offered in response to the comments, suggestions, and recommendations presented in your July 28, 2003 "Minor Amendment Comment Sheet": The completed (signed, notarized, and certified by McDonald's Corporation) DEED OF DEDICATION FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY documents are enclosed dedicating the requisite nine -feet of right-of-way along W. Elizabeth Street. With this dedication, a minimum of 49-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Elizabeth Street is provided along this frontage. The area of dedication is clearly shown and labeled on the utility plans. It does not appear the you have received any additional information from your utilities group regarding the need for an additional 15-foot utility easement along the W. Elizabeth Street frontage. Accordingly, this easement is not provided. Per our discussions with the Mr. Dennis Striegal (Survey Manager, Engineering Services Corporation), it appears from review of the Title Commitment that the parking and utility easement along this site's eastern boundary was prepared during the platting of this lot from within the Town Square. As such, the reception Ms. Katie Moore, City of Fort Collins. ENGR Submittal of Utility CDs for FINAL REVIEW August 21, 2003 Page 2 number, as noted, is the same as the "Parcel 1" reception number noted in the legal description provided on drawing ECM-1, "Existing Conditions Map'. • A signature line for the owner of the property to the north (Mr. Oliver McBryan) is provided since minor changes within the existing "utility, drainage, and access easement" are planned. Further, as you know, we have coordinated with Mr. McBryan to provide him with drawings of this area. We will coordinate again with Mr. McBryan once we are authorized (by you) to prepare the requisite mylar reproducibles of enclosed drawings to obtain his "acknowledgment" sign -off. • The "PE Statement", as detailed in the appendices of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards is included on the Cover Sheet. • The new right-of-way is clearly shown, labeled, and dimensioned on the Utility Plans. • We apologize for the previous printing of the plans that tended to "blend" the various "pen weights" used. We trust the enclosed documents distinguish between proposed and existing elements in a clearer fashion. • The existing sidewalk and driveway radius within the dedicated right-of-way, which will be removed as part of this redevelopment, are shown and labeled as "to be removed." • The width of the proposed detached sidewalk is labeled on the Utility Plans. • The proposed temporary driveway radius (for the eastern driveway) will be 15-feet. It is our understanding from Transportation Engineering that this curbline may be removed during the City's W. Elizabeth Street reconstruction project. The radius is labeled on the Utility Plans. • Although currently shown on the Site Plan, the additional concrete between the new and existing sidewalks on the west edge of the property (to provide a connection between the two) is now also shown on the Utility Plans. • The information shown on the Plat for The Lofts at Campus West was utilized to update the "background" easement, etc.. information for the area north of the project site. • The "detached sidewalk and vertical curb & gutter' detail (Larimer County Drawing 1602) was included on Drawing CSD-1, "City Standard Construction Details". The former "attached sidewalk" detail was eliminated. • Detail #4, "General Notes" on drawing CD-1, "Construction Details" was eliminated. • A note was added to Drawing CD-3 & CD-6, "Construction Details" that states: "The details provided on this sheet are for on -site use only and are not to be used within the R.O.W. of West Elizabeth Street.

(It may help if the menu board is screened to the maximum extent feasible.) For further information regarding the variance procedure, please contact Peter Barnes, 221-6760. 4. The source for electrical power is an existing underground oval vault. If this vault is relocated, then it would be at the developer's expense. The vault must be protected during construction. If the existing is transformer is to be relocated, then this too will be at the developer's expense. Be sure that the transformer is within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change out. If the existing panel size is insufficient, then the net incremental increase is subject to all normal development charges. A Commercial One ("C-1") Form must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor. Please refer to the hand-out, available from Light and Power, describing the development fees and charges. Street trees in the parkway strip must be kept 40 feet from streetlights. Ornamental trees must be kept 15 feet from streetlights. For further information, please contact Bruce Vogel, 221-6700. 5. This site is in the Spring Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $2,175/acre which would be applicable if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. The drainage and erosion control report will need to address the imperviousness and drainage patterns. They need to be maintained unless there is a problem that needs to be corrected. The report and grading plan must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. 6. Redevelopment is required to treat the runoff. Extended detention is the recommended method. Please contact -Kevin McBride at 224-6023 for other possible methods. 7. The site is on Stormwater inventory map #5I. A copy of the map can be obtained from the Utilities office at 700 Wood Street. No onsite water quantity detention is required as long as there is no increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. Elizabeth Street is a floodplain and moving the building towards the street could be problematic. The building needs to be 18 inches above the 100-year floodplain elevation. Floodplain encroachment cannot cause a rise in water surface elevation. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. 8. Parking lot detention is limited to a maximum of 12 inches of depth. Water quality extended detention is required to treat the runoff. This detention must be in a pervious area, not the parking lot.

The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. The address must be clearly visible from West Elizabeth Street. A fire protection system is required for the hood and duct system. All portions of the exterior of the building must be within 150 feet of West Elizabeth Street. If this cannot be accomplished, then an automatic fire extinguishing system must be installed. If fire lanes are provided, then they must be dedicated as public emergency access easements. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221- 6570. 11. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, to determine whether or not the Street Oversizing Fee and the Latimer County Road Fee will apply. Since these fees are based on building square footage, the fee would only apply to the net increase over existing 12. A Transportation Impact Study will be required which will address all modes. Check with Eric Bracke, 221-6630, to determine the scope of the study, or if the study is even required. 13. The right-of-way for Elizabeth Street is 98 feet. McDonald's is responsible for dedicating a sufficient amount of land so that there is 49 feet of half -width as measured from the centerline of the street to the property line. In addition, a 15-foot wide utility easement is required beyond property line. Please be cautioned that any construction activity off -site will require an easement from the property owner. 14. Public improvements shall comply with Latimer County Urban Area Street Standards. One of these requirements is that the first parking stall must be setback from Elizabeth Street by 100 feet as measured from face of curb. This engineering standard may be varied in accordance with the administrative procedures. As such, this type of variance is processed at the Staff level and does not go to the Zoning Board of Appeals or the Planning and Zoning Board. 15. West Elizabeth is scheduled for design and construction of a number of improvements to address pedestrian safety and convenience. This will include improvements to the sidewalks, landscape and amenities (such as street furniture). The consulting firms will be B.H.A. Design and Sear Brown which will start design work in a few weeks. Staff will suggest that the firms prioritize the area along McDonald's to accommodate the schedule. Public improvements are expected to be constructed in 2004. The City's project manager is Tom Reiff, 416-2040. 16. Close coordination will be required among the City, the consulting firms and McDonald's. At this time, the City is undecided as to whether the walk will be attached or detached. The driveway radius has yet to be determined. Work in the public right-of- way should be designed to the ultimate so re -work is not required. Public improvements that are installed ahead of the City's schedule will be eligible for reimbursement. Or, the value of the work may be paid into an escrow. These issues will need to be discussed and then codified in the Development Agreement. lc3 17. Utility Plans will be needed at the time of submittal. A Development Agreement will be required prior to recording final documents. A Development Construction Permit will be required prior to beginning site work. For further information, please contact Katy Moore, 221-6605. 18. Be sure to provide bike parking near the customer entrance. 19. There are existing trees on the site. Please contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester, 221- 6351, to determine the value of these trees. Some trees may be worth preserving. For those trees with value that are removed for construction, there shall be mitigation based on the findings of the City Forester in accordance with Section 3.2.1(F) of the Land Use Code. For those trees that are to be preserved, there will need to be protective barriers during construction and appropriate buffer for after construction. In addition, tree protection notes must be placed on the Landscape Plan and Utility Plans. 20. The construction phase will require a Fugitive Dust Permit from the Latimer County Health Department if the property is under construction for over a certain period . Also, trash enclosures should be sized to accommodate various containers for recycling. A single trash hauler should be used. An Ecological Characterization Study will not be needed. For further information on natural resource issues, please contact Doug Moore, at 221-6750. 21. Be sure to apply for a Demolition Permit prior to removal of the existing structure. 22. For an estimate of the Capital Improvement Expansion Fee, payable at the time of building permit issuance, please contact the Building Inspection Division, 221-6760. This fee is adjusted annually. 23. The architectural character of the building must conform to the standards in Section 3.5.1 and 3.5.3 of the Land Use Code. We look forward to working with McDonald's on the design and appearance of the new structure. ,� y aMinor Amendment 1NffwiW" COMMENT SHEET City of Fort Collins Current Planning DATE: 3.11.03 DEPT: ENGINEERING PROJECT: McDonald's Restaurant at Town Square, 1250 West Elizabeth Street — Minor Amendment PLANNER: Ted Shepard ENGINEER: Katie Moore All comments must be received by: March 19, 2003 ❑ No Problems 0 Problems or Concerns (see below or attached) Comments: According to the requirements of Zoning, this property needs to replat.

As such, a meeting is scheduled with the utility providers to discuss the necessity of the proposed easement. • Separate Utility/Construction Drawings are included as part of this submittal. t a�S --moo A 5-foot Type R Catch basin has been added to the drive thru lane exit area to capture the J storm water runoff from the drive thru isle before it crosses the sidewalk. o Two City of Fort Collins Benchmarks are provided on the revised drawings. o According to Mr. Ted Shepard, the property to the north of this project is shown correctly. o The proposed 90 degree parking stalls have been modified to show the correct length per the City of Fort Collins Standards. o The standard City of Fort Collins Signature Block has been added to the appropriate sheets. o Standard construction details are part of the Utility/Construction Plans. o Standard City of Fort Collins pedestrian ramps will be used as required.
