MEETING DATE: ,lure 3, 1985
IT E M : New Beginnings Treatment Center
APPLICANT: Bob Sutter, Sutter Architects, 420 South Howes, Fort Collins, CC 80521
LAND USE DATA:
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation center and high density residential (16-26
DU/ac) on 10 acres
COMMENTS:
1. This project is to be submitted as a planned unit development.
2. The nearby substation operated by the Western Area Power Administration
has certain clearance requirements which must be maintained at all
times.
3. Please consider fire sprinklering of both the treatment center and the
multi -family residential buildings.
4. This site is immediately north of the proposed expressway running from
I-25 to the northwest. Check with Bonnie Tripoli and Rick Ensdorff for
exact alignment of this right-of-way and the associated frontage street
system. Any development on this site must effectively buffer noise
impacts from the expressway.
5. College and Lemay are the only access points for the expressway in this
area. There will be no access at Redwood.
6. There is a potential delay in approving this project due to the state
highway department being involved in reviewing this development. The
Planning and Zoning Board cannot approve a preliminary plan without the
approval of the state highway department.
7. Storm drainage is a problem in this area. The site must effectively
handle on -site storm water. Also, substantial off -site drainage
improvements may be required.
8. Any curb, gutter, and sidewalk that is damaged must be replaced by the
developer.
9. Please look into the possibility of master planning the larger area
surrounding this site. If this land is to be developed over a period
of time, the Staff and the Planning and Zoning Board would want to see
a coherent, well -planned development using a master plan.
21. Previous plans have shown fencing on the site; if this is still to be
part of the site plan, it must be shown.
22. The submittal documents refer more than once to the landscape/visual
amenity of the power line easement. Is there any specific plan for
this area beyond what is shown on the landscape plan?
23. Concerning Point Chart E - Business Services:
a. No points are allowed for this project being a part of a center.
b. The intent of the mixed use criterion is probably not being met.
You may want to provide additional justification for taking this
credit.
c. The energy conservation techniques being proposed are beyond City
Code in some cases but staff is unwilling to give credit for a job
"very well done." If full credit is desired please submit
additional documentation.
24. There may be further comments from the traffic engineer.
25. The phasing of the landscape plan is questionable to staff and would
probably not be acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Board. Staff
suggests that the plan not be phased and a landscape bond arrangement
be made with the City. At a very minimum, landscaping needs to be
provided which accents and/or shields the building from the south and
southwest. The landscaping provided in the first phase could benefit
from additional foundation plantings along the south elevation and
parts of the north elevation.
Staff would also wish to see better integration of the landscaping with the
master planned area to the north at this time rather than waiting for the
residential phase. The 75 foot easement will have constraints which should
be noted on the landscape plan and addressed at this time.
26. Please add to the building elevations the materials and proposed
colors.
27. Concerning the density chart submitted for the residential area to the
north:
a. Points are allowed for (a) North College Plaza; (d) Aztlan
Community Center; (g) day care center; and (j) contiguity.
b. Bonus points for (m) are variable, but 15% active open area seems
reasonable.
C. For (t) structured parking, 9 points means 75% or more of the
parking in a structure - that is underground, within the building,
or in an elevated structure as an accessory use.
d. For (u), points would be granted at the time of submittal of the
plans after an agreement with the fire authority had been reached.
The residential
aspect of the
plan
required
to score at least 35
bonus
of over
10 dwelling
units per
acre.
scores 65 base points and would be
points in order to propose a density
Revisions addressing the above comments are due in this office on September
4, 1986 at noon. PMTs, colored renderings and 10 copies of the site,
landscape, building elevations and any other applicable documents are due
on September 16, 1985 by noon. If you have any questions concerning the
above comments please contact me.

10. A traffic impact study is required for this project. The study will
help to reveal any major improvements the developer would be
responsible for completing.
11. Security will be an issue for surrounding residents. The security
system will be reviewed by the police department upon formal submittal.
12. Before proceeding with submittal, further conceptual review is required
for conceptual site plans.
13. A neighborhood meeting is required. All landowners within 500 feet and
all residences within 1000 feet shall be notified (see attached map).
A list of affected property owners must be submitted to this office at
least three weeks before a scheduled meeting. The meeting must be held
before formal submittal.

ITEM : i;ew Beginnings Treatment Center - Master Plan and Phase One
APPLICANT: Bob Sutter, Sutter Architects, 420 S. Howes -107, Fort Collins,
CO 80521
LAND USE DATA:
A 10-12 acre site with proposed uses being the New Beginnings Treatment Center
(4 acres), multi -family residential (4 acres), and business/industrial (2 acres).
COMMENTS:
1. Please maintain adequate easements between buildings and adequate
clearance from power lines during construction (Light and Power).
2. Staff recommends fire sprinklering of all buildings. This is a
requirement for residential structures over three stories (Poudre Fire
Authority).
3. Adequate storm drainage is to be provided. Redwood is to be paved and
a turnaround for emergency access is required. Please provide a
sidewalk along Redwood. A Traffic Impact Study is required - please
contact Rick Ensdorff for specifics (Engineering).
4. Please provide motorcycle and bicycle parking (Zoning).
PLANNING COMMENTS
5. Please consider alternatives to perimeter fencing such as berming and
landscaping of surroundings (power sub -station), streets, and the
parking area.
6. If you are planning to submit both preliminary and final plans, full
elevations with materials, colors, etc., and a final landscape plan are
submittal requirements.
7. Please submit a density chart which justifies the proposed 24 DU/AC
density for the multi -family phase. A copy of the base points is
attached to these comments.
8. Staff and ultimately the Planning and Zoning Board will be concerned
about the treatment of the 75 foot power line easement. Alternatives
should be explored for making this area more than a minimally
landscaped strip while also not interfering with the right-of-way.
9. The inclusion of the out -parcel along Conifer would add significantly
to the coherence of the master plan.

RE: REDWOOD VILLAGE COMMONS MASTER PLAN (CASE # 59-85) AND NEW BEGINNINGS
POD - PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAN (CASE #59-85A)
Dear Bob:
City staff has reviewed the above referenced projects and has the following
comments:
Redwood Village Commons Master Plan
1. A 36" water line is to be installed in the power line easement. This
will require a 75 foot temporary construction easement and a 20 foot
permanent utility easement. The estimated date of construction is early
1986. Improvements in the easement area should be delayed until after
construction is completed.
2. An eight inch water line must be installed within the vehicle access
route shown on the plan.
3. The 15 foot easement on all streets should read "utility easement" not
REA easement. If the REA easement is necessary, the 15 foot easement
will also need to be dedicated.
4. The master plan should have the following revisions made:
a. The building and parking area should be removed. Just the land
use, acreage and proposed square footage is needed along with
building height.
b. Phasing beyond the phase one treatment center should be provided on
the plan.

c. The vehicle access shown is to be in the form of public streets.
There may be some question as to the buildable area for the
office/warehouse/showroom/retail area when a public street and the
drainage easement are considered.
5. If you have any questions concerning drainage, please contact Tom
Gathmann or Bonnie Tripoli.
New Beginninys PUD - Preliminary and Final
6. The phase one building exceeds the 150 foot fire access requirement.
If alternative access is not provided, full fire sprinkler protection
is to be provided.
7. Please show water line sizes and fire hydrants.
8. The final plat will need to show dedication of an eight foot minimum
width utility easement adjoining the west right -of -way line of Redwood
Street.
9. The user of the concrete ditch to be removed must sign off on the plans
if different from the current owner.
10. Redwood Street is to be completed adjacent to the project.
11. The sidewalk needs to be designed to City standards.
12. Pedestrian access ramps need to be provided interior to the site and at
intersections.
13. Please provide drainage/grading plan attached to or enclosed with the
drainage report.
14. The design of the off -site flow swale concept has some problems --
please contact Tom Gathmann for specifics.
15. Please indicate building height on the site plan.
16. Curbing is to be provided around landscaped areas.
17. Please further dimension the building envelope.
18. The 25 foot drainage easement adjoining the west right-of-way line of
Redwood Street needs to be designated as a 25 foot drainage and utility
easement.
19. The building use must be reviewed to conform with NFPA life safety code
if classified as a health care facility.
20. On the landscape plan, the standard volleyball court dimension is 40 by
80 feet; minimum basketball court is 50 by 84 feet (outside perimeter).
