Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. ours Tf uly, I To )PI es Cityner Page 7 Please correct all plan sets to show directional access ramps at the driveway / Mason Street intersections as per the LCUASS. Number: 21 Created: 3/12/2003 Correct the discrepancies between plan sets. For example, the walkway connecting to the south of the building from Mason St. should be identified on the landscape and site plan as a raised crosswalk. This would be consistent with the utility plans and the modification approval. Will ramps across the drive aisles be required with the raised walks or will they be flush with the walkway? Other discrepancies include the location of the parking lot median, access ramps, and building envelope / plaza area. Number: 22 Created: 3/12/2003 The proposed walkway connecting to the Mason Corridor showed 0.00 on the photometric plan. This will need to be increased for pedestrian visibility and safety, and can be accomplished using wall mounted lighting fixtures on the side of the north elevation. Number: 23 Created: 3/12/2003 Please label all necessary access ramps on all plan sets, including the site and landscaping plans. Number: 24 Created: 3/12/2003 Mason Street is classified as a 2-Lane Arterial on the Master Street Plan and requires a total right of way (ROW) of 84 feet. Additional research is necessary to determine if the appropriate amount of ROW has already been dedicated. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General Number: 9 Created: 3/3/2003 Provide site and landscape plans for lots 1 & 2 with the next submittal. Number: 10 Created: 3/3/2003 Correct all sheets of the utility plans to reflect the same information. Number: 12 Created: 3/3/2003 Coordinate the location of the fire line with the mechanical engineer to extend fire line into mechanical room. Include the standard general note to extend the fire line and domestic water line into the a mechanical room where a backflow device shall be installed. Number: 16 Created: 3/3/2003 Provide a profile of all proposed storm sewers. Show all water and sewer lines in profile view and maintain the require separation distances. See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Utility Plan Number: 29 Created: 3/13/2003 Clarify on the utility plans what is existing and proposed. Number: 30 Created: 3/13/2003 Will 3/4" water service be adequate for this many building tenants? Department: Zoning Topic: ZONING Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols Number: 3 Created: 2/19/2003 Would like to see the two coneecting walkways be of an enhanced concrete or brick - something more permanent than striping. Number: 4 Created: 2/19/2003 Remove topo lines from final site and landscape plans Number: 5 Created: 2/19/2003 Show and label building envelope Page 6 Number: 52 See redlines. Department: Light & Power Created: 3/14/2003 Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Utility Plan Number: 1 Created: 2/18/2003 The utility plan doesn't match the site plan. The site plan shows (for example) islands in the parking area west of the building. The utility plan doesn't show these islands. Number: 2 Created: 2/18/2003 Developer will need to coordinate a location for a pad type electric transformer with Light & Power Engineering. Department: Police Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom Topic: General Number: 13 Created: 3/3/2003 Lighting: additonal lighting needed at north and south end of building - need minimum of 0.5fc. Number: 14 Created: 3/3/2003 Lighting: need additional lighting along west face of building - need at least 0.7 fc out 25 feet from building. Number: 15 Created: 3/3/2003 Landscape plan: reduce height of materials used at northwest and southwest corners of building. Proposed materials present potential for both pedestrian and vehicular sight limitation problems. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage Number: 28 Created: 3/13/2003 The variance request to exclude water quality was denied by the Utilities departmment. Due to this project being a new PDP submittal, the project should comply with current standards. Number: 31 Created: 3/14/2003 Drainage easements are required for both"detention ponds and both storm sewers. An off -site drainage easement is required for the storm sewer that is on the property to the south, as well as a temporary construction easement. Number: 32 Created: 3/14/2003 The sidewalk chase that is taking flows off of Mason Street onto the site needs to be a concrete culvert, Detail D- 12. Number: 33 Created: 3/14/2003 Please provide all contours on the grading plan. Contour 37 and 38 are missing. Also, please clarify proposed and existing grades. Plan has conflicts with proposed contours and spot elevations. Number: 35 Created: 3/14/2003 At next submittal, the new PDP plan set needs to include storm sewer plan and profiles, and all details pertinent to this site. Topic: SedimenVErosion Control Number: 34 Created: 3/14/2003 1. It would appear from some of the notes and comments on the plan that this construction is to be done in phases. Please submit a sediment/erosion control plan where each phase is independent of the other (stand alone). This comment was made due to the confusion of the plan set. A new utility plan set for the PDP should clarify this. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff Topic: Transportation Number: 20 Created: 3/12/2003 Page 5 Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 37 Created: 3/14/2003 Please see chapter 19, details 19-7 and 19-6 for parking stall and parking setback requirements. Number: 38 Created: 3/14/2003 Please provide directional ramps at all intersections. Number: 39 Created: 3/14/2003 Mason Street is designated as a 2-lane arterial. Please design your frontage in accordance with detail 7-3F. Further research is needed to determine whether or not additional ROW is required. Number: 40 Created: 3/14/2003 Coordinate the various plan sets so that they present the same information. Number: 41 Created: 3/14/2003 Please contact Eric Bracke to determine whether or not a Traffic Study is required. Number: 42 Provide a drainage and soils report. Created: 3/14/2003 Number: 46 Created: 3/14/2003 Provide off -site drainage and temporary construction easements for all work occurring outside the project boundary. Number: 47 Created: 3/14/2003 Provide all necessary drainage and utility easements by plat or separate document. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 48 Created: 3/14/2003 Remove the contours. Number: 49 Created: 3/14/2003 Show all existing and proposed utility and drainage easements. Number: 50 Created: 3/14/2003 Correct all overlapping labeling. This sheet is very hard to read. Topic: Site Number: 43 Created: 3/14/2003 See redlines regarding notes 1 and 3. Number: 44 Created: 3/14/2003 Ghost existing features. Number: 45 Created: 3/14/2003 Remove contours. Topic: Utility Plan Number: 36 Created: 3/14/2003 The utility plans that were submitted are expired and must be resubmitted to current standards (October 1, 2002 LCUASS). You may revise the older set and bubble out everything that's changed but it would much easier, faster, and cleaner to resubmit a new plan set under another name that's different than the expired set. Please see chapter 3 and Appendix E for submittal and design requirements. Please complete and submit Appendix E4 with the next submittal. Quite a lot of information was left off this submittal. Expect more comments in the next round if not designed in accordance with the current street standards. Number: 51 Created: 3/14/2003 Update all the old details to the new details. Provide details 701, 707, 708, 710, 1601, 1602, 1606, and the Greeley detail for the truncated domes now required for all access ramps. See attached. Page 4 Number: 27 Created: 3/12/2003 As we have been conducting public outreach for the Mason Transportation Corridor project, one bit of feedback we have heard from business owners along this streach of the corridor is that they would like a way to get pedestrians (customers and employees) quickly and conveniently to the transit stations. The future planned transit stations at Troutman and Horsetooth are both considered major off -site pedestrian facilities, and the bicycle/pedestrian underpass planned at Troutman is considered a major off -site bicycle facility. To that end, the application of Section 3.2.2(C)(6) of the LUC requires that the on -site pedestrian and bicycle circulation system must be designed to provide, or allow for, direct connections to major pedestrian and bicycle destinations and to existing or planned off -site pedestrian and bicycle facilities. This can be accomplished by designing the service drive on the west of the site in a way that shares the space with pedestrians. The design of this shared area needs to use materials that are different and enhanced from other vehicular areas on the site. The design of this shared area must comply with standards for pedestrian crossings of vehicular areas found in Section 3.2.2(C) of the LUC where it states the following: °Where it is necessary for the primary pedestrian access to cross drive aisles or internal roadways, the pedestrian crossing shall emphasize and place priority on pedestrian access and safety. The material and layout of the pedestrian access shall be continuous as it crosses the driveway, with a break in continuity of the driveway paving and not in the pedestrian access way. The pedestrian crossings must be well -marked using pavement treatments, signs, striping, signals, lighting, traffic calming techniques, median refuge areas and landscaping." As an alternative to this, an exclusive 6 foot wide sidewalk could be located outside of, but next to on the west of the service drive. In this option, the walkway must be separated from the property line by a 5 foot wide landscape area, and shall be grade separated from the service drive by a curb. Topic: Site Number: 56 Created: 3/14/2003 The parking spaces shown on the west side of the building do not have an overhang area shown, so they need to be at least 19 feet deep [LUC 3.2.2(L)]. Number: 57 Created: 3/14/2003 From east to west on the site, something's got to give. Every foot of this dimension is programmed with active space, yet minimum widths of sidewalks, parkways, vehicular area setback, foundation planting beds, etc. are not adequately provided. The building could be designed more shallow (from front to back), or you could eliminate one of the rows of parking, or reconfigure the parking lot to eliminate one of the drives. As drawn, there's not enough space to fit in all of the programmed elements. See attached redline trace paper taped to the redlined site plan. Number: 63 Created: 3/17/2003 The walkways through the parking lot must be grade separated from the parking lot with a paved surface not less than 6 feet in width [3.2.2(C)(5)(a)]. The material and layout of the walkways through the parking lot must be continuous as they cross the driveway, with a break in continuity of the driveway paving and not in the pedestrian access way [3.2.2(C)(5)(b)]. Revise the drawings to reflect these requirements. Number: 64 Created: 3/17/2003 The vehicular use area of the parking lot must be set back a minimum of 15 feet from the Mason Street right-of- way [3.2.2(J)]. Revise the drawings to reflect this requirement. Number: 65 Created: 3/17/2003 Clearly label and dimension the width of the parking stalls. They are required to be 9 feet wide [3.2.2(L)(1)]. Topic: Transportation Number: 55 Created: 3/14/2003 Provide a 10 foot wide parkway and a 6 foot wide sidewalk along Mason Street [LUC 3.6.1(13)]. Either dedicate enough additional right of way in order for this to occur within the right-of-way, or dedicate a pedestrian access easement in the sidewalk location. Topic: Utility Plan Number: 58 Created: 3/14/2003 After further review, it has been discovered that the original utility plan approved for lots 3 and 4 at the time that the hotel was developed have expired [LUC 2.2.11(13)(3)]. New utility plans must be submitted that satisfy the applicable standards currently in place. Page 3 Please find attached the various codes that the Fort Collins Building Department will enforce. From the brief information provided the overhead doors might cause some occupancy separation problems as the tenant spaces become filled. The introduction of a vehicle into the building will require at least an S-3 occupancy. The noted future man -doors are accurate since an overhead door is not an approved means of egress. Mike Spuagin - Post Office If not replatting, submit a copy of the existing approved plat for review. Laurie D'Audney - Water Conservation Ok. Len Hilderbrand - Public Service (XCEL Energy) (a) PSCO HAS AN EXISTING 2" GAS MAIN LOCATED IN THE EXISTING 13' UTILITY EASEMENT. (b) CONTACT FOR NEW SERVICE IS JIM DEWILDE 970 225-7844. Eric Bracke - City Traffic Operations No Traffic Issues. Beth Sowder - Streets Ok. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 53 Created: 3/14/2003 The vehicular area on the west side of the building must be setback from the west property line by at least 5 feet [LUC 3.2.2(J)]. Number: 54 Created: 3/14/2003 The north, west, and south building walls are required to have planting beds at least 5 feet wide along at least 50 percent of these walls [LUC 3.2.1(E)(2)(d)]. Number: 60 Created: 3/17/2003 It appears that less than the required amount of parking lot interior landscaping is being proposed. Refer to the purple line sketched onto the redlined landscape plan from Current Planning. This line, represents the vehicular area of which 6 percent must be landscaped area. Include a chart on the landscape plan that clarifies the square footage of this vehicular area, and also clarifies how much of that area, in square footage, is devoted to landscaped areas. It is required to be at least 6 percent, and must be communicated on the landscape plan as such [3.2.1(E)(5)]. Number: 61 Created: 3/17/2003 Street trees in the parkway strip along Mason Street are required to be provided at a ratio of one tree per 25 lineal feet where the street abuts the parking lot (the whole lot's frontage). Provide more trees in order to satisfy this standard [3.2.1(E)(4)]. Number: 62 Created: 3/17/2003 Although the Mason Transportation Corridor is adjacent to the site, the nearest station location is at Troutman. Directly to the west of the site will be the designated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane, which will be contained entirely within the railroad right-of-way, but will look and act much like a small street exclusively for busses. The required 5 foot wide landscape strip along the west side of the vehicular area shall have canopy shade trees placed within that landscaped area spaced at intervals of one tree per 40 lineal feet along the west property line [3.2.1(4)(a) & 3.2.1(H)]. Topic: Mason Transportation Corridor Number: 26 Created: 3/12/2003 Please see the attached plan detail and cross section of our latest progress on the design of the Mason Transportation Corridor. Please note that the portion of the corridor adjacent to this site is the Bus Rapit Transit (BRT) lanes. These BRT lanes will be located within the railroad right-of-way, within 50 feet of the centerline of the tracks. The two closest transit stations for the BRT will be at Troutman and Horsetooth. The regional bicycle/pedestrain trail will be on the west side of the tracks, and there will be crossings of the tracks only at the Stations at Troutman and Horsetooth. Page 2 ia STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins CITYSCAPE URBAN DESIGN Date: 03/17/2003 KIM STRAW 3555 STANFORD RD. #105 FT. COLLINS, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for GARTH COMMERCIAL PLAZA PDP - TYPE I (LUC) #20-02B, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Advance Planning Issue Contact: Clark Mapes Topic: General Number: 17 Created: 3/9/2003 Ramp Question: Can/should the ramps at the Mason street driveways be directional (north -south)? Why divert out at the 45 degree angle? Number: 18 Created: 3/9/2003 The written statement mentions the Mason Street Corridor as a reason for this layout. How does this orient to the Corridor? Should the E/W walks which skirt the building be wider? For those familiar with the 281 North College Building, note the walk skirting the north side of the building is 8 feet wide and in general I believe this is a minimal width for anything other than a secondary utilitarian sidewalk along a building face. Number: 19 Created: 3/9/2003 Why is the street tree planting area between the street and sidewalk so narrow? Besides simply appearing skimpy, it creates turf maintenance and irrigation problems and more potential sidewalk/curb problems in the long run. IF it can't meet standards, I would recommend 6 feet minimum. Department: Current Planning . Issue Contact: Troy Jones Topic: Elevations Number: 59 Created: 3/14/2003 There is not adequate variation in massing or wall articulation on the west fagade [LUC 3.5.3(C), 3.5.3(1))(2)(a), 3.5.3(D)(3), and 3.5.3(D)(6)]. See redlined building elevations from Current Planning. Number: 66 Created: 3/17/2003 None of the facades satisfy top treatment requirements [3.5.3(D)(6)(b)]. The north, west, and south facades don't satisfy the base treatment requirements [3.5.2(D)(6)(a)]. The north and south facades don't satisfy fagade articulation requirements [3.5.3(D)(2)]. See redlined building eleveations from Current Planning. Topic: General Number: 25 Created: 3/12/2003 The following departments and agencies forwarded hand written comments directly to me as follows: Tim Buchanan - City Forester (a) Four trees should be planted between the sidewalk and the curb. See attached plan. (b) Change landscape note #20 to this statement: A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan are planted, pruned or removed in the public right-of-way. This includes all areas between the sidewalk and curb and street medians. This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted. Failure to obtain this permit may result in replacing or relocating trees and a hold on certificate of occupancy. Dennis Greenwalt - AT&T Broadband If not replatting, submit a copy of the existing approved plat for review. AT&T Broadband would like to see a plat map on this site before making any comments on easements and accesses. Rick Lee - Fort Collins Building Department Page 1
