HomeMy WebLinkAboutPEAK VIEW SUBDIVISION - PDP - 26-00 - CORRESPONDENCE -21. The base flows in the irrigation ditch is 35 c.f.s. The ditch capacity in the site area is 140 180 c.f.s. but the downstream section has a capacity of only 90 c.f.s. Therefore, the, ditch spills in large storm events along a length of the ditch that spans from the Ponds at Overland (west of Overland Trail) to a point on this site. It spills 284 c.f.s. along this reach so a spill structure needs to be located on the parcel. Other spill locations are being planned upstream and downstream of the site. The design engineer will need to work closely with Stormwater's Master Planning engineer, Susan Hayes. Glen Schlueter will act as the point of contact. Stormwater can supply the models that may be needed. A drainage easement or street right-of-way is needed to convey existing spills. Accommodating a spill structure in the proper location may require shifting the north - south street over to the west. 22. Water quality must be addressed and extended detention is the method required. This can be added to the onsite detention pond. There would have to be separate water quality treatment for the proposed parking area along the park. Glen Schlueter and Susan Hayes are available at 221-6681. 23. The Utility Plans will be required to show the design of all public improvements serving the site. This includes the plans and profiles of the public streets. Additional right-of- way will have to be dedicated along West Elizabeth Street to bring the south one-half of the street up to the minor arterial standard. Please note the requirements for private alleys in Article Three, Section Six of the Land Use Code. 24. The proposed head -in parking facing south will have to be discussed. We need to make sure that bicycles and pedestrians are safely accommodated. 25. The street oversizing fee will apply on a per unit basis. This fee is calculated on a sliding' scale based on the square footage of the unit and payable at the time of building permit issuance. 26. A Development Agreement will be required between the City and the developer prior to final plans being recorded. A Development Construction Permit will be required after recording and before excavation and grading. For further information regarding engineering issues, please contact Sheri Wamhoff, 221-6605. 27. The use of alleys are encouraged. Please note the setback requirements for garages or other structures from the alley as stated in Article Three of the Land Use Code. For garages that face the public street along the front of the house, be sure to check the garage placement standards in Article Three. 28. The applicant is encouraged to contact U.S. West, Public Service and AT&T Cable for information regarding other utilities. 11. The sanitary sewer line on your west property line would need to be placed within a 15 wide utility easement. The main should be centered within this easement. This may have an effect on how the lot lines are arranged along west side of the site. 12. As with electrical service, we recommend only one water and sewer service per building rather than each unit having separate services. This will require a Homeowners' Association to share the billing. The project would benefit from a utility coordination meeting as early in the process as possible. Water and sewer plant investment fees are payable at the time of building permit issuance. Raw water shares or the raw acquisition fee -in -lieu are also due at building permit. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 13. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. A minimum of 1,500 gallons per minute at 20 p.s.i. residual pressure will be required. No dwelling unit shall be further than 300 feet from a fire hydrant. No portion of any building can be more than 150 feet from street. Otherwise, automatic fire extinguishing systems will be required. 14. A traffic impact study will be required. The study must address all modes of travel including bicycles, pedestrian and transit. All internal streets must feature a detached sidewalk with street trees planted in the parkway strip. West Elizabeth is considered a minor arterial street. The need for a bike/ped connection to the park has already been mentioned but is repeated for emphasis. The transportation planner is Tom Cook, 221- 6608 and the traffic engineer is Eric Bracke, 221-6630. 15. With the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal, an ecological characterization study will be required. There may be a lot trees along this ditch. Please contact Kim Kreimeyer, 221- 6750 to determine the scope of this study. If there are any wetlands or large trees, these .features must be mapped. Also, please note if there are any existing prairie dogs on the parcel 16. It is recommended that a meeting on the site with City staff be arranged. The buffer area, or "limits of disturbance" area for the PV&L Canal can be established. Also the details of the ecological characterization study can be discussed. Please contact Kim Kreimeyer to set this meeting up. 17. A Fugitive Dust permit will be required for overlot grading, excavation, construction phase of project. This permit must be obtained from the Larimer County Health Department. 18. One trash hauler should be used to save wear and tear on the streets and to minimize inconveniences. 19. The site is located on the upper end of the Canal Importation Basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $6,181 per acre subject to the runoff coefficient and the amount of stormwater detention. The Utility Plans must include a Grading and Drainage Plan, an Erosion Control Plan and a Drainage Report prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Colorado. 20. Onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate. It must be discharged into the Clearview Ponds under the PV&L canal. The irrigation company must approve the construction plans. COMMENTS: The property is zoned L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. A maximum of eight units per acre (as calculated on a net acreage basis) is permitted in this zone district. The property is less than 10 acres so the requirement for a private park would not apply. 2. There should be a direct bike and pedestrian connection to the existing sidewalk in Overland Park. 3. There is a strip of land north of the present park boundary, which appears to be owned by the City. Discussions regarding quit -claiming this strip to the developer should be directed through the Parks Planning Department. Please contact Janet Meisel, 221- 6640 for further details. 4. There would be two parkland fees assessed: the neighborhood parkland fee and the community parkland fee. Both fees are based on a sliding scale based on the square footage of the dwelling unit. Fees are due at the time of building permit issuance. 5. Each unit would also be assessed a Capital Expansion Fee. This fee is also based on a sliding scale based on the size of the dwelling unit. This fee is payable at the time of building permit. A fee schedule is available at the Building Inspection Division. 6. The site will be served by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department. Existing electrical power would be brought in from Elizabeth Street. Any existing overhead lines abutting the property would have to be placed underground. Electrical power is also available from Pleasant Valley Drive. 7. With townhomes and patio homes, it is very important to coordinate the location of underground utilities that will come in to each lot from the street. There needs to be proper separation between water, sewer, natural gas and electrical facilities. Meters for the different utilities will have to be placed sufficiently apart for service. It may be more advantageous for one electrical meter to serve each unit per multi-plex building rather than each unit having its own electrical meter. 8. A conduit will be needed for electrical facilities to cross the P.V.&L Canal. Normal electrical charges will apply. For further information, please contact Doug Martine, 221- 6700. 9. Water and sewer will be provided by the City of Fort Collins. There are two 12-inch diameter water mains in West Elizabeth. One serves the Foothills Pressure Zone and one is tied into the city-wide distribution system. In addition, C.S.U. has an non -potable irrigation main in Elizabeth. Finally, check with Fort Collins -Loveland Water District since they may have a main in Elizabeth as well. This property can only be served by the City's Foothills Pressure Zone system. 10. There are also water and sewer mains to the east and west of the parcel. To the east, in Sienna, there is an eight -inch diameter water main and an eight -inch diameter sewer main. To the west, in Pleasant Valley Drive, there is a six-inch diameter water main and an eight -inch diameter sewer main. All city mains are available to serve the site.
