HomeMy WebLinkAboutPVH MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING & PARKING STRUCTURE - FDP - 14-07A - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONSsensitive to the adjacent residential neighborhood. This material could be improved with additional texture or three -dimensionality to provide more depth and interest. Response: The MOB is designed to project a contemporary modern healthcare image while recognizing the existing hospital and remaining sensitive to the adjacent residential neighborhood. The modular brick is used to tie with the existing hospital while the stone and metal panel systems are materials that directly transition from the institutional hospital to a smaller scale residential language. The fourth floor cement board panel system was selected as a modular system (as opposed to a monolithic skin such as stucco) to maintain the same contemporary modular feel as the brick, stone, and metal panel systems. At the same time the light tan color and smooth texture of the cement board provide a clean, modern yet nondescript finish allowing the material to form more of a background, secondary wall mass, an important consideration for the fourth floor. The smooth, modular nature of the cement board, along with the selected color, help the language of the building project the modern healthcare image of a clean, technologically advanced, yet warm and inviting facility. The color switch from the earlier cold light grey to the current warm Sienna tan was crucial to the acceptable use of this material. The modularity of the panel installation, each panel with its own color gradations, will provide more of a depth to the system than can be seen in a single panel sample. 6. Please add a note to the Site Plan of the Parking Structure that states that, due to the fact that the design of the parking spaces are Long Term, parking within the Parking Structure shall be limited to staff, physicians, and all other employees of the Poudre Valley Hospital, the Medical Office Building and other surrounding medical office buildings that are duly authorized by P.V.H.S. And, that the Parking Structure is not available to the general public. Response: Note has been added to the Parking Structure site plan 7. Please add a note to the Site Plan for the Parking Structure that the Parking Structure access onto Robertson Street shall be restricted for emergency access only and not open on a regular daily basis. Response: Note has been added to the Parking Structure site plan 8. Please consider shifting the location of the trash enclosure away from the south property line out of consideration for neighborhood compatibility. Response: We have studied several locations on the site for the trash enclosure. This location is preferred since it is least visible from the public rights -of -way and public entrance areas, yet still accessible for building tenants and trash haulers. Also, this location is similar to the existing condition. The existing site contains a similar trash enclosure located adjacent to the back fence of the adjacent residences, so we are not creating a change to the current situation. 9. Be sure to specify on the architectural elevations for the Parking Garage that the supporting columns are topped by a cornice and capstone. Response: Noted and indicated on plans 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. Sincerely: Page 6 Northern: The clean -out has been labeled as "traffic rated". Number: 95 Created: 12/19/2007 [12/19/07] Fire hydrant and fire line on the north side of Garfield extending toward parking structure appear to impact a large existing tree. Adjust FH and FL accordingly. Stantec: The proposed fire hydrant and fire line on Garfield have been moved approximately 25' to the west to avoid an existing tree that is to remain in place. Number: 96 Created: 12/19/2007 [12/19/07] Is an irrigation tap planned for the MOB site? Northern: A separate irrigation tap is not being provided. Irrigation service will be provided downstream of the proposed domestic water meter. Number: 97 Created: 12/19/2007 [12/19/07] Show existing sewer service to 1050 Robertson and add appropriate notes to abandon at the main. Stantec: The existing sewer service has been shown on the utility plan and called out to be abandoned to the main. A street cut has also been shown on the utility plan and demo plan. Comments from Current Planning: 1. The landscaping along the south side of the M.O.B., as discussed at the site visit, will need to be revised after underground utilities are located. Then, with permission from the affected utilities (Light and Power, Comcast, Qwest), relocation north into the parking lot drive will allow for more plant material along the south property line. Response: With the information received from the on -site utility locates, we believe the trees shown on the plans can be carefully planted in this area without disturbing the existing utilities. Based on our site visit meeting with the utility companies, engineering and planning, this was preferred. The contractor will be made aware of the utilities, and will be responsible to note any additional conflicts that are found once construction begins and these lines are more thoroughly located. If necessary, affected utilities will be relocated north into the proposed parking lot area to avoid the conflict. 2. On the lighting plan, please indicate the south property line of the M.O.B. Response: Property line has been added to the drawing in addition to the 20'-0" setback line that is currently shown. 3. Please note on the lighting plan that illumination levels are too high and there is too much light spillage along the south property line of the M.O.B. Please consider reducing the number of poles, reducing the wattage, and/or reducing the height of the AA4 fixtures. At the very least, these fixtures should be equipped with external house -side shields that drop down a sufficient distance to block the view of the light source from the backyards of the adjacent houses. The applicant needs to be aware that, due to issues related to neighborhood compatibility, there will be a reduced lighting level in this portion of the parking lot. Response: The photometrics of the luminaires have been revised to meet the criteria of 0.1 fc at the 20' setback. Also, the external house -side shield have been indicated with a note on the luminaire schedule located on the drawings. 4. For both buildings, please indicate the quantity of each specified light fixture. Response: The Luminaire Schedule has been revised to indicate the quantity of each light fixture. 5. For the architectural materials on the M.O.B., please note that the mock up wall on display at the hospital indicates that the panel board is smooth, flat finish. Staff is concerned that this represents a degradation of quality for building that needs to be Paste 5 Stantec: The rock has been specified as a washed gravel with a diameter of 1.5 to 3 inches. Documentation has been provided to Wes Lamarque that this supports the assumption of 40% voids. Number: 91 Created: 12/19/2007 [12/19/07] A drainage easement is required for the water quality swale around the perimeter of the parking structure. The northwest section of this swale is not in an easement. It looks like the lot line goes all the way to the proposed right-of-way with no space for an easement. The lot line may need to be adjusted. Stantec: The drainage swale has been reviewed with Wes Lemarque and has been found to always be an easement, whether it be a drainage or utility easement. Number: 92 Created: 12/19/2007 [12/19/071 Please add a not on the utility and grading plan sheets stating a maintenance and inspection schedule for the owners of the stormceptor.

Pa«e 3 Number: 77 Created: 12/18/2007 [12/18/071 Stantec — Please show the R.O.W. consistently, same line type on all three sides of the parking structure site. Stantec: The ROW lines have been revised and are now shown consistently. Number: 78 Created: 12/18/2007 [12/18/07] Stantec — Please show how the Robertson access to the parking structure will be closed off for use (i.e. bollards, walls, doors etc...). Since this access will not be used, it does not seem appropriate to place a striped cross walk at this driveway. Stantec: A note has been added to the horizontal control plan regarding the gated emergency access and refers to the Architectural plans for final configuration. The architectural plans indicate the access with a roll -down gate. Number: 79 Created: 12/18/2007 [12/18/07] Stantec — The proposed standard detached 4.5 foot sidewalk on Robertson cannot be constructed without removing all of the existing curb, gutter and attached monolithic walk. Please clearly indicate on the Utility Plan sheet the section of concrete to be removed and replaced with standard vertical curb and gutter. Since there is parking on the street, you will be able to make a two foot cut in the pavement to remove and reconstruct the new vertical curb and gutter and patch with new asphalt. Please clearly show the two foot street cut limits on the plan as well. Stantec: The demo plan has been revised to show the removal of the monolithic walk, curb and gutter in addition to the sawcut. A detail has been added to the grading plan that shows a typical section of C/G replacement and a 2' asphalt patch along the curb and gutter in Robertson Street. Number: 80 Created: 12/18/2007 [12/18/07] Stantec — Please revise the Lemay Plan and Profile sheet per the redline comments. The plan view needs to show stationing along the flowline to be consistent with the stationing provided in the profile. Remove the landscape and topo layers to clean up the plan view and label the ROW and any easements. The cross sections provided should graphically reflect the location of sidewalks and C&G. Stantec: All redline comments on the Lemay Plan and Profile sheet have been addressed. Number: 81 Created: 12/18/2007 [12/18/071 Please revise the Site and Landscape Plans to be consistent with any changes made on the Utility Plans. Please refer to the redlines for any additional minor comments related to drafting and labeling.
