HomeMy WebLinkAboutMULBERRY AND LEMAY CROSSINGS, 2ND FILING, HOME DEPOT - MAJOR AMENDMENT - 36-96I/L - CORRESPONDENCE -fee is $200 and a letter and supporting documentation may be submitted anytime.
If granted, the Modification is valid for one year. Prior to expiration of one year,
the P.D.P. must be considered by the Board.
32. Please note that the first curb cut north of Mulberry on Lemay is not full motion
but restricted to right-in/right-out only by the raised median.
33. A neighborhood information meeting is required as the site is adjacent to existing
development and the plan represents a change in relationship to the approved
plan. The Planning Department will create the notification map for the
neighborhood meeting.
M
vacation procedure is by separate documents coordinated by the Engineering
Department.
21. Check the turning radius by the contractor sales area.
22. Please be aware that there is a platted sight distance easement along 12`h Street.
This area is restricted to low -growing shrubs or low screen walls. Be sure to
coordinate parking lot layout, landscaping and service yard screening so that there
are no visible encroachments within the sight distance easement.
23. The City charges a street cut fee. The fee is tripled if the street is less than five
years old. For further information, please contact Rick Richter, 221-6605.
24. Be sure to continue the east -west sidewalk all the way out to Lemay so that the
main entrance is connected to a public walk. This will also provide pedestrian
access to and from the existing restaurant.
25. The Development Agreement and Development Construction Permit will be
needed. There is a fee associated with the Development Construction Permit. For
further information, please contact Sheri Wamhoff, 221-6605.
26. The Transportation Impact Study (T.I.S.) must also perform a Level of Service
analysis for alternative modes. For further information, please contact Tom Reiff,
224-2040.
27. Bicycle parking must be provided in a safe and secure location. Be sure that there
is a clear continuous sidewalk system connecting the front entrance to the garden
entrance and the seasonal sales area.
28. Please note that Section 3.4.1(I) requires that elements of the site complement the
visual context of the Poudre River. Careful placement of Cottonwood trees and
river cobbles should be explored. For further information, please contact Doug
Moore, 221-6600.
29. A Fugitive Dust Permit will be needed from the Larimer County Health
Department during the construction phase. The trash collection system should
include facilities for recyclable materials. Outside the buffer areas, native plants
and grasses are encouraged over irrigated blue grass sod. For further information
regarding these issues, please contact Doug Moore, 22106750.
30. One of the key issues is to meet the standard regarding multiple entrances. As we
have discussed, for this standard to be satisfied, the secondary entrance must be
open during normal business hours and 12 months out of the year.
31. The Modification of Standard for the parking distribution standard may be taken
to the Planning and Zoning Board as a "stand-alone" prior to the full P.D.P. The
0
11. Normally onsite extended detention is required to treat the runoff. That was not a
requirement at the time the original development was approved. However the
design engineers did address water quality with a wetland pond that does help
with water quality, it just isn't the same as extended detention. A variance to the
requirement would need to be requested and justified by the existing water quality
treatment. Another option would be to provide some water quality treatment
within the new site. One suggestion would be to depress some parking lot
medians to provide extended detention. For further information regarding the
design of the stormwater system, please call Glen Schlueter, 221-6700.
12. Although the site received a LOMR-Fill from FEMA the building will still have
to meet the 18-inch elevation requirement for the Poudre River. Since the
building layout will change from the approved LOMR-Fill, the design engineer
will need to re -determine the highest BFE (Base Flood Elevation) against the
building to determine the elevation requirement. Please contact Marsha Hilmes-
Robinson for all the Floodplain requirements. (224-6036)
13. The Street Oversizing Fee will apply, due at the time of building permit issuance.
The fee is based on square footage and land use. In addition, the City collects the
Larimer County Road Impact fee. Please note that these fees are adjusted
annually based on the Denver -Boulder consumer price index. For an estimate of
these fees, please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605. Information on the Street
Oversizing Fee is available on the City's website.
14. The existing Transportation Impact Study will have to be updated to reflect
current conditions. Please discuss the scope of this study with Eric Bracke,
Traffic Engineer, 221-6630.
15. The P.D.P. may require the dedication of new utility easements. This can be done
by separate legal instrument and coordinated by the Engineering Department.
16. There may be a repay due to the original developer of the abutting public streets.
17. A new set of Utility Plans will be required. This will be more efficient than
amending the approved set on a sheet by sheet basis. Be sure the plans indicate
very clearly both existing and proposed utilities.
r
18. Utility Plans must include water and sewer design in both plan and profile.
19. Be sure to get the latest layout of the building envelopes and parking lot layout for
Buildings I and J. A Minor Amendment was approved in June of 2002 that
revised the original plan.
20. If there are any encroachments by building envelopes into existing easements,
then those affected portions of the easement must be properly vacated. The
4. Three-phase electrical power can be extended to the site from 12a' Street. The
location of the transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power.
Transformers must be within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change out
and screened from public streets. Normal development charges will apply. Any
modification to the existing system will be at the developer's expense. Street
trees must be spaced 40-feet and ornamental trees 15-feet from streetlights. For
further information, please contact Janet McTague, 221-6700.
5. Interior parking lot lighting and security lighting will be private and must match
the lighting already used within the center. This means that light poles, pole
color, pole height, wall -mounted fixtures, lamps, wattage and decorative fixtures
shall match Filing One (Wal Mart). A Lighting Plan will be part of the submittal
for P.D.P.
6. The site will be served water by the East Larimer County Water District and
sanitary sewer by the Boxelder Sanitation District. There are four water stubs to
the site, two potential service lines and two potential fire lines. Unused stubs
shall be abandoned at the main. Normal tap fees will apply. In addition, there is a
raw water requirement as well. For further information, please contact Mike
Schied, civil engineer, 493-2044.
7. As mentioned, the sanitary sewer will be provided by Boxelder. The contact
person is Ravi Srivastava, 498-0604.
8. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. An automatic fire
extinguishing system must be provided. Addresses must be visible from the street
on which the buildings front. Internal fire lanes must be a minimum of 24 feet
wide with inside and outside turning radii of 25 and 50 feet. A fire hydrant must
be located within 300 of the building and capable of delivering a minimum of
1,500 gallons per minute at 20 p.s.i. residual pressure. A Hazardous Material
Impact Analysis must be provided. For further information, please contact Ron
Gonzales, 221-6570.
9. The site is located in the Poudre River drainage basin. There are no development
fees in this basin at this time. The standard drainage and erosion control reports
are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in
Colorado. The size of this site requires a SWMM analysis to design the drainage
system.
10. The overall Mulberry and Lemay Crossing drainage report addressed
development of this site so the drainage patterns and imperviousness should be
verified. If there are differences the drainage engineer will need to design
improvements to address the differences. The design engineer needs to be a
registered Professional Engineer in Colorado.
