HomeMy WebLinkAboutRAW URTH DESIGNS - PDP - PDP150007 - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONSComment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 September 14, 2015 City of Fort Collins Planning Department, This letter is to address the planning department comments on Raw Urth Designs. Below are the comments, in italics, and our response in bold. Comments are also reflected on the drawings and have been clouded accordingly. Thank You Curtis Koldeway Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 Comment Summary: Department:Planning Services Contact:Clay Frickey,970­224­6045,cfrickey@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number:2 Comment Originated:07/06/2015 07/06/2015: The west elevation has very little detail on the main level. Please provide windows, steel panels and/or other architectural details to break up this mass. (3) windows have been added to this elevation with steel head and sill detail similar to the South elevation. Comment Number:5 Comment Originated:07/06/2015 07/06/2015: Please provide an elevation of the proposed fence for the storage yard. An elevation of the fence has been provided. RE: sheet A­2 / 6 Topic:General Comment Number:4 Comment Originated:07/06/2015 07/06/2015:How will you be screening the trash and recycling enclosure?Please provide elevations of the proposed screening. The trash and recycling will be in the screened storage yard. The yard will be screened by a 6’­0” solid metal panel fence. RE: sheet A­2 / 6 Comment Number:7 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:The Prairie Dog Colony Removal Plan submitted has errors that may indicate the wrong site was surveyed.Please submit a corrected version of the Prairie Dog Colony Removal Plan. Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 The corrected version of the Prairie Dog Colony Removal Plan has been provided. It also seems as the prairie dog colony has left the property. Topic:Landscape Plans Comment Number:3 Comment Originated:07/06/2015 07/06/2015:Please show the trash and recycling enclosure and bike parking on the landscape plan. Bike rack is shown. Trash and recycling will be in fenced storage yard. Comment Number:6 Comment Originated:07/06/2015 07/06/2015:Please remove the aspen trees proposed on the landscape plan and replace with different trees.Staff recommends replacing with evergreen trees. The Aspen trees have been replaced with Evergreen trees. Topic:Site Plan 07/01/2015:The project narrative states that Raw Urth employs 17 people.The site plan indicates the parking requirement was calculated for 10 employees.The project should provide 13 spaces per the project narrative.Please reconcile this difference. The parking summary on sheet A­1 the architectural site plan has been modified to address 17 employees at .5 per employee minimum. The will allow us to provide 9 required spaces and is consistent with the project narrative. Department:Engineering Development Review Contact:Marc Virata,970­221­6567,mvirata@fcgov.com Topic:General Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:The project needs to reflect the dedication of additional right­of­way along both Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street in order for the sidewalk installed along both streets (to the collector standard with an 8 foot parkway and 5 foot detached sidewalk)to be in right­of­way.In addition,dedication of additional utility easement behind the new right­of­way is required in order to ensure a total of a 9 foot utility easement from behind the new right­of­way line.Each deed of dedication Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 for right­of­way and utility easement (if done by separate document and not done via replat)will require a $250 deed of dedication fee as part of our Transportation Development Review Fee schedule as well as recording costs to record the deeds of dedication as assessed by Larimer County. The easement added via dedication Comment Number:2 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:City Engineering Capital Projects has done some recent work in the area.This includes the installation of a new storm line running along the north side of Conifer Street abutting the property and an inlet installed abutting the property just east of the alley.The Engineer should have this information included on the plan set (especially with the utility connections shown now crossing the new line).Interwest (Bob Almirall)can provide the information for inclusion into the civil design for this project. The new information is shown on the plans, unfortunately we were not able to benefit from the new storm line and the pond design remains essentially the same. Comment Number:3 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:The sidewalk north of the driveway out to Red Cedar Circle should be built as detached from the street to have it aligned with the detached sidewalk along the south side of the driveway,and to additionally ensure that the drive approach can be built with a radius style driveway (Type III)as required in LCUASS. The detached sidewalk has been realigned and the sidewalk north of the drive entry has been reconfigured to tie into the existing sidewalk to the North of the driveway. Comment Number:4 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:Please provide 20 foot curb return radii for the driveway approach in conjunction with the previous comment. A 20’ curb return radii for the driveway approach has been added the plans. Comment Number:5 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:The access ramp at the corner of Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street should be shown to face directly east with the truncated dome detection placed perpendicular (north­south)to the line of travel.A receiving access ramp is also Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 required to be installed at the northeast corner of the Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street intersection. The access ramp at the corner of Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street was modified to face directly east with the truncated domes placed perpendicular to the line of travel. A receiving ramp has also been added to the drawings at the northeast corner of Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street intersection. Comment Number:6 Comment Originated:07/07/2015 07/07/2015:The access ramp at the alley should be shown continuing directly west and in the same alignment without the curve as the overall sidewalk along Conifer Street.Note that the City project will be looking to have the sidewalk and access ramp built west of the alley to match in alignment with the 8 foot parkway and 5 foot detached sidewalk.(Also,note that there isn't an existing curb opening at the corner of this intersection as shown on the plans.The curb return for the alley was rebuilt as part of the City project.) The access ramp has been reconfigured as requested. 07/07/2015:Does the new inlet installed east of the alley abutting the property afford any additional option for design that wasn't available previously?Perhaps a pond design that could negate the need for the modular block wall,which is awkward in an existing utility easement?Additional parking could be provided if desired/needed? The inlet does not negate the need for the wall ­ the site is very constrained and additional depth in the pond will not resolve the pond configuration.

This cultivar of elm is not on the City of Fort Collins Street Tree List. Change the Triumph Elms to Accolade Elm which is on the street tree list. These trees have been changed to Accolade Elm. Comment Number:2 Comment Originated:07/08/2015 07/08/2015: Comment Number:1 Comment Originated:09/14/2015 An aspen tree is shown along Conifer Street very close to the sidewalk.It appears to be about 2 feet from the walk and will cause a conflict as it grows.Position this tree further away from the sidewalk at 4 feet or more.Increasing the width of the planting bed could accommodate repositioning the location of the aspen. This tree has been removed from the landscape plan. Comment Number:3 Comment Originated:07/08/2015 07/08/2015: Two Crimson Sentry Maple trees are proposed in parking lot peninsula areas. Norway Maples don’t typical survive long term or thrive in hot exposed locations. Consider using Crimson Spire Oak in place of the Crimson Sentry Maple for a tree of similar shape and that is better adapted to this location. These trees have been replaced with Crimson Spire Oak. Comment Number:4 Comment Originated:07/08/2015 07/08/2015: Show locations of street lights and stop signs and position street trees to meet Land Use Code separation standards.Street trees should be at least 20 feet from stop signs.Street tree placement by any City street light should be as follows. Canopy shade trees 40 feet from street light Ornamental trees 15 feet from street light The stop sign and street light are now shown and the street tree locations have been adjusted. Comment Number:5 Comment Originated:07/08/2015 07/08/2015: The first street tree from the corner along Conifer Street is quite close to the corner. Evaluate site­distance issues for positioning this tree further away from the corner.It appears it should be placed at least 10 feet or more further to the west.Evaluate by contacting the City Traffic Department for their direction. The street trees have been adjusted as requested. Comment Number:6 Comment Originated:07/08/2015 07/08/2015: Obtain the standard landscape notes from the Planning Department to place on the plan.Standard notes can be obtained from Clay Frickey or Jason Holland in the Planning Department.Use the Planning Departments standard notes on the plan. These notes now appear on sheet L­3.
