14. It may be best to plat this property as a "lot".
15. The parking overhang into the landscape area on the south side of the
parking lot leaves the landscape strip 1' short of what's necessary.
This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be
forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing
agencies.
Under the development review process and.schedule there is a 90 day plan
revision submittal time -frame mandated by. the City. The 90 day
turnaround period begins on the date of this comment letter (2/24/00)
prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department.
Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments
and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due no later than the
third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the
revisions. At this staff review meeting it will be determined if the project is
ready to go to the Administrative Hearing Officer (or Planning and Zoning
Board, if necessary) for a decision and, if so, will be scheduled for the nearest
open date.
Please return all red -lined plans and reports with your revisions when they are
submitted to the Current Planning Department. The number of copies of

Street and dedicating right-of-way & easement along Evenstar
Court instead of platting the property? Staff believes that the
owner will have to'pay fees based on all of Tract F, not just the
building footprint. Staff suggests that the property be platted with
this development request.
b. The City will install a median in South shields Street, probably this
construction season.
C. Additional comments can be found on the red -lined plans that are
being forwarded to the applicant.
Please contact David, at 221-6750, if you have questions about his
comments.
7. A copy of the comments. received from Jeff Hill of the Water/Wastewater
Department is attached to this letter. Additional comments can be found
on red -lined plans that are being forwarded to the applicant. Please
contact Jeff, at 221-6674, if you have questions about his comments.
8. Eric Bracke of the Traffic Operations Department stated that he will
work with the Engineering Department to construct the median in South
Shields Street.
The following comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly Staff
Review Meeting on February 16, 2000:
Stormwater (Basil Hamdan)
9. The storm sewers need profile views.
10. How does the grading at the southwest corner of the site tie into existing
grades?
11. A detail is needed for the water quality outlet.
12. Some storm water flows do not go to the detention pond.
13. The plans are not at 90% complete; therefore, another round of review is
necessary.
3. Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority stated that the "puppy
plugs" in the animal relief area shall be smaller than normal size and
painted brown (see General Note 15 on the Site Plan).
4. Representatives of the Zoning Department offered the following
comments:
a. Show the building envelope, dimensions and distance to property
lines.
b. The "Parking Summary" table says that stalls are 9' x 17'/ 19'. The
stalls are all 17' deep, meaning a 2' overhang is allowed, but only if
the space is adjacent to a minimum 6' wide sidewalk or landscape
strip (see Section 3.2.2(L) and Figure 5 in the LUC). The spaces on
the south side of the driveway. are adjacent to a 5' wide landscape
strip, meaning that they must be 19' deep stalls. The depth of the
stall must be increased by 2' or an additional foot must be added
to the width of the landscape strip.
C. Staff suggests that the animal relief area be relocated away from
the main entrance, possibly over to the south side of the building
in the grass area. General Note 15 on the Site Plan states that the
animal relief areas are to be cleaned weekly. If they remain located
by the main entrance they should probably be cleaned more often.
d. Bark mulch in planting beds is being called for in some areas.
River rock tends to stay in place better and look nicer for a longer
period of time. From past experience, the bark tends to need to be
replaced and added to each year to maintain the look.
Please contact Jenny or Peter, at 221-6760, if you have questions about
these comments.
5. A copy of the comments received from Donald Dustin of the Stormwater
Utility is attached to this letter. Additional comments can be found on
the red -lined reports and plans that are being forwarded to the applicant.
Please contact Donald, at 221-2053, if you have questions about his
comments.

Dear Greg,
Staff has reviewed your revisions for the RAINTREE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
(2335 South Shields Street), Project Development Plan - #22-98A that were
submitted to the City on January 26, 2000, and is offering the following
comments:
1. This property is located at the southwest corner of South Shields Street
and Evenstar Court, just east of the City of Fort Collins Senior Center. It
is in the NC - Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District. The proposed
animal hospital use is not permitted in this District. Is the actual use to
be a veterinary clinic, which is permitted and subject to an
administrative review (Type I) and public hearing fora decision?
Veterinary facilities, small animal clinic shall mean any facility
maintained by or for the use of a licensed veterinarian in the
diagnosis, treatment or prevention of animal diseases wherein the
animals are limited to dogs, cats or other comparable household
pets and wherein the overnight care of said animals is prohibited
except when necessary in the medical treatment of the animal.
The "overnight care" is what differentiates a clinic from a hospital. If a
permitted, Type I use, the Project Development Plan (PDP) must go to a
public hearing before an administrative hearing officer for a decision
unless any modifications of standards are required, which would
automatically change the request to a Type II, Planning and Zoning
Board review.
2. The Mapping Department asked if this is going to be a replat. If so, they
will need to see the plat.
