MEETING DATE: April 14, 2008
APPLICANT: Troy Jones
M. Torgerson Architects
204 Walnut
Fort Collins, CO 80524
LAND USE DATA: Request to change the use of the existing industrial building at 903
Buckingham to light industrial recycling. The property is within the City of Fort Collins and is zoned
I —Industrial District. The following departmental agencies have offered comments for this
proposal.
COMMENTS:
Zoning
Contact Info: Peter Barnes, 416-2355, pbarnes@fcgov.com
1. Permitted Uses: Light industrial recycling and outdoor storage are permitted uses in the (—
Industrial district subject to a Type I (Administrative) Review. Phase I could be done as a
minor amendment, but staff recommends that you seek approval for all three phases as a
Type I review at the outset. If you choose to seek minor amendment approval for Phase I
only, you run the risk that Phase II and III may not be approved.
2. The gravel base shown on the west of the site must be asphalt unless it meets one of the
criteria for an exception as listed in definition of "off-street parking area" in Section 5.1.2. If
this is not possible, you may request a modification of standards.
Current Planning
Contact Info: Anne Aspen 221-6206, aaspen@fcgov.com

Engineering
Contact Info: Randy Maizland, 416-2292, rmaizland@fcgov.com
1. Larimer County Road impact Fees and a City Street Oversizing Fee will apply to this
project. You may contact Matt Baker at (970) 224-6108 for an estimate of the fees.
2. The City's Transportation Development Review Fees will apply to this project. You can get
more information about these fees at http://fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php
3. The Transportation Impact Study requirement may be waived. Contact Ward Stanford at
221-6820 or wstanford@fcgov.com to discuss.
4. Buckingham is classified as a minor collector. The total right-of-way dedication needed for
a minor collector is 76 feet. You will be responsible for dedicating half of the right-of-way,
or 38 feet, plus a 9 foot utility easement behind the right-of-way.
5. Any damaged sidewalk, gutter or curb will need to be repaired or replaced. Damaged curb,
gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and
gutters destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be
replaced or restored in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of
completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
6. Utility plans, a Development Agreement (DA), and a Development Construction Permit
(DCP) will need to be prepared for this project. A plat is not required but may make sense
depending on how many easement dedications you need to make. Each dedication by
separate document has a fee whereas all easements are included in the plat fee.
7. Any public improvements must be made according to Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards.
8. You will need to fill in the sidewalks where they are discontinuous along your frontage. Any
new sidewalks must be designed to meet current standards including a detached profile
and to the proper width. If the existing sidewalk is not wide enough to meet ADA standards
or if it is in poor repair, you will be required to repair, widen or replace it altogether.
9. The previous owner was required to post a bond for frontage improvements. The City no
longer collects bonds. The developer will need to design and build frontage improvements
and provide preliminary off -site design to tie into the church site to the east.
10. You will need to provide some length of concrete or asphalt at the most westerly drive
approach to prevent drag out from the site out to the road if you are successful in your
request for modification.
Poudre Fire Authority
Contact Info: Carle Dann, 416-2869, cdann@poudre-fire.org
1. FIRE SPRINKLERS: Poudre Fire Authority fire -sprinkler requirements are based on type of
occupancy, type of construction and size of the structure. I will need information specifying
whether welding occurs within the structure(s); what type of hazardous materials are used
or stored inside or outside; and whether these amounts of hazardous materials exceed the
Maximum Allowable Quantities. (This is what determines type of occupancy.) The PFA
3
database shows 903 Buckingham St. as having a fire sprinkler system; however, it needs to
be determined if this system is adequate for the type of occupancy/occupancies that
Colorado Iron and Metal Works would be.
2. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Toxic, corrosive, or reactive materials, or
flammable/combustible liquids (as defined in the Uniform Fire Code) if used, stored, or
handled on site, must have a Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis (HMIA) completed and
supplied to the Planning Department and the Fire Department. (What do you have? How
much? How do you prevent it from being a public threat?) FCLUC3.4.5
3. WATER SUPPLY: Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water
district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must
meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing
requirements include:
Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not farther than 300
feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter
Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure,
spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter
Residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure,
spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter.
4. WATER SUPPLY: These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with
automatic fire sprinkler systems. 97UFC 901.2.2.2
5. REQUIRED ACCESS: Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility,
building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's
jurisdiction when any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located
more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route (from a
public street) around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall:
• Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete)
capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used
only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites.
Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable.
Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire
lane.
A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. If a fire lane is
not provided, all buildings out of access (exceeding the 150-foot requirement)
shall be equipped with an approved automatic fire -sprinkler system. 97UFC
901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1
6. ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the
property, and posted with a minimum of 6 inch numerals on a contrasting background.
(Bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable). 97UFC901.4.4
Stormwater
Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com
1. The applicant indicated that the move to this location would be phased. If there are areas
to be paved that will increase the imperviousness area greater than 1000 square feet, a
drainage and erosion control report and construction plans would then be required and
must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. Only a grading plan
is required when there is between 1000 and 350 square feet of new imperviousness. There
are no requirements for less than 350 square feet.
2. Should there need to be a detention area, the two-year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre
in the Dry Creek basin. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban
0
Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment, but all BMPs
are encouraged in addition to the extended detention. The detention areas need to contain
enough volume for runoff from the impervious areas so using the area for scrap metal pile
would take up that volume. The pond could be oversized to accommodate the scrap metal,
but that would be a hard thing to judge of when the pile is too big. If extended detention is
to be used for water quality treatment, it can be included in a water quantity pond but
should be separate from any scrap metal pile if the plan is to use the pond for scrap metal
storage. Separate water quality treatment can be provided onsite or the outlet to the
existing pond to the southeast could be modified to treat the runoff; however, the water
quality capture volume would need to include all the area draining into the larger pond.
The applicant's engineer needs to check the drainage reports for Van Works to verify where
detention is being provided and the outfall for the system.
3. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Dry Creek Master
Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.
4. The city wide development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over
350 sq.ft. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time
each building permit is issued. The monthly fee information is available on the City's web
site at fcgov.com. The section of the code that addresses the monthly fees is Sec. 26-514.
Jean Pakech at 221-6375 will calculate the fees if you provide her with a proposed site
plan.
5. This site is in the FEMA 500-year Cache La Poudre River floodplain. The only floodplain
regulation that applies to this site is no life -safety or emergency response critical facilities
are allowed in the 500-year floodplain. There are no floodplain regulations related to this
use.
Water Wastewater
Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com
1. Existing mains: 12-inch water main in Buckingham, 24-inch sanitary sewer in N/S
alignment in an easement on the west side of the site.
2. The domestic water service to the site is a 1-inch, and the fire line is a 6-inch.
3. Maintain/provide a 30 foot easement (15 feet each side) for the 24-inch sanitary sewer.
4. If any additional connections to sewer are needed, these connections must be made at a
manhole.
5. If an increase in size or number of water service(s), development fees and water rights will
be due at building permit. Credit will be given for the existing service to the building.
Light and Power
Contact Info: Justin Fields, jfields@fcgov.com filling in for Rob Irish, 224-6167,
rirish@fcgov.com
1. Existing service: There is existing 3-phase 208 service.
2. C-1: You will need to fill out a C-1 form with your project development plan. The form is
attached.
3. Fees: Regular development fees will not be assessed on 903 Bukingham, since they were
paid previously by Vanworks. If service is extended to 827 or 813 Buckingham regular
development fees will apply. Capacity charges or credits may apply, depending on the new
power requirements. There will likely be some system modifications which will be your
responsibility. This work may include upgrading the transformer to meet the new service
requirements.
4. There are currently separate meters for different parts of the building. You may want to
consolidate these into one meter if the space will be used by just one business.

Environmental Planning
Contact Info: Dana Leavitt, 224-6143, dleavitt@fcgov.com
1. Tree protection: Existing trees on the property may require protection during construction or
mitigation if they must be removed. Please contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester at 224
6361 or tuchanan@fcgov.com and me to arrange a site visit to review and evaluate the
site.
2. Trash and recycling: Any trash enclosures proposed for the project (for office trash and
recycling etc, not for metal recycling operations) shall comply with Section 3.2.5 of the Land
Use Code. Please review The City of Fort Collins Design Considerations Guidance
Document found that http://www.fcgov.com/recycling/pdf/enclosure-guidelines08O4.pdf to
determine the size and appropriate design.
