Dear Mr. Yergensen:
•
The Planning Staff has held the final review session for the items being heard
on the June 26, 1989 Planning and Zoning Board hearing. The following comments
apply to both the preliminary and final of the Market Place P.U.D.
PRELIMINARY P.U.D.
The Preliminary P.U.D. is basically in good shape. Most of the comments that
follow will apply to the final. When submitting the 10 prints and PMT's on
June 19, 1989, it will not be necessary to include sheet SP-1 as this will
duplicate the final P.U.D. cover sheet. Sheet SP-2 will suffice as long as it
is labeled "Preliminary P.U.D."
FINAL P.U.D.
Sheet SP-1:
Since this sheet will have the signatures, it will serve as the cover sheet
for the entire P.U.D. package. As such, it should contain more detailed
information. Please add the following information to sheet SP-1:
1. The title of the P.U.D. should appear in the lower right corner. Please
add "The Market Place P.U.D., Phase One, Final" below the signature block for
the Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Board. (L.D.G.S. p. 48)
2. A legal description must appear on the cover sheet. (L.D.G.S. p. 47)
3. At the top of the concept plan, please add the title "Amended Superblock
Master Plan Number 3 For South College Properties".
4. The surrounding properties of the concept plan should also be labeled with the
existing zoning. (L.D.G.S. p. 50)
5. Please add Note #16 to read: "Long term parking stalls to be identified
with a raised sign."
0 •
6. Below the signature line for the owner, the name of the signor should be
printed.
7. In the data table, the number of vehicular parking spaces should be
totalled. Also, state the number of parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of
the final P.U.D. in terms of a ratio.
Sheet SP-2:
1. The patterned concrete crosswalks are not considered to be an alternate.
Delete the reference to "Alternate". As a result of our meeting May 25, 1989,
it was decided that these crosswalks provide a valuable sense of caution to the
motorist and do not become tarred or blackened over time. Also, label the
crosswalk at the sidewalk in the parking bay as "patterned concrete".
2. The sidewalk in between the parking bays that leads up to retail Pad F
should be six feet wide, not four as shown. With a 17 foot parking stall,
there will be a two foot vehicular overhang onto the sidewalk. Also, please
label this "sidewalk".
3. In front of anchor tenant G, at the north property line, add the note:
"Future sidewalk connection to north".
4. As stated in comment number 27 of the our letter dated May 19, 1989, there
needs to be one landscaped island added to each of the three parking bays in
front of anchor tenant G. As it stands now, there would be 180 linear feet
without any landscape relief. SE6 7N Di V 10 VhL T EE PLAAmN 64 h/ / C VC a

5. As stated in comment number 25 of the same letter, there needs to be a
landscaped island at the end of the parking bay featuring the two handicapped
parking spaces.
6. The four compact car parking spaces located behind retail F should be
deleted and replaced with landscape materials.
7. Staff is concerned about the designation of 9 compact parking stalls just
south of Pad A. According to the City's Off Street Parking Requirements:
"Long term parking is parking which can reasonably be assumed to have a
limited turnover during a normal working weekday. Long term parking would
usually be employee type parking or residential type parking. The number
of trips from a stall would generally be no more than two or three during
the course of the day."
Since these 9 stalls are adjacent to a potential 5,200 square foot pad, it
seems likely that there would be frequent turnover for customers. As a result,
these spaces should not be compact in size but rather standard size. Since
there is landscaped overhang, the spaces could be 9' x 17'.
8. Add the same note as #16 on SP-1 regarding a raised identification sign
for the long term parking stalls. The note should be in the vicinity of the
long term stalls.

Sheet L-1:
1. The frontage along J.F.K. Parkway, north of
length. This should be treated with 5 deciduous
to achieve street trees planted on 40 foot centers.
the curb cut, is 200 feet in
street trees, not 3, in order
2. Add one more deciduous street tree along Troutman, between the two curb
cuts, 40 feet west of the Honeylocust, behind Retail D.
3. There are two Radiant Crabs (RC) that are not labeled located on Troutman,
between the two curb cuts, just south and east of Retail D.
4. Between the sidewalk and the curb, in front of Pad B, along College Ave-
nue, there is approximately 120 feet from the intersection without the benefit
of street trees. Please add two deciduous street trees in this area.
5. Between the sidewalk and the curb, in front of Pad A, along College Ave-
nue, there should be one additional deciduous street tree planted to close the gap
between the two trees shown.
6. Staff recommends against using the L3 detail of large aggregate
as the
ground cover in the landscaped parking lot islands. This represents too much
hard surface and contributes to bleak appearance. The surface treatment
should
be a combination of sod and shrubs. Also, two 5 gallon potentillas is
insuf-
ficient in a landscaped island that is 35 feet in length. Please increase the
shrub cover to include one 5 gallon shrub per 5 feet of landscaped
isl nd.
This should be a minimum. ,O6Z�"7� 1Y6G /eE6f�i�J �2 [ /%GE

7. Again, referring to the landscaped islands, Staff applauds the
use of
small berms to help break up the large asphalt appearance. There are three
existing islands, however, that would benefit from additional tree plantings.
These
three islands are located on the west end of the parking lot and are at the
ends of
the three bays that do not include the turf treatment throughout the length
of the
bay. 0. k . 4e %1, " C '�G /1W
8. Referring back to comment number 4 for Sheet SP-2, these additional
landscape islands should be treated with two trees each for each side of the
bay.
9. Referring back to comment number 5 for Sheet SP-2, the additional landscape
island next to the handicap stalls should be treated the three Spring Snow Crab as
well as additional shrubs (7 minimum), and turf.
10. The north side of the Phar Mor building should be treated with sod rather
than the dryland seed mix. This sod should be irrigated.
11. Paralleling the
screen wall along
J.F.K. Parkway, there
is a double solid
line. What does
this line indicate?
Is this an edging
material for the
shrubs? It does not
appear to represent
the berm. Please clarify.
VnE- M L g O C, i N &
12. The screen wall along J.F.K. would benefit from additional shrub plant-
ings. Adding both horizontal and vertical elements would greatly enhance the
area. Please intensify this area and adjust the landscape table accordingly.

13. Please adjust the landscape schedule on Sheet L-3 to indicate RC for the
radiant crab.
Sheet L-2:
It is not required to submit an irrigation plan as part of the P.U.D. process.
Therefore, please do not include this sheet in the set of prints that are due
on June 19, 1989. A PMT of this sheet will not be r,�qui ed either P �,� Z
�l T.
Sheet A-1:
Please indicate the color of the metal screen walls for the HVAC equipment.
Signage Program:
1. Textured sheet metal base for the three free-standing monument signs will
not be allowed. Bases must be brick or identical ribbed block to match the
buildings.
2. There
is
a discrepancy between the Sign Program (p.2) and Sheet A-1 regarding
the height
of
the Phar Mor building sign. The
Program indicates these letters will
be 7 feet
tall
and the Sheet indicates a height
of 5 feet. Given the architectural
_ elevation
and
the space allotted for signage, it
would be difficult to place 7 foot
letters in
this
area and still have room for the
underline band. The Sign Program
should be
revised to indicate 5 foot letters.
3. The temporary banners referred to in the Sign Program (p.3) are not allowed
by the Sign Code unless by special 30 day permit. Please add the sentence:
"All temporary banners must comply with the Sign Code of the City of Fort
Collins and be approved by a special Sign Permit issued on a temporary
basis."
4. Staff has a major problem with the Exterior Elevation Wall Signs for
Troutman Parkway as described on page 4 of the Sign Program. At the meeting of
May 25, 1989, Staff allowed these signs on the condition that they be uniform
in color (red was discussed), and with individual letters about 18 inches in
height. In no way was it ever intended by Staff to allow one square foot of
signage per one linear foot of frontage. This is far to excessive. Signage
along the rear of the buildings should be 18 inches in height, no more than 8
feet in length, for a total square footage of 12 square feet per tenant.
Please revise page 4 of the Signage Program.
This
letter will be sent
by
facsimile machine on June 9, 1989 so it may be the
basis
for discussion at
the
meeting scheduled for Monday, June 12, 1989 to be
held
at 2:00 at the City
of
Fort Collins.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard,
Project Planner
