Provide landscaped islands at the end of each row of parking spaces. Landscaping is also required in the setbacks on the perimeter of the property. 2. Loading zones can not be part of a driving. 3. Additional ROW (20 feet) must be dedicated on College Avenue. A landscaped buffer should still be provided inside the new ROW. Show the ultimate width on the plan along with the sidewalk. 4. The sidewalk must be 7 feet in width. 5. Note on the plan the type of interior traffic directional signal that would be provided. 6. Angle parking would help in directing traffic flow. A counter -clockwise flow around the perimeter would appear to work. 7. A landscaped island should be used to direct traffic from the drive-thru back onto College Avenue. 8. As was stated previously, it will be very difficult to achieve the required points for the Land Development Guidance System. You do have the option to request a variance. This would require you to demonstrate why this proposal is a special case and how it could be an asset to the area. 9. Intensify landscaping throughout the plan. Maintain as much of a landscaped buffer as possible between College and the driveway. 10. Emergency access requirements (such as turning radii) must be addressed. 11. Indicate which areas will be fenced. 12. Note the previous Conceptual Review comments. Many of these still apply. 7 May 85 D A BURGER INN PUD - Preliminary & Final 27-85 v 01 IS W6 17 NJ 79V/ 3 5 - . lc1 ol Z, 5,4 a,c:� �` cam? STATE, Or"COLOKADO DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS , P.O. Box 850 Greeley, Colorado 80632-0850 (303) 353-1232 May 14, 1985 FiECOVED Larimer Co., S.H. 287 Burger Inn P.U.D. 1298 N. College Ave.. Department of Community Development � ® 1985 (Ft. Collins) City of Ft. Collins DOH File 45100 P.O. Box 580 PLMA4146 Ft. Collins, CO 80522 DEPAR-riv1ENT Dear Sir or Madam: We have reviewed the Burger Inn Preliminary and Final P.U.D. and have the following comments: 1. This development is located immediately north of the future Ft. Collins Expressway interchange at North College Avenue. The enclosed preliminary right of way plan sheet shows the anticipated right of wary line in relation to this property, which has been shaded red. It is clear from this plan sheet that this line cuts across the western portion of the proposed restaurant site. The Burger Inn Site Plan does not recognize the future right of way which will be needed for the interchange, but it does show an additional :20 feet of right of way along the east side of existing State Highway 287. The additional 20 feet would result in a 60-foot width east of the highway centerline, which is consistent with the City's recommended 120-foot total right of way width. We support the 120-foot width for S.H. 287 but we ask that the necessary right of way for the future interchange also be provided by reservation or, preferably, dedication, as permitted by local regulations. 2. The location of the access to S.H. 287 at the north end of this site is acceptable, given the limited amount of frontage this property has on the highway. However, it should be noted that this access could conflict with the future acceleration lane extending north from the Expressway interchange. The taper for this lane is proposed to occur across this access. We do question the need for two exit lanes and point out that this access will eventually be limited to right turns in and out only due to a raised median on S.H. 287, which is to be built in conjunction with the interchange. An Access Permit will be required to construct this access. Application for this permit is made to the City Transportation Department and should include relocation of the existing light pole in the right of way and widening of S.H. 287 along this property for a right -turn City of Ft. Collins May 14, 1985 Page Two deceleration lane and concrete curb and gutter. The design of the access is not acceptable as shown on the Site Plan, and it should be revised in accordance with the State Highway Access Code. 3. The Landscape Plan shows a number of trees within the 20-foot new right of way. These trees must be kept outside of this area and the additional interchange right of way, since they would conflict with the future interchange and could obstruct sight distance at the access. We do not object to low -profile landscaping if it is maintained by the private property owner. 4. We cannot determine from the Site Plan whether the water and sewer lines leading from the Burger Inn Building are existing or proposed. If these are new lines, an Underground and Utility Permit is required. Application for this permit is made to this office. Thank you for the opportunity to review this P.U.D. Please contact Wally Jacobson if you have any questions about our comments. JKC:mbc Enclosure cc: A. Chotvacs D. Yost Area Foreman File: Crier -,Jacobson Very truly yours, ALBERT CHOTVACS DISTR CT E GINEER John K.-Crier District Planning/Environmental Manager CITY OF FORT COLLINS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION May 23, 1985 Mr. Jim Riegles P.O. Box 9601 Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Jim; Staff has reviewed the Preliminary and Final PUD Submittal for Burger Inn and has the following comments. Revisions reflecting these comments should be submitted no later than noon on June 4th to complete the submittal. Items that can't be shown graphically should be addressed in writing. I suggest we meet at your convenience to review this information. 1. Additional information on storm drainage is needed. Contact Bonnie Tripoli on the extent of data needed. 2. A new fire hydrant should be provided on site. 3. The fire access lane must be dedicated as an easement and meet City standards for turning radii and width. 4. A 10' utility easement should be dedicated on the north and east property lines. 5. A 3/4" water and 4" sewer currently serves the building on the site. They must be used or abandoned. 6. A subdivision plat with all legals must be provided. 7. Curb cuts should be concrete to the property line. 8. A 50' setback from flow line to aisle is required. Since you can not achieve this, a variance should be requested in writing. This vehicular entrance area does not include an adequate level of detail in terms of specification for a final plan, as drawn. 9. 20' of additional right-of-way should be dedicated on College Avenue now. 10. In the Development Agreement, agreement to participate in future College Avenue and alley improvement districts will be required. n GVGI n0n4Gn1T DI AAIAIIAI(, MIN/ICln N1 Burger Inn Comments 5/23/85 - Page 2 11. Temporary improvements to College Avenue may be required. 12. The sidewalk should wrap around curb returns and include pedestrian access ramps. 13. Provide a ramp up to the building and designate a pedestrian crossings from parking to the building. 14. A utility plan should be provided. 15. Show existing buildings on the site plan. 16. Show existing improvements within 150' on the site plan. This includes curb cuts and access drives on both sides of College Avenue. 17. Comments from the State Highway Dept. are attached. We can discuss these in detail when we meet. 18. The left turn onto College may need to be eliminated. 19. Peak hour information in the traffic study is incorrect. 20. Indicate the building envelope and show dimensions. 21. Show the distance from the envelope to at least two property lines. 22. A 500 square foot loading space should be designated. This can be done by restricting hours for certain parking spaces. 23. All signs must comply with the sign code. A freestanding menu board will require a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals if other freestanding or ground signs are proposed. 24. All proposed signage should be shown on the site plan. 25. Signage is a very important aesthetic element. Please provide informa- tion on the type and appearance of proposed signs. 26. The turning radius at the entrance is not adequate for emergency access. 27. All landscaping along College Avenue is shown in the right-of-way. Provide at least 12' of landscaped area on the property. Major vegetation should not be in the ROW. 28. Show quantities on the landscape schedule. 29. Add at least two clusters of coniferous trees to the College Avenue frontage. Burger Inn Comments 5/23/85 - Page 3 30. Additional shrubs should be provided. Staff recommends doubling the amount now shown on the plan. 31. Cluster shrub plantings in groups of three or more for aesthetic appeal and easier maintenance. 32. Provide deciduous trees along the south property line. 33. Planning objectives should be typed up on a separate piece of paper for the Board. Go into more detail on why the project merits a variance from the point charts. Include discussion of City goals and land use policies. 34. Provide land use data on a separate sheet of paper. Attention to detail on these points is crucial since you are requesting preliminary and final approval. Unless all Staff concerns are addressed, we cannot support the plan. The building design is attractive, but an outstanding landscape plan and sign system is also necessary to justify the variance from the point chart. Colored renderings, PMTs, and ten (10) full size copies of the plan for the Board are due on June 14th. All mylars and signed documents are due by June 20th. (Landscape covenants are attached.) If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call. Sincerely, Elaine Kleckner Planner CC: Sam Mutch, Planning Director Bonnie Tripoli, Development Coordinator Larry Mickelson
