Dear Mr. Daggett:
Staff has reviewed the Dunn Elementary School Addition/Remodel
project and offers the following comments:
1. Staff is concerned about the gravel road on the south that
leads to a detention pond and the west side of the building. Is
there a possibility of paving this in order to keep down the dust
for the homes to the south? If it must remain gravel, have you
thought about using recycled asphalt which does not cause as much
dust? The City of Fort Collins Streets Department has been using
recycled asphalt in the older alleys in residential areas with
great success in keeping down fugitive dust. Please note on the
site plan what is the purpose of the road.
2. Will the gravel road be equipped with a gate? If so, please
indicate on the plan.
3. Does the gravel road have a curb cut on Washington? If not,
a curb cut must be installed as traffic will break up the existing
curb and sidewalk.
4. It is unfortunate that the expansion to the east will cause
the removal of two large Spruce trees. In order to compensate for
this loss, are there plans to add trees along Washington or
Mulberry? Staff recommends that the Mulberry frontage be planted
with a combination of foundation shrubs and deciduous shade trees
to mitigate the loss of setback area. Certainly, the three Locust
trees can be relocated along Mulberry. Also, foundation shrubs and
clusters of ornamental trees along Washington would help soften the
appearance of the new addition. Please provide more information on
the landscaping intent.
5. Please indicate the purpose of the dashed line area directly
on the corner of Mulberry and Washington. Is this a future
expansion area? Is this an enclosed play area?
�,� .,.,alp, � •�',� It, _� � -�.� -_ -, , _
6. Please show the gate location on Mulberry and note that the
gates will meet the specifications of the Poudre Fire Authority.
Such gates must be removable during emergency situations.
7. The following information on ramps is provided:
A. Slope should not exceed 1:12.
B. Handrails should be 32 inches high.
C. Surface should be roughened or of slip -resistant
materials.
D. Handrails should extend one foot past the tip and bottom
of the ramp and return to a level post or safety
terminal.
E. Ramp should have a level platform at 30 foot intervals,
and wherever there is a turn.
8. The site plan should provide a vicinity map and square footage
information on what is existing and what is being proposed.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the February 24, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing, please provide 10 prints, one P.M.T., and one colored
rendering of the site plan. If architectural elevations are
available, then this extra information would be very helpful.

Facilities Division
Poudre School District R-1
2407 LaPorte Avenue
Fort Collins, CO. 80521
Dear Mr. Spearnak:
Staff has had the opportunity to review the 11B2" site plan
schematic for New Laurel School and offers the following comments:
1. What is the status of the Traffic Impact Analysis? Will the
results be discussed at the neighborhood meeting on Wednesday,
February 12, 1992? If improvements are identified to mitigate the
traffic impact on the surrounding streets, then these improvements
must be discussed.
2. It is not clear whether the Locust Court to Laurel Street
connection is a one-way or two-way private drive. The site plan
should indicate the direction of traffic flow and that the drive is
not a public street. Also, please indicate the width of this
connection from flowline to flowline.
3. If the connection is the required second point of access for
compliance with Fire Code, then please label as a "Fire Lane".
Also, if required for access, the connection must be equipped with
"No Parking - Fire Lane" signs, and the control gates must meet the
specifications (removable under emergency conditions) of the Poudre
Fire Authority. Please make the necessary notes on the site plan.
4. The site plan should also show the location of the water
lines, fire hydrants, and all fire service lanes.
5. The site plan should indicate the location of the natural
area. We are still operating under the assumption that the natural
area will remain in its present location.
6. Staff is concerned about the delineation of the playground
area and the Laurel Street connection. How will the students know
when the lane is closed or open? Won't this arrangement require an
inordinate amount of adult supervision during the morning and
afternoon bus times? A possible solution would be to provide an
attractive border to the lane with a split rail or western rail
fence to discourage the students from using the lane as play are at
all times.
7. At the terminus of Pennock Place, the plan indicates that
P.V.H. has acquired property, in trade, from the District. This
acquisition should not preclude the potential Pennock/Laurel street
connection as approved in the City's East Side Neighborhood Plan.
It is very important to keep options open to provide access to a
possible neighborhood park and to the Riverside Shopping Center.
Please add language to the plan indicating that the Pennock/Laurel
connection is still a viable transportation goal of the City.
8. Will there be a pedestrian connection or a gate in the
playground fence to allow access from the school property, across
the P.V.H. property to Pennock Place? Such a pedestrian connection
is encouraged as an interim solution until a street is constructed.
9. The sidewalk along the private access lane presently
terminates at the curve. This sidewalk should continue around the
curve to Laurel Street to promote safe pedestrian circulation.
10. Are there any plans to address the narrow sidewalks on Locust
Street? The narrowness of these sidewalks has been an issue in the
past and may need to be looked at.
11. As you are aware, the landscape plan for the Southwest
Elementary School was circulated with the Laurel plans to indicate
typical landscape treatment. Based on those plans, the City
Forester recommends that the Norway Maple be changed to either
Green Ash, Hackberry, Burr Oak, or Linden. Also, planting details
are enclosed to add to the landscape plan.
12. Staff has two concerns with the parking lot. First, there
appears to be an unnecessary drive aisle on the west which serves
no spaces. Second, the path from Elizabeth Street dumps into the
parking lot with no logical connection to the front door. These
two concerns can be remedied by replacing the unnecessary drive
aisle with landscaping and a sidewalk that extends the path from
Elizabeth Street. This will remove students from a vehicular area.
13. The site plan should indicate the location of the bicycle
racks.
14. Please provide notation on the location of the playground
areas, and label what appears to be sand areas. Also, please label
the flagpole, sign, fencing material and height, and other
pertinent site plan elements.
15. Please indicate the square footage of the building.
16. Please provide a vicinity map.
The following comments relate to the Utility Plans and are passed
along for your consideration:
17. A drainage study would be required which should indicate the
location of the 100-year floodplain (in the baseball diamond area).
In addition, an erosion control
note that on -site detention for
required.
plan must be submitted. Please
increased imperviousness will be
18. The Public Service Company will require that all trees be kept
a minimum of four feet from underground gas lines.
19. Any relocations or modifications to the existing electrical
system must be coordinated with the City Light and Power
Department.
20. If the existing water and sewer services are adequately sized,
they may be reused. The existing meter pit must be upgraded to
current City standards. There are numerous existing water and
sewer mains which traverse the site. All must be included in 20
foot wide exclusive utility easements.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note that for
the February 24, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, P.M.T.'s,
10 prints, colored renderings are due Feb. 18, 1992. At this time,
we do not have a landscape plan or architectural elevations. It is
recommended that these be provided as part of the 10 prints so a
complete plan set can be provided to the P & Z Board.
As always, please call if you have any questions.

Ted Shepard
