Home My WebLink AboutFORT COLLINS DISCOVERY MUSEUM - Filed CS-COMMENT SHEETS - 2011-06-06Fort Collins Project Comments Sheet Selected Departments Department: Engineering Date: March 26, 2010 Project: FORT COLLINS DISCOVERY MUSEUM PDP - TYPE II All comments must be received by Steve Olt in Current Planning, no later than the staff review meeting: March 24, 2010 Note - Please identify your redlines for future reference Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General Number: 71 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The project shows offsite grading work on what appears to be UP Railroad property. The offsite work would require a letter of intent from UP prior to scheduling a public hearing per the PDP submittal requirements. Alternatively, the project could be designed to show no off -site work which would then negate the letter of intent requirement. Number: 72 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The project appears to show some offsite sidewalk and potentially storm sewer work on property owned by Mason Street North, LLC. A letter of intent from that property owner should be provided prior to hearing. Will that property owner be agreeing to the sidewalk maintenance? Number: 73 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] Please indicate on the construction and site plan drawings the width of the sidewalk along Mason Court that is to be added. Number: 74 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] Please show the drive approach out to Mason Court being in concrete to the back of sidewalk (this should also be reserved out on the plat as right-of-way). Number: 75 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The use of a 25' radius for the drive approach onto Mason Court is required to be 15' per Table 8-2 of LCUASS. The radius should be reduced (as a suggestion, if the driveway intersected Mason Court closer to 90 degrees, the turning movement off Mason Court would perhaps be smoother.) , Da e CIECK HEREOF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE COPIES OF REVISIONS _flat Site Drainage Report Other 'L'Kility Redline Utility =/Landscape Page 1 Number: 76 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] There may be a desire by the developer's consultant to seek separate entitlements of first rough grading for the property, and then the remaining utilities, hardscape, building, and final grading with a second entitlement. This appears to be possible, though an expanded City staff should meet with the consultant team to verify what the requirements will be for a final approval for grading only. Number: 77 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The triangular portion of property on the southeast corner of the site (south of BNR) was previously under an obligation to repay the City for the construction of Cherry Street. The dollar amount was for $2,375.40 (plus a percentage added to recognize the effects of inflation). Please be aware that this obligation would be carried over on this project, with the additional Cherry Street frontage west of that portion also needing to be included. In addition, it appears repays would be required for the frontage along College Avenue, and a repay may be required from the developer of Mason Street North for the frontage on Mason Court. Number: 78 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/101 As a heads -up, per an earlier email I had sent on 2/3/2010, the following approach shall be used in lieu of a development agreement for the project: - A development agreement will not be done for the project. - Instead of a DA, needed provisions that would have been in a development agreement will be placed on the plat. - These provisions needing to be placed on the plat are specific to concerns regarding ongoing maintenance/"running with the land" types of provisions. Items that would pertain to construction of the development should not be included. - There are a few standard conditions in the typical development agreement that will be included on the plat after consultation with Paul. I'm also understanding that there will be special condition type language added to the plat pertaining to at least stormwater and natural areas. Finally repays for public streets fronting the project would likely need to be included on the plat. Number: 96 Created: 3/25/2010 [3/24/101 Sheri Langenberger calculated an additional $573.25 required for the TDR fee (see attached) based upon mainly the fidning of a higher building square footage than what was indicated on the TDR fee application. Given that there may be some changes reducing the area being platted, there could be some savings to offset the additional amount owed. Number: 97 Created: 3/25/2010 [3/25/10] The following are the items that I believe should be resolved prior to the public hearing for the project: #71/#72 - either a letter of intent from UP Railroad/Mason Street North, LLC or revise the drawings to no longer show work being done outside of the property. #79 - the establishment of the platted boundary (as a result of the staff review discussions), reflected on all the drawings. Page 2 #82 - further follow-up on the findings of the TIS with direction on whether the need for a crossing improvement on Cherry Street is needed (and if so, what will it be and how/who will construct?) or the findings of the TIS are amended or changed to indicate the improvement isn't required. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 81 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] It appears that street trees aren't being provided along the Cherry, Mason, and College fronting the property? Topic: Plat Number: 79 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The platted boundary seems to show areas that may require the signature of one or both railroad companies on the plat. Confirmation from the appropriate City attorney who will be certifying the plat should be coordinated as soon as possible to understand what may be needed from the railroad companies in order to meet the requirements for the City attorney to sign off on the plat. The indication of a railroad easement to be vacated by this plat appears to be odd if intending to truly "vacate" as this would imply signature from that railroad company being needed. Number: 80 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] The plat should be showing the establishment of a right-of-way area/alignment that would correspond to the back of sidewalk for Mason Court. (Upon property transfer such that the City no longer owns the area within the platted boundary, this section would be reserved to become public right-of-way). Number: 83 Created: 3/24/2010 [3/24/10] Technical Services has raised the question as to whether the original Mason Street north of Cherry has ever been vacated. If this is truly right-of-way, given the conveyance of the property to the Discovery Museum, we should probably check with the City Attorney's Office on whether this portion potentially being right-of-way and then conveyed to the Discovery Museuem is problematic or not. Should that be viewed as problematic, a vacation process of Mason Street should perhaps proceed as soon as possible. Topic: TIS Number: 82 Created: 3/23/2010 [3/23/10] Should through the conclusion of the analysis of the TIS result in some sort of pedestrian crossing improvement on Cherry Street, the design and specifications of such an improvement will need to be shown on the construction and site plan drawings.
