Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80525 RE: # 19-02 Comfort Dental PDP Dear Mr. Shepard, 0 SOUTH FORT COLLINS SANITATION DISTRICT The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District have reviewed the above mentioned project and submit the following comments. The owner will need to complete the District's Industrial Wastewater Questionnaire. The questionnaire can be obtained from the District's office. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-3104, ext. 14, if you have any questions or require additional information. Respectfully, erry W. Farrill Systems Engineer RECEIVED SEP 11 2002 CURRENT PLANNING xc: Mr. Michael D. DiTullio, District Manager Sear Brown 5150 Snead Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 Phone (970) 226-3104 Fax (970) 226-0186 A If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Sincerely: 0000, Ted Shepard Chief Planner Enc. Page 7 unplug the culvert is being determined, but will need to be unplugged before site construction. The storm sewer still needs to be built on this site for the ultimate condition to serve as Harmony Roads future drainage if filling in the ditch is desirable for site plan and landscaping purposes. The pond can not release onto Harmony due to CDOT not allowing any more drainage ( flow rate or volume of runoff) onto their right- of-way. The pond will have to drain to the storm sewer or drainage ditch. 61 ' Due to the pond being close to the right-of-way, please assure that future right-of-way expansions( another lane, acceleration lane) will not disrupt the detention pond and facilities. 63 There is only .1 feet of freeboard for parts of the ponds. Please provide 1-foot of freeboard to the top of the pond berms and to any structures. See redlined grading plan. Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control 62 1. One of the erosion control notes mentions that the stream water will be pumped around the construction of the channel for the lower 800 feet of channel reconstruction. Where is this? 2. Even though the site is small, there should be PS and EFF calculations. Occasionally on a very small plan the plan won't justify with the calculations, but normally it will. 3. There are notes on the plan indicating types of seed, mulch, etc, but no note stating what your report says, which is that disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched. Please add. 4. The escrow for the property should be what the current specs call for, which is the sum of the BMP costs x 150%. 5. The report indicates that a sediment dam will be constructed following construction of the detention pond. Please indicate this on the plan in some manner. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff Topic: General K 53 Please identify the drive aisle from Harmony Road to the edge of the eastern property line as an access easement that allows for cross access between parcels and for a shared access point to Harmony Road in case the Poudre Fire Dept. decides to expand in the future. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols Topic: General 4 Please show parking stall back-up distance on site plan This concludes Staff comments at this time. Pleases be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. Page 6 Department: PFA Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Topic: Site Plan 48 Required Access: A fire lane is required. The fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed. 97 UFC 901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1;FCLUC 49 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 brick are not acceptable) 97 UFC 901.4.4 50 Water Supply: No commercial building can be greater then 300 feet from a fire hydrant. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1500 gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. 97 UFC 901.2.2.2 Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage 10 The proposed detention volume only includes sub -basin 2 in the calculations, not the entire site. Sub -basin 1 drains undetained and is being developed. Sub -basin 3 is not being altered or developed and may be able to free release, but still requires it to be accounted for in the FAA method detention volume calculation. Also, for any sub -basin that free releases, the developed 100-year flow needs to be subtracted from the 2-year historic flow for the whole site (detention pond release rate) to determine the new pond release rate. This would apply to sub -basins 1 and 3. This may result in a negative release rate for the pond. Since sub - basin 3 is not being altered, a variance request may be looked at for the free release rate not being subtracted, but only with unique circumstances. Please revise pond calculations. Repeat Comment - 9/25/02 - Basin 3 is OK with free releasing and not having it be included in the site detention calculations Basin 1 needs to be detained and included in the FAA calculations. Sites with this same issue in the past have built an on -grade inlet in the street at the far downstream corner of the lot designed to pick up only the flows K contributed by their site and half of their street frontage. 11 The stormsewer along Harmony road needs to be sized for the ultimate condition for all basins that currently drain to the irrigation ditch. This includes the widening of Harmony Road to six lanes and any upstream flows not in the Harmony Right -of -Way. Also, if there is irrigation water that still flows through the ditch, then that needs to be accounted for as well. Repeat Comment - 9/25/02 The ditch is acting as drainage for Harmony Road that CDOT improved some time in the past. The culvert is plugged underneath Hogan Drive from the construction of the pedestrian crossing and sidewalk at this location which was discovered in our staff review meeting this week. This culvert has to be unplugged, and the ditch needs to function as Harmony Road's drainage. Who will Page 5 9/20/2: Repeat: TIS: Even though Eric Bracke with Traffic Engineering waived the City's TIS requirements, CDOT still has requirements for their state highway access permit which cannot be waived. You will still need to provide an abbreviated traffic memo that would state the traffic numbers generated by this project and whether or not an Accel/Decel lane is required for this project. Please see the original comment above. For Mr. Bracke's assistance in preparing this memo, please call 970-221-6630. If Mr. Bracke is not available, his assistant, Mr. Ward Stanford would be available as well. CDOT: Repeat: Please provide the separation distance between Hogan and the proposed driveway entrance. Please see original comment above. Can put this on the utility sheet or the off -site sidewalk improvements page - whichever is easier. CURB RETURN RADII: The curb return table referenced above for the driveway entrance was correct, however, I incorrectly stated that the radii must be 25'. The correct radii according to the table is 20'. I apologize for the inconvenience and additional work I know I have caused you, but the design will need to be changed and coordinated among the different plan sets. 32 5/15/2: Dedicate the additional ROW and utility easements, label and dimension all sheets, including Landscape and Site plans. 9/20/2: Please dimension the ROW and Back Of Walk from the median - I can't tell if where the ROW is or if we have enough. Also, please label all existing utility easements as existing. 39 5/15/2: Provide Developer and Owners names, addresses, and phone numbers. 9/20/2: The Developer/Owner info must be shown on the cover sheet of the Utility Plans. 51 9/20/2: The off -site sidewalk needs to be designed to standard where it terminates at Hogan. Please see redlines and C3-1866 for the improvements that went in with the Harmony Shopping Center development. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric 1 The nearest available power is on the north side of Harmony Rd., approximately 350 ft. west of this site. The boring is subject to feasibility based on soil conditions. The Utility will bear the cost of the bore and the applicant will be responsible for normal electric development charges. Also, the developer will be required to provide off -site easements along the south side of Harmony, west approximately 350 ft. The developer is encouraged to work with the two adjacent property owners to the west to dedicate the full right-of-way for Harmony Road versus a utility easement. Mr. Martine can be reached at 970-221-6700 for assistance. Page 4 24 5/15/2: Dedicate an access easement for the property to the east. Since you are not replatting, all ROW, utility and temporary construction easements must be dedicated by separate document and the plans cannot be signed-off/approved until those are obtained. A Letter of Intent on deeded easements must be provided prior to the Type I (administrative) hearing. (It appears that you will need to obtain temporary construction easements from both of the neighboring properties to do the ditch piping and sewer connections). 9/20/2: This comment still stands. A cross connection to the property to the east (PFA) is required per the Harmony Corridor Access Control Plan, however, it does not need to be constructed at this time. Please dedicate a "Public Access Easement" through the parking lot as shown in the redlines allowing for future cross access. One temporary construction easement is still needed to construct the off -site sidewalk connection. The ditch easement needs to be abandoned or vacated and a new drainage easement must be dedicated in its place. Please contact the Stormwater Utility for their requirements. A CDOT Highway Access Permit is required. CDOT also stated that the proposed drive must lie within the existing driveway configuration to avoid any A -Line issues. As long as you are not changing the location, CDOT will not require that you change the A -Line. In addition, the entrance must be designed to City standards. See detail 7-29B for the high volume drive. Your driveway can be 24' - 36' wide with a 25' curb return radii - see 8.2.9 of LCUASS. The driveway must also meet state separation requirements of 400' from Hogan, PCR to PCR. It appears that you are approximately 390' from Hogan and that is acceptable, per Tess Jones with CDOT. She will not require a waiver. Please show this and dimension the separation on your plans, however, so that the actual distance can be verified. Please be aware that even though your project's traffic volumes does not require the Accel/Decel lane, the project to the west (Lot 3) most likely will. A proposal has been submitted to the City conceptually for either townhomes or an apartment complex. Staff believes that the volumes generated by that future project will require the Accel/Decel lanes on Harmony Road. The client should be aware that such future development may potentially require additional land area along the front of Comfort Dental. Such additional land area would have to be purchased by the future potential developer of the adjacent property in the event that an Accel/Decel lane is required. Harmony Road is designated as a 6-lane arterial on the Master Street Plan. The ROW requirements per detail 7-1F of LCUASS is 141'total ROW plus an additional 12' for the Accel/Decel lane, and 15' utility easement either side. Since Harmony Road is a State Highway, additional ROW is required because the State does not count the median's gutterpan as part of the travel lane. Your project will be required to dedicate their half of an arterial street section plus the additional 15' utility easement. The total ROW required from the middle of the median is 83.5' plus the 15' utility easement. This figure is arrived by adding 9.5' for half of the median, 1' for the median's pan, 12'travel, 12'travel, 12'travel, 12' accel/decel lane, 8' bike lane, 10' parkway, and a T sidewalk. Page 3 55 9/24/2: Show and label the Public Access Easement through the parking lot - see utility plan comments. Topic: Site Plan 16 5/15/2: Coordinate comments from the Utility Plans. 54 9/24/2: Label the 10' parkway, ROW, and utility easement as "proposed" instead of "future" as shown now. These are being dedicated with this project 56 9/24/2: Show and label the Public Access Easement through the parking lot - see utility plan comments. 57 9/24/2: Remove Note #10 - the ditch easement must be abandoned with this project. However, it must be rededicated as a storm water drainage easement. Please contact Wes Lamarque with the Stormwater Utility, 970-221-6700. 58 9/24/2: Note #22 - Insert the word "Existing" 59 9/24/2: Please label all existing easements as "existing" and proposed easements as "proposed". 64 9/24/2: Show the off -site sidewalk improvements. The Site Plan must match the utility plans. Topic: Utility Plans 21 5/15/2: Provide a CDOT signature block. 9/20/2: CDOTs signature block must be provided on each sheet as well as the cover sheet. Also, provide CDOTs general notes. Please email me at sjoy@fcgov.com and I will email those notes to you. 23 5/15/2: Drawing Index: Change the sheet name for pages CS601 and 602 to match the individual sheets. 9/20/2: Changes made as requested, however, now sheet CS602 only has LCUASS details. Please remove the words "Detention Pond Outlet Structure" Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins RUDD & ASSOC. ARCHITECTS Date: 10/1/2002 C/O MIKE RUDD OR ANDY LEMMER 13050 W. 43RD DR. #200 GOLDEN, CO 80403 Staff has reviewed your submittal for COMFORT DENTAL PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General 65 9/24/2: The proximity of the ditch and the off -site sidewalk has been determined to be a safety issue. There are 3 options for the owner to examine and any one of these is acceptable to the City. The first option is to leave the sidewalk where it is so that the owner can be reimbursed by PFA and the S treet-Oversi zing Program in the future and install a handrail. The second option is to leave it where it is and place the ditch within a pipe. The third option is to make the sidewalk a temporary asphalt sidewalk and pull it farther to the south. The temporary sidewalk would not be eligible for reimbursements and require a larger access easement, but it would save the owner the expense of piping the ditch. The existing ditch may be abandoned by the ditch company but it has become a stormwater conveyance of sorts. This existing easement would need to be vacated and then rededicated as a drainage easement. The existing ditch is currently blocked at Hogan and will need to be cleared but this is NOT the developer's responsibility. It was determined that the ditch was inadvertently filled in with the Harmony Shops development across the street and will be corrected by another party. Please contact the Stormwater Utility, 970-221-6700, for their requirements on placing the ditch within a pipe. - Topic: Landscape Plan 19 5/15/2: Show and label all easements and ROW. 9/24/2: Label the 10' parkway, ROW, and utility easement as "proposed" instead of "future" as shown now. These are being dedicated with this project. Show the off -site sidewalk improvements and be sure that this set matches the utility plans. 20 5/15/2: Coordinate comments from the utility plans. Page 1
