HomeMy WebLinkAboutCENTERPOINT PLAZA - PDP - 35-01 - CORRESPONDENCE - (6)4. The Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) has an exclusive easement along the
south side of this property. Any development in this easement will require
approval from PRPA and they must sign the appropriate plans.
Traffic Operations
They are still evaluating the APF situation to determine if the developers can
build either Building A or Building B at this time.
2. Traffic Operations needs "highway capacity sheets". This is critical.
3. Should there be a short term median in Timberline Road adjacent to this
property? Engineering will determine the need.
4. This developer must enlarge and repair the radius for the northbound right -turn
into Midpoint Drive from Timberline Road.
Transportation Planning
1. Will future Timberline Road improvements affect building locations in this
development?
2. What improvements to Midpoint Drive will be required with this development?
Will there be bike lanes and parking on the street?
3. What kind of pedestrian connection will there be to the south, across the
railroad tracks?
Current Planning
I did not receive a revised Lighting Plan to review.
........................................................................... 1
This completes staff comments at this time. Additional comments may be
forthcoming. This development request is subject to the 90-day revision re -
submittal (from the date of this comment letter) as set forth in Section
2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when
you re -submit.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this
project, please feel free to call me at 221-6341.

submittal.
See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments.
The following comments and concerns were expressed at staff review on May 8tr':
Engineering
1. The project phasing is not consistent on all the plans.
2. The street trees along Timberline Road may be in the future street
improvements. They should be moved to the east, closer to the future 7' wide
sidewalk, to minimize adverse impacts from street improvements.
3. Because of Adequate Public Facilities (APF) restrictions due to street
constraints, per Section 3.7.3 of the Land Use Code, only one building (possibly
either A or B) can gain final approval and be constructed at this time. The Final
Compliance plans, when submitted, may reflect only one building and
associated infrastructure.
Stormwater
1. The storm water overflow over Timberline Road must handle 400 cubic feet per
second or wait until City improvements to Timberline Road are implemented
using new numbers.
2. The outfall from the site presently goes into an abandoned irrigation ditch. This
is not acceptable. The detention facility is not sized correctly.
3. There is a proposed detention pond close to the railroad tracks. The property
owners will need a license from the Great Western Railroad to grade into their
easement.

Topic: Project Phasing
22
The report states that Lot 2 will be developed at a later stage, however no interim
plans were provided. Please submit a phasing plan showing what will be built with
Phase 1, and how the undeveloped portion of the site will be graded in the interim
condition.
Topic: PRPA Easement
95
The PRPA non -buildable easement on the site would conflict with the construction of
the detention pond and some parking. Will such a restriction affect the ability to
construct any improvements in this easement. Please provide PRPA approval for
any construction work that is being proposed within that easement.
Topic: Utility plans
99
Please discuss what will happen to the drainage flows coming off of Timberline in
the interim condition, since no improvements to Timberline are being proposed, will
this area be graded to direct off -site flows coming on to the site from the west to the
north ?
Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Mark Jackson

APF Concerns
I have serious concerns regarding this project's anticipated impacts to the
Timberline/Prospect area as they relate to the City's APF ordinance. I would like to
have the applicant meet with Eric Bracke and possible other APF departments.
37
Please reflect bike lanes as part of Midpoint Drive improvements (8')
Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill

REPEAT COMMENT: Provide utility easements for all water/sewer mains, curb
stops and fire hydrants.
15
Show and label locations of proposed and existing gas/electric mains.
Page 9
Calculations indicate "dryland grass". Where is this on the plan, are areas to be
reseeded/mulched, if so where, when (note on the plan)?
Second Review
May 7, 2002
One or more of the previous comments have not been addressed. Please do so.
Topic: Grading In Railroad Right of Way
94
The proposed grading in the railroad right of way will necessitate that a license to
grade be obtained from the railroad company.
Topic: Offsite Flows
93
The recently updated (February 2002) Spring Creek master drainage plan shows
that there is a 417 cfs spill from the west side of Timberline that comes across this
site. The site would experience shallow flooding in a 100 year storm, thus you need
to show how this site will handle such offsite flows.
Topic: Outfall Issues
21
The site is proposing to release from the detention pond into an abandoned irrigation
ditch through the Prospect Industrial Park. Since this ditch in its existing condition
does not meet minimal standards required by the City, it is suggested that some
improvements be made downstream in the interim until the downstream site is
developed and the outfall situation is improved.
Topic: Outlet Box Detail
98
Please provide an appropriate detail for the detention/water quality pond outlet box,
with detention orifice plate size, water quality orifice plate, trash rack, water surface
elevations, spill elevation, etc...
Topic: Plat
96
The proposed drainage easement overlaps the existing PRPA non -buildable
easement. PRPA will need to sign off on the plat.

Lighting: The following areas have need additional lighting to meet minimal security -
1)area between Bldg A and Bldg B (west) end; 2) trash area at SW corner, and;
3)both access points to Bldg A at north end.
Topic: Site Plan
100
May 2002: Inadequate lighting between building A and B. SW trash enclosure light
still below minimum (0.7fc). Landscape materials at NE corner of Building A pose
potential security risks.

Water Quality Pond:
Please explain why the water quality pond has concrete pans in it. This seems to
defeat the purpose of a Water Quality Pond.
Please provide a water quality outlet structure for the extended detention pond.
None was shown.
69
Landscape Plan:
There is no proposed Landscape Plan for the pond area, please provide one.

First Review
September 27, 2001
The plan shows straw bales on concrete pans. This doesn't work, please correct.
City of Fort Collins erosion control notes are not the plan.

Example: #19 Cottonwood Stand is being lost due to the construction of the drive
isle. #19 needs to be labeled removed and mitigated to clearly show what is going
on and clearly define what mitigation must be done.

The railroad spur easement - who is this dedicated to? Is it being dedicated to the
City as a public easement?
Topic: Site Plan

Show the future 7-foot sidewalk along Timberline Road. It would be best to not have
dual walks along here. Widen out the 5-foot walk on site to meet the 7-foot standard
or build and use the 7-foot walk to meet the connection needs you are showing.
5/7/02 Need to show the sidewalk as being built - it will be needed to connect to
building B if that is the building to be built. Will need a sidewalk connection that does
not cross a drive isle.
41
Will need an off -site easement for the driveway construction at the northeast corner
of the site.
79
The phasing numbering differs on the utility plans
80
Phase line locations differ from the utility plans
105
Need a note on the plan indicating future potential shared access with the property
to the east along the eastern property line of lot 2.
Topic: Utility plans

The sidewalk on Midpoint needs to be placed so that the back of walk abuts the new
row edge. 5/7/02 not correct on all sheets
61
Will need off -site easements for the seweF GGnneGtOOR within the railFead prop"
an44eFthe driveway access point that partially falls outside the property boundary.

74
As was previously discussed this development can provide the city with a cash
escrow for the design and construction of the local street portion of the
improvements to Timberline Road adjacent to the site in lieu of doing this work at
this time.
75
This development needs to work with the developers of Spring Creek Center in
accomplishing the improvements that are needed at the midpoint Timberline
intersection to accommodate truck traffic at this intersection. Improvements to this
intersection will be a condition of approval. (per Traffic)
Topic: General
106
Once this project has gone to hearing (assuming one building and only one building
can be built) the Final Plan submittal will need to only show the work and
infrastructure for the one building to be built. All extra stuff and other building sites
and services will need to be taken off of the plans. Can only put in the infrastructure
for the one building.
107
Will need a letter of intent from the adjacent property owner for the off -site easement
prior to being scheduled for a hearing.
Topic: Landscape Plan
44
The trees and landscaping along Timberline road need to be planted so that they are
not where the future walk is to be located or beyond .where the potential future curb
line will be based on the major arterial design and the row location.
81
There is no phasing shown on this plan
Topic: Plat
46
Show the off -site easements that are needed. Indicate that they are to be provided
by separate document.
103
The access easement on Lot 2 needs to extend to the eastern property line to
provide for potential future shared access.
Page 3
110
More landscape screening is needed around the 2 trash enclosures south of
Building B. See the red -lined Landscape Plan.
ill
Note #13 on the Landscape Plan must indicate that the security for the landscaping
is for the materials and installation. Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan.
116
Because the ultimate east edge of Timberline Road adjacent to this property is not
yet determined the Summit Ash street trees as shown should be moved to the east,
Toff of the west edge of the future 7' wide sidewalk. This will minimize potential
adverse impacts to the trees. Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan.
117
The westernmost Marshall's Ash street tree along Midpoint Drive may have to be
eliminated due to the possibility that the turning radius from Timberline Road into
Midpoint Drive may have to be increased, potentially impacting that tree.
Topic: Site Plan
101
The Burlington Northern Railroad, along the southwest side of this site, is now the
Great Western Railroad.
112
The proposed amount of new parking spaces on Lots 1 & 2 is 28 spaces over what
is allowed by the Land Use Code, based on the parking analysis on the plan. When
calculating industrial parking allowances (0.75 spaces per employee) the number of
employees should be multiplied by 0.75, not divided.
114
There are two separate trash enclosure locations shown on the south side of
Building B on Lot 1. Are both of these trash enclosures needed?
Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff
32
An adequate public facilities (APF) analysis needs to be done for this project as was
identified on Attachment'A' Transportation Impact Study Base Assumptions of the
TIS. It appears that there will be APF issues on this project. This is needed before
the project can consider going forward. 5/7/02 This was done for Building A
construction or Building B construction. These studies need the highway capacity -
sheets provided in order to adequately evaluate the studies.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for CENTERPOINT PLAZA PDP, TYPE I (LUC),
#35-01, and we offer the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Topic: General
113
The Traffic Operations Department is evaluating and determining if either Building A ter
or Building B can be constructed under the Adequate Public Facilities regulation in
IV
the Land Use Code. Definitely only one building can move forward and submit Final
Compliance Plans for that portion of the development. The Final Compliance Plans 9\ l"
shall reflect only the building, associated parking, and improvements for that building
requesting final approval. ;o (,
115 Cf
City staff will not be supporting the Alternative Compliance Request for the "phase 1"
parking for either Building A or Building B. Continuous paved access for emergency
and service/delivery vehicles can be made for either Building A or Building B without
constructing all the parking spaces. Please see Diagrams 1 & 2 that are being
forwarded with this comment letter.
Topic: Landscape Plan
108
The landscaping on Lot 1, around Buildings A & B and in the landscaped islands,
has been decreased significantly from the first submittal. Why is this?
109
The loading/service area south of Building B is unscreened from Timberline Road.
Landscaping meeting the screening requirements of the Land Use Code is needed.
