They will need to sign the plans showing they approve of the work and improvements shown within their easement. 120 Add indemnification statement back onto the cover sheet Department: Light & Power 1 Issue Contact: Bruce Vogel WILL NEED TO COORDINATE TRANSFORMER LOCATIONS. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM WILL BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DEVELOPER. 78 Refer to comments of 9-10-2001 Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore 71 Existing Tree Schedule information is not clear - An additional column should be added to explain which trees are being retained, relocated, replaced, or REMOVED & MITIGATED/ OR NOT MITIGATED. 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. Talked to Louise about this issue on 5/23/02: Louise will contact Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, to see if the trees that are proposed for removal need to be mitigated and if so she will clearly show the mitigation on the plans. 131 Natural Resources has no other issues at this time.

Due to outstanding issues regarding off -site drainage impacts, Adequate Public Facilities, permitted land uses, permitted parking numbers, and the possible need for a revised Transportation Impact Study another round of development review is needed. ***************************************************************************** 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 (970) 221-6341. Yours Truly, *� a — Steve Olt, City Planner Page 9 2. This development is responsible for the design and construction of improvements to the intersection of Midpoint Drive and Timberline Road to enable truck movement without driving over curbs. 3. Platte River Power Authority should sign the plans; or, they should at least provide a letter to the City that clearly states their understanding of the issues regarding impacts to their�easement. The letter should also address whether or not they object to the development plans as submitted. Stormwater They previously made comments about the off -site flows as they pass through this site. 2. They cannot make the situation any worse than they already are on adjacent properties. 3. They cannot add water depth in Timberline Road. 4. They cannot do what they are proposing in the drainage report. 5. Maybe a swale along Timberline Road to Spring Creek is appropriate. 6. This development will have to work with the property owner to the north. Traffic Operations The developers can do final compliance for only one building initially, being Building A or B, and they must build and occupy the first building before a final plan for a second building can be submitted and evaluated against the Adequate Public Facilities criteria. Transportation Planning 1. Bicycle lanes should be striped on Midpoint Drive, if possible. This may require taking parking off of that street. Water/Wastewater 1. The sanitary sewer profile is missing. There is information on that sheet but there is no "picture". Page 8 Topic: General 123 Please reflect bike lanes as part of Midpoint Drive improvements (8') Repeat comment. Midpoint Drive is a Collector roadway. Department: Water Wastewater. Issue Contact: Jeff Hill 15 Show and label locations of proposed and existing gas/electric mains. 125 Provide a profile of the sanitary sewer main on the profile sheet. 126 Will an irrigation tap be needed for this development? 132 Coordinate Site, Landscape, and Civil plans to reflect the same information. See red - lined Site, Landscape, and utility plans for other comments. Topic: Utility plans 89 Label all fitting, valves and lengths of pipe between fitting. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning 119 "General retail" is not a permitted use in the E District. They'll need to rephrase this to "incidental or accessory retail". Separate retail stores are not permitted. Any retail must be accessory to the office or warehouse uses, e.g. Hawthorne Supply (in the Collindale Business Park) as an example. The following concerns and comments were expressed at staff review on July 31, 2002: Engineering 1. A letter of intent from the property owner to the east is needed for an easement for the small piece of driveway into Lot 2 of this development. Page 7 Department: Stormwater Utility Topic: Erosion and Sediment Control 121 Third Review July 30, 2002 Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan There must be a note on the plan indicating clearly what is to be done with reseeding and mulching. Your note explains what the calculations in the report are for. It should say something to the effect that all disturbed areas not immediately landscaped must be reseeded and mulched. Please indicate that the detention area is to be utilized as a sediment trap (gravel filter, overexcavation, whatever) during construction. Topic: Offsite Flows 122 The report states that the low point in the railroad is 100 feet west of Timberline, that is correct however the Spring Creek Master Plan model shows that the 417 cfs flows from the low area on the west side of Timberline eventually makes it across Timberline. If the proposal is to channel the 417 cfs north along Timberline, the applicant needs to analyze how these flows will make it into the Spring Creek channel without raising the ponding elevation in Timberline, or increasing the flooding potential on the adjacent property to the north. Another option is to analyze exactly what portion of the 417 cfs flows currently make it onto your site and show how you can get it through your site without negatively impacting neighboring properties. A detailed hydraulic analysis of the spill across Timberline was done by Northern Engineering during the analysis of the site to the north. However a spill of 75 cfs was modeled, per the old rainfall flows. Much of the basic survey information can be used to analyze the spill with the new 417 cfs flow numbers. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Mark Jackson 27 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 37 Please reflect bike lanes as part of Midpoint Drive improvements (8') Page 6 be 20 feet inside and 40 feet outside. All access roadways must bean all weather driving surface capable of supporting fire apparatus. The surface shall be asphalt, concrete, or compact road base. Additional surface criteria may be obtained from the City or County engineering departments. 97 UFC 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1; PFA Administrative Policy 85-5 NOTE: A fire lane shall be required from the main entrance off Midpoint Drive and continue through the parking lots of Lot's 1 & 2. 7 Address Numerals: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum 10-inch numerals on a contrasting background. 97 UFC 901.4.4 8 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 9 Building Area: Building A exceeds 5000 square feet and must be fire contained or fire sprinklered. 97 UBC Table 9B NOTE: Poudre Fire Authority requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system. 97 UFC 902.4; PFA Policy 88-20 10 Sprink►er Requirements: Building B and C shall be fire sprinklered. NOTE: Poudre Fire Authority requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinklered system or fire alarm system. 97 UFC 902.4; PFA Policy 88-20 Page 5 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) Plans for this improvement will need to be provided and approved prior to final approval of this project if they have not already been received and approved. 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. Because of the APF issues only 1 building can be built - so only 1 building can receive final approval. Thus only that building that receives final approval and its associated needs (sidewalk, parking lot services, driveway, etc) can be built. The rest can not be built or shown on the approved plans. When the other building or buildings can be built they will need to come in for final approval with their own set or sets of plans for the improvements needed to serve that building(s). 107 Will need a letter of intent from the adjacent property owner for the off -site easement prior to being scheduled for a hearing. 128 If any of the proposed uses are changed - the traffic studies will need to be updated. Topic: Site Plan 35 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. Page 3 113 The Traffic Operations Department has evaluated whether either Building A or Building B can be constructed under the Adequate Public Facilities regulation in the Land Use Code. They have determined that only one of the two aforementioned buildings can move forward and submit Final Compliance Plans (Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Building Elevations, utility plans, etc.) for that portion of the development. The Final Compliance Plans shall reflect only the building, associated parking, and improvements for that building requesting final approval. 115 City staff would support the Alternative Compliance Plan for the "Phase 1" parking for either Building A or Building B. However, the plan as submitted does not clearly indicate the vehicle use areas (driveways and parking) that would be constructed with either Building A or Building B. Apparently the plan that was resubmitted has not changed much from the original plan. Please see Diagrams 1 & 2 that are being forwarded with this comment letter. Topic: Landscape Plan 129 A copy of a letter received from Tom McCormick of the Platte River Power Authority is attached to this comment letter. His letter deals primarily with the type of some of the plant materials located within their easement and with safety concerns associated with the location of trash enclosures relative to their easement. Topic: Site Plan 112 The proposed amount of new parking spaces on Lots 1 & 2 (Buildings A, B, and C) is the number allowed by the Land Use Code, based on the parking analysis on the plan. However, depending on what is decided regarding the proposed "General Retail' uses in each building, the numbers may have to be recalculated based on the ultimate amount of floor area for each use. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Topic: General 41 Will need an off -site easement for the driveway construction at the northeast corner of the site. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins r� VF RIPLEY ASSOCIATES Date: 8/6/2002 c/o Louise Herbert 401 West Mountain Avenue, Suitei201 Fort Collins, CO. 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for CENTERPOINT PLAZA PDP, TYPE I (LUC), #35-01, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department Topic: zoning 124 Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt The Site Plan indicates, under the BUILDING USE DATA and Parking Analysis, that there is to be General Retail uses in Buildings A, B, and C. The E - Employment Zoning District does not permit General Retail unless it is located in a Convenience Shopping Center. The Centerpoint Plaza development does not meet the definition of, nor will it function as, a Convenience Shopping Center. The proposed retail uses could be defined as "accessory uses" to principal (primary) uses if they meet the following definition: "Accessory use shall mean a use of land or of a building or portion thereof customarily used with, and clearly incidental and subordinate to, the principal use of the land or building and ordinarily located on the same lot with such principal use." The way the General Retail uses are identified on the Site Plan would indicate that they are intended to be principal (primary) uses not associated with the office or industrial uses. Please refer to Peter Barnes comment (#119) in this comment letter. Topic: Genera/ 130 Depending on what outcome is determined regarding the General Retail land use issue, the Transportation Impact Analysis may have to be modified to reflect traffic impacts associated with this proposed development and how this affects the Adequate Public Facilities issue.
