HomeMy WebLinkAboutKING SOOPERS, MILLER BROS. FOOTHILLS SUB. - NON-CONFORMING USE REVIEW - 14-97 - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)d. The storm sewer may not be adequate for the 100 year runoff. Therefore, parking lot detention may be required to meet present Stormwater Utility criteria. Please contact Glen Schlueter at 221-6589 with any questions regarding these comments. 8. The Poudre Fire Authority offers the following comments: a. The expansion of the fire suppression system may trigger the need for a second riser for water supply. The fire suppression system contractor should be aware of this. b. A 20 feet wide fire lane must be maintained at all times on the west side of the building as this fire lane is the Poudre Fire Authority's only access to the rear of the shopping center. Construction of the proposed expansion may need to be staged to accommodate this fire access requirement. 9. The Current Planning Department offered the following comments: a. As stated by the Zoning Department, the existing shopping center remains classified as a Nonconforming Use. Please refer to Section 1.5.5(A) (Article 1, pages 18 -20) of the Land Use Code for information pertaining to the Planning and Zoning Board's review of the proposed expansion. b. As stated in Section 1.5.5(B) of the Land Use Code "the parcel of ground upon which the building facility, equipment or structure is located shall be brought into compliance with the applicable general development standards contained in Article 3 and the applicable district standards contained in Article 4 (N-C District is Article 4, pages 110-116) of this Land Use Code'. C. A copy of the submittal requirements checklist was provided to the applicant. d. As per the Director of Planning, Section 2.2.2 (Step 2: Neighborhood Meeting) of the Land Use Code has been waived. e. A geographical notification map is attached. The applicant is responsible for obtaining the names and addresses of all property owners within this boundary. Please submit one set of these names and addresses on mailing labels (33 labels per 8.5 x11 sheet), one reproducible copy of the list on 8.5 x 11 sheet(s), and a $0.50 per name notification mailing fee with the development application. f.

Existing and proposed parking needs must be addressed in the submittal information. Please contact Sheri Wamhoff at 221-6750 with any questions regarding these comments. 6. The Building Inspections Department offers the following comments: a. The applicant will need to obtain a separate permit to alter the existing . sprinkler system for the store. The fire suppression system must be continued into the proposed areas of expansion. b. Please contact the Building Inspections Department as soon as possible to discuss the fire wall rating for the south wall of the existing Buckaroos store. The same fire wall rating that exists between the existing King Soopers and Buckaroos will need to be constructed between the south wall of the expanded King Soopers and the remainder of the existing shopping center building. Please contact Sharon Getz at 221-6760 with any questions regarding these comments. 7. The Stormwater Utility offers the following -comments: a. The site is platted as the "Replat of Miller Brothers Foothills Subdivision, Filing 6." It is located in the Canal Importation Drainage Basin. The Stormwater Development Fees for this basin are $6,181 per acre, subject to a runoff coefficient reduction. However, it appears that the proposed expansion is planned for an area that is already paved and therefore will not be creating any additional impervious surface area. Stormwater Development Fees will only apply to any newly created impervious surface area. b. The 1986 drainage report will need to be updated (verify existing grading/drainage patterns and the effects of the expansion on the same) and a standard drainage and erosion control report and plan will need to be prepared by a registered engineer in the State of Colorado. C. The existing storm sewer that runs beneath the existing shopping center would not be allowed if it were proposed today. However, since it is existing, it is "Grand fathered" in. The Stormwater Utility recommends consideration of a safety outlet that would prevent a back up of the storm sewer from entering the building. The applicant may.want to consider adding manholes for this storm sewer. t appears that the Buckaroos portion of the shopping center building may be served by a separate service than the existing King Soopers. The existing Buckaroos service will need to be abandoned if the applicant intends to extend the King Soopers service to the proposed areas of expansion. Please contact Roger Buffington at 221-6681 with any questions regarding these comments. 4. The Engineering Department offers the following comments: a. West Elizabeth Street west of Taft Hill Road has been reclassified as a minor arterial street. The 'h R.O.W. width for a minor arterial is 42 feet from the centerline. Please verify the existing R.O.W. width along West Elizabeth adjacent to this site. Improvements along Elizabeth Street must be in accordance with the minor arterial street standard. b. The Street Oversizing Fee is currently $19,443 per acre for the new portions of the expansion. C. A Transportation Impact Study which addresses vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian levels of service is due at the submittal of the development application. Please contact Eric Bracke of the Transportation Department at 221-6615 with any questions regarding the content or information required in the TIS. d. Standard utility plans must be submitted and a development agreement will be required for all public improvements. 5. The Transportation Planning Department offers the following comments: a. Bicycle, pedestrian and transit accessibility must be addressed in the Transportation Impact Study. b. It appears that two ramps are missing along the pedestrian route to the shopping center from the transit stop on W. Elizabeth (northwest of the King Soopers). C. Bike racks are needed in front of the grocery store for customer use. The applicant should provide bike lockers for employee use. d. There is an existing 10 foot wide walkway from the adjacent residential neighborhood on the west side of the building. Options for a more direct access to the center from this walkway must be addressed in the Transportation Impact Analysis. e. Pedestrian circulation through the parking lot to the store must be clearly designated. Painted, patterned, and/or raised delineations must be provided at the crossings of vehicular drives. �1 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins MEETING DATE: April 14, 1997 ITEM: King Soopers Store #9 Expansion.

The Light and Power Utility stated that there is an existing transformer on the north side of the building which should not be affected by the proposed expansion. If the proposed expansion causes a change in the size of the service required, a "C- 1" electrical use form must be submitted and the transformer may need to be changed at the developers expense. If there is a conflict between the proposed expansion and the existing transformer on the south side of the building which serves the remainder of the center, it must be relocated at the developer's expense.
