This requires a side setback of 7' per 4.9(D)(6)(d). The setback distance isn't shown on the site plan, but it scales to less than 7'.

Department: Zoning Contact: Peter Barnes, 970.416.2355, Rbarnes a@fcgov.com Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/26/2012 11/26/2012: The parking stall depth for residential parking needs to be a minimum of 18'. This distance can be reduced to 16' if the space overhangs a minimum 6' wide landscape area (Sec. 3.2.2(L)(4)). The site plan shows 16' deep stalls, but doesn't dimension the width of the landscape setback. Putting a scale on the drawing, the setback is less than 6% meaning the stalls would need to be Win depth. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/26/2012 11/26/2012: Label the surface material of the parking lot (asphalt or concrete). Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/26/2012 11/26/2012: New 6' privacy fence is labeled along north lot line. A similar fence is required along the south lot line for the parking area. A fence appears to be shown on the plan. Please label the height of the fence and whether its new or existing. ~. the back portion of the site will receive water quality through an extended detention area. 4. The Arthur Irrigation Ditch crosses the property. All improvements must be 10 feet away from both sides of the ditch. If you have questions concerning the ditch contact the President, Mark Taylor at 416-2494 or mtaylor@fcgov.com. He must approve the construction plans prior to Stormwater approval of the plans. Response: An easement has been created for the Arthur Irrigation Ditch. 5. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-fees or contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Design Criteria. Response: Acknowledged 6. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Stormwater Criteria Manual. Response: Acknowledged 7. At the conceptual review meeting a new drawing was shown that proposed parking over the Arthur irrigation ditch which is a concern for the ditch company. Also during a site visit it was noted that there is a concrete slab crossing diagonally across the property. That is the top of the ditch so it is easy to locate. The concern is that the ditch is not structurally sound enough to carry continuous automobile or especially truck traffic loads. Either the ditch will need to be replaced with a box culvert or a structural engineer needs to certify that it is structurally sound to take the loads. It is the experience of the Ditch Company that the ditch section cannot take the traffic loads which is why many street crossings of the ditch have been and are being replaced. Response: The parking lot over the ditch section has been removed. 8. Also during the site visit I noticed that the storm drain in the alley that discharges into the Arthur Ditch is taking flow from an inlet to the south at the alley intersection and even though the pipe flow is to the north, the surface of the alley flows to the south. I don't think this storm drain will be useful to this project even if it was allowed since the alley it the high side of the development site. (Discharges of runoff into irrigation ditches has not been allowed since 1984) Response: Through conversation with Mark Taylor, he has allowed us to discharge continuated runoff from the on -site detention pond to the existing inlet structure.
