Re: Confluence - Preliminary Plan - Second Review
COMMENTS:
These comments are based on a review of Preliminary, Plans dated December. 9, 2005 an
received December 129 2005 submitted in conjunction with Applications dated August 4,
2005 for PUD Zoning and Preliminary Subdivision approval for The Confluence. These
comments are offered for discussion and consideration purposes only. Subsequent
comments and conditions will be developed as recommended, conditions for approval
pending response to the following:
1. Avon Road access.should include all improvements recommended in Felsburg
Holt & Ullevig traff c analysis.
a. Minimum length turn lane and transition.,,:
b. extended median from the north for.left turns onto Hurd Lane east
A. Avon Road Improvements must include sidewalk equivalent to existing
sidewalk and crosswalks must be continuous across entrance from Avon
Road.
B. Entrance width for right turns in should be reduced to a width typically
consistent with` a single lane entrance.
C. Entrance configuration is confusing and appears to possibly create
conflicting vehicle movements for Right in /Left in and Left in /Right
out actions.
D. Subdivision Variance will be required for proposed 56'foot curve radius
on Riverfront.Drive'at the entrance'to Avon Road Minimum allowed
curve radius is 100 feet .
2. Consider raised pedestrian crosswalk across Avon Road between Confluence
and Hurd Lane (Nottingham Station)
A. Pedestrian crosswalk across Avon Road on South side of entrance is
recommended to provide a continuous connection from the proposed
bike on the Confluence Site to the Bikepath on the East Side of Avon,
Road along Hurd Lane.
3. Extend Avon Road median from the south for left turns into Confluence Site
A. Shown on Revised Drawings
4. Increase minimum right-of-way width of Riverfront Drive from 50 feet to 60 feet
with 10 foot wide sidewalk along south side and with limited on-street parking
I:\Engineering\Con fluence\SubdivisionTrel iminary\Review-2. Doc
A. Limited on-street parking has been provided and sidewalk.width from •
Eagle River Bikepath connection to western railroad crossing is shown
as 10 feet
A Sidewalk width should be increased to 10 feet from Eagle River
Bikepath connection to Eastern railroad crossing to connect with
separated pedestrian crossing in event at grade crossing are eliminated
5. Eastern railroad crossing should be designed for primary use as a pedestrian
crossing and secondary use as a vehicle crossing .
A. Crossing intersection with Riverfront Drive and connection to railroad
crossing should be upgraded to be compatible with Transit Center and
Railroad Crossing Designs which are currently under development.
6. Eastern railroad crossing and surrounding area should be designed to
accommodate'a functional grade separated pedestrian crossing
A. Shallow utilities should be relocated away from railroad R/W in vicinity
of eastern crossing to allow room for possible relocation raw water line
and sewer transmission line to accommodate possible separated grade.
pedestrian crossing.
B. Storm sewer should be relocated in vicinity of eastern railroad crossing
to avoid potential conflicts with possible separated pedestrian crossing.
7. Riverfront Drive should be designed with pedestrian dominant crossing from
eastern railroad crossing to Pedestrian Plaza/Gondola
A. Pedestrian crossing appears to be upgraded, but needs to be expanded to
be compatible with Transit Center/Railroad Crossing Design which are
currently under development
8. Riverfront Drive should be designed with cul-de-sac at western railroad crossing
in the eventuality that railroad is reactivated and western railroad access is
ordered closed.
A. Cul-de-Sac R/W does not appear to have full 90 foot diameter as
discussed R/W diameter of less than 100 feet will require application
and approval of Variance from Subdivision Regulations.
B. Proposed site development and grading plans should include all grading
as required for construction of the cul-de-sac with initial road design
and construction.
C. Riverfront Drive Road Plans should be based on construction of cul-de-
sac with alternate design for road construction without paved cul-de-sac.
A Variance from Subdivision Regulations will be required for proposed 87
foot centerline radius on Riverfront Drive at the, railroad crossing.
Minimum allowed radius 100 feed
9. Flatten slopes adjacent to'roads and sidewalks to at least 3:1 and preferably 4:1
for appearance and maintenance purposes
A. .This is shown on revised plans.
10. "Railroad Transit" areas should be graded to match proposed street and railroad
crossing grades in the area.
A. This is shown on revised plans.
•
I:\Engineering\ConFluence\SubdivisionTreliminary\Review-2. Doc 2
11.
"Railroad Transit" areas appear to be of limited value. due to shape, size and
encumbrances with utility and drainage facilities - consider including in
Riverfront Drive right-of-way rather than creating separate parcels
A. This is shown on revised plans.
12'.
Proposed development at western end of site encroaches into existing bikepath
easement - Realigned Bikepath and Easement should include 10 ..-12 foot wide
ADA compliant path connecting Eagle River Trail to western railroad crossing
A. ECO Trails Committee has requested consideration be given to widening
the existing path along: the Eagle. Rives,..
B. The alignment of the proposed bike relocation appears to have tighter
radius curves and a less desirable alignment than currently exists.
C. The proposed alignment of Bikepath connecting.the. Eagle River path
with the path along Riverfront Drive does not appear to meet desired
standards. Typically the.minimum recommended centerline curve
radius for a Bikepath is 36 feet
D. Dedicated easements should be provided for all bike paths including
connection from existing Eagle River path to• Riverfront Drive and from
Eagle River path to Avon Road
13.
Western. railroad crossing should be designed with 10 -.12 foot wide
bicycle/pedestrian path to provide connection from path along.Eagle River to
Town Center and Nottingham Park
A. This is shown on current plans.
14.
Proposed Gondola location is in 100 year flood plain - I am not aware of any
structure in the Town of Avon that has been approved in-the.100 year flood plain
A. Flood plain permit will be coordinated through Eagle County.
B. Building Permit will require certifications with elevations to assure
structure is protected from flooding.
15.
Consider locating Gondola to the north, closer to, and more visible from Town
Center and-the eastern railroad crossing
A. Gondola has been shifted to north and east and adjacent. building
envelope has been revised to improve visibility from railroad crossing
and town core.
B. Easements for View Corridor and Public Pedestrian Plaza Area should
be provided
16.
Lot 3 does not have minimum 25 foot frontage on a public street and as such
would require a variance designating this, as a public open .space tract under
Land Use should resolve this issue without affecting ownership of parcel
A. We recommend that Lot 3 be designated as a Tract rather than a Lot..
B. Boundary should be revised to connect with the boundary of Tract A.
C. Land Use designation. should be consistent an Open space Tract.
17.
PUD does not.appear to specify building setbacks from public right-of-way -
some minimum distance may be desirable from both a residential and street
maintenance aspect
A. Building setback from Riverfr. ont Drive is especially critical for site
•
distance and safety in the vicinity of parking structure access points.
I:\Engineering\Confluence\Subdivision\Preliminary\Review-2. Doc 3
18. Right-in / right-out only at access from Avon Road would divert more traffic into
`
with possible spin-off benefits
Town Center
A. See comments, under Number 1 above for issues related to entrance
design.
19: Proposed_sewer lift station is not necessarily a desirable feature along side a
heavily used bikepath and especially so if maintenance vehicle access is on the
path
A.' .',Proposed location of sewer lift station appears to be in the Bikepath,
Flood Plain and Wetlands. It should be relocated to an area outside all
these features.
20. Storm Drain facilities in pedestrian plaza area. do not appear to be accessible by
maintenance vehicles or in an area compatible with required maintenance,
activities
A. Storm Drain facilities have been relocated out of Pedestrian Plaza area. -
B. Relocated storm drain facilities should be moved away from, building to
avoid possible structure damage from. leaking-or overflowing storm
drainage and to provide adequate space for maintenance.
C. Storm Drain Facilities located on Riverfront Drive RIW line should be
relocated to provide adequate space for maintenance-'or an access and
maintenance easement should be provided
D. Access easements should be provided to sandloil interceptors for
maintenance of facilities.
