Albertson -Clark
Gave staff report recommending Planning and Zoning Board
recommendation subject to 36 -foot wide streets and curb,
gutter, and sidewalks on all interior subdivision
streets.
Gilfillan:
Asked if there had been neighborhood meetings, or if
staff had received comments from neighborhood.
Albertson -Clark:
Indicated neighborhood meetings were not held on County
Referrals and no comments had been received from the
neighbors.
Bill Wyatt:
Representing applicant, Willard Holz. Stated a petition
had been filed with the County signed by approximately 80
percent of the Lindenwood 3rd Filing homeowners re-
questing.the design standards of the Lindenwood 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd Filings be maintained throughout the replatting
of this 3rd Filing. Mr. Holz talked to the owners in the
3rd Filing and all owners expressed their desire for
maintaining these design standards. Passed a letter to
Board members from Water Supply & Storage. Indicated
concern of Water Supply and Storage and Mr. Johnson was
over the gradual slope of the lake and if waters are
channeled, rather than dispersed, problems could arise.
Since no problems had occurred with the 32-foot roadways
in channeling they would like to maintain the roads.
Also the road cutting through this area has previously
been approved with the 32-foot base, without curbs and
gutters; therefore, only a couple cul de sacs are being
addressed.
Gilfillan:
Indicated concern was with agreements between City and
County and maintenance agreements.
Albertson -Clark:
Indicated current Lindenwood Filings were developed prior
to the establishment of the Intergovernmental Agreement.
From initial contact with applicant the City design
criteria has been indicated. Neighborhood facilities
(tennis courts) are being provided, and Tavelli school is
in close proximity and possible justification for
providing a pedestrian linkage to Lemay Avenue.
Stoner:
Questioned if Lemay was excluded from this discussion.
Albertson -Clark:
Stated applicant had already committed to the require-
ments along Lemay Avenue. Indicated on map the streets
in question.
Georg:
Asked for a more thorough explanation of staff letter to
Mr. Blackwell.
4/25/83
Page 4
Rupel: Indicated through a design alternative the problem could
be solved.
Mike Schmidt: Engineering Professionals. Stated some clarifications to
the letter had been made; water would not be channeled by
means of the borrow ditch, and also whether there is curb
or gutter in place or not, water will still penetrate the
base course material. While curb and gutter provides
stable construction, they do not believe their alterna-
tive (5 foot shoulders consisting of aggregate base
course) will have the problems indicated by City staff.
Wyatt:
Indicated Filings 1 and 2 have private roads. County is
not accepting roads for maintenance, but subdivision must
provide maintenance because the County only provides
maintenance on those roads where it gets participation
from theState funds. These roads will not be maintained
by Larimer County, but by the association.
Georg:
Felt that when this area came into the City, street
maintenance might become a City problem.
Simpson:
Questioned if other developments in the area had curb and
gutter.
Albertson -Clark:
Was unaware of other areas. Development prior to the
Intergovernmental Agreement probably would not have curb
and gutter.
Willard Holz:
Indicated submitted petition to let Board know homeowners
feelings. Also indicated density was less there and
would not have the concentrated storm runoff that might
occur in the City.
Stoner:
Asked if project was approved without curb and gutter,
would it, violate the Intergovernmental Agreement.
Eckman:
Indicated if City were to waive requirement for construc-
tion in accordance with City street standards, County
should have no problem with the Agreement.
Georg:
Indicated motivation for reviewing Urban Growth Area
developments is to insure compatibility with neighboring
community. Also concerned with the precedence, the
financial burdens which might someday be on the City, and
felt the staff recommendation merited approval.
Moved to recommend approval of Lindenwood IV, subject to
the 36 foot wide streets with curb, gutter, and sidewalks
required on interior streets.
4/25/83

Crews: Second.
Gilfillan: Felt City had entered into Intergovernmental Agreement
and should follow procedures outlined therein.
Stoner: Indicated he liked the "feel" of the area and way traffic
was handled and would, therefore, vote against re-
quirement for curb and gutter.
Simpson: Concurred with Mr. Stoner, and indicated her approval of
the revised plan. Felt that since there was no other
curb and gutter out there and felt lack of it on this
project would not be a problem.
Vote: Motion carried 4-3 (Stoner, Simpson and Larson voting
No).
DISCUSSION AGENDA
14. #44-82C Redwood Village PUD Phase 3 - Final
Request for final approval of Phase 3 of 21.4-ac PUD

in the hopes something can be resolved.

Highway Department would have to deal with the property
owners.

expressway will not go through the area for cost -benefit

fore, movable.

al.
