' • • 4/25/83 Page 3 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 Page 5 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 consisting of 92 single-family units located at the southeast corner of Conifer Drive and Redwood Drive, zoned R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential.

Gilfillan: Indicated information presented last month has recently been clarified. Don Parsons: Consulting Engineer for Applicant. Stated applicant will hold expressway right-of-way until April 1, 1984, in the hopes something can be resolved. Dow: Asked the effect on property owners if the expressway went through after the April 1 deadline. Parsons: Felt the area would not be the first to be built up. Also felt the worst that could happen would be the State Highway Department would have to deal with the property owners. Smith: Clarified that, if the houses are ultimately built, the 4/25/83 Page 6 expressway will not go through the area for cost -benefit reasons. Indicated the year timeframe would allow time to weigh alternatives. Stoner: Questioned if homes were modular in design and, there- fore, movable. Don Parsons: Indicated homes would be on a permanent foundation. Stoner: Indicated by agreement with developer at the last meeting if there were no conflicts, Board would consider approv- al.
