Resolution Adopted Authorizing Use of
Supplementary Sign at School Crossings
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Joe Rice, the City's Traffic Engineer, feels that it is
necessary and desirable to have a sign at school crossings

use of such signs. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices states that such signs may be used by a municipality
if the governing body of the municipality has so authorized.
The accompanying resolution would constitute the proper
authorization."

Lincoln Community Center Rate
Schedule and Policy Tabled to August 2 1977
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"The City Council reviewed and discussed the proposed rental
rates and policy for the Lincoln Community Center at their
June 21, 1977, meeting.
At that time it was stated that the Chamber of Commerce requested
that they be allowed to provide input into the rate schedule.
The City Council approved the rates for the Ludlow Room as this
room will be opening in the near future. However, they tabled
recommendations concerning the Lincoln Community Center until
the July 19 Council meeting.
The Chamber of Commerce will be meeting to discuss this matter
next Wednesday, July 20, 1977, at 7:00 a.m. Therefore, at this
time they are requesting that the Council again table considera-
tion of this item.
395
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the
City ounce again table this matter, and the staff will have
a report ready for the August 2, 1977, City Council meeting."
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Suinn to table this item to the August 2, 1977 meeting.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Russell, St. Croix,

THE MOTION CARRIED
Agreement Adopted Approving Sanitary
Sewer Service to Lindenmeier Subdivision
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"Pursuant to direction of the City Council at the last regular
meeting, the City Attorney has prepared a proposed agreement
to provide sanitary sewer service to the Lindenmeier Subdivi-
sion. Under the proposed agreement, the City will provide
sanitary sewer service without requiring that the lots in
the subdivision receive water service from the City water
utility. The agreement does require that the lots convert
to the City electric utility at the cost of the subdivider '
or lot owners at the time of annexation to the City. The
agreement also contemplates that the subdivision improvements
required will be only those required by the County in connec-
tion with its approval of the subdivision plat.
As required by the City ordinance on extending utilities
outside of City limits, this matter was submitted to the
Water Board for recommendation concerning the furnishing of
sewer service without requiring water service. After discussion,
the Water Board recommended that sanitary sewer service not
be furnished unless the developer also took water service
from the City water utility. If the Council desires to
approve the proposed agreement, that will require that the
Council specifically determine what the requirement of
taking water service from the City utility will be waived.
The agreement does require annexation of the subdivision to
the City which is possible at this time if done in stages.
This should not cause any particular difficulty since the
subdivision plat has already been approved by the County and
the proposed agreement provides that the subdivision improve-
ments required will be only those which are required under
the County approval. If annexation proceedings are instituted
immediately, this may prevent a jurisdictional dispute
between the City and Public Service Company as to the right
to provide electric service.
396
Recommendation: It is felt that the proposed agreement is
consistent with the Council's directions at the last Council
meeting and, therefore, the Administration recommends that
the Council make a specific determination that this property
will not be required to take water service from the City
water utility. It is further recommended that the Council
approve the terms of the agreement and authorize the City
Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement on behalf of
the City."
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman
St. Croix to adopt the recommendation of the administration.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Russell, St. Croix,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
THE MOTION CARRIED
Airport Master Plan
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"The City Council has received and reviewed copies of the
Fort Collins -Loveland Airport Master Plan. This item was
' considered at the July 5th meeting, but was tabled until the
July 19, 1977, meeting.
The Airport Board reviewed the Plan at its June 27, 1977,
meeting and recommended approval of the document.
Councilman St. Croix attended the Airport Board's July 13,
1977, meeting and discussed the Master Plan and proposed
capital improvements with the Board. At that meeting no
major problems with the Master Plan were identified.
Representatives from the Airport Board will be available to
discuss the Plan.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that Council
approve the Airport Master Plan with the understanding that
approval of the Plan does not commit Council to any funding
for capital improvements beyond the $10,000 allocated to the
Airport in the 1977 budget."
Councilman Bowling requested he be excused from discussion
and participation on this item, consideration on Airport
Board funding and consideration of the hangar space lease

Board meeting of. July 13, 1977 at which time this item

Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First Reading
Amending the Subdivision Regulations
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"The City Council has indicated the need to make both immediate
and comprehensive changes to the subdivision ordinance.
' On May 16, 1977, and on July 11, 1977, the Planning and Zoning
Board has recommended to the City Council specific changes to
the subdivision ordinance. The May 16th recommendations of
the Planning and Zoning Board were included in the June 7th
City Council agenda information on the preliminary plan for
the Village West Ninth Subdivision. Due to the length of
the meeting and a discussion on variances for the Village
West Ninth project, these recommendations for design standard
changes were not fully discussed. The recommended changes
were as follows:
1. The City should create a new street classification for
the subdivision ordinance known as a "place" which is
limited in its maximum length and number of lots. This
place street would allow for no greater than a 50-foot
right of way and 32-foot pavement. The staff is recom-
mending a maximum of 10 lots and a maximum length of
350 feet.
2. The City should change the minimum front yard setback
requirement for single-family dwelling units from 30
feet to 20 feet provided that building envelopes are
shown on the subdivision plat.
1
401
3. The City should change the minimum side -yard require-
ment for single-family dwelling units from 7 feet to '
3 feet, providing that building envelopes are shown
on the subdivision plat.
4. The City should change the minimum lot frontage from
30 feet to 20 feet .for cul-de-sac lots, provided
building envelopes are shown on the subdivision plat.
On July 11, 1977, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended
procedural changes to the subdivision and PUD ordinance,
and these are as follows:
1. Neither final subdivision plats nor final PUD plans
would require Planning and Zoning Board consideration
unless staff determination on the adequacy of how
ordinance requirements or conditions for preliminary
plat or plan approval were addressed is challenged
by the applicant.
2. All preliminary subdivision plats would require approval
by the City Council prior to the submission of the
final plat. This is now the case with preliminary
PUD plans.
Assistant City Attorney Lucia Liley has prepared the '
attached ordinances which would accomplish these procedural
changes. The effect of these changes would be to shorten
the review time for a subdivision, spare the Planning and
Zoning Board the unnecessary requirement of considering the
technical details of final plats and plans, and provide the
City Council the opportunity to review all preliminary
subdivision plats prior to a petitioner's making final
plat commitments.
Also addressed in the attached memo is an emphasis on the need
for an overall revision to the subdivision ordinance. The
expressed interest of local architects and design professionals
to assist the City Administration with the revision of the
ordinance is discussed and warrants the support of the City
Council. The need for major revisions to the subdivision
ordinance and the involvement of local design professionals
has received the support of the Planning and Zoning Board.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City
Council o t e following:
1. Approve the attached ordinances for procedural changes
to the subdivision PUD ordinances on first reading;
2. Consider the appropriateness of the Planning and Zoning '
Board's recommendations for certain design standard
402
revisions to the subdivision and zoning ordinances
and direct the City Administration accordingly;
' 3. Consider the need and proposed method for major
.revisions to the subdivision ordinance and direct the
Administration accordingly."
Councilmembers considered the Planning and Zoning Board's
recommendations for design standards revisions to the
subdivision and zoning ordinances (items 1, 2, 3 & 4 above)
they then indicated general approval of the recommendations
and referred them to staff for ordinance preparation.
City Attorney March stated the ordinance should be amended
in the following particulars:
On page 1, section 1, change the word "fourteen" to "twenty";
under letter (d) change.from "Department of Public Works" to
"Department of Engineering Services" and at the bottom of the
page add the letter "(m)" to read, "Department of Water and
Sewer"; on page 3, section 7, line 7, change the word
"fourteen" to "twenty"; on page 4, section l(a), change
"fourteen" to "twenty" and in section (d), fourth line down
the word "preliminary" be changed to read "final" and on
the last line, omit the word "preliminary".

Relating to Utility Agreements '
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The attached ordinance concerns utility agreements for
subdivision plats. The ordinance would change the name
of utility agreement to subdivision improvement agreement.
The purpose of this is simply to give developers and
subdividers a clearer understanding of what the agreement
relates to. The second thing the ordinance does is provide
that on a final plat they have to leave a space for approval
of the Engineering Services Director of the assigned sub-
division improvement agreement."

Village West Ninth Filing Subdivision
Variances Not Reconsidered
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"Since the July 5, 1977, Council meeting, City staff and
Nortran Associates, Inc., have met on two occasions with
residents of the Village West, Lexington Green area concerning
the above project.
1
405
Most recently a community meeting was held on Wednesday,
July 14, 1977, at the First Unitarian Church with approxi-
mately 100 area residents. A transcript of this meeting
will be provided to each Council member.
The majority of the residents in attendance expressed the
following concerns regarding the proposal and the variances
granted by Council on June 7, 1977.
1. That a precedent has been set for other developers to
use the variance vehicle as a way to not comply with
the subdivision ordinance. It is the residents' feeling
that this is a poor way to accomplish change.
2. The proposed development is not in character with the
existing neighborhood density.
3. That innovative and new development proposals should be
considered. The consideration of this specific proposal
is, in their opinion, a risk in its impact on the
surrounding large lot, single-family neighborhood.
A few residents at the meeting did support the proposal as
presented since it offered an alternative style to housing
development, and they did not feel this would adversely impact
their neighborhood.
Staff did review with the residents the variances that '
Council approved, the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation
on the matter, and Administration's comments and views on
the variances.
Members of the neighborhood are planning on attending the
July 21, 1977, meeting when Council discusses this item.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that Council
determine whether or not they will reconsider the variances
granted at its June 7, 1977, meeting."
Mayor Bloom stated Council would consider any new arguments
only on this issue.
Attorney Robert Hiller, representing a group of residents
who oppose the variances granted in this matter
summarized the concerns of the residents and then addressed
the variances individually. (They are as follows):
406
.1
"l. The width of "local" street would be 28-foot pavement
on a 40-foot right of way, as opposed to 40-foot pave-
ment on a 60-foot right of way.
2. The "T" or rectangular cul-de-sac would be allowed.
Presently, the ordinance does not prescribe the shape
of a cul-de-sac; from a legal standpoint a "T" configura-
tion is permitted at present. No specific dimensions
of the cul-de-sac were approved.
3. Approved reduction of front -yard setback in the R-L,
Low Density Residential Zoning District, from a 30-
foot minimum to 18-foot minimum. This variance still
requires consideration by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
4. Approved a reduction of the minimum side -yard setback
in the R-L District from 7 feet to 3 feet. The Building
Code requires a minimum of 10 feet between structures.
This variance also requires consideration by the Zoning
Board of Appeals."
Attorney Hiller then presented petitions in opposition to
the granting of the variances containing approximately 200
signatures; the petition is as follows:
"We, the undersigned, being residents of the neighborhoods
near the proposed Village West Subdivision, 9th Filing, wish
to state our opposition of the approval of zoning and/or
subdivision variances which would allow the approval of said
subdivision without compliance with all existing subdivision
and zoning requirements of the City of Fort Collins for the
following reasons:
1. No narrowness, shallowness or slope existed on
the site of the proposed subdivision at the time of enactment
of the Fort Collins zoning, requirements and no other extra-
ordinary and exceptional situations or conditions exist with
regard to the proposed site which would result in peculiar
and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional
and undue hardship upon the owner of said property, and
2. No exceptional topographical, soil, or other
subsurface conditions or conditions exist which are peculiar
to the site and no hardship would be caused by the strict
application of requirements of the subdivision regulations,
and
3. The granting of any such variances would cause
substantial detriment to the public good and would substantially
impair the intent and purposes of Chanters 118 and 99 of the
' Code of the City of Fort Collins, and
407
4. The variances, if granted, would result in a -
subdivision which is inconsistent and incompatible with '
subdivisions in the immediate vicinity. The variances,
if granted, would not preserve the integrity of the
neighborhoods which are near the proposed subdivision."
The following persons then spoke in opposition to the
granting of the variances:
1. Robert Evans, 1942 Ridgewood Road.
2. Gerard Tryjankowski, 2001 Ridgewood Road.
3. Bonsall Johnson, 1828 Manchester Drive.
Attorney Hiller requested Council take one of the following
actions:
1. Withdraw the variances that were granted pending any
ordinance change, since.no showing of hardship was shown or;
2. Council could modify the following variances granted on
June 7:
a. with regard to street width that 36' street width
be provided in the entire area,
b. that the "T" cul-de-sac be paved to 40' in width
and that setbacks be 28' instead of 20', and
C. that open space be provided. '
Developer, Bill Bartran spoke to the compromise plan he
proposed for the area in question and requested he be provided
with a copy of the petition.
Mr. Jim Stilson, 1825 Manchester Drive, spoke to the dimensions
required to turn a fire truck around in the "T" cul-de-sac.
City Planner, Les Kaplan, stated Council would, in addition
to the variances granted, have to vary the 50' street to a
36' street.
Mr. Ron Hoisington, Planning Consultant with the firm of
THK Associates Inc, of Denver, spoke to various aspects of
the plan specifically the "T" cul-de-sac. Fire Marshall
Don Hisam also spoke to the requirements for Fire Department
apparatus in the proposed "T" cul-de-sac. At the conclusion
of the testimony Councilmembers addressed various questions
to both Mr. Hoisington and Fire Marshall Hisam and discussed
the plan in general.
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn
to reconsider the variances granted on June 7, 1977. Yeas:
Councilmembers Russell and Suinn. Nays: Councilmembers Bloom, ,
Bowling, St. Croix and Wilkinson.
THE MOTION WAS DEFEATED
408
Mayor Bloom declared the motion dead and Council would not
' reconsider the variances.
Village West Subdivision, Eighth Filing Final Plat
Approved
Vice Mayor Suinn declared a five minute recess prior to
consideration of this item.
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This is a proposal for 80 single-family lots on 24.9 acres
located west of Constitution Avenue, north of Independence
Road. There appears to be no substantive issues that must
be addressed by the City Council concerning this plat.
The Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation is for approval
with the following conditions:
1. Resolution of the "greenbelt issue" in a manner
mutually acceptable to the developer and to the
Foothills Village Homeowners Association.
2. Technical revisions of the plat concerning:
a. utility and access easements, and
b. a proposed street to be called Liberty Road
is a continuation of a platted street called
Winfield Drive. One or the other street names
should be changed.
The first condition has been met by a legal agreement between
Nortran and the Foothills Village Homeowmers' Association.
Concerning the second condition:
1. The developer has indicated all necessary easements
and notes will be shown on the plat prior to the
Council meeting.
2. The developer desires to keep "Liberty Road" as a
street name in Village West Eighth. Liberty Road
will be an extension of a short segment of platted
street named Winfield Drive in the subdivision to
the east, Village West Sixth Filing. This will
require a resolution to change the name of Winfield
Drive to Liberty Road in Village [Jest Sixth Filing.
A resolution to this effect is the next item on the
agenda."
409
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bowling to approve the Village West Subdivision, Eighth
Filing, Final Plat. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Russell, I
St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Mayor Bloom
out of room.)
THE MOTION CARRIED
Resolution Withdrawn Changing the Name
of Winfield Drive to Liberty Road in
Village West Subdivision, Sixth Filing
Vice Mayor Suinn stated this item has been withdrawn on the
request of the petitioner.
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Annexing the Harmony Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The Harmony Annexation is a voluntarily -initiated petition
to annex 234.8 acres located east of Lemay Avenue and south
of Warren Lake. This is the first of three and possibly.
four annexations that are necessary in order for the City
to annex the Hewlett-Packard site. The Harmony Second '
Annexation plat for 69.2 acres has been completed and
considered by the Planning and Zoning Board at their
July llth meeting along with the Harmony Annexation. This
latter annexation must be eliminated prior to the Harmony
Second Annexation being eligible for annexation. Also,
the Landings First Annexation for 167.8 acres has been to
the Planning and Zoning Board and is contingent upon the
Harmony First Annexation.
Attached is an extensive memo from Planning Director
Les Kaplan which deals with the logic of the territorial
expansion of Fort Collins and contains information on the
City's annexation history.
The City Council previously authorized the Administration to
proceed with the design for the Harmony sewer trunk line.
This line will pre-empt the district from expanding north
of Harmony Road. Both the sanitary sewer district and the
Water and Sewer Utilities Department feel that Harmony Road
provides a logical and natural delineation between the two
service systems.
The Fire Department has concern about servicing extensive
development south of Horsetooth Road and will require '
consideration of fire station relocation from our present
Spring Creek and Mathews Street site.
410
The staff is recommending in favor of this annexation due
to the need for the application of City standards and regula-
tions on lands adjoining the city which are ready for develop-
ment. At its July llth meeting, the Planning and Zoning
Board recommended unanimously for approving the annexation.
The Board was very concerned, however, with the rapid
territorial expansion of the city, questioning the adequacy
of City services, the impact on existing undeveloped land
in the city, and the erosion of a sense of community resulting
from rapid dispersive growth.
The petitioner has requested T, Transition District zoning
which will be considered on first reading at the August 2,
1977, City Council meeting."
Planning Director Les Kaplan spoke to all of the proposed
annexations in the area and the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Board for approval.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Russell to adopt Ordinance No. 94, 1977 on first reading.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Russell, St. Croix and
Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Suinn.
THE MOTION CARRIED
' Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First Reading
Annexing the Cunningham Corner Second Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This 39-acre site located at the northeast corner of South
Shields and Horsetooth Road has been petitioned for voluntary
annexation to the city and for T, Transition District zoning
classification.
As a practical matter, the site cannot be serviced by district
sanitary sewer. City water and sewer services can be made
available without difficulty. Annexation of this site would
extend the city limits between South Shields Street and South
College Avenue to Horsetooth Road with the exception of an
approximate 400-foot wide parcel between the proposed annexa-
tion and the Foothills Park Subdivision.
At its July 11, 1977, meeting„ the Planning and Zoning Board
voted unanimously to recommend approval of this annexation
with the requested T, Transition zoning."
City Attorney March stated the Council needed to amend the
' title of the ordinance by inserting the word "Second" after
the words "Cunningham Corner".
411

Russell to amend the ordinance as recommended. Yeas:

THE MOTION CARRIED
Mr. Ellerby, petitioner, requested comments from the Council
regarding the zoning; of this annexation, even though that
question is not properly before the Council at this time.
Councilmembers stated they could not prejudge this issue but
would await the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board.
3-M Subdivision, Second Filing
Final Plat, Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This is a routine proposal for two single-family lots to be
'
located on the West side of Rocky Road north of Orchard Place.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval. There are
no substantive issues that must be addressed by the City
Council concerning this plat."
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
St. Croix to approve the 3-M Subdivision, Second Filing,
Final Plat. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Russell, St. Croix,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Mayor Bloom out of the room.)
Griffin Plaza Subdivision Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This is a proposal for 11 lots on 8.2 acres zoned B-L, Limited
Business and C, Commercial Zoning District, located on the
south side of West Prospect Street, west of the Colorado and
Southern Railroad tracks.
The only substantive issue which needs to be decided by the
City Council on this final plat concerns access to two proposed I
lots which have frontage on both Prospect Street and the
interior local street, Tamasag Drive.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommends that a note be added
to the plat requiring that driveway access to these lots be
412
from Tamasag Drive only, so as not to add to current traffic
' problems on Prospect in this vicinity. The developer would
like to keep the option of access directly onto Prospect
for these two lots."
The recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board is as
follows:
"Planning and Zoning, Board Recommendation: Conditional Approval
"At its meeting of April 11, the Board considered the preliminary
plat favorably, and made suggestions for several revisions to
be addressed on the final plat (i.e. that a floodway easement
be shown along Spring Creek; that lots 1 and 2 obtain access
from the interior loop street rather than from Prospect; that
curbcuts from the Gasamat gas station onto Prospect be brought
into conformance with city driveway regulations; and that
continuous curbcut parking be eliminated from the public
street R.O.W.).
At its June 13 meeting, the Board considered the final plat,
and voted unanimously to recommend approval subject to the
following conditions as suggested by the staff:
1. The plat must include provisions for the Spring Creek
Flood Plain easement.
2. A note should be included on the plat restricting access
to lots l and 2 from the proposed interior street,
Tamasag Drive, rather than from Prospect Street.
3. Minor technical revisions.
The first and third conditions have been fulfilled and utility
plans have been approved by the Engineering Division.
The applicant, however, is in opposition to the second condition
as he would prefer to have the option of obtaining direct access
to Prospect Street in addition to access from Tamasag Drive for
lots 1 and 2. Hence, he has not complied with this condition
of the Board's recommendation for approval.
At the June 13 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, a representa-
tive of the applicant made the Board aware of the applicant's
opposition to this condition. The Board nevertheless included
this condition in its recommendation because it felt that
additional curbcuts would further compound the existing
problems caused by the proliferation of driveways in conjunc-
tion with the high volume of traffic on this stretch of Prospect
Street."
' 413
Councilman Bowling made a motion to approve the plat subject
to a dedication of access rights leaving one curb cut at a
location to be worked out later. The motion was seconded by ,
Councilman St. Croix. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Russell,
St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.(Mayor Bloom
out of room.)
THE MOTION CARRIED
Revision of Stonehenge Residential PUD,
Preliminary Plan Approved
The City Manager's memorandum regarding this follows:
"This is a proposal for 56 townhouse units on 10.25 acres east
of Lemay Avenue and south of Stuart Street. This site was
rezoned from R-L, Low Density Residential, to R-L-P, Low
Density Planned Residential, at the June 21st Council meeting.
This proposal is a revision of the preliminary plan for
Stonehenge P.U.D. (approved by the Council in May) in
response to the rezoning of the 10.25 acres.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval subject
to a number of conditions as specified in the attached memo
from the planning staff. If the Council sees any problem
with the concept of this proposal, this should be brought '
out now at the preliminary review phase."
The Planning and Zoning Board recommendation follows and
the staff comment:
"Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation: Conditional Approval
The Board considered this proposal at its June 13 meeting. The
staff commented that townhouse units fronting on local streets
is a hybrid of single family and multiple family development
which seems well suited to this site. However, while in many
ways this development type combines desirable aspects of both
single family and multiple family development, it also presents
a unique set of problems, primarily in terms of street design
and parking. The staff also explained that these problems
could be avoided by adherence to the street design standards
of the P.U.D. ordinance (as discussed in the first of the
conditions below).
The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval ofthe proposal
subject to the conditions suggested by staff as follows:
Street, access drives, and parking in the townhouse
area should conform with the clear-cut street design '
414
and parking standards of the P.U.D. ordinance. The
ordinance recommends 28' wide local streets only where
two off-street parking spaces per unit are provided (as is
'
the case in the single family area of this P.U.D.). The
townhouse area proposal, however, is for 28' streets
with only one off-street space per unit, which will not
provide adequate parking. The staff opinion is that the
better approach to the solution of this problem would
be to provide additional off-street parking (as per P.U.D.
ordinance parking requirements) and retain 28' local
streets rather than to widen the local streets to 36'.
To facilitate this, the short dead-end accessways should
be made private drives which need not conform with the
street design standards where possible (i.e. drives
serving less than four units or less than 100' in length).
2.
The plan should indicate a preliminary layout of utilities
for the townhouse area.
3.
Elevations of buildings should be submitted.'
4.
The plan should indicate sidewalks along local streets.
5.
Garages facing local streets should be set back at least
18' from sidewalks for curb to allow room for a car parked
in the driveway.
' 6.
"Fence limit lines" should simply be made lot lines in the
family
single area so as to avoid potential confusion over
private yards and common open space.
7.
Location of "tennis pro shop" should be indicated on the
preliminary plat at this time rather than by administrative
change to the final plan at a later date as suggested in
the written documents submitted.
Staff Comment
The applicant has agreed with all of the above conditions and
has submitted a revised plan for the townhouse area which
adequately responds to the primary concerns expressed in the
first condition.
As of this writing details concerning the placement of several
units still need to be worked out, and an overall plan which
illustrates specific responses some of the rest of the above
conditions still needs to be submitted. However, we expect
these details to be worked out prior to the upcoming Council
meeting, and since this is a preliminary plan, we are sub-
mitting it for the July 19 Council agenda."
