HomeMy WebLinkAboutHAMPSHIRE POND PUD - Filed CS-COMMENT SHEETS - 2004-08-09CommL Planning Department City of Fort Collins July 22, 1993 Richard Storck Storck Development Corp. 4401 McMurray Avenue Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Rich, and Environmental rvices The City staff has reviewed your request for Hampshire Pond P.O.D., Preliminary that was submitted on July 5, 1993, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. The final plat must dedicate minimum 8' wide utility easements adjoining right-of-way lines on both sides of all streets. The project entry signs must not encroach into these easements and the proposed front lot street trees must be planted outside of the easements. Public Service Company's underground gas mains are generally located at the centerline of the utility easement, and signs and trees must maintain a 4' horizontal clearance. Light & Power also needs front lot utility easements, combined with PSC, and these easements should be shown on the combined Site Plan and Plat. 2. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to this letter. 3. Utility easements should be shown on all lots on the combined Site Plan and Plat. Columbine CableVision prefers rear lot utility easements and would also like to have side lot easements on Lots 7, 8, 11, and 12 on Willow Fern Way and side lot easements on Lots 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 on Featherstar Way. 4. The Landscape Plan does not provide for a time commitment for when the: common area, West Drake Road landscaping will be installed. 5. Light & Power has indicated that there is possibly 2 locations where street lights and street trees could conflict (please see the attached red -lined drawing and standard tree/street light location information). 6. Street design, plan & profiles must be submitted to the Engineering Department for review. Red -lined plans have been forwarded to Northern Engineering with additional comments. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 The final plans must include all appropriate signature blocks. 7. An increase in parkland fees to $779 per residential dwelling unit has recently been approved by City Council and will go into effect......... 8. A note should be added to the Landscape Plan or a restrictive covenant preventing homeowners from constructing 6' high privacy fences abutting the three -rail fences along the trail easement and regional detention area is required. 9. The easement in the regional detention area on the Site Plan and Plat: must be labeled as a utility and public access easement to accommodate the City bicycle/pedestrian trail. 10. The inclusion of some landscaping along the north side of the proposed bicycle/pedestrian trail may be advantageous to provide buffering to the rear portions of Lots 15 through 26. The Natural Resources Department recommends using native vegetation if landscaping is to be provided in this area. 11. The vacant property to the east, north of the proposed regional detention area, is likely to be developed as residential. Vehicular and bicycle/pedestrian access to the property should be provided from this development. Extending Water Blossom Lane to the east (affecting Lots 4 & 5) is one suggested solution to this need. 12. The Spring Creek floodplain should be shown on the Site Plan and Plat. 13. The developer of Hampshire Pond will be responsible for construction and maintenance of the trail access walks between Lots 14 & 15 and Lots 24 & 25 (and any others that may be proposed). 14. All existing improvements, buildings, landscaping, etc. (both on -site and off -site within 1501) must be shown on the Site Plan as ;per the Preliminary P.U.D. submittal requirements. It is important to show the off -site landscaping on the property to the west to indicate how this small lot single family residential development will interface with that large acreage residential property. 15. There appear to be 5 different lotted areas delineated on the Site Plan. It would be helpful if these areas were differentiated as "blocks" or something that will eliminate the confusion of referring to Lot 1 ... which one? ... there are 5 Lot 11s, etc. 16. The distance shown on the Site Plan between Hampshire Road and Featherstar Way is minimal according to the Transportation Divisionis review and comments. The distance proposed, in conjunction with the need for left turn lanes in some situations, raises questions about the reality of an access point at Featherstar Way. Also, there has to be a left turn bay for Hampshire Road and it does not appear that there is enough room to provide this bay. Dave Klockman is yor contact person in the Engineering Department who can work with you on this requirement. 17. There are two references to Min. Rear Setback: 15' under the Site Data on the Site Plan. This is repetitious. Also, the total number of residential lots should be listed here. 18. The location of the "temporary dead end of Marshwood Drive" at the southwest corner of the development essentially locks into place how development can occur on the properties to the east, considering the fact that a collector street connecting to Wyandotte Drive north of Drake Road is planned. The connection from this development to the properties to the east should allow for options. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the August 23, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due August 4, 1993 by 12:00 noon. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document.
