Home My WebLink AboutSIDEHILL FILING TWO - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2005-10-31Request for Modification of Standard Solar Orientation of Lots July 25, 2004 The applicant, Postle Development, is requesting a Modification of Standards for the required percentage of solar oriented lots within a proposed development located on the northeast corner of E. Drake and S. Timberline Roads. Section 3.2.3 (B) of the Fort Collins Land Use Code states that "At least sixty-five (65) percent of the lots less than fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet in area in single- and two-family residential developments must conform to the definition of a "solar -oriented lot" in order to preserve the potential for solar energy usage." The definition of a "solar -oriented lot" per Section 5.1.2 of the Fort Collins Land Use Code is (1) A lot with a front lot line oriented to within thirty (30) degrees of a true east -west line. When the lot line abutting a street is curved, the "front lot line" shall mean the chord or straight line connecting the ends of the curve. For a flag lot, the "front lot line" shall mean the lot line that is most parallel to the closest street, excluding the "pole portion of the flag lot"; or (2) A lot which, when a straight line is drawn from a point midway between the side lot lines at the required front yard setback to a point midway between the side lot lines at the required rear yard setback, is oriented to within thirty (30) degrees of true north along said line; or (3) A corner lot with a south lot line oriented to within thirty (30) degrees of a true east -west line, which south lot line adjoins a public street or permanently reserved open space; provided, however, that the adjacent street right-of-way or open space has a minimum north -south dimension of at least fifty (50) feet. For the purposes of this definition, "permanently reserved open space" shall include, without limitation, parks, cemeteries, golf courses and other similar outdoor recreation areas, drainage ditches and ponds, irrigation ditches and reservoirs, lakes, ponds, wetlands, open spaces reserved on plats for neighborhood use and other like and similar permanent open space. The applicant is requesting a reduction in the percentage of solar oriented lots. Current standards require that 65% of the single-family dwelling units be solar oriented. The applicant is requesting that 183 of the 428 dwelling units be solar oriented. This would allow for 43%of the total dwelling units in SideHill Filing 2 to be solar oriented. The basis for the modification request is cited below. Based on the Land Use Code, Section 3.2.3 (E), the applicant maintains the proposed decrease in percentage of lots that are not solar oriented is not detrimental to the public good and promotes the general purpose of the standard equally as well or better than a plan that complies with the standards. Services Engineering Department City of Fort Collins July 2, 2007 Jim Postle Postle Development Company 2919 Valmont Rd, Suite 209 Boulder, CO 80301 RE: Sidehill 2"' Filing, Phases 1A, 1B, 1C and Wet Utilities in 1D Warrantee Security Dear Mr. Postle, This letter is a follow up to our discussion on Friday regarding the infrastructure warrantee that the City does not have for completed and accepted improvements in Sidehill 2"' Filing. Development Construction Permits (DCP) were issued for what was originally Sidehill 2"' Filing Phases to and 18. After construction started, phase 1B was rephased into Phases 1 B, 1C and 1D. Somehow thru this confusion the letters of credit that were provided for the infrastructure security were released even though 25% should have been held thru the warrantee period in accordance with Section 3.3.2(C) of the Land Use Code. We do have a letter of credit that was originally provided to cover all of the infrastructure work for the original overall Phase 1B, but it was reduced over time and now only totals $277,690, which is the full amount for the remaining work to be done in Phase 1 D (letter of credit #3688). This amount though does not provide the required two year 25% security for the infrastructure that has been installed in the 2"' Filing. Therefore we are asking that a letter of credit be provided for 1 year (the amount of time remaining on the two year secured warrantee) for the maintenance and repair of the public infrastructure that has been constructed and accepted in Phases 1A, 1B, I and I (only the wet utilities have been built and constructed in Phase 1D). The amount of the letter of credit needed is 1454,443.00 (this is 25% of the original total amount of $1,817,775). 1 have attached copies of the cost estimates that were provided to us by your engineer for reference. Please provide the letter of credit prior to July 13, 2007, Please let me know if you have any questions, I can be reached at 224-6605.
