These issues included variances to the existing engineering standards, off -site street improvement requirements, variance to the 150 foot lot depth requirement of the subdivision regulations, and provision of future street connection to the unplatted area on the southeast corner of the project. The staff recommendation on these matters are as follows: 3. Existing enginnering standards. The intersection of Stratford Street and Dunbar Avenue does not meet the current City standard of 90 degrees plus or minus 10 degrees. Also, handicapped ramps have not been provided at all corners. It is our decision to accept the intersection as designed if the lots on northwest and southeast corners are provided with restrictions for fencing and landscaping to allow adequate sight distance. Handicapped ramps are a necessity and should be installed. The design of these ramps will be varied to allow the existing catch basins to remain in place. These conditions should be reflected on the engineering plans and subdivision plat. Off -site street improvement requirements. It is the opinion of staff that Dunbar Avenue meets the "letter of the law" in terms of providing direct access from this project to Drake Road. This item will be presented to the Board for their information. 150 foot lot depth requrement. Section 99-5 B. (7.) requires that lots adjacent to an arterial street shall have a minimum depth of 150 feet. Lots 52 through 59 do not appear to meet this requirement. The staff cannot waive this requirement unless by reason of exceptional topographical, soil or other subsurface conditions or other conditions peculiar to the site (Section 99-7 A., subsection (1) and (2) of the City Code). There does not appear to be adequate justification to support a variance to this requirement. It is staff's opinion that the plat should be revised to meet this lot depth requirement_ A var;anro k- OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING DIVISION 300 LaPorte Ave. • P.O. Box 580 • Fort CollinS, Colorado 80522 • (303)221-6750 Mr. Roger Strauss *900 140 From: Joe Frank January 4, 1985 Page Two 4. Future street connection. It is staff's opinion that a future street connection be provided between Stratford Drive and the unplatted property on the southeast corner of the project. Staff feels this street connection would provide a second point of access, other than Horsetooth Road, to the unplatted property when it develops. The ROW for this street should be dedicated at this time. The enginneering documents should reflect the design of this street. However, the construction of the street will not be required until the unplatted property develops. All revisions to the plans, variance requests, and other information that is required for a complete review of this project should be submitted no later than Tuesday, January 8, 1985. The other deadlines as outlined in my letter dated December 20, 1984, should also be adhered to if you intend to be on the January agenda of the Planning and Zoning Board. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Joe Frank Senior City Planner cc.
