Linda Ripley, VFR Design -- City of Fort Collins ^;Fy`` �= FROM: Joe/Matt Delich DATE: February 1, 2010 " SUBJECT: Maple Hill Transportation Impact Study Addendum (File: 0190ME05) This memorandum provides a trip generation analysis for the Maple Hill Phase 7 proposed to be located within the Maple Hill Development. The traffic impacts of Maple Hill were addressed in the "Gillespie Farm (Maple Hill) Transportation Impact Study," (TIS) dated November 2002. The City of Fort Collins staff requested a brief trip generation memorandum. An overall site plan of Maple Hill Development and a current site plan for the Maple Hill Phase 7 is provided in Appendix A. In the cited TIS, the Maple Hill Phase 7 area was proposed as 216 apartment units. According to the new site plan, the Maple Hill Phase 7 area will have 105 singgle family dwelling units. Single Family Detached (Code 210) from Trip Generation, 8t Edition, ITE was used to calculate the expected trip generation from the proposed single family dwelling units. Table 1 shows the calculated trip generation using dwelling units as the trip generation variables. From the cited TIS the calculated and approved trip generation for Maple Hill Phase 7 was: 1432 daily trip ends, 110 morning peak hour trip ends, and 134 afternoon peak hour trip ends. The trip generation table from the cited TIS is provided in Appendix B. The new trip generation results in: 1004 daily trip ends, 79 morning peak hour trip ends, and 106 afternoon peak hour trip ends. This is a decrease of 428 daily trip ends, 31 morning trip ends, and 28 afternoon trip ends as compared to that shown in the cited TIS. It is respectfully requested that no further traffic analyses are required for the proposed use of the Maple Hill Phase 7 since the trip generation is less than that in the cited TIS.

Neiohborhood Center The Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood requires a neighborhood center to be provided for projects containing more than 40 acres. Such a center must contain at least two uses as defined by Section 4.5(D)(3)(c). Mixed -use dwelling units are one of the defined uses allowed within an L-M-N neighborhood center. Combined with the neighborhood support/recreation facility, the two uses form a neighborhood center. The Land Use Code is silent on the number of mixed -use dwelling units. The proposed location of the mixed -use dwelling unit is on Lot 63 located next to the community bike trail and across a local street from the neighborhood support recreation facility. This location will continue to satisfy the requirement of Section 4.5(D)(3)(d) — Design and Access — but only so long as there is orientation to both the public street and the community bike trail. Therefore, providing one mixed -use dwelling unit is found to be in compliance with Section 4.5(D)(3)(c). Please let me know if you have any further questions.

This phase includes 105 dwelling units on 17.91 gross acres. At your request, we have prepared a response regarding compliance with Section 4.5(D)(1)(a) — Density - in the context of incorporating Phase Seven into the Overall Development Plan. An evaluation of residential density also includes consideration of Section 3.8.18 — Residential Density Calculations. Also, but not directly related to Phase Seven, is the issue of the Neighborhood Center which adjoins Phase Seven and is required to contain a minimum of two uses. At your request, we have prepared a response regarding compliance with Section 4.5(D)(3)(c) — Neighborhood Center— Land Use Requirements. Density: Staff has evaluated the documents submitted for Conceptual Review including the overall map of Maple Hill titled "Areas Subtracted For Net Density Calculation." The areas indicated as being subtracted equal 28.51 acres and comply with the parameters of Section 3.8.18 and are justified to be netted out of the gross acreage. Subtracting these areas, therefore, reduces the gross acreage of 154.79 acres to a net acreage of 126.28 acres. Phase Seven is proposed for 105 dwelling units. Combined with the balance of Maple Hill at 527 dwelling units, the new total would be 632 total dwelling units. This new total of 632 units, divided over the net acreage of 126.28 acres yields a net density of 5.00 dwelling units per acre. As proposed, therefore, with the revisions contemplated by Phase Seven, the overall Maple Hill project continues to comply with Section 4.5(D)(1)(a) — Density. Maple Hill Phase 7 PDP Planning Objectives July 20, 2010 Page 2 of 2 City's Parks and Recreation Department. The trail property is also an access, utility and ELCO water line easement. The trail will be constructed by the developer and reimbursed by the City's Parks and Recreation Department. The trail will be owned and maintained by the City's Parks and Recreation Department. In addition to the community bike trail and detached sidewalks, the project will provide a pedestrian connection to.the Neighborhood Center and out to Bar Harbor Drive from the interior street system. The City's Land Use Code (LUC) requires that 65% of the lots in a residential development meet solar orientation requirements as defined in the LUC. Alternative Compliance for solar orientation was approved with the Maple Hill PDP in 2003. The streets and lots are oriented as shown in order to achieve the required 5 dwelling units per acre minimum density and maximize the efficiency of infrastructure. The proposed orientation does not preclude the use of solar equipment. We look forward to working with you and other staff during the development review process. Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Ripley Design Inc. K6 ppll�, Linda Ripley Principal Thinking outside of the box for over two decades. 401 W.

The project is located south of County Road 52 and east of County Road 11. The Gillespie Farm ODP was approved in 2001 and proposed development of either single family or multi -family dwelling units on the property. The Maple Hill PDP approved in 2003, proposed Phase 7 to be a multi -family development with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 204 dwelling units. The current proposal is for primarily single family residential development. The proposed development will include 101 single family lots and four attached single family lots for a total of 105 dwelling units. The Gillespie Farm ODP and the Maple Hill PDP require an overall minimum density of 5 dwelling units per acre. With 105 dwelling units in Phase 7 the overall density comes to 5.0 dwelling units per acre as required. The plan proposes three access points; two from Forcastle Drive and one from Bar Harbor Drive. All streets within the development will be local streets with a 53-foot right-of-way, 30- foot pavement width, parking both sides, bike lanes, detached sidewalks and street trees, matching other local street cross sections in the Maple Hill PDP. The Neighborhood Center for Maple Hill PDP was started in Phase 5 with a swimming pool facility that includes changing rooms and restrooms. A mixed -use dwelling unit on Lot 66, along with additional open space, and landscaping complete the Neighborhood Center. A community bike trail is planned to traverse the site diagonally from the northwest to the southeast. The trail, along with adjacent open spaces and the Neighborhood Center, provides a central greenbelt and allows easy access to recreational opportunities for all Phase 7 .residents. The alignment of the trail will fall within a 30-foot wide easement purchased by the Thinking outside of the box for over two decades. 401 W. Mountain Ave., Suite 200 a= Fort Collins.

Findings of Fact/Conclusion: In evaluating the Maple Hill Forth Replat, PDP, Staff makes the following findings of fact: A. The PDP is in compliance with the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. B. The PDP is in compliance with the Gillespie Farm Amended Overall Development Plan. C. The PDP satisfies the development standards of the LMN zone district. D. The PDP satisfies the applicable General Development Standards of Article Three. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Maple Hill Forth Replat, PDP, # 18-10. Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 7 porch (measuring at least six [6] feet by eight [8] feet) by at least four (4) feet. Any street -facing garage doors complying with this standard shall not protrude forward from the front facade of the living area portion of the dwelling by more than eight (8) feet. 2. Garage doors may be located on another side of the dwelling ("side- or rear -loaded') provided that the side of the garage facing the front street has windows or other architectural details that mimic the features of the living portion of the dwelling. 3. Garage doors shall not comprise more than fifty (50) percent of the ground floor, street -facing linear building frontage. Alleys and corner lots are exempt from this standard." There is a combination of street -facing -front loaded, street facing rear loaded and side - mounted (corner lots) garages within the PDP. Where garages are street -facing, they are recessed behind front facades or porches by the requisite minimum of four feet. Side -mounted garages feature windows facing the street. Where garages face the street, the garage doors do not comprise more than 50% ground floor street -facing linear frontage. F. Section 3.6.3 — Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards "The local street system of any proposed development shall be designed to be safe, efficient, convenient and attractive, considering use by all modes of transportation that will use the system (including, without limitation, cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, pedestrians and emergency vehicles." This replat proposes four new local streets that meet the standards of this section. G. Section 3.6.4 — Transportation Level of Service Requirements "All development plans shall adequately provide vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle facilities necessary to maintain the adopted transportation Level of Service standards for the following modes of travel: motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian." A Transportation Impact Study was prepared for the overall site plan of Maple Hill development. This area of the development was originally approved as having 216 multi -family dwellings, the replat is proposing 105 single family dwellings (4 of which are proposed to be single-family attached). The original plan was expected to have 1432 daily round trips; the decrease in density proposed is expected to produce 1004 daily trips. The approved Maple Hill development satisfied the Level of Service standards for Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 6 It is Staffs determination that this site has already been approved for alternative compliance through the original PDP's approval. C. Section 3.3.1 — Plat Standards An applicant shall be required to dedicate rights -of -way for public streets, drainage easements and utility easements as needed to serve the area being developed and/or platted. Water and sewer services are provided to this site by Elco and Boxelder Special Districts. The applicant and the special districts have not agreed on the location of easements for these services yet. It was agreed by all parties involved that the locations of the easements will be determined during the final compliance review of this replat. D. Section 3.5.2(B) — Housing Model Variety 1. 'Any development of one hundred (100) or more single-family detached, single-family attached in groups of two (2), or two-family detached dwelling units shall have at least four (4) different types of housing models. The applicant shall include in the application for approval of the project development plan documentation showing how the development will comply with the foregoing requirement. 2. Each housing model shall have at least three (3) characteristics which clearly and obviously distinguish it from the other housing models, including different floor plans, exterior materials, roof lines, garage placement, placement of the footprint on the lot, and/or building face." There will be three basic housing models for the single-family detached dwellings and one basic housing model for the single-family attached dwellings for a total of four for this section of Maple Hill, there are other models for the rest of the subdivision. Within each model, there will be at least three different elevations by a variety of roof design, window arrangement, garage placement, and porch orientation. E. Section 3.5.2(E) — Garage Doors "To prevent residential streetscapes from being dominated by protruding garage doors, and to allow the active, visually interesting features of the house to dominate the streetscape, the following standards shall apply: 1. Street -facing garage doors must be recessed behind either the front facade of the ground floor living area portion of the dwelling or a covered Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 5 5. Compliance with Applicable General Development Standards: A. Section 3.2.1 — Landscaping and Tree Protection 1. Street Trees —'If two (2) or more consectutive residential lots along a street each measure between forty and sixty feet in street frontage width, one tree per lot mey be substituted for the thirty-foot to forty -foot spacing requirement. Such street trees shall be placed at least eight feet away from any streetlight and to the extent reasonably feasible, be positioned at evenly spaced intervals. The lots in this section of Maple Hill range from 50 to 60 feet wide, with the exception of two attached single-family lots that are approximately 75' wide. Trees are spaced approximately 45 to 50 feet apart along lot facing frontages and are closer for block ends adjacent to side yards. B. Section 3.2.3 — Solar Access, Orientation, Shading 1. At least 65% of the lots less than 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. " Of the 105 lots proposed, only 41 lots (39%) comply with the solar orientation requirement. The original PDP applied for alternative compliance to this section of the LUC, siting: - that the ODP's street layout respects the principles of New Urbanism; - the street network was designed to connect to the north (Lind Farm) and the future school site to the south (Poudre School District); - the street pattern frames the neighborhood park and center; - the street network is designed to meet the minimum density requirements; and - the street network complies with the intersection spacing requirements with the minor arterial streets throughout the site. This site is located in the center of the already approved Maple Hill PDP and due to the small size and the north/south orientation Staff has determined that the proposed layout "accomplishes the purposes of this Section equally or better than a plan which complies with the standards of this Section." This site is within a built out street network that limits the ability to design a development that could meet the standards of this section. Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 4 contained within the project, as measured along street frontage, and without crossing an arterial. A neighborhood center was designated in the ODP in this area of the Maple Hill development. A LMN Neighborhood Center shall include at least two of the following uses: mixed -use dwelling units; community facilities; neighborhood support/recreation facilities; schools child care centers; places of worship or assembly; convenience retail stores; offices, financial services and clinics; personal or business service shops; standard or fast food restaurants (without drive -through facilities); small animal veterinary clinics; and artisan or photography studios or galleries (Section 4.5(D)(3)(c)). The proposed replat includes one mixed -use dwelling and the community swimming pool (neighborhood support/recreation facility) is existing on the northwest corner of Maple Hill Road and Bar Harbor Drive. These two uses meet the standards of a Neighborhood Center as described in this section. D. Small Neighborhood Parks A neighborhood park, meeting the standards of this Section, has been approved on Tract I of the Maple Hill subdivision, directly. south of this site. E. Streets and Blocks 1. Street System Block Size. The local street system provided by the development shall provide an interconnected network of streets in a manner that results in blocks of developed land bounded by connecting streets no greater than twelve (12) acres in size. No block in this section of Maple Hill is greater than 12 acres, complying with this Section of the LUC. 2. Mid -Block Pedestrian Connections. If any block face is over seven hundred (700) feet long, then walkways connecting to other streets shall be provided at approximately mid -block or at intervals of at least every six hundred fifty (650) feet, whichever is less. There are four block faces that exceed 700 feet in this replat. They are the north and south face of the further most north block and 2 on the south and west sides of the corner L-shaped block. Pedestrian walks are provided at acceptable distances meeting this standard along the trail running through the site and through a sidewalk to the north of the neighborhood pool site. Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 3 3. Compliance with the GilleSDle Farm Overall Development Plan (ODP The ODP indicates the location of the neighborhood center, parks/open space areas, bicycle/pedestrian trail, stormwater detention ponds and a range of residential land uses and densities that comply with the LMN zone district. In addition, a network of local and collector streets indicates a public road system, in a grid pattern, designed to connect to the surrounding collector and minor arterial streets that border the site. This replat complies with these established land uses, densities, and street system. 4. Compliance with the LMN District Standards: A. Density The Maple Hill development as a whole is required to contain no less than five dwelling units per net acre and no more than eight dwelling units per gross acre of residential land. Any phase shall have a maximum density of twelve dwelling units per gross acre of residential land. This phase of Maple Hill is proposed at 7 dwelling units per net acre, making the density of the entire Maple Hill development 5 dwelling units per net acre which is in compliance with the standards of this section. B. Mix of Housing 1. A minimum of three housing types is required for any project containing 45 acres or more. A single housing type shall not constitute more than 90% of the total number of dwelling units. The Maple Hill subdivision, with this replat, will have the following mix of housing types, and their percentage of the total: (a.) 92 standard lot single family detached dwellings on lots containing 6,000 square feet or more for 14% of the total. (b.) 490 small lot single family detached dwellings on lots containing 6,000 square feet or less for 77% of the total. (c.) 49 single family attached (duplexes) dwellings for 8% of the total. (d.) 1 mixed use dwelling for 1 % of the total. C. Neighborhood Center 1. At least 90% of the dwellings in projects greater than 40 acres shall be located within 3,960 feet (314 of a mile) of either a neighborhood center Maple Hill Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 September 1, 2010 Administrative Hearing Page 2 the overall Maple Hill development's density 5 dwelling units per acre, which is the minimum required density in the LMN, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zone district. The proposed replat is in compliance with the applicable General Development Standards of Article Three and Article Four of the Land Use Code. The PDP is in compliance with the Mountain Vista Area Plan. COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: North: LMN; One-half block built Maple Hill lots and beyond that Lind Property Subdivision South: LMN; Vacant (Poudre School District Future School Site) East: LMN; Existing Maple Hill Subdivision (Single-family detached) West:, LMN; Vacant lots (Maple Hill Subdivision lots) and West: R (County); Across Turnberry Rd Existing Single Family Detached in Unincorporated Ladmer County The Maple Hill Forth Replat site is part of a larger 320-acre parcel that was annexed in 1978. Also in 1978, on the Maple Hill group of properties, the Nineteenth Green Subdivision was approved consisting of 58 single family lots on 28.9 acres. Although this subdivision was approved and recorded, it expired due to lack of activity in the mid- 1980's. The site is located within the updated Mountain Vista Area Plan adopted by City Council in 2009. The 160-acre Gillespie Farm Overall Development Plan was approved in February of 2001 and amended in October of 2002. 2. Compliance with the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan: The Mountain Vista Subarea Plan includes a "Framework Plan." According to the plan, this area is designated as "Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood." The existing zoning on the property is also Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood and the Project Development Plan has been submitted under the general parameters of this zone district. Therefore, the proposed PDP complies with the adopted Mountain Vista Subarea plan. ,�rof t�' I i EM NO �T MEETING DATE �I O STAFF HEARING OFFICER PROJECT: Maple Hill, Forth Replat, Project Development Plan, #18-10 APPLICANT/OWNER: Mr. Mike Sollenberger and Mr. Tom Dougherty Gillespie Farm Development Company 220 E Mulberry St. Fort Collins, CO 80527 APPLICANT'S Linda Ripley CONSULTANT: Ripley Design Inc. 401 W Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This"is a request to replat Tracts A and V (16.91 acres) of Maple Hill Subdivision into 1:01 single-family lots, 4 single-family attached lots and open space tracts for a trail running through the property.
