HomeMy WebLinkAboutNEW PROSPECT - PDP - 4-10 - CORRESPONDENCE - (10)L. Lot Nine should be restricted from having a solid six foot fence along the south property line as this line abuts a City of Fort Collins Natural Area. If you have any questions regarding the City -owned property, please contact Mark Sears, 416-2096. 0 A. The site is contained within the East Prospect — Spring Creek Sub -area Plan. The conceptual plan complies in that Apex Drive is extended into the subject site. B. A vehicular connection into Prospect Commons to the west is not required. However, bicycle and pedestrian connections should be made. According to the plat of Prospect Commons, there are four opportunities to make such connections. These are the Pitkin Lateral Irrigation Ditch and Pipe easement, the sanitary sewer easement, and the pedestrian, bicycle and maintenance vehicle access easement. Note that irrigation ditch easement and Tract A are closest to the future alignment of Apex Drive and would provide the most convenient east/west circulation without having to use either Prospect Road or the Spring Creek Trail. C. A connection should be made to the Spring Creek Trail. Otherwise, an informal path will evolve without the benefit of a hard surface or owner's permission. D. Lot 22 looks severely impacted by the existing sanitary sewer easement. E. Pockets of guest parking should be scattered throughout the project. F. A small area should be set aside for the U.S. Postal Service mail delivery cluster box. This area could also be used to post notices for H.O.A. meetings and other announcements. G. Areas outside the lots that are to be held in common must be placed within a specific tract. The purpose and long term maintenance of each tract must be stated on the plat. H. Street lighting on the private drives will be the responsibility of the developer. Street trees are required along all public streets and should be provided along the private drives for continuity. J. The Pitkin Lateral owners may need to sign the plat. K. A plat note should be provided stating that the long term maintenance, street -cleaning, snow removal and re -surfacing of the private drives and walkways will be the responsibility of the H.O.A., not the City of Fort Collins. L✓ prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. L. Utility plans will be required for this project. A development agreement will be done with this project. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site. For further information, please contact Susan Joy, 221-6581. 7. The following comments are provided Matt Wempe, Transportation Planner: A. A bicycle/pedestrian connection should be made to the Spring Creek Trail either directly or indirectly. B. Ellis Street will become the new pick-up/drop-off area for Lesher Junior High School. This will put more traffic at the Prospect Road / Ellis Street intersection. This traffic should be considered in the T.I.S. C. The proposed private drive will need sidewalks. Sidewalks should either be attached with a six foot width or detached with a 4.5 foot width. 8. The following comments are provided by the Historic Preservation Department: A. The owner should provide good photographs of all 4 sides of the building and any other buildings 50 years or older that would be affected by the project to help determine if it (they) are eligible for local landmark designation. This determination of eligibility will be made within two weeks of receiving this information.' B. If this or any nearby property is considered eligible, we will review the development project to ensure it is compatible with the nearby historic property. C. If any properties individually eligible for local landmark designation exist within the development site, these properties should be included within the development plans. D. If this or other nearby property is not individually eligible for landmark designation, we will have no comment on the project. For further information, please contact Pam Opiela, 221-6597. 9. The following comments are from Current Planning: VA aligned intersections along Prospect Road with Mathews Street, Peterson Street, Whedbee Street and Stover Street. C.

Please contact Joe Olson and Transportation Planning to schedule a scoping meeting and determine if a traffic study is needed for this project. Also need to discuss the separation distance between Ellis and this subdivision's intersection. A variance request will need to be submitted in accordance with 1.9.4 before the alignment can be determined. E. No structures of any kind are allowed in easements. F. This project will be obligated to provide access to the property to the northwest. And, if this property has a private driveway intersecting with Prospect Road, and alternative access is provided via Apex Drive, then the Traffic Operations Department may consider closing this driveway. G. Please contact Transportation Planning to determine how many bicycle/pedestrian connections to the west will be required to meet minimum bicycle and pedestrian level of service requirements. H. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary for this project. A local street has 51- 53' of right-of-way, plus a 9' Utility Easement. This will need to match the right-of-way and curb and gutter type that the development to the east has designed on their property. Prospect Road is considered a constrained arterial which requires 102' of r.o.w. of which this development is responsible for dedicating half (51) from the centerline, plus a 15' Utility Easement. J.

LAND USE DATA: This is a request to subdivide the properties at 805, 807 and possibly 811 East Prospect Road into 29 lots for single family detached dwelling units. The properties are located on the south side of East Prospect Road, north of Spring Creek and east of Stover Street. The properties contain existing houses which are likely to remain. A street stub is provided along the east property line for the extension of Apex Drive into the site. The area between the south property line and Spring Creek is owned by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Program. COMMENTS: 1. The property is zoned L-M-N, Low Density Planned Residential. The proposed density of 6.07 dwelling units per acre complies with density standard. Single family detached dwellings are permitted subject to Administrative (Type One) review. A plat will be required. A landscape plan will be required and be sure to include street trees in the parkway. 2. The site will be served electrical power by the City of Fort Collins Utilities. Power exists along East Prospect and there is conduit stubbed along Apex Drive coming from the east. Due to site constraints, we may need to have a utility coordination meeting to make sure all utilities have a place to be properly installed meeting minimum clearances. Normal development fees will apply. For further information, please contact Janet McTague, 224-6154.
