HomeMy WebLinkAboutSUNRISE RIDGE, FIRST FILING - PDP - 13-05A - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)proceed with construction, subject to the requirements and fees of the Development Construction Permit. 25. The contact at Public Service Company/Xcel Energy is Mr. Len Hildebrand, 225-7848. 26. The contact at US West/Qwest is Mr. Bob Rulli, 377-6401. 27. A utility coordination meeting may be needed in order to provide separate utilities to each individual unit within the duplexes. 0 Any existing sidewalk, curb, or gutter that is damaged or in disrepair must be repaired prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. 17. Rather than construct improvements along Strauss Cabin Road as required in 24-95 of the City Code, the developer has the option to provide an escrow for the construction of the local street portion. This local street portion shall include the frontage along the County parcel, for a distance of approximately 580 feet. 18. Provided that an escrow in -lieu of construction is utilized, the 1,000 feet of offsite design in each direction (per the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards) of Strauss Cabin Road will not apply. Instead, enough design needs to be shown on the construction drawings to ensure that the Rock Creek Drive/Strauss Cabin Road intersection will operate safely given the site constraints to the north. 19. A TIS will need to be evaluated to verify if interim improvements to Strauss Cabin Road are needed at this time (such as a left turn lane for southbound Strauss Cabin Road onto westbound Rock Creek Drive). Any improvements required that are interim in nature and not full improvements will not satisfy the construction or escrow in -lieu of construction requirement. 20. If Tract F of Willow Brook is not owned by the applicant at the time of public hearing, then a Letter of Intent from Village Homes indicating a conveyance to the applicant will be required. 21. Please note that Lot Seven has only 40 feet of lot width. The LCUASS requires that there be at least one on -street parallel parking for each lot located on a cul-de-sac. If Lot Seven features a three -car wide driveway, then there would be insufficient area for such a parking space. Perhaps the width of this lot could be widened. Or, parking could be provided within the planter area in the middle of the cul-de-sac. 22. Please note that access to Lot 12 shall be from Rock Creek Drive only. Access to Lots 3 — 9 shall be from the cul-de-sac only. 23. Normally, the applicant is responsible for designing the minor arterial frontage for a distance of 1,000 feet in each direction. 24. A Development Agreement will be required prior to recording of the plans. For further information, please contact Marc Virata, Development Review Engineer, 221-6605. When the Development Agreement, Utility Plans, and Planning documents (site plan and landscape plan for the common areas and tracts) are all signed and recorded, the project is entitled to 5 Also since there is a structure at that location it should already have erosion protection in the ditch. Even though the agreement with the ditch company says they cannot "enter into any separate agreement with any property owners within the basin concerning the discharge of storm water into the FCRID", it may be possible if the site constraints dictate it and both the ditch company and the City Stormwater Utility can agree to it. The ditch company will need to approve the construction plans. 10. The owners of the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch will need to approve the construction plans. The Operations Manager is Steve Smith with the North Poudre Irrigation Company, (970)568-3612. 11. Water and wastewater service in this area is provided by the FCLWD/SFCSD. For further information, please contact Terry Farrill, 226- 3104. 12. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. To determine the scope of this study and which intersections to analyze, please contact Eric Bracke or Ward Stanford, 221-6630. Keep in mind that if the T.I.S. is reduced in scope for vehicles, it must still address other modes of travel such as pedestrians, bicycles and transit. For further information regarding non - vehicular modes of travel, please contact David Averill at 416-2643. 13. The Street Oversizing Fee will be based on square footage of the single family detached houses. The City also collects the Larimer County Road Impact Fee. Please contact Matt Baker, 970-221-6605, for an estimate of these fees which are payable at the time of building permit issuance. Please note that fees are adjusted annually based on the Denver -Boulder consumer price index and that there may be increases in 2006 independent of the C.P.I. (There is information on the Street Oversizing Fee on the City's web site at www.fcaov.com.) 14. It may be necessary to dedicate any additional public right-of-way for Strauss Cabin Road which is classified as a minor arterial. As such, at total of 84 feet of right-of-way is required. Where Sunrise Ridge abuts this roadway, additional dedication would be required such that there would be 42 feet of right-of-way as measured from the centerline to the new property line. In addition, a 15-foot wide standard utility easement is needed behind the right-of-way. 15. Please note that a minor arterial street includes on -street bike lanes. 16. If Strauss Cabin Road was not improved by Larimer County to the minor arterial standard, then the normal requirement is that the applicant is required to provide an interim improvement that would include 36-feet of pavement for a distance that ties back into the nearest improved arterial. 0 must be located within 400 feet of the building. Due to the length of the cul-de-sac, it may be practical to place a hydrant in a planter area in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Such a planter must be sized so that there remains a minimum of 20 of unobstructed access around the circumference with a 50-foot radius. Be sure that there is a minimum of 36-inches of clearance around all hydrants. For further information, please contact Ron Gonzales, 221-6570. 5. The site will be served electricity by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department. The source of electrical power is the northeast corner of Rock Creek Drive and Northern Lights Drive. Normal electrical charges will apply. There would be a credit for any development charges that have already been paid. Any system modification, such as moving vaults or streetlights will be at the developer's expense. For an estimate of the 2005 charges, please refer to the handout. 6. To discuss reducing the public street lighting along Rock Creek Drive (collector roadway), please contact Doug Martine, 221-6700. The electrical meter should be on the opposite side of the house as the gas meter. For further information, please contact Judy Dahlgren, 221-6700. 7. This site is in the McClelland/Mail Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $3,717.00/acre which it is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is issued. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. 8. In the McClelland's/Mail Creek drainage basin, onsite detention is required with a 0.5 cfs/ac release rate for the 100 year storm. Extended detention is required for water quality treatment. If the Willow Brook detention system is to be used for some of the detention it will need to be analyzed to show that the overall volume and release rate is meeting the intent of the Master Plan. Detention ponds for water quantity and quality need to be in a separate tract that is owned and maintained by all the lot owners using the detention system. 9. There is a storm sewer to the north side of this site which may be used as an outfall. The number of outfall points has been negotiated with the ditch company. I have sent information to Northern Engineering since the Conceptual Review concerning these outfall points and suggest they come into Stormwater Utility office to get familiar with the Master Plan. Since this outfall is at the higher end of the site it may not be possible to drain into it. Another option appears to be to drain to the low end of the site to the north by the bridge crossing the ditch. This would allow a lower outfall and would be contained on the site, avoiding offsite easements. 3 y .. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: Sunrise Ridge Residential Development At Strauss Cabin Road MEETING DATE: September 19, 2005 APPLICANT: Mr. Kelly Smith c/o Mr. Michael Chalona, Land Images, 1136 East Stuart Street, Suite 2040, Fort Collins, CO 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request to subdivide a 9.23 acre parcel in the Urban Estate zone district into 13 one-half acre lots. Five of the lots could include a duplex for a total of 18 dwelling units. The site is located on the west side of Strauss Cabin Road approximately one-half mile south of Harmony Road. COMMENTS: 1. The site is zoned U-E, Urban Estate. The plan complies with the requirements of the zone in that all lots meet the required minimum lot size of one-half acre. Both single family and duplex dwelling units are permitted. The number of units, 18, is allowed, subject to the density calculation meeting the requirements of Section 3.8.18 — Residential Density Calculations. As proposed, the P.D.P. would be subject to administrative review by the Hearing Officer (Type One Review). 2. The site plan includes a small portion of land that was created by the dedication of public streets in Willow Brook. This parcel is shown to be part of Lots One and Two and is zoned L-M-N. This parcel must be rezoned to Urban Estate. Such rezoning may be initiated by Staff since the parcel was created by the City accepting the dedication of the public streets. 3. At the time of platting, Tract A should be called out to be future potential right-of-way. 4. The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. All addresses must be clearly visible from a public street.
