future access.
11. In terms of public improvements, this developer is responsible for the
design and construction of Strauss Cabin Road along their frontage
including the portion bounded by the ditch and the county. The applicant
is required to provide the ultimate design plus 1000' of preliminary design
on either side of the property. The developer will not be required to
participate in the cost of bringing the bridge up to current city standards.
They will only have to show it in their design (plan and profiles only). The
City Engineering Department will not ask the developer to construct the
ultimate improvements on.Strauss Cabin Road at this time. Instead, we
will require for a Contribution in Aid for their local street portion (cash in
lieu of the construction).
12. The maximum length of a cul-de-sac is 660 feet.
13. The rural road standard, is only for projects that generate less than 300
trips per day where lot sizes are one acre or larger.
14. The owner of the easterly portion of the site, which contains the Fossil
Creek Inlet Ditch, may be required to sign the final plans.
15. Utility Plans are required at the time of submittal. A Development
Agreement is required prior to recording final plans. A Development
Construction Permit is required prior to beginning work in the field. For
further information, please contact Susan Joy,.221-6605.
16. The project should provide a connecting walkway to the existing walk
along the north property line. All lots within the project should have
access to this connecting walkway.
17. The Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch is a tributary to Fossil Creek Reservoir.
Therefore, a 100-foot buffer from future houses is required as measured
from top of bank: This buffer area should be re -vegetated with native
plants and grasses. If the buffer is decreased, then an Ecological
Characterization Study will be required in order to evaluate the impact on
the buffer area. A Fugitive Dust Permit is required to be obtained from
Larimer County Health Department. You are encouraged to reduce the
amount of irrigated blue grass turf. You are also encouraged to use a
single trash/recycling hauler to minimize the impact on the roadway. For
further information on natural resource issues, please contact Doug
Moore, at 221-6143.
18. A neighborhood information is recommended.

accordance with the classification of the roadway. Normal site and
development charges will apply. If the existing house is presently being
served by an electrical utility other than the City of Fort Collins, then there
may be small conversion charge added to the rate for a limited period of
time. For further information and an estimate of these fees, please
contact Monica Moore, 221-6700.
5. The site will be served domestic water by the Fort Collins -Loveland Water
District. Sanitary sewer will be provided by the South Fort Collins
Sanitation District. Please contact Terry Fardll, at 226-3104, for further
information about both special districts and their requirements.
6. This site is in the McClelland/Mail Creek drainage basin where the new
development fee is $3,717.00/acre which is 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. 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.
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 so if the outfall is not used a separate discharge agreement will
be needed. 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. Also since there is a structure at that location it should
already have erosion protection in the ditch. The ditch company will need
to approve the construction plans. For further information, please call
Glen Schlueter, 221-6700.
7. Dedication of public right-of-way will be needed along both Strauss Cabin
Road and Rock Creek Drive. Strauss Cabin Road is classified as a two-
lane arterial with a total right-of-way width of 84 feet. One-half of this total
width, 42 feet, must be provided from the centerline of the roadway to the
property line. In addition, a 15 foot wide utility easement must be
dedicated next to this right-of-way dedication.
8. Rock Creek Drive is classified as a minor collector street, with parking,
with a total right-of-way of 76 feet. In addition, the utility easement along a
collector street is nine feet wide.
9. If any new local streets are dedicated, the total right-of-way is 51 feet,
again with the nine foot wide utility easement.

ITEM:. 5101 Strauss Cabin Road (South C.R. 7) Annexation,
Zoning and Subdivision .
MEETING DATE: October 25, 2004
APPLICANT: Mr. Kelly Smith c/o Mr. Michael Chalona, Land
Images, Inc., 1136 East Stuart Street, Suite xx, Fort
Collins, CO. 80525.
LAND USE DATA: Request to annex, zone and subdivide 8.8 acres
approximately one-half mile south of Harmony Road on the west side of Strauss
Cabin Road. The proposal is to divide the property -into-9-=1.3 single family lots.
Rock Creek Drive would be extended through the site -from Observatory Village
on the west to Strauss Cabin Road on the east. The parcel contains one existing
single family detached dwelling unit which would remain. The Fossil Creek Inlet
Ditch runs across the eastern portion of the site along Strauss Cabin Road.
COMMENTS:
According to the City's Structure Plan Map, the potential zoning is U-E,
Urban Estate. Based on 8.8 gross acres, this would allow a maximum of
17 dwelling units. The minimum lot size is one-half acre lots.
2. The U-E also allows the Cluster Plan option where if one-half of the site is
dedicated as open space, then the allowable 17 dwelling units could be
clustered within. the remaining half.
3. If the Cluster Plan option is not selected and the lots meet the one-half
acre minimum lot size, then the dimensional standards zone apply. These
are: minimum lot width shall be 100 feet; minimum depth of front yard
shall be 30 feet; minimum depth of rear yard shall be 25 feet; minimum
side yard width shall be 20 feet. If these standards cannot be met, then a
Modification will be necessary.
4. Upon annexation, the _site will be served electricity by the City of Fort
Collins Light and Power Utility. Electrical facilities are stubbed to the
property line on the west within the Rock Creek Drive right-of-way. These
facilities can serve the site and must be extended east to Strauss Cabin
Road. Public streets will be equipped with public street lighting in
