HomeMy WebLinkAboutSANCTUARY WEST - PDP - 30-07 - REPORTS - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING27. Question: (Resident) Why not go for rezoning to RL - Low Density
Residential, instead of the current Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood zoning?
Answer: No answer recorded at the meeting.
28. Question: (Resident) What about only 4 homes being accessed by a
private drive?
Answer: (City Planner) There has been a recent change to the Land
Use Code to allow more than 4 homes to be accessed by a
private drive.
29. Comment: (Resident) There appears to be an offset of your entry road
with the existing entry to the Ramblewood Apartments.
Response: (Applicant) Currently, yes, there is an offset shown. That will
be evaluated with our Project Development Plan submittal
and review.
30. Question: (Resident) Will we have public access to your open space?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, that is our intent.
31. Question: (Resident) Will your open space and detention areas be
better maintained than what the City does now with theirs?
Answer: (Applicant) Our intent is to maintain those areas extensively.
32. Question: (Resident) If the City does not mow its own lands, who will
charge them to have them mowed?
Answer: No answer recorded at the meeting.
0
20. Question: (Resident) I do not understand where your consumers are
coming from? Why more housing when we do not need it?
Answer: (Applicant) People do want new homes in this area. A large
percent of the buyers in this development will come from
within 5 miles of this site.
21. Comment: (Resident) You could cut out some of the duplexes and still
meet the City's minimum density requirement.
Response: (Applicant) But that would have a negative effect on the
prices of the homes, making them less affordable.
22. Comment: (Resident) I have serious privacy issues with some of the
duplexes being right next to me.
Response: (Applicant) We can at least look into some possible options.
23. Comment: (Resident) I suggest you move the centrally -located duplexes
and not continue the street east to west between the pockets
of homes.
Response: No response recorded at the meeting.
24. Question: (Resident) Is that a street or sidewalk along the very west
edge of the development, next to the new duplexes?
Answer: (Applicant) That is a sidewalk.
25. Question: (Resident) Why is this development even necessary, with
Bellwether Farm and all those new homes? The bottom line
for you is dollars. This will change our neighborhood.
Answer: No answer recorded at the meeting.
26. Comment: (Resident) Your sanctuary will interfere with our estuary.
Response: No response recorded at the meeting.

15. Question: (Resident) How will elementary school children from this
development access Irish Elementary School?
Answer: (Applicant) By a bicycle/pedestrian trail network to streets to
the north that is being planned in this development.
16. Question: (Resident) What impacts will this development have on the
schools?
Answer: (City Planner) The impacts will be evaluated with the
applicant's Project Development Plan submittal and review.
The Poudre R-1 School District is part of the City's
development review process.
17. Question: (Resident) In the last 10 years there have been several
magna-floods. The current mitigation is inadequate. What
assurance is there that this development will not create
additional flood hazards?
Answer: (Applicant) Our design engineer will be designing the project
to ensure that flood mitigation is adequately in place. There
will be enhancements to the existing drainage channel and
facilities associated with this development.
18. Question: (Resident) Regarding the duplex units, could they become
rentals? We have a concern about college students living
here.
Answer: (Applicant) We cannot put rental restrictions on this
development. However, this product is almost always
homeowner occupied, not rentals.
19. Question: (Resident) Will there be basic handicapped accessibility in
any of these homes?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, some of the homes will be handicapped
accessible.
4
9. Comment: (Resident) We question the need for the 8 duplex units in the
center of the development. They do not fit in with the
surrounding existing homes.
Response: (Applicant) There are minimum density requirements in the
Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District. There is also
a requirement for 2 housing types in the development.
10. Comment: (Resident) This development takes away our open space.
Response: (Applicant) The "open space" you are referring to is actually
privately -owned, developable land.
11. Question: (Resident) Will there have to be a street connection from this
development to Cherry Street, to the north?
Answer: (Applicant) No, after meeting with City Engineering on the
site it has been determined that there will not have to be a
vehicular connection to Cherry Street; however, there will be
a bicycle/pedestrian connection.
12. Question: (Resident) What will happen to the lands to the north and
east of this proposed development? What about street
lighting?
Answer: (Applicant) We cannot speak to what will happen on the
lands to the north and east. Those are not our properties.
The City controls the type of lighting on public streets and
we will provide our own lighting on private streets and
drives.
13. Question: (Resident) Aren't there provisions in the Northwest Subarea
Plan (NSP) about minimizing lighting and curb & gutter in
this area?
Answer: (Applicant) There are some recommendations in the NSP;
however, the plan is generally a guide.
14. Question: (Resident) What is your build -out timeframe?
Answer: (Applicant) We would hope that it would be about 2-1/2
years.
3
3. Question: (Resident) The duplexes on the west side are oriented in
what direction? What type of fencing is proposed along the
west property line?
Answer: (Applicant) Those duplexes will front to the west, with W high
cedar wood fences.
4. Question: (Resident) We have concerns about additional cars in the
area. How will this be addressed?
Answer: (Applicant) Our traffic study will evaluate the existing traffic,
include traffic projections for the new development, and
propose mitigation measures.
5. Question: (Resident) Will there be any other traffic control at the North
Taft Hill Road and LaPorte Avenue intersection?
Answer: (Applicant) Both the City and Larimer County will be doing
some improvements in that area. They will determine what
type of traffic control there will be.
6. Comment: (Resident) We have concerns about additional traffic and
pollution associated with these 200+ cars.
Response: No response recorded at the meeting.
7. Comment: (Resident) Most existing houses to the north have 1-car
garages. Your new homes will have a negative effect on our
property values.
Response: (Applicant) New homes set values of used homes. Your home
values will increase with the build -out of these new homes.
8. Question: (Resident) Your park, clubhouse and pool will be for the
benefit of your residents only?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, the clubhouse and pool will be for our
residents only. The open space will have public access.

Sanctuary West Neighborhood Meeting
Community Planning and Environmental Services
Current Planning
City of Fort Collins
July 27, 2007
Dear Resident:
On Wednesday, August 15, 2007, from 7:00 p.m. to approximately 9:00 p.m. in the City Council chambers, in
the City building at 300 LaPorte Avenue (northeast comer of LaPorte Avenue and North Meldrum Street)*, the
City of Fort Collins Planning Department will facilitate a neighborhood information meeting to discuss a
potential development proposal in your neighborhood.
The potential development proposal is named Sanctuary West and the property is located on the north side of
LaPorte Avenue, just west of North Taft Hill Road, and north of Poudre School District administrative building
and Poudre High School. The applicant is proposing a 116 dwelling unit residential project (64 duplex units
and 52 single-family detached units) on 26 acres. The property is in the LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood Zoning District. A "vicinity" map identifying and locating the proposed project site is attached.
A conceptual site plan will be presented by the applicant at the neighborhood meeting.
The purpose of this meeting on August 15th is to give all participants the opportunity to ask questions of the
applicant and express their concerns in an informal setting. A formal development request has not yet been
made to the City; and, no decisions will result from this meeting. Once submitted for review by the City
the development request must comply with the requirements & standards as set forth in the City's Land
Use Code. It must complete the standard development review process, ending with a public hearing
where a decision on the project will be made. Affected property owners will be notified by letter of a
future public hearing. The applicant will be present to introduce the proposal. Also, City representatives will
be present to respond to questions about the proposed development, City policies and regulations, and to record
notes of the meeting.
The list of affected property owners for this public information meeting is derived from official records of the
Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and record keeping, or because of
rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed. Please feel free to notify your neighbor
of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity to attend. If you are unable to attend this
meeting, written comments are welcome.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call our office at 221-6750.
Sincerely
464 ok-�
Stephen Olt,
City Planner
*The City of Fort Collins will make reasonable accommodations for access to City services, programs,
and activities and will make special communication arrangements for persons with disabilities. Please
