HomeMy WebLinkAboutFRANTZ REPLAT - PDP - 47-01 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)8. Transportation: a. The alternative modes portion of the Traffic Impact Study (TI5) is waived. Contact Eric Bracke to see if he will waive the vehicular component of the TIS. b. Harmony is designated as on arterial. Adequate right-of-way will need to be dedicated as part of this platting. c. Access to Harmony can only be allowed for the existing house. The southern lot needs to gain access off Mariposa Ct. 9. Historic Preservation: a. As long as there are no structures over 50 years old on the site, no comment. 10. Park Planning: a. The neighborhood and community parkland fees 'are based on square footage of each unit, and are due at the time of building permit. 11. Current Planning: a. Refer to Section 3 (General Development Standards), and Section 4.3 (RL Zoning District) in the Land Use Code for the standards that apply to your propose development. The Land Use Code is available to view on the internet at www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/codes.php. b. If there is a subdivision plat as part of this development request, you will be required to provide a copy of "Certificate of Taxes Due" with the mylar of the subdivision plat when it is brought to the City's Current Planning Department for recording. The certificate may be obtained from the Lorimer County Treasurer's Office and must reflect a zero (0) balance before the City will accept the mylar. Larimer County is requiring this document, showing no outstanding property taxes, before they will record subdivision plats. c. The type of project application you will need to submit is a plat, which will be subject to type 1 review, meaning that there will be a hearing with a hearing officer for the approval. a f. You will be allowed to put a driveway from Mariposa court on existing ROW to access the proposed house, but we will need to execute a formal Development Agreement to specify that the public street would have to be built at such time as further development occurs. g. Any street design or street improvements will need to be made in accordance with Lorimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). h. Private drives are limited to a maximum dead-end length of 150 feet and must be at least 20 feet wide. 4. Water & Wastewater Utility: a. The site is in the Fort Collins Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District. 5. Natural Resources: a. It needs to be determined if the Pleasant Valley Canal is being used as a wildlife corridor. An ecological characterization study done by a wildlife consultant can determine if such a wildlife corridor exists. If a wildlife corridor exists, there will be a 50 foot buffer required along the ditch. If you provide this 50.foot buffer on your proposed design anyway, the ecological characterization study won't be necessary. b. If there any prairie dogs on site, they will have to be relocated or humainly eradicated. c. We ask that a single trash hauler be used to minimize traffic impacts. d. Native grasses and plant materials should be used wherever appropriate, and bluegrasses should be minimized. e. If construction lasts for more than 6 months, you will have to file a permit for fugitive dust control with Lorimer County. 6. Fire Department: a. Address must be visible from the street on which you front using a minimum 6" numerals on a contrasting background. b. If the new house is beyond 660 feet from the intersection of Westbury Drive and Mariposa Street, it is of access and will need to be fire sprinklered. c. The maximum dead end private drive length is 150 feet from the end of Mariposa Ct. (or provide a circle drive if longer). 7. Light and Power: a. We have a system you could tap into in Mariposa Ct., or you could come in from Harmony with and easement across the northern lot. b. Coordinate transformer locations. c. Normal development fees apply. 3 COMMENTS: 1. Zoning Department: a. Density is not an issue in the RL zone, just make sure the minimum lot size is at least 6000 square feet. b. Every lot must abut either a street or a private drive. 2. Stormwater Utility Department: Location: 1309 West Harmony Road a. This site is in the McClellands/Mail Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $3,717/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The site is in inventory grid #50. b. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. c. The PV&L canal will have to approve the construction plans. d. The outfall through Westbury was planned to drain between lots 2 and 3 of Westbury and into Westbury Drive. An easement may need to be provided on the north lot for the south lot to drain to the easement in Westbury. Mariposa Court could also be used as an outfall. e. Onsite detention is required for both water quantity and water quality. Extended detention is required to treat runoff. The standard release rate is the 2 year historic but the design engineer could research the Westbury drainage study to see what rate was assumed. f. The PV&L Canal has spilled in the past, so the spill needs to be considered in the drainage plan to route the spills around the buildings. g. An alternative to onsite detention, since this is only one residential structure, is the design engineer can research the assumed imperviousness in the masterplan. If the total site including'/2 the Right Of Way has an imperviousness equal to or less than the assumed imperviousness in the masterplan, detention may be waived for water quantity. 3. Engineering Department: a. Street Oversizing Fees are $1,624 per unit for single family housing. Check with Matt Baker for the specific amount of this fee for your project. b. The project may require a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that addresses site access, and all modes of transportation including automobile, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. c. You may be required to have a Development Agreement, a Development Construction Permit, and Utility Plans. d. The whole property should probably be platted. Included in this plat should be the dedication of ROW along Harmony to current standards, as well as the dedication of ROW at current standards to continue Mariposa Ct. onto the property. The placement of the ROW should not preclude the ability to meet horizontal design standards for a local residential street, and should terminate in a cul-de-sac no farther than 660' from Westbury Drive. Exact placement of the ROW should be determined by your engineering consultant. (We don't want this to preclude you locating the house approximately where it was shown on the drawing, but do want to provide for the possible redevelopment of this property.) e. The current access on Harmony will eventually be right in/right out only. 4 MEETING DATE: ITEM: APPLICANT: LAND USE DATA: October 8, 2001 1309 W.
