(see attached copy of diagram D-2-b). The applicant should submit a copy of this variance request and supporting diagrams to the Fort Collins Engineering so that City Staff can forward the County Engineering Department a recommendation on the issue. 3. Engineering - The 20-foot setback for the garage doors from the back of walk needs to be maintained. The City would not support a variance to this. A clear walk area needs to be provided. Allowing shorter driveways would cause the sidewalk to be blocked when somebody parked in the drive. The applicant has verbally indicated to city staff that they intend to provide the said garage door setback, however we would like it to be double checked with the next round of revisions. 4. Engineering - Provide concrete to the property line with the pan at 5tonewater and Shallow Pond. The applicant has verbally indicated to city staff that they intend to provide said concrete to property line, however we would like it to be double checked with the next round of revisions. 5. Engineering - Would like to see the design of the faux stone walls within the Cul-de-sac islands. Maybe a safety concern depending on the design. Walls are not normally allowed within medians. In an informal meeting with city staff, the applicant has agreed to provide a sketch of the walls in cul-de-sac islands. We would like safety concerns regarding the design of these wall to be double checked with the next round of revisions. 6. Engineering - It should be noted that the statements in the text regarding the sidewalk widths are incorrect. Trilby road will have a 5 foot detached sidewalk and all other adjacent roads will have a 4.5-foot min detached sidewalk. The applicant has indicated to city staff that they intend to fix this discrepancy in the text, however we would like it to be double checked with the next round of revisions. 7. 5tormwater - Drainage and Erosion Control report should be provided. 8. 5tormwater - Need to show that facilities designed with previous Fossil Lake filings were designed to accommodate flows from this parcel. 9. Advance Planning / Current Planning / Transportation Planning - The 8 foot wide pedestrian path connecting the project with the path along the southern property line funnels all pedestrian traffic through a private driveway area. We highly recommend that the layout of the pedestrian path as it goes through this private drive area be designed with a little more sensitivity to the issue of avoiding awkward public space vs. private space experiences. We suggest that Comm. .ity Planning and Environmental .,ervices Current Planning Citv of Fort Collins June 1, 2001 Matt Lafferty Larimer County Planning Department P.O. Box 1190 Fort Collins, CO 80522-90 City staff has revised our comments for Fossil Lake P.U.D_ 3rd Filing based on a conversation I had with Russ Legg on May 31, 2001. I asked Russ Legg whether or not the supplemental regulations for the Fossil Lake Reservoir Area apply to this project, and after some research, Russ indicated that those regulations do not apply for this project. That being the case, the comments sent on May 2"d need to be revised. Also, I met with the applicant, Dave Brown, on May 291h, and he committed to make many of the changes that we had requested. Please see our revised comments below: 1. Current Planning - There is no longer a need to bring the modification requests to the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board since the supplemental regulations for the Fossil Lake Reservoir Area do not apply to this application. 2. Current Planning / Engineering - The proposed plan has a modified street design that differs from the required local street standard. Our Engineering Department has indicated that in order for the project to obtain a City Staff recommendation of approval for this modified street section, the following issues should be addressed: • Normally, a detached sidewalk is required (see the attached diagram D- 2-b), but if the proposed attached sidewalk is at least 5 feet wide, then the Engineering Department may consider supporting a variance to the standard. In my conversation with Dave Brown, he indicated that he will supply a street cross section diagram of the proposed street design. • Normally, a 13 foot wide utility easement is required to be dedicated adjacent to local streets when such local streets have attached sidewalks. If there are any locations where a 13 foot wide utility easement is not being provided adjacent to the attached sidewalk, City Engineering Staff may consider supporting a variance to this requirement if it can be shown in a diagram that all the utilities can be accommodated without such easement. In my conversation with Dave Brown, he indicated that he will supply a diagram of the utility lines as requested. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
