Thecre site is within the Fossil Creek Reservoir TDU zone (Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Density Overlay Zone District) and is a designated receiving area. It has been rezoned from FA-1 to PD (Planned Development) and upon approval of the Final Plat; the development will be annexed into the City of Fort Collins. This is a submittal for a Final Plat approval for the proposed subdivision. Currently portions of the land are used for pasture. The Fossil Creek Reservoir is located to the south o f t he p roperty a nd t he F ossil L ake R anch P UD d evelopment a buts the property to the north and west, the Swift Farm Addition to the east. The existing Fossil Lake Ranch PUD is currently under construction to the west of the property as larger lot, single family detached homes. Smaller lot p atio h omes a nd/or t ownhomes a re b eing c onstructed a long t he n orth a nd northwest portions of the property. To the northeast and east, small and large lot, single family homes are planned. The existing street, Rookery Court is stubbed into the property on its west side, Snowy Creek Drive is stubbed to the end of the property to the north and Rocky Stream Drive is constructed to the east property line. The applicant, The Sanctuary Development Corporation, is requesting that the property as shown on the Final Plat, be subdivided into 20 lots with an overall gross density of 1.28 units per acre and net density of 1.30 units per acre. A 50' landscape easement to the south of lots 17-20 as well as the existing agricultural uses will serve as open space and provide a buffer zone from the developed lots to the wildlife resources at the Fossil Creek Reservoir. As per the Larimer County Land Use Code Section 8 related to the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area, this property is designated as an Estate Residential Area. All lots would meet the zoning requirements for both minimum width at the front setback and minimum lot size. Lots 17-20 have an additional restriction for a rear yard setback of 50 feet as an additional buffer to the property to the south. Since Lot 1 of the Beard MLD restricts any further development, no TDU's are required as part of this subdivision (see letter from Russ Legg dated April 13, 2005). Another item to note is that the property owner has met on site with the County Parks and Open Lands Department, the City of Fort Collins Natural Resource Department and the Colorado Division of Wildlife on several occasions. Based upon their meetings, they have recommended a revised buffer setback from the required 114 mile buffer from Fossil Creek Reservoir to approximately 1,200 feet (see enclosed letter of January 3, 2000 from Ms. Daryl Burkhard). This revised buffer area is to the south of lots 17-20. The Final Plat as submitted adheres to the recommended buffer setback.
