HomeMy WebLinkAboutSWIFT ADDITION TO FOSSIL LAKE P.U.D. - COUNTY REFERRAL - 33-01(I) - CORRESPONDENCE - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEWthe application, then, if the development contains more than forty acres, the applicant must
either provide one (or reserve space for one) or make legally binding arrangements (such as
an ODP) with adjacent property owners satisfactory to the County, upon recommendation of
the Director (as that term is defined in the City's Land Use Code) to provide one that meets .
all other locational and design criteria of this Appendix I." This requirement was mirrored
form the Fort Collins Land Use Code, however this portion of the LUC has been modified.
Arrange with Pete Wray (city's Advance Planning Dept.) and Russ Legg (Larimer County
Planning Director) how to apply this policy.
16. Two estate lots are within the Resource Management Area.
17. Local Street access should be shown connecting to north adjacent property every 660'.
18. South adjacent property (the portion not in the Resource Management Area) should have
access because it is "developable". One way to provide this access is to extend the cul-de-sac
in the southeast corner so its ROW actually touches the south property line. This would
provide a point of access if needed, and could remain as a cul-de-sac if not needed.
19. The Natural Resources Department may wish to pursue preservation of lower property as
being within close proximity to critical habitat for Eagles, but for now we must assume that it
is developable.
20. Please show the creek on the site plan.
21. The regional bike/pedestrian trail should be coordinated with adjoining properties. We would
rather see the regional bike trail to the west of this project be incorporated in the Fossil Lake
PUD area rather than on Dr. Beard's property. If the Beard property doesn't develop for 50
years, we will be without trail connectivity for that time.
22. The site is partially in the McClelland's Basin and partially in the Fossil Creek Basin.
23. The McClelland's Creek F000dplain should be mapped through the site. No development
should occur within the 100 year floodplain. The recently adopted city rainfall criteria should
be used to determine the floodplain.
24. A drainage and erosion control plan and report should be submitted. The report should
include hydrological modeling by SWMM and hydraulics by HEC-2 or HEC-RAS. Water
quality issues'should be addressed in that report.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions about any of these comments.

City staff has reviewed the proposed Fossil Lake PUD - Swift Addition that has been submitted
for Concept Technical Review and offer the following comments:
1. The lot requirement specified for the Estate Residential Area in the IGA shall be at least 100'
wide with a 30' front yard setback, 20' side yard setbacks, and a 25' rear yard setback. All
lots in the Estate Residential Area must conform to these lot requirements. There is no
process set up to request a modification to this standard.
2. The undefined townhome/multi-family area is not acceptable as shown. We require to see the
site layout for this area as well.
3. Please provide documentation describing and quantifying expected changes to Fossil Lake
PUD's Traffic Impact Study.
4. Please provide a context diagram showing roadway and path connectivity.
5. Although the city's Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan shows a bikeway trail entering the site
on the west and leaving the site on the north, an addition trail should be provided to the east
to satisfy pedestrian and bicycle level of service requirements.
6. Show how potential future school site on County Road 36 relates to this site.
7. The city's Natural Resources Department would like to review the landscape plan and the
Resource Management Plan for this project.
8. Street connections are needed every 660' along property boundaries where "developable"
property abuts your property. Provide.street connections to all "developable" adjacent
property to the south, east, and north.
9. Some lots appear to be in the resource management area.
10. All streets must be built to city standards.
11. Show the details of how the bike/pedestrian trail crosses the "open space and stormwater
detention area."
12. The offsite detention pond needs a water quality feature.
13. Based on the Fossil Creek reservoir Area Plan, the area designated for Mixed Use
Neighborhoods and Estate Residential Area was slightly off (See attached redlined plan from
Pete Wray). A check on the land use calculations is as follows:
LMN-3 Single Family 14 net acres w/ 37 DU =2.6 DU/AC
Townhomes 11.1 acres w/ 66 DU =6 DU/AC
Total 27.1 AC =4.1 DU/ NET AC
ESTATE AREA 27.6 Acres w/ 54 DU = 1.9 DU/ NET AC
14. These corrected density calculations for the Mixed -use Neighborhood and the Estate
Residential still conform to the densities specified in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan.
15. One neighborhood center must be located within each quarter section. This quarter section
does not have one. The IGA states that "if a neighborhood center does not exist at the time of
