VOA Update
August 31, 2001
The Developer will be required to construct curb -and -gutter and sidewalks along the
Horsetooth Road frontage, at the appropriate location to accommodate the future ultimate
arterial street width of Horsetooth Road. Cost of paving will be estimated by the developer,
validated by the City, and that amount contributed as payment in lieu of installing the
pavement. Road base will be placed between the new gutter and the existing edge of
pavement.
5� Planning Staff Comments. VOA requested relief from two comments issued by CPES staff:
(1) a suggestion for an eight foot fence and plantings to mitigate a "tunnel" effect between
building fronts and a side yard; and (2) concrete stoops at unit entries to provide a minimal
hard surface outdoor space for residents. While both of these suggestions would enhance the
livability of the project, neither is a Land Use Code requirement. Greg Byrne has advised the
architect (Jennifer Thong) that they need not comply with them.
6. Other Requirements (prior to construction).
• Final Utility. After project approval by Current Planning, the final design details
will need to be completed and entered on the utility plans. Mylars will be provided for
signature by Utilities, Engineering, Traffic, Parks and Natural Resources Departments.
• Development Agreement. Our development review civil engineer for this project, Katie
Moore, has begun drafting the development agreement. We will provide the Developer a
draft within the next 2 weeks.
• Plat. The Developer should have all the information necessary to complete the plat.
• Coordination Meeting. To be scheduled when contractor has been selected, final utility
plans have been approved, development agreement is finalized, and plat is being
recorded.
• Development Construction Permit. Fees will be waived for construction inspection and
the permit administration fee, based on the fact that this is an affordable housing project.
However, the developer will need to post a bond, letter of credit or other suitable security
to guarantee the installation and maintenance of the public improvements being
constructed.
7. Projected Schedule. The Developer plans to resubmit plans to the City on September 19,
2001, assuming all comments have been addressed. They also plan to simultaneously submit
all plans to HUD. Then the processing at the City and at HUD can proceed in tandem:

VOA Update
1. Variances. I have instructed staff by e-mail memo to authorize the variances discussed in
Wednesday's meeting. A copy of that message is attached.
2. Brook Drive Bike/Ped Connection to Richmond Drive, Various Land Use Code (LUC)
references, as well as the Level of Service (LOS) Manual, provide the basis for this
requirement. The following LUC sections apply:
• 3.2.2 (A) & (B)
• 3.2.2 (C) (1) (b)
• 3.2.2 (C) (7)
• 3.6.3 (B)
• 3.6.4 (refers to the LOS Manual)
• LOS Manual pages 8-10 are attached for reference
The requirement will be for an 8-ft wide, asphalt paved bike/ped trail between Brook Drive
and Richmond Drive, within existing City right-of-way. In order to help with the design of
this trail, we have provided plans of this area that were created with the storm drainage pipe
that was installed there a few years ago. That should help the designer complete the
drawings of the off -site bike/ped trail from Brook Drive to Richmond Drive.
3. Street Oversizing Fees. Revised as follows:
• City Street Oversizing fees $ 35,530.03
• County Regional Road Impact Fees $ 6,780.00
TOTAL $ 42,310.03
4. Horsetooth Road Improvements Design and Construction Required. We were able to locate
design information for Horsetooth Road that had been done in the past with an earlier
development. We provided copies of that to the designer, to be incorporated into the VOA
designs and plans without further surveying and with minimal design efforts.
