You may contact me at 221-6341 to schedule a meeting to discuss these comments, if necessary. Sincerely, A&RDR- Steve Olt Project Planner cc: Engineering Stormwater Utility Transportation Planning Traffic Operations Natural Resources James Bruce Construction Company Project File #42-00 11. Internal Boulevard does not provide 2 points of access into the industrial park and this new development. 12. Regarding Section 4.4(D)(3) of the LUC, what neighborhood center will 90% of the dwelling units in this development be within % mile of? 13. The developer for the Stoddard Property must work out with the industrial park any issues regarding shared streets. 14. How can the "future connection" to the north, through the existing railroad switching yard, actually occur? 15. Has this developer negotiated with the mobile home park to the east for the proposed trail connection? One trail connection is OK and this developer must construct the bridge across the Lake Canal. 16. The proposed trail to the east, going across the Lake Canal, cuts through an identified Urban Forest that is not shown on the ODP. Natural Resources just received a new map showing this feature. There should be no loss of trees in the Urban Forest. A 50' buffer must be shown around the Urban Forest. 17. A 50' buffer is required from the top of bank along the Lake Canal. 18. The ODP must show correct locations of off -site wetlands, along with the required buffer zones. This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing agencies. Under the development review process and schedule there is a 90 day plan revision submittal time -frame (by the applicant to the City) mandated by the City. The 90 day turnaround period begins on the date of this comment letter (May 31, 2001) prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department. In this case, revisions must be submitted no later than Wednesday, August 29, 2001 by 5:00 p.m. Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the revisions. At this staff review meeting the item will be discussed and it will be determined if the project is ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. If so, will be scheduled for the nearest Board hearing date with an opening on the agenda. 8. A copy of the comments received from Katie Moore of the Engineering Department is attached to this comment letter. A red -lined copy of the ODP is being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Katie, at 221-6750, if you have questions about her comments. 9. Steve Olt of the Current Planning Department has offered the following comments: a. The secondary point of access issue is critical and must be addressed with the next round of review. The Poudre Fire Authority is saying that International Boulevard at Timberline Road provides only one point of access. Other options must be investigated. b. This property is in the LMN — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zoning district. This is a repeat comment on the red -lined ODP that is being forwarded to the applicant. c. The Legal Description on the ODP indicates the AREA TO BE ANNEXED. This property is already annexed into the City. This is a repeat comment on the red -lined ODP that is being forwarded to the applicant. d. The "Future Connection" to the north, into the existing railroad switching yard, cannot be considered a second point of access for this development, unless it can be acquired and built with Phase 1 of development of the Stoddard Property. e. The net residential density on this ODP cannot subtract out the street rights -of way. Section 3.8.18(B)(1)(a) of the LUC allows dedicated right-of- way for arterial streets only to be subtracted. f. The reference to "unless otherwise dedicated to the City of Fort Collins" in Project Note #2 on the ODP must be eliminated. The City will not want common open spaces dedicated to the City. This is a repeat comment on the red -lined ODP that is being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Steve, at 221-6341, if you have questions about these comments. The following comments and concerns were expressed at Staff Review on May 23, 2001: 10. The ODP is not meeting the requirement for no development being more than 660' from a single point of access (without providing a second point of access). d. Water quality needs to be provided. Please discuss. Please contact Basil, at 224-6035, if, you have comments about these comments. 4. GayLene Rossiter of Transfort stated that they have no concerns or comments regarding this development proposal. 5. Craig Foreman of the Parks Planning Department stated they like the proposed park location and size. in this area. They would like this park to be a public park. Combine any development requirements with City funds. 6. Doug Moore of the Natural Resources Department offered the following comments: a. Show the new Urban Forest and Wetland mapping. The new mapping from John Barnett's Ecological Characterization Map needs to be transferred to the ODP. b. Show the appropriate buffer zones on the ODP. A 50' buffer is required around the Urban Forest, measured from the drip line/outside edge of the forest. A 50' buffer is required along the Lake Canal irrigation ditch that serves as a wildlife corridor. The buffer is measured from the top of bank of the ditch. C. Redefine the pedestrian bridge location. Work with the Natural Resources and Transportation Planning Departments to find an appropriate location within the Urban Forest buffer zone for the pedestrian bridge to help minimize the impact on the forest. Please contact Doug, at 224-6143, if you have questions about these comments. 7. Pete Wray of the Advance Planning Department offered the following comments: a. The regional trail along the Lake Canal is the responsibility of the developer. b. An LMN neighborhood center is required and needs to be shown on the ODP. Please contact Pete, at 221-6754, if you have questions about these comments.
