Home My WebLink AboutSTORYBOOK - PDP - 49-98 - CORRESPONDENCE - (7).f I 8. Kathleen Reavis of the Transportation Planning Department stated that she will have detailed comments to offer after reviewing the TIA that deals with all forms of transportation. Bicycle/pedestrian lanes, including pathways from the cul-de-sacs to County Road 11, are important considerations associated with this development. 9. GayLene Rossiter of Transfort stated that there is no public transit service in this area yet, but they have plans to provide service up County Road 9E in the future. 10. A neighborhood meeting will be required to be held for this development proposal prior to formal submittal of the request. The potential developers of the Storybook Overall Development Plan (that includes this site) have scheduled a neighborhood meeting for their project to be held on Wednesday night, December 3, 1997 at Tavelli Elementary School, starting at 7:00 p.m. It is possible that they could share this meeting with you so that the neighbors could get a comprehensive overview of what is going to occur in this area. Please contact Eldon Ward, at 226-4074, to discuss the possibility of a shared meeting. 11. This development request will be subject to the Development Review Fee Schedule that is available in the Current Planning Department office. The fees are due at the time of submittal of the PDP and Final Compliance documents for review by City staff and affected outside reviewing agencies. 12. This development proposal is subject to the requirements as set forth in the new Land Use Code, specifically Articles 2. Administration (Development Review Procedures), 3. General Development Standards, and 4. (Zoning) Districts. There are also submittal requirements that must be met, and copies of these requirements are available in the Current Planning Department. 5. Water and sanitary sewer services for development on this property will be provided by the ELCO Water District and the Boxelder Sanitation District. You should contact them directly about their ability to serve this development and to discuss their requirements. 6. The Parks Planning Department indicated that both neighborhood and community parkland fees will apply to this development and the fees will be based on the square footage of each residential dwelling unit. 7. Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility offered the following comments: a. This site is located within the Cooper Slough drainage basin, where there are presently no basin fees and there is also no approved basin master plan. It is located on Stormwater inventory map #12D. b. The biggest problem with this site is getting an outfall system and No. 8 Outlet Ditch Company approval. If the major outfall and approval issues can be accomplished, the standard drainage and erosion control reports and plans will be required. They must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado. A SWMM model run would be a requirement, showing all off -site flows and sizing the on -site detention. A 2-year historic release rate is the standard requirement, but the Ditch Company in this area has required double the total retention with a manual release into the canal. They are also asking for a fee from the proposed Richard's Lake development to the northwest. C. The No. 8 Outlet Ditch Company is the same one that the Richard's Lake PUD is trying to deal with. The contact people are Bill Johnston (482- 7671), the ditch rider, and Butch Sommermeyer (498-9900), the attorney for the Ditch Company. d. Acquisition of any necessary off -site drainage easements may also be an issue and are the responsibility of the developer. Letters of intent (from the grantor) are required on the PDP submittal date and the final easements are required with the Final Compliance submittal. e. Water quality needs to be considered and will be required in the new Stormwater Criteria Manual. The No. 8 Outlet Ditch Company also requires extended detention to treat runoff. Please contact Glen, at 221-6589, if you have questions about these comments. 2. Roger Frasco of the Poudre Fire Authority stated that probably 8 to 9 fire hydrants would be needed in this development. A temporary emergency access to County Road 11 (to meet the maximum of 660' to any lot from a single point of access) will be required until the interior north - south road is completed. Also, the turnarounds at the ends of the cul-de-sacs must be 80' in diameter. 3. Sheri Wamhoff of the Engineering Department offered the following comments: a. A Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA), addressing all forms of transportation, is required with your PDP submittal. Please contact Eric Bracke, at 221-6062, to schedule a "scoping" meeting to discuss the information needed in the analysis. b. This development will be responsible for off -site public street improvements to County Road 11, Mountain Vista Drive, and County Road 9E (to Vine Drive). The necessary improvements will be based on information provided in your TIA for the project. You should coordinate the necessary improvements to these streets with the Richard's Lake Development to the northwest and the Waterfield Development to the south. Depending on the timing of the developments, there may be some repays from one development to another. C. Street oversizing fees of $895 per dwelling unit for single family residential will apply to this development proposal. The fees will be collected at the time of issuance of building permits. Possible modifications to the fees are going to City Council for review and approval sometime late this year (1997) or early next year (1998). If approved, the new fees will be based on vehicle trip generations by the development. d. The standard utility plan requirements must be submitted to the City for review and approval. e. The locations of the proposed access points along Mountain Vista Drive and County Road 11 will have to be evaluated against the street separation requirements in Section 3.6.3 - Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards of the new Land Use Code. Please contact Sheri, at 221-6750, if you have questions about these comments. 4. Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department stated that the property is located in the LMN - Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District. The conceptual plan appears to comply with the requirements of the district based on the proposed land use. This will be formally determined during the development review process. # 3 X` CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins MEETING DATE: November 3, 1997 ITEM: Storybook, Phase 1 - Project Development Plan (PDP) APPLICANT: Gary Mackey 6804 Aaron Drive Fort Collins, CO. 80524 LAND USE DATA: Request for 65 [patio -home style] single family residential lots on 8.9 acres located at the northeast corner of County Road 11 and Mountain Vista Drive (County Road 50).
