Home My WebLink AboutSUNOL ACRES (LOT 1, STROEBEL M.R.D.) - PDP - 31-97 - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTSSTATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES Sunol Acres is a project involving the subdivision of 5.1616 gross acres into 4 lots with a net of 1.29, 1.23, 1.26, and 1.24 acres respectively. Sunol Acres is zoned Urban Estates by the City of Ft. Collins. Lot one has an existing residence. The subdivision will be served by a 30' right of way (Charlie Lane), and all utilities. There is an existing water and gas line in the right of way. Sewer service will be installed with the development, serviced by the City of Ft. Collins Water and Wastewater Utility. The site will also be serviced by the City of Ft. Collins Light and Power Utility. The owners and/or buyers of the lots will comply with the existing covenants instituted in 1991 for the Strobel N[RD. The right of way will be paved according to existing city standards, with curb and gutter on both the north and south sides of the right of way, and sidewalk on the north side of the street. The south sidewalk will be installed when construction is completed for that property. Repayment agreements must be made with the proposed church site to the south of the property (perhaps with a letter of repayment from the church to avoid administrative involvement with the city) and with the owners of lot one, if sewer services are to be used by that residence.
