HomeMy WebLinkAboutMARTINEZ PUD - FINAL - 4-97A - CORRESPONDENCE -F
Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning
Board for a decision due to outstanding issues regarding an off -site drainage easement
and a project access crossing of the railroad. When it is ready to go to the Board a date
will be scheduled for a public hearing, which would be held on the first or third Thursday
of each month. There is a mandatory minimum two week public notification period prior
to the public hearing.
Please return all drawings red -lined by City staff°with submission of any revisions you
may make. You may contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions about these'
comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.
Sincerely,

7. The public street on the Landscape Plan is referred to as both Mason Court
(Plant Note 13) and Fat Tire Lane. Mason Court would be more appropriate
since it aligns with Mason Street, to the south of Cherry Street.
8. Additional landscape buffering should be provided along the north property line
between the single family homes, the co -housing homes and the park.
9. A permit for the public street and utilities crossings over the railroad must be
secured from the railroad company prior to this development request going to the
Planning and Zoning Board for approval.
10. An easement for the potential future sidewalk connection from the
retail/commercial building to Cherry Street should be dedicated with the
subdivision plat.
General comments:
11. The Site Plan notes responsibility for maintenance of Tracts A through E. Who is
responsible for maintenance of Tract F - Public Access, Utility, and Drainage
Easement in the northwest corner of the development? Also, what is the
reference to Master Association and Associations "A", "B", and "C"?
12. There is a note in the southerly portion of the parking lot for the
retail/commercial/residential building that states "Temporary parking lot until
commercial building is built". What does this refer to?
13. The Site and Landscape Plans should be consistent regarding the designation of
Parcels 'A' through 'D', identifying the different elements of the development. The
Site Plan does not reference these parcels.
14. The word "easement" is misspelled in Plant Note 10 on the Landscape Plan. It is
shown as Limited Common Easmen (LCE).
15. A third Hackberry should be included on the east side of the co -housing parking
lot next to the single family Lot 10, spaced 40' north of the Hackberry as shown.
16. If the project is to be phased, Plant Note 8 on the Landscape Plan should
address that regarding the timing on the installing or escrowing of the landscape.
17. A copy of a red -lined Landscape Plan, with comments from Advance Planning,
is enclosed with to this letter.
This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be
forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing
agencies.
3. The Zoning Department has offered the following comments:
a. If garages on Lots 2 - 10 are attached then they are duplexes instead of
single family structures, assuming there's a loft apartment above the
garage.
b. You need to show building dimensions and distances to the nearest
property line on the Site Plan. If it's a building envelope it still needs
dimensions. Permits will not be issued until this is done.
C. Do not show the construction building on the Site Plan. It's assumed that
there will be a temporary construction building.
d. Label specific building types for the co -housing on the Site Plan. Based
on the footprints on the Site Plan, there are 6 or 7 different types of
buildings. The tabulation on Sheet A2 shows only 4 types. This
information is needed to tabulate parking needs for the co -housing.
e. The Landscape Plan mentions "phases" of development. The Site Plan
should show these phases.
f. The single family lots show street trees. They will need to be escrowed by
the developer if not installed by time of issuance of certificates of
occupancy.
g. Show ramps for the handicapped parking.
Please contact Gary, Jenny, or Peter at 221-6760 if you have questions about
these comments.
The following comments were expressed at the staff review meeting on October St.:
4. Have the issues regarding the drainage around the retail building, at the
southeast corner of the development, and the drainage swale around the
restroom building in the park been resolved? The drainage swale design should
be coordinated with Parks & Recreation and Natural Resources.
5. The required drainage easement through the park needs to go to City Council for
approval prior to this development request going to the Planning and Zoning
Board for approval.
6. The water main location south of the commercial building may not work.

Dear Mikal,
Staff has reviewed your resubmittal (of revisions) for the Martinez PUD, Final that was
received by the City on September 10, 1997. The following comments were received
from affected City departments and outside reviewing agencies:
1. Rusty Guyton of TCI of Fort Collins (cable television) has stated that since this
development contains multi -dwelling units, the owners association must provide
TCI of Fort Collins with a broadband utility easement before construction of
telecommunication lines may begin. For information regarding this requirement,
please contact Reneta Santoro at (970)493-7400 on Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 P.M.
2. Janet Meisel of the Parks Planning Department offered the following
comments:
a. Coordination of any utility line or connection off of Sherwood/park
entrance drive will need to occur prior to commencement of construction.
Alternate access may need to be provided. This drive must remain open
at all times that the park or farm is open for public access.
b. Revisions to off -site drainage easements through the park need to occur
prior to dedication.
C. The City Parks & Recreation Department will want the developer to
salvage the existing swing gate at the trail (Fat Tire Lane) and any fence
along the park perimeter by the single family lots.
d. Additional comments are on a red -lined Landscape Plan and on a red -
lined Sheet 11 of the utility plans. These plans are being forwarded to
you.
Please contact Janet, at 221-6367, if you have questions about these comments.
