HomeMy WebLinkAboutMAPLE HILL, PHASE ONE - PDP - 29-00A - CORRESPONDENCE - (7)20. There is a north -south local street that intersects C.R. 52 close to the intersection of
C.R.11. This may require a raised median in C.R. 52 to prevent left turns in and out of
this local street.
21. There are two Parks and Recreation fees collected at the time of building permit issuance.
Please refer to the hand-out. One is for neighborhood parks and one is for community
parks. All fees are adjusted annually. For further information, please contact Jeff Lakey,
221-6351.
22. A fugitive dust permit will be needed from Larimer County Health Department prior to
overlot grading. If prairie dogs are on the property, they must be relocated or humanely
eradicated. A single trash hauler for the entire project is recommended. In the multi-
family area, be sure to set aside sufficient land area for trash enclosures that are sized for
both dumpsters and containers for recyclable materials. For further information
regarding natural resources issues, please contact Tara Williams, 221-6750.
23. Staff understands that you have already met with the residents to the west whose
properties front on C.R. 11 that have resulted in some plan changes. Because of this
effort and because the project is a Type One review, another neighborhood meeting is
voluntary.
T.I.S. should address all modes including bicycles, pedestrian and transit. If you have a
question regarding the analysis of the alternative modes, please call Tom Reiff, 416-
2040. Be sure to stay in contact with Eric Bracke and Matt Baker regarding the regional
discussion around the adequate public facilities issue and off -site street improvements in
the northeast area in general.
12. Utility plans, prepared by an Engineer registered in Colorado, will be required at the time
of submittal. Be sure that the plat dedicates any additional land needed for any of the
utilities serving the site. Dedications for public streets must comply with the cross-
section required per the classification of street. For example, the local residential street is
30-feet wide flow line to flow line within a 51-foot right-of-way. Please contact Sheri
Wamhoff, 221-6605, if you have any further questions regarding Utility Plans and public
improvements.
13. The Street Oversizing Fee is $1,624 per single family dwelling and $1,120 per multi-
family dwelling payable at the time of building permit issuance. Also, please be aware of
the Larimer County Road Improvement Fee. These fees are adjusted annually. For
further information regarding these fees, please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605.
14. A Development Agreement is required to be recorded along with other final documents.
This Agreement spells out exactly which party is responsible for the construction of
public improvements necessary to serve this proposal. A Development Construction
Permit is required prior to beginning work on the site. The Utility Plans must be in final
form and signed off by the City Utility Departments prior to recording. If special districts
provide services, they must also sign the plat and utility plans. For further information,
please contact Sheri Wamhoff, 221-6605.
15. Local street names must be approved by Latimer Emergency Telephone Authority
(LETA). Names will be checked for duplicates and sound-alikes with any name in
LETA's 911 territory. Collectors must be named from an approved list established by
City Council. This list is available from the Current Planning Department.
16. Since the single family lots that feature alleys do not front on the City's "narrow
residential street," the alleys cannot be public and should be referred to as private
driveways for clarity.
17. Where the off-street trail intersects with C.R. 52, this may be a grade -separated crossing
for safety. The Transportation Planning Department has a guideline booklet on grade
separated trail crossings that may be helpful.
18. Mid -block crossings of the trail are acceptable. Such crossings should connect open
spaces, to the extent reasonably feasible, to create as much visibility for bikes and
pedestrians as possible.
19. There should be direct sidewalks connecting the multi -family area to the trail.
5. Please refer to Section 3.6.6 regarding fire and emergency access. Addresses must be
visible from the public street in front of the dwelling. Be sure that the duplex units,
served by the shared driveway, are located such there not more than 150 from the public
street to the back of the units. Otherwise, automatic fire extinguishing systems must be
installed. A Hazardous Material Impact Analysis will be required for storage and use of
the pool chemicals. For further information regarding fire regulations, please contact
Ron Gonzales at 221-6570.
6. The site will be served by City of Fort Collins Light and Power. There is existing
electrical system serving the Richards Lake property consisting of a switch cabinet and
transformer at the southeast corner of C.R.'s 11 and 52. All existing facilities are
underground. Power is adequate to serve both the project. Keep in mind where the
electrical system is while considering phasing of the project. Any relocation of existing
facilities will be at the developer's expense. For further information regarding electrical
service, please contact Bruce Vogel, 221-6700.
7. The City of Fort Collins Utilities has received the request for water and sewer services.
This request is under consideration. Otherwise, the site will be served by the Boxelder
Sanitation District, 498-0604, and the East Larimer County Water District, 493-2044.
8. Please note that any water system will need to be looped and provide adequate pressure
for fire fighting capability.. All water and sewer lines must be placed within dedicated
utility easement of sufficient width to allow proper separation of all underground utilities.
Normal tap fees will apply. Water rights will need to be dedicated to either the City or
the District in accordance with adopted policies. For further information on City
Utilities, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681.
9. Depending on who provides water and sewer, there may be utility separation issues with
electrical, phone, cable and natural gas. Both special districts and the City may have
different preferences on how to serve the single family lots. Depending on the provider,
water and sewer services may be in the middle of the lot or on the side lot line. A utility
coordination meeting may be necessary, especially with the requirement for street trees,
and the 50-foot wide lots.
10. This site is in the Cooper SloughBoxelder drainage basin where there are presently no
development fees. There will be fees when the master plan is adopted. The 50' lots
present utility and drainage challenges. Window wells and air conditioner compressors
need to be considered in the detailed grading plan. Window wells should not be in
drainage easements. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and construction
plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in
Colorado. The detention proposed needs to include water quality extended detention to
treat the runoff. The grading plan along the No. 8 inlet ditch needs to be detailed with
cross sections. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6681.
11. A Transportation Impact Study will be required. Please contact Eric Bracke, 221-6630,
to determine the scope of the study and which intersections need to be analyzed. The
