HomeMy WebLinkAboutTHE GREENS AT COLLINDALE PUD - PRELIMINARY - 8-96 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)included as part of the submittal, Staff will recommend to the Planning and Zoning Board that it be deleted. Another possibility could be that the whole project gets a recommendation of denial based solely on the request for a gated community (see All Development Criteria A-2.1, A-2.2, A-2.4, A-2.5, and A-2.6). Please keep in mind that these are mandatory compliance criteria. Failure to meet just one of these criteria is considered grounds for denial. Enc. 11. All driveways and parking stalls should be setback a minimum of one -hundred (100') feet from the South Lemay Avenue right-of-way (R.O.W.). If the plans are submitted with the inclusion of security gates, you will need to make sure that the gates are setback far enough off Lemay to accommodate stacking (lining up) of vehicles without impeding traffic flows on any public ways. Sidewalks and street improvements will be required. When planning your landscaping, be sure to maintain minimum site distance requirements at accesses. 12. With preliminary submittal, you will be required to provide letters of intent for all off -site easements (from those providing the easements). All private drives should be called out as a "tract(s)" on the plat, and a reference should be made to maintenance responsibilities for these drives. Currently, 28' wide streets would allow parking on one side. The parking rules of these streets should be posted on signs. 13. You will need to enter into a development agreement with the City. You were asked to remember, when planning your time -line, that it takes anywhere from 2-6 months following Planning and Zoning Board approvals to finalize development agreements. Street Oversizing Fees are set at $584 per dwelling unit, and are due at the time of building permit issuance. For more information regarding comments 11-13, please contact Kerrie Ashbeck of the engineering Department at 221-6750. 14. A neighborhood meeting will be required prior to the submittal of any development request involving this land. I have prepared and enclosed a geographical notification map (affected property owner notification boundary). The developer is responsible for obtaining the names and addresses of property owners within the mailing area. The developer pays fifty cents (500) per AEMe for the mailing. The City will, upon request by the developer, set up a meeting and facilitate the discussion. This entire process generally takes three to four (3-4) weeks to complete. For further information, please contact Mitchell Haas of the Planning Department at 221-6750. 15. Please provide for pedestrian circulation via sidewalks. It would be preferable for the sidewalks to be detached. The pedestrian circulation system should accommodate pedestrian movement.from the neighborhood to the site and throughout the proposed development safely and conveniently while contributing to the attractiveness of the development (All development criteria A-2.6). 16. Staff is concerned about installing a gate across the public street/private drive intersection. Such a feature is out of character for Fort Collins. There are no gated subdivisions in Fort Collins, and the crime rate does not justify one. The concept of a gate is a solution to a set of problems that do not exist in our community. That is, the concept is an import from other regions of the country that face a different set of circumstances than those in existence in Fort Collins. If it is the developer's desire to create an upscale image, then a variety of other design solutions are available. There are significant concerns regarding, among other things, efficient delivery of emergency services. There are many residential projects in Fort Collins that are more affluent, upscale, and exclusive that are maintaining their distinct character and property values without the need for a gate. If a gate is 4. There appears to be conflicting drives on the north end of the development. Each property/drive must have twenty (20') feet of back-up space. The site falls within the Neighborhood Sign District; therefore, you will be entitled to one (1) entry sign at each access point. The location of these signs must be identified on any submitted site plans and landscape plans. For more information regarding these comments, please contact Gray Lopez of the Zoning Department at 221-6760. 5. Zero -lot line configurations must be planned and constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. For more information regarding this comment, please contact Sharon Getz of the Building Inspections�Qepartment at 221-6760. 6. The site is located in the Fox Meadow Drainage Basin. Fees in this basin are $6,468 per acre, and are due at the time of building permit issuance. There is an existing storm sewer to the south which takes drainage out of.the site (the pipe, however, is only 15"). If you release drainage at or below the two-year historic release rate, you will not have to analyze the capacity of this pipe. It was suggested that the use of piping with overflow swales might be appropriate. You will need to verify the easement for the pipe. You will be required to provide some on -site detention. A standard drainage and erosion control report will be required. For more information regarding these comments, please contact Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility at 221-6589. 7. There are currently two six-inch water stubs into the property. The closest sanitary sewer line is probably the one in Sherman Court; there is a manhole in Mill Run Court, too, but use of this line would require easements from the abutting property owner(s). Water conservation standards for landscaping and irrigation will apply. Individual, metered services for each unit will be required. Plant Investment Fees and Water Acquisition fees will be due at the time of building permit issuance. Looped, six-inch lines should adequately service this development. For more information regarding these comments, please contact Jeff Hill of the Water and Wastewater Department at 221-6681. 8. You should talk with Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, about the removal of any trees; he can be reached at 221-6361. You may need to discuss downstream concerns relative to the Warren Dam with appropriate State agencies. Use of the well for irrigation water is not a problem so long as the water rights are owned and maintained. 9. The Poudre Fire Authority has requested that a fire hydrant be installed at the center parking area. It was stated that looping of the six-inch water main should be adequate, but it must be looped. You will be required to install fire hydrants at both entries to the development. If security gates are to remain a part of these plans, emergency access provisions will have to be made with the P.F.A., police, and emergency medical services. For more information regarding these comments, please contact Roger Frasco of the Poudre Fire Authority at 221-6570. 10. You will need to have a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared. For general information regarding the required content of this analysis, you should contact the City's Traffic Engineer, Eric Bracke at 221-6062. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: January 22, 1996 ITEM: Bockman Property, Residential P.U.D., east side of South Lemay, across from Warren Dam, west of and adjacent to Collindale Golf Course. APPLICANT: Bob Sutter Architectural Horizons P.O. Box 271217 Fort Collins, CO 80527-1217 LAND USE DATA: Proposal to construct 38 attached, single-family dwelling units on 6.5 acres. The structures would include duplexes and four-plexes built on a zero -lot line configuration. The units would be individually owned and sit on individual lots.

COMMENTS: 1. The property falls within the rlp, Low -Density Planned Residential, Zoning District. This district has a P.U.D. condition on it, thus the proposal must be submitted as a Planned Unit Development, subject to the standards of the L.D.G.S. 2. Parkland fees of $813 per dwelling unit would be due at the time of building permit issuance. It was stated that direct access/golf cart access from the site to the Collindale Golf Course would be desirable; for information regarding this possibility, you should contact Jerry Brown (221-6350). You should also contact Jerry about sewer line construction and easement information. 3. Power to the site is available from an existing vault on Ticonderoga, and there are existing conduits into the area. The above ground power line to the east*can and would come down. Normal development charges will apply. For more information regarding these comments, please contact Bruce Vogel of Light and Power at 22,1-6700.
