HomeMy WebLinkAboutSCENIC VIEWS PUD - PRELIMINARY - 3-96 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)27. Connecting Orchard to Overland Trail should be considered. The traffic engineering consultant should discuss the parameters of the traffic study with Eric Bracke, 221-6608. 28. The access to the out parcel on Overland Trail may need to be discussed. Access may need to be provided back into the project. 29. Overland Trail is classified as an arterial. West Elizabeth is classified as an arterial but is being designed for a minor arterial/collector. It may be that right-of-way for an arterial will be required for West Elizabeth. 30 A utility plan and development agreement for constructing public improvements will be required. Offsite improvements that are required in order to mitigate the traffic impacts may be required. 31. Staff recommends against the concept of a "gated community" as this does not fit within our community character and actually increases the perception of crime over and above what is occurring. 32. A neighborhood information meeting will be required. 15. The neighborhood park may need offstreet parking if there are athletic fields. For further information, please contact Randy Balok, Parks Planner, 221-6640. 16. It is suggested that the homeowner's association contract with a single trash/recycle hauler for the entire P.U.D. Otherwise, individual households contract with several haulers with the result of unnecessary truck trips through the neighborhood. Also, trash enclosures for the congregate care should be big enough to accommodate recycle bins. 17. The pedestrian linkages from the neighborhood to the bus stops should be emphasized. Bus stops should be designed to be attractive. 18. The site is located in the Canal Importation Basin. The storm drainage fee in this basin is $6,181 per acre, subject to the amount of stormwater detention and runoff coefficient. 19. The site is also located in the West Plum Sub Basin. A master drainage plan has been done for this area which must be complied with. 20. At the time of Final, the developer's engineering consultant must perform the S. W.M.M. for review by the Stormwater Utility. 21. At the time of Preliminary, the developer must submit a Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan. These plans -must meet preliminary submittal requirements for completeness. Please note that a siphon under the P.V. & L. Canal may be needed to convey storm flows. Drainage will not be allowed to be conveyed into the ditch. An offsite easement may be needed to route storm flows to the proper outfall point. 22. Please be aware that if you plan to place the ditch into a pipe, the pipe size must be adequate to convey not only ditch flows but upstream drainage that flows into the ditch. The capacity of the ditch may have to be analyzed to verify these upstream storm flows. Please be aware also that this ditch is known to spill over due to upstream development. Lining the ditch may help prevent seepage. 23. Any wetlands should be delineated on the plans. 24. There may be a small irrigation lateral that feeds the Happy Heart Farm. Please show the location of this lateral on the plans. You are encouraged to meet with these water users to find out more about this lateral. 25. The Street Oversizing Fee is $584 per dwelling unit payable at the time of building permit issuance. For those units in the congregate care that have full kitchens, the fee will apply. 26. A traffic impact analysis will be required at the time of Preliminary submittal. 6. There is an 8 inch sanitary sewer in Plum and a 12 inch sewer in Orchard. The sewer main in Orchard should extend west to Overland Trail. There is no sanitary sewer in West Elizabeth. The nearest would be in Lory Ann Estates, south of Elizabeth Street. 7. The water mains in the two zones cannot connect. Installation should be such that a future connection could be made at a manhole with a valve if the decision is made to enlarge the Foothills Pressure Zone. There may be problem in looping the water mains that are not part of the Foothills Zone. It is preferred that water mains be kept in streets. The problem with the duplex site is that it may served by only one main which prevents looping. 8. Providing sanitary sewer to the duplex area may be a challenge. An offsite utility easement may be required. 9. The central kitchen in the congregate care facility will need a grease trap meeting the specifications of the City Wastewater Utility. For further information regarding plant investment fees, raw water requirements, or other water and sewer issues, please call Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 10. As indicated, the single family area contains only one point of access. A second point of access will be needed to comply with the access requirements of the Poudre Fire Authority. It appears the best point for second access would be via West Plum Street. Otherwise, every home past 900 feet from the Orchard access would have to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system. 11. Fire hydrants should be looped. A separate permit will be needed from Poudre Fire Authority for the range hood and duct system of the commercial kitchen. The congregate care facility will also need a fully automatic fire alarm system. The elevator will need a recall system so that when the fire alarm goes off, the elevator automatically goes to the first floor. For further information regarding fire prevention issues, please contact Roger Frasco, Poudre Fire Marshall, 221-6570. 12. The County Health Department will be a separate permitting agency for the congregate care commercial kitchen. 13. The number of handicap parking spaces must comply with the Uniform Building Code, as amended by the City. For further information, please contact Sharon Getz, Plans Examiner, 221-6760. 14. The Parkland Development Fee is $813 per dwelling unit payable at the time of building permit issuance. This fee may increase in 1996 based on the Denver -Boulder consumer price index. For those units within the congregate care facility that have full kitchens, the fee will apply. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: December 11, 1995 ITEM: Scenic Views P.U.D., Concept Plan "F" APPLICANT: Mr. Bill Veio c/o Mr. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request for a mixed use development located on 36 acres at the northeast corner of Overland Trail and West Elizabeth Street. Land uses include congregate care (200 beds/units on 10.43 acres), detached single family (69 units), duplexes (52 units), and neighborhood park (2.8 acres). COMMENTS: The site will be served by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Utility. Electrical power is available on the west side of Overland Trail for the duplex area. For the single family area, power can be extended from existing sources in Orchard in Locust Grove. The congregate care will need three-phase power which can be provided from West Elizabeth Street by extending the system from the east. 2. For the congregate care facility, the electrical contractor should complete the Commercial One, "C-V form which determines electrical needs and entrance capacity. If units within the building have full kitchen facilities, then electrical fees and charges may vary. 3. The location of the electrical transformer for the congregate care facility should not be visible from a public street. It may be screened by landscaping or solid enclosure meeting the clearance specification of Light and Power. The transformer must be accessible by a boom truck by being within ten feet of hard surface. If you have further questions regarding electrical service, please contact Bruce Vogel, 221-6700. 4. Water and sanitary sewer will be provided by City of Fort Collins Water and Wastewater Utility. There is a 12 inch water main in Elizabeth Street that runs east from Overland Trail and tapers down to 8 inches going east. This main is in the Foothills Pressure Zone which is a small, separate loop that serves a specific west side part of town. 5. There is a 6 inch water main in Plum and an 8 inch water main in Orchard. The water main in Orchard should extend west to Overland Trail.
