I'm concerned about if you make that channel deeper, we will be affected. A. It should not impact you. 41. What has a project like this done to property values? A. There is a market out there for this type of project. 42. What is your approach to organic landscaping and maintenance? A. I cannot say that we have a policy concerning this, however, we do try to plant certain trees and shrubs that require minimal spraying. 43. Will the utilities on W. Elizabeth possibly be buried? A. The overhead utility lines will not be buried until a new service is run down Ponderosa and can service those homes from the front. No rear lot underground services are allowed due to an inability to access for servicing. 44. If this goes, when will construction start and then be completed? A. If our submittal of this project is the end of June, then we could start late summer or early fall of this year. This would be a twelve month project and time of completion would be by fall term at C.S.U., 1996 (developers projection). 45. How much money will JPI make off of this project? A. The developer is not required to state this information. 28. Will you allow pets? A. No. 29. Parking on the C.S.U. campus is virtually impossible, so providing parking spaces for our tenants will be of great help to them. ti 30. I have seen students park in the King Soopers parking lot all day tong and taking Transfort from there to school. 31. King Soopers will still be a bus pick-up and drop-off. 32. Do you, JPI Texas Development, own this site? A. It is under contract right now. 33. You can contact Mike Ludwig 221-6750 regarding the status of the project (when or if the project is submitted). 34. Does JPI own any further commercial area around this project?. A. No. 35. How many of these complexes have you built and how long have you maintained them? A. We presently have two complexes in other cities in the U.S. 36. What about lighting? A. We have the lighting mounted on the buildings opposed to lamp lighting on the poles. The City does regulate any lighting of complexes and signs. 37. Will an Environmental Impact Statement be required? A. No, however the Natural Resources Department will be reviewing the development proposal when it is submitted. 38. Will the drainage be placed underground? A. There will be some on -site drainage ponds. 39. Will you have to improve the drainage downstream of this project? A. No. 21. How does this point system work and has the developer reached his 100 points.? A. The Residential Uses Point Chart is used to evaluate the appropriateness of a residential land use on a particular property (please refer to pages 78, 79, and 79a of the LDGS). Points are awarded based upon a project's proximity to existing services such as schools, parks, employment, and shopping. In addition, points may be awarded for providing additional services or public benefit. The proposed density of this project exceeds 10 dwelling units per acre and therefore must achieve a minimum of 100 points on the residential uses point chart. 22. Where are seven hundred more students going to grocery shop? You can hardly get into King Soopers now. 23. How did this site grow from 12 acres to 17.5 acres? The notice you sent out to us concerning this meeting stated 12 acres. A. The notice was based upon information provided by the developer at conceptual review. The developer did state 17.5 acres at the neighborhood meeting. Staff will verify the acreage at the time of submittal of a formal development application. 24. What will happen to the irrigation ditch that follows Elizabeth Street? A. The developer is responsible to handle that water and the ditch company will be routed information about this project. Ditch company approval (sign -of) is required. 25. Do you expect any married couples with children to be living in these proposed apartments? And will you require married couples with two children to have to rent the three bedroom units or up? A. Yes, we possibly will rent to married couples with children if they can afford the rent. We're still reviewing the requirements concerning how many bedrooms they will be required to rent. 26. A bike path goes through this property now. Where will they go once you develop this land? I'm also concerned about the 40 plus children that walk down Orchard Place and where will they go? A. We will connect to bike and pedestrian pathways. Plum and Orchard through connections are still under consideration. 27. How high will the fence be on your site? A. Eight feet high. 10. As tax payers do we have to pay for any improvements due to this project going in? A. The developer is responsible for improvements and there is also an Street Oversizing Fund that the City has which will come into play if needed. 11. We can only exit and enter our house from Clearview and W. Elizabeth and if these two streets are jammed, it is very difficult for us. 12. A stop sign will be installed to exit the project. 13. Traveling Taft Hill Road between Drake and Horsetooth is only one lane and most always congested. A. That area is still in the county, but I'm sure improvements will be made to that area in time. 14. Will the developer widen W. Elizabeth Street in front of the project? A. Yes. 15. We still do not seem to have. the Police Department cruising our area any more frequently due to all this new building going on. 16. I'm concerned about the noise level and pollution from added cars. A. We will have a full time staff monitoring our project at all times for partying and noise, etc. 17. I don't care, students tend to be more noisy. 18. Our water pressure is not that good now. Will building this new project make it worse? Can the city do something about it? A. The Water and Wastewater Utility Department will review the proposed development and determine if there is available capacity. 19. Will our property taxes be raised or lowered due to this project? A. No answer was available. 20. How is this project zoned? A. R-L, Low Density Residential, however, this zoning district also allows Planned Unit Developments to be submitted which are evaluated against the Land Development Guidance System and which may allow higher density development. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT. • JPI Student Apartments P. U.D. DATE: June 7, 1995 APPLICANT.- JPI Texas Development, Inc. CONSULTANT: Gefroh Hattman Architects/Planners CITYPLANNER: Mike Ludwig The proposal is for a residential Planned Unit Development on 17.5 acres for approximately 204 apartments. The property is located on the north side of W. Elizabeth Street, west of Taft Hill Road and west of the existing Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION 1. The proposal is for seven 24-unit buildings, and three 12-unit buildings. Units will have two, three or four bedrooms and be furnished. There is a clubhouse with leasing office in, it, exercise equipment, a room for students to buy stamps, use computers and copying equipment. 2. There's a swimming pool, volleyball and other sports area. 3. Lots of berming and buffering will surround the compound including a solid fence along the west property line for screening and safety. 4. The entrance will be gated and controlled. 5. Plum Street and Orchard Place will not have accesses to this project. 6. Transfort will possibly have a turn -around and stop in front of the project. 7. Highest percentage of occupants will be students. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMN ENTS 1. How many bedrooms will this project have? A. 696. 2. How many parking spaces will there be? A. ' 696 averaging one parking space per bedroom. City staff stated that this was greatly in excess of City parking standards and that staff would not support this many parking spaces. 3. There will be routine inspections of the units two to three times per year. 4. The rent for these units will be similar to Ram's Village on W. Elizabeth, $300 plus for the three bedrooms and up to $400 to $500 for the four bedrooms. 5. The applicant proposes fire lane access only off of Orchard Place. Staff stated that this would need to be evaluated at the time of formal application submittal. 6. Has a traffic study been done recently on Taft and W. Elizabeth Streets? A. Yes, Elizabeth St. will have improvements done to it and a deceleration lane will be installed when nearing the project entrance. Necessary improvements will be determined by the traffic study which must be submitted at the time of application. 7. Have you taken into consideration the C.S.U. ball games and that traffic? A. Yes, this is something that just happens periodically and not a constant problem. 8. I live on Ponderosa Street in those single-family dwellings and I'm concerned about the City not carrying out it's rules and regulations for how many unrelated persons can live in one house. A lot of people purchase homes in this town for rentals only and rent to too many people in one house. A. The number of unrelated individuals per dwelling unit is regulated by the Building Inspections and Zoning Department on a complaint basis. Special requirement E(6)of the LDGS (page 87) does allow the Planning and Zoning Board the discretion to approve a project with four bedroom units. Please refer to this handout (page 87 of the LDGS). 9. Certificates of Occupancy are issued by the City even though the P.U.D. was not considered.
