Re: Shenandoah ODP & Preliminary PUD
Dear Steve,
Please accept the enclosed revised documents for the Shenandoah ODP and Phase One
Preliminary P.U.D. There have been significant changes in areas that were contentious with
surrounding neighbors. Revisions have also been made that address Planning and Zoning Board
concerns.
At the April 17, 1996 neighborhood meeting, it became very clear that the greatest concern of the
neighbors was the alignment with Victoria Drive of our proposed Street. We agreed that night to
explore alternative locations with emphasis on moving Shenandoah's new entrance north near the
one half mile point.
On May 2, 1996 we met with Tess Jones the Region Development Access Coordinator for
CDOT, and discussed proposed locations for the intersection. She supported an access point
within 200' of our north boundary (the'/2 mile point) that would be signalized in the future and
agreed to review a second access point into the neighborhood center site that would be right
in/out and left in. We subsequently met with Eric Bracke with the City's Transportation
Department and he also concurred with the new proposed locations.
The change has a positive impact on the ODP because it eliminates a street connection between
College Avenue and the extension of Avondale to County Road 32. This allows for improved
pedestrian connections through the private park/open space to the future neighborhood center
without any street crossings. It also allows the historic barn site to function as a neighborhood
focal point that could develop as a "town plaza".
Business Service uses now extend along College Avenue between access points with office
buildings clustered around the existing tree line running east/west. The Day Care site is centrally
located with access to the park and adjacent to the single family neighborhood. A Neighborhood
Convenience Center is located to provide convenient services at the entrance to the development.
Multi -Family units are shown adjacent to the collector, near employment, neighborhood service
center and the park site.
