Mr. Mike Herzig City of Fort Collins Development Review Dept. Prospect Greens P.U.D. Page 2 As stated above, the geometry of the site (long and narrow) dictates this variance request. The parcel is only 165' wide and standard street and right-of-way widths would prohibit this type of proposed development. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, PARSONS & ASSOCIATES, INC. - 411t Gar A. Odehnal, P.E.

The central circulation system is to be a publicly designated street ending in a cul-de-sac. The street has a slight variance from straight line to enhance the aesthetic impact along the streetscape. Housing units have been clustered together along the street to enhance land use efficiency and to provide for pockets of open green space between every three units. The on -street parking has been pocketed to further enhance variety of aesthetics as well as help to bring green elements of the project to the curb/back of walk line. Pocketed parking will encourage on -street parking in pockets only. Parking will not be allowed on street except in pocketed areas. Two off-street parking stalls of minimum 18 feet in length have been provided in front of each unit's garage. Parking in front of garages will not encroach on sidewalks. The street has been developed with pocketed parking to also reduce the overall area of hard surface on the project with a resulting positive impact on stormwater run-off. Due to the low number of units within the development, it was felt that sidewalks on one side of the street will be adequate to handle pedestrian access within the development. This also further reduces the amount of hard surface and further enhances the ability to bring green space to the curb line. Architecture in the development has been designed with second levels of all units built within the attic area of the structures. This will serve to keep the scale of the project down and more "human" along the streetscape by minimizing the impact of 2-story walls with lower eave lines of the roof systems. This exterior design will also lend to steep roof pitches adding to the visual variety of architectural elements along the street line. Garage doors will be held to 8 foot widths to mitigate their impact to the streetscape. All landscaped areas will be irrigated with a system in compliance with City standards and requirements to promote conservation of this valuable water resource. CONFLICTS OF LAND USES There are no significant conflicts of uses. The project will be screened on its east and west boundaries with a 6-foot high wood fence. Screening from the Spring Creek bike trail is accomplished through separation and landscaping. Screening to the existing housing unit to the northeast will be fencing and landscaping.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Prospect Greens P.U.D., Preliminary - #15-95, with the following variance: Staff is recommending approval of the developer's request for a variance to the Solar Orientation Ordinance for the following reason: That by reason of exceptional conditions or difficulties with regard to solar orientation or access, hardship would be caused to a subdivider by the strict application of any provisions of this Article. Prospect Greens PUD - Preliminary, #15-95 May 22, 1995 P & Z Meeting Page 4 (3) The applicant demonstrates that the plan as submitted is equal to or better than such plan incorporating the provision for which a variance is requested. Staff is recommending approval of the developer's request for a variance to the Solar Orientation Ordinance for the reason stated in Subsection (2). Parking: Each dwelling unit will have two off-street parking spaces (either in garages or in the driveways) . There will be recessed parking areas, interspersed with landscaped islands, on both side of the street. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood information meeting was held at Lesher Junior High School on March 8, 1995 to discuss this residential development proposal. There were nine people in attendance and approximately one-half of them represented the development proposal as either property owner or developer. A City planner was present to facilitate the meeting. The primary questions and concerns expressed were related to the increased traffic associated with new development and how the City was looking at access control along East Prospect Road. Also, what impacts will this development have on the existing farm animals in the area, on the adjacent larger acreages, and how will the existing surface drainage patterns be maintained. A copy of the minutes of the meeting are attached to this staff report. 5. Transportation: The development will be accessed from East Prospect Road by a single street running north to south in the middle, with residences being located on both the east and west sides of the street. The street will terminate in a cul-de-sac at the south end, approximately 700' from East Prospect Road. An easement for future vehicular access from the public street in this development to the undeveloped property to the west is being provided with this request. FINDINGS Of FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Prospect Greens P.U.D., Preliminary, staff makes the following findings of fact: * It scores 64% on the Residential Uses Density Chart in the L.D.G.S., which supports the proposed residential density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre. Prospect Greens PUD - Preliminary, #15-95 May 22, 1995 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Landscaping: The landscaping will consist of a combination of deciduous, ornamental, and evergreen trees along the streetscape and in the common areas next to and behind the homes. There will be upright and spreading junipers used as an entry feature at East Prospect Road. Solar Orientation Ordinance: The developer has requested a variance to the Solar Orientation Ordinance, which requires a minimum of 65% of the lots to comply with one of the definitions of a solar oriented lot, because only 3 of the 17 lots (equalling 18%) are in compliance. The developer is stating that this is an in -fill project subject to pre-existing geographic constraints. The site is a long, linear parcel of ground, 165' wide by 990' in depth, oriented north to south from East Prospect Road to Spring Creek. The opportunity to orient single family detached homes with the front of the homes being within 30 degrees of a true east -west axis is extremely limited. After a street has been included in, essentially, the middle of the property, there is only 60' to 70' of lot depth available between the street/sidewalk and the property lines to the east and west. When permitted, the Planning and Zoning Board may authorize variances under Section 29-627 of City Code upon its finding that following requirements in (1), (2), or (3) have been satisfied: (1) That by reason of exceptional topographical, soil or other subsurface conditions of other conditions peculiar to the site, hardship would be caused to a subdivider by the strict application of any provisions of this Article. Such variances shall not be granted if it would be detrimental to the public good or impair the intent and purposes of this Article. The decision of the Planning and Zoning Board on any application for variance shall be set forth in writing in the minutes of the Board. (2) That by reason of exceptional conditions or difficulties with regard to solar orientation or access, hardship would be caused to a subdivider by the strict application of any provisions of this Article. Such variances shall not be granted if the same would be detrimental to the public good or impair the intent and purposes of this Article. The decision of the Planning and Zoning Board on any application for variance shall be set forth in writing in the minutes of the Board. Prospect Greens May 22, 1995 P Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background• PUD - Preliminary, #15-95 & Z Meeting The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: RL; existing school, church (Lesher Junior High, First Baptist) S: RP; existing single family residential E: RP; existing large acreage single family residential W: RP; existing large acreage single family residential The property was annexed into the City with the First East Prospect Annexation in December, 1959. 2. Land Use• This is a request for preliminary planned unit development (P.U.D.) approval for 17 single family detached homes (1 existing and 16 new) on 3.75 acres. The gross residential density is 4.5 dwelling units per acre. It was evaluated against the applicable All Development Criteria and the Residential Uses Density chart of the L.D.G.S. The request scored 64% on the density chart, earning points for: a) being within 3,500' of an existing neighborhood park (Spring Park); b) being within 2,500' of an existing school (Lesher Junior High); c) being within 3,000' of a major employment center (Park Central, Women's Clinic, Stuart Street Medical Park); d) a percentage of the total area of the project devoted to recreational use; and e) providing adequate, safe and convenient pedestrian/bicycle connections between the project and the nearest existing City sidewalk and bicycle lane and an existing City bicycle trail adjacent to the project. The density chart supports the land use and residential density of the project. 3. Design• Architecture: The homes will be two-story structures 30' in height (+/-) and will contain approximately 1,200 square feet of living space (excluding basements and garages). The architecture has been designed with the second levels of all the homes built within the attic area of the structure, serving to keep the appearance of the project down to a more "human" scale streetscape. The exterior design allows for steep pitched roofs that will provide for a visual variety of architectural elements. Garage doors will be V in width to mitigate their visual impact from the street.
