by the Boxelder Sewer District. The City's Water -Conservation Standards for
Landscaping and Irrigation will apply. Please contact Roger Buffington at 221-6681
with any questions.
7. The: Engineering Department stated that all street improvements will be based
upon the findings of the traffic study which is required by the Transportation
Department. On -site street improvements will be required to this property's frontage
on East Vine Drive and Summit View Drive. Off -site street improvements to either
East Vine Drive to Lemay or Summit View Drive to East Mulberry will be required.
Full improvements (36' wide to arterial standards including curb and gutter) are
eligible for Street Oversizing Fund reimbursement only if the development has 1/6th
contiguity to existing City development. The Waterglen development chose to
improve East Vine Drive to 15-year standards with no reimbursement. Whichever
site develops first is required to pay. The Engineering staff recommends that the
applicant coordinate with the developers of Waterglen and the owners of out
parcels adjacent to the site. The developer will be required to dedicate '/z of the
120' right of way plus a 15' utility easement along Summit. View Drive. The
developer will be required to dedicate at least'/ of the 120' right of way plus a 15'
utility easement along East Vine Drive and possibly additional right of way due.to
constraints which exist on the south side of East Vine Drive. The street oversizing
fee is currently $584 per dwelling unit. Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck at 221-6750
with any questions regarding these comments.
8. The Parks Department has briefly discussed the proposed park site with the
applicant. The location of a park site must be evaluated in relation to the entire
square mile. Additional discussions between the Parks Department and the
applicant are needed. The Parkland Fee is currently $813 per dwelling unit.
Please contact Randy Balok at 221-6364 with any questions.
ditches are not acceptable outfalls for drainage runoff release. Water quality needs
to be addressed. The plan reviewed by staff at Conceptual Review appears to
leave very little space for the drainage channel along Summit View Drive (County
Road 9E) as'per the Master Plan: A standard drainage and. erosion control report
will need to be prepared by civil engineer who is licensed by the State of Colorado
and submitted at the time of formal development application.. Please contact Glen
Schlueter at 221-6589 with any questions.
3. The Light and Power Utility stated that there is a major electrical duct bank along
the north side of East Vine Drive and an empty conduit which runs along Summit
View Drive which are capable of providing electrical service to the site. There is an
overhead power line which crosses the northern .portion of the property that is
owned and maintained by the Western Area Power Administration.. It may not be
economically feasible to underground this line. Any modification or relocation of
existing vaults or the overhead power line will be at the developers expense. The
"normal" Light and Power Development charges have increased for the new street
standards which are proposed. Please contact Doug Martine at 221-6700 with any
questions regarding these comments.
4. The Natural Resources Department stated that the previous applicant which
proposed to develop this property for the Pioneer Mobile Home Park hired a
registered wetland consultant to delineate the boundary of the wetland on the site.
It appears that a significant buffer/transition zone for the wetland (approximately
100' to 300') will be needed. Some of the areas on the proposed plan appear to be
less than 100'. The wetland and buffer/transition zone should include a balance of
wetland and upland habitats. The hydrology of the pond needs to be studied.
There appears to be a high water table in this area. The Natural Resources
Department does not recommend using the wetland area for stormwater detention
purposes. The Department would like to discuss water rights for the pond with the
applicant. Please contact Rob Wilkinson at 221-6600 with any questions regarding
these comments.
5. The Poudre Fire Authority will require fire hydrants to be installed within 400' of
all dwellings capable of providing 1,000 g.p.m. and 100 p.s.i. residual. A future
connection to the west will need a temporary fire turn -around or loop in order to
maintain fire access requirements. Without this access, certain units may need to
be equipped with automated fire suppression systems. Additional comments will
be made during the review of a specific development plan. Please contact Roger
Frasco at 221-6570 with any questions regarding these comments.
6. The Water and Wastewater Utility indicated that they have a water transmission
line approximately one-half mile north of this property which could be tapped into.
The City's concern would be in looping the system back to the main. The ELCO
Water District also has mains in this area which may be more suitable for servicing
this site. There is not a City sanitary sewer in the vicinity as this area is serviced
TIC
the cul-de-sacs so that development to the west of this property can have
internal access to the school and park site.
C. Street trees should be proposed along the detention pond at the southwest
corner of the site with the first phase of development.
d. The Eaton Ditch runs along the north property line. This ditch carries
significant flows. Opportunities for fencing, retaining walls, and landscaping
should be explored for safety reasons. .
e. Staff encourages the applicant to incorporate a neighborhood commercial .
component on this property.
f. The existing Plummer School (out parcel) should be buffered. Staff
encourages the applicant to incorporate architectural elements of the school
in the design of this development.
g. Significant street -soaping (berms, landscaping, etc.) will be needed along
Vine Drive and Summit View Drive.
h. An Overall Development Plan will be required if the proposed plan is to be
submitted in phases (multiple Preliminary and Final P.U.D.'s).
i. A schedule of the recently adopted Capital Expansion Fees is attached.
j. A neighborhood meeting will be required prior to the submittal of this
development. proposal. The Planning Department will make a geographical
notification map upon your request to proceed with the project. The
developer is responsible for obtaining the names and addresses of property.
owners within the mailing area. The developer pays the City 50 cents per
name for the mailing. The City will set up the meeting upon the developers
request and will facilitate the meeting..
For further information regarding these comments, please contact Mike Ludwig,
Project Planner at 221-6206.
2. The Stormwater Utility stated that the property is located in the Cooper Slough
Drainage Basin. There are no stormwater utility development fees for properties
in this basin and therefore no city assistance (repays) in the physical design or
construction of stormwater facilities. A Master Plan completed in 1987 for this basin
identifies a drainage channel along Vine Drive and Summit View Drive with a
capacity of approximately 310 c.f.s. The wetland/pond area on the site does not
currently have an outfall and will need one if the wetland/pond is incorporated into
the storm drainage system for the development. The applicable ditch company and
lateral owner's signatures will be required on all construction plans. Irrigation
