HomeMy WebLinkAboutWATERFIELD PUD, FIRST FILING - FINAL - 7-95C - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)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. Thc: 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 Y2 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 $584per. dwelling unit. Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck at 221-6750 with any questions regarding these comments. 8. The • Parks,: Department has briefly. discussed theproposed park site with the applicant.The locatiom 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 todelineate the bounda y,of the wetland on the site. It -appears that a significant buffer/transition zone for the wetland (approximately 1W to1300') 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 instal!ed 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 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 comer 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 P!ummer School (out parc011) shc,uld by 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: AmOveralI 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. 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.
