HomeMy WebLinkAboutLINDEN GROVE PUD - PRELIMINARY - 49-94 - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTS15. What will be the impact of this development on the school system? A. The City will notify the School District of this development. The school does its own planning. 16. What about fire protection? A. Poudre Fire Authority will also be routed the plans. It is their decision to build a new fire station. If they believe there is a need, they will begin to look for a new site. 17. Why are the new houses being built? Is there a need'? A. We believe there is a need for this type of housing in the community. 18. How long will the project take? A. Could be many years before it is built out. 19. When will realignment of the flood channel occur? A. This is being evaluated by the feds and the City Stormwater Department . Possibly within the next three to four years. This realignment would take Alta Vista out of the flood plain. 20. What about the water in the Lake Canal? A. We don't plan to change the way the Lake Canal operates. 9 5. Will there be a fence around the development? A. Probably along Lemay. Probably not along South or West boundary, will be left up to individual lot owners. 6. Would like a fence along Alta Vista property. 7. Would there be a connection to Alta Vista, for instance a street? We don't want one. Our streets aren't built to handle additional traffic. People would cut through to get to Vine Drive and miss the traffic signal. A. The realignment of the flood channel would make it hard for one to have access to Alta Vista. City wants us to consider pedestrian access. 8. Does this effect Redwood Street? Will it be put through? A. Yes, it is planned to connect to Vine, someday. This development probably will not trigger it. 9. Will there be a bike trail along the canal? A. On the old master plan a bike path is shown. At this point we are not sure if it will go in. City may have trail go up along Redwood. 10. What is the size of the park do you propose? A. 200 ft. by 200 ft. or approximately one acre. 11. Has a traffic study been done? A. One is currently being done. 12. We are concerned about traffic delays, especially on Lemay and conflicts with the railroad. 13. Andersonville will be impacted the most by traffic. 14. Will an overpass be built over the railroad tracks? A. Maybe someday, with new alignment of Lemay Avenue. 2 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: Lindengrove, PUD DATE: June 8, 1994 APPLICANT: Cityscape Urban Design CONSULTANT: Terence Hoaglund PLANNER: Kirsten Whetstone The meeting began with an introduction to the City of Fort Collins Planning Department and their planning process.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Re: Linden Grove P. U.D. Project No. 10-793-000 Dear Steve: I am writing to confirm my understanding of what the Preliminary Plans submitted to the City of Fort Collins on Wednesday, October 26, 1994 depicted. The plans showed and stated that some of the lots in Linden Grove P.U.D. cannot be sold or built upon at this time. The lots to which I am referring are located in the Southwest corner of the site, Block 5, Lots 11 through 38 (as depicted on the Preliminary Plat). Some of these lots are within a Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) 100-year Floodway delineation. The FEMA Floodway is the reason why these lots are unbuildable at this time. The proposed Dry Creek Channel improvements will remove the Floodway from the aforementioned lots. Therefore, the lots will not be sold or built on until such time as the Dry Creek Channel improvements are completed (up to our site) or until such time as the FEMA Floodway delineation is removed from the proposed lots. I am requesting that, for the purposes of obtaining preliminary approval for the overall development, that all lots be included in the review process. Don Schlagel MBR/lg cc: TST, Inc., Consulting Engineers Linden Grove PUD - Preliminary, #49-94 November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 occur in the floodway and all structures in the floodplain must be elevated a minimum of 18" above the 100 year flood elevation. Lots 44 through 71, as proposed, are either in the floodway or are dependent on access from streets that are in the floodway. The City Stormwater Utility and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are in the process of reviewing a realignment of the Dry Creek channel that would likely take this portion of the development out of the floodway. Until the channel realignment occurs, Lots 44 through 71 cannot receive final P.U.D. approval. FINDINGS of FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Linden Grove P.U.D., Preliminary, staff makes the following findings of fact: * It scores 83% on the Residential Uses Density Chart in the L.D.G.S. The Density Chart supports the proposed gross residential density of 3.57 dwelling units per acre. * It meets the applicable All Development Criteria in the L.D.G.S. except A-3.1 Utility Capacity, A-3.2 Design Standards, and A-3.3 Water Hazards. * It is in compliance with the City's adopted solar Orientation Ordinance. * Lots 44 through 71, as proposed, are either in the Dry Creek floodway or are dependent on access from streets that are in the floodway. Until channel realignment occurs, Lots 44 through 71 cannot receive final P.U.D. approval. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Linden Grove P.U.D., Preliminary -#49-94, with the following condition: 1. That Lots 44 through 71 are being shown for Preliminary P.U.D. approval only. A plan for these lots cannot be submitted to the City for final P.U.D. review and approval, nor can building permits be issued, until the Dry Creek channel realignment is completed, thereby taking this area out of the floodway. Linden Grove PUD - Preliminary, #49-94 November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Parking: The project will provide 2 unobstructed, off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit. Solar orientation: There are 123 of the 187 lots that comply with the definitions of a solar oriented lot in the Solar Orientation ordinance. This equals 66%, exceeding the minimum 65% as set forth in the ordinance. 4. Neighborhood Compatibilit A neighborhood information meeting was held on June 8, 1994 to enable the developer's design consultants to present the proposal to interested citizens. Primary comments and concerns centered around a potential street connection between Linden Grove and Alta Vista, the impacts to the schools, and fire protection. Some residents of Alta Vista expressed concern about their streets being able to accommodate additional traffic if a connection is made between developments. In general, the residents of this northeast portion of Fort Collins are concerned about fire protection for existing and new development without a fire station north of the railroad tracks. A copy of the minutes from this meeting are attached to the staff report. 5. Transportation: The access to the homes in this development will be from local public streets via two street connections to North Lemay Avenue. There will be a street connection made to the northwesterly property line of this development, between Lots 33 & 34, to allow for a future vehicular connection across the Lake Canal into the Redwood P.U.D. The applicant is providing a street connection to the south from Little Leaf Court. This connection will occur when the property to the south develops. These street connections are important as neighborhood connectors, thereby reducing the need for all vehicular traffic to rely on the closest arterial street (in this case being North Lemay Avenue) for circulation between neighborhoods. From a transportation standpoint, local street connections should be made to avoid the creation of neighborhood enclaves. 6. Storm Drainage: The southwest portion of the Linden Grove P.U.D is located in the existing Dry Creek floodway and the middle portion of the development is in the Dry Creek floodplain. No development can Linden Grove PUD - Preliminary, #49-94 November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: RIM, RLP; existing single family and multi -family residential S: RL, RLP; existing single family residential E: RLP; vacant property W: RLP, IP; existing single family residential, vacant The property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins with the East Vine Drive Fifth Annexation in May, 1978. 2. Land Use• This is a request for preliminary P.U.D. approval for a total of 213 residential dwelling units (125 single family residential lots, 36 patio home lots, and 52 duplex dwelling units on 26 lots) on 59.61 acres. The gross residential density is 3.57 dwelling units per acre, exceeding the required minimum of 3.0 dwelling units per acre as set forth in the L.D.G.S. The request was evaluated against the Residential Uses Density Chart and the applicable All Development Criteria of the Land Development Guidance System (L.D.G.S.). It scores 83% on the Density Chart, earning points for: a) being within 3,500' of an existing neighborhood park (Greenbriar); b) being within 3,000, of a major employment center (North College Avenue, East Vine Drive); c) being located in "North" Fort Collins; d) having 25% of its property boundary contiguous to existing urban development; e) the project containing between 50 and 99 acres; and f) the project providing/containing between 7 and 8 acres devoted to recreational uses (including the Dry Creek regional drainage channel). The Density Chart supports the proposed residential density for this development. 3. Design• Landscaping: The proposed landscaping on the North Lemay Avenue street frontage, in the common open space areas, and in the storm drainage facilities will be installed by the developer and maintained by a Homeowner's Association or other private entity. The City will not be responsible for the installation or maintenance of these areas.
