Concept Review Letters
and explanation of how issues have been addressed
Conceptual Review Letter -August 28, 2000
2. Zoning Department comments:
a) The Land Use Code (LUC) requires a mix of housing in the development, with a minimum of three housing types in a project
that contains 45 acres or more. Section 4.4 (D) (2) (c) of the LUC. Defines housing types. Any single housing type cannot constitute
more than 90% of the total number of dwelling units in the development.
We have complied with these requirements in our ODP.
3. Engineering Department comments:
a) County Road I I will be improved with the use of a shared cost program in conjunction with this development.
Thank you for the information.
b) Development of this property will require street connections to adjacent properties that are developable or redevelopable.
We have provide these connections to the south and west. The northeast boundary of the Lind property is the
edge of the UGA. In addition, this boundary is a deeply incised (approximately 30') irrigation canal.
c) Street oversizing fees will apply to this development. These fees are based on vehicle trip generations for the proposed land
uses in the development plan.
Thank you for the information.
d) The ODP should follow the City's Master Street Plan and the adopted Mountain Vista Subarea Plan.
We have followed the Mountain Vista Plan and the Master Street Plan
e) County Road 52 is designated as a minor arterial street.
Thank you for the information.
) The internal streets must meet the City's current standards.
Thank you for the information.
g) A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) will be required with the ODP submittal.
An ODP level TIS is included with.this submittal.
h) A Development Agreement (between the City and the developer) and a Development Construction Permit, issued by the City
Engineering Department, will be required.

Lind Property Overall Development Plan
Neighborhood meeting concerns
A neighborhood meting was held April 2, 2001 at the City Streets Department Break room. There
were five neighbors present along with, Brian Grubb City Planner, Vaughn Furness, Consulting
Planner with Jim Sell Design, and Yvonne Seaman representing Centex Homes. The neighborhood
concerns are summarized in below. Centex Homes reply to the neighborhood concerns follows the
comment.
1. Density along County Road 11 (Lower Density Preferable)
The subdivision on the east side of County Road 11 will take into consideration the lot size and
orientation of the existing lots on the west side of County Road 11.
2. Dollar cost of so many ditch crossings
The City of Fort Collins requires access to properties at intervals not to exceed six hundred and sixty
(660) feet. Centex Homes has asked for alternative compliance to this requirement because of the
unusual feature created by the No.8 Outlet Ditch. The proposed crossings are located to facilitate
access to the property east of the No.8 Outlet Ditch.
3. Safety of the ditch crossings
The crossings will be design to meet city standards for safety and accessibility
4. Traffic on County Road 11
Traffic on County Road 11 is an ongoing concern and has been studied in the traffic impact study.
Alternatives to street improvements and designs are being reviewed by the city. The City has a
preliminary concept design idea for County Road 11, which shifts it to the east to avoid the existing
homes and their driveways. A final decision on the street design has not been made but solutions to
the road design will be considered as part of this development procedure.
5. Traffic at the intersection of Vine Drive and Lemay Avenue
Traffic in the Mountain Vista Subarea is being studied at this time; the revised traffic study looks at
additional impacts on the Mountain Vista Subarea. Alternative solutions to the problems at this and
other intersections are being considered. As this and other developments proceed through the process
a solution to the traffic concerns will surface.
6. Lack of a primary school in the area
The Poudre School District has determined a need for a new elementary school and a senior high
school within the Mountain Vista Subarea. An existing elementary site has been dedicated as part of
the Waterfield PUD Project off of East Vine Drive and Summitview Drive. An approximately 110-
acre site has been acquired by the District for a future senior high school located on the northwest
corner of Mountain Vista Drive and County Road 9E.

City work out an agreement to accept the f ows.
We have addressed this issue in our drainage report.
f The Richard's Lake PUD project has detention facilities that are 2 times the volume of the design storm and have a manual
shut-off controlled by the ditch rider. Due to previous problems with the current system, the ditch company seeks a new
overall approach to discuss with the City.
We have addressed this issue in our drainage report.
g) Any temporary retention will need to have a way to be drained after a storm when the ditch can handle the f ow. If the
pond location can be shown to percolate, that would be acceptable, but if not it would have to be pumped.
We have addressed this issue in our drainage report.

Policy CAD-2.1 Civic Buildings and Grounds. Civic facilities -- such as community buildings, government offices,
recreation centers, post offices, plazas, libraries and schools -- should be placed in central locations as highly visible focal
points. The urban design and architectural quality should express permanence, importance, and respect for broad citizen
preferences and community identity. Major public buildings should have a civic presence enhanced by their height, mass and
materials. In addition, public buildings should:
Be accessible by motorized vehicles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians.
Be integrated into a setting that includes generous landscaping and/or public outdoor spaces. City Plan Principles
and Policies Community Appearance & Design
Civic elements will be centrally located. The Neighborhood Center is in a central location at the intersection of two
Collector Streets. With the design of the streets, it is possible that public buildings will terminate the vista of the two
Collector Streets in three different directions.
Policy ENV-7.6 Watershed Approach to Stormwater Management Policy. In addition to flood control and drainage
functions, stormwater systems will be designed to minimize the introduction of human caused pollutants. Educational
programs and demonstration projects will be pursued to enhance public understanding of pollution prevention efforts.
Tributary systems will be designed for water quality control, with appropriate use of buffer areas, grass swales, detention
ponds, etc. Receiving water habitat restoration and protection will be included in stormwater master plans, in conjunction
with habitat mapping efforts. City Plan Principles and Policies Environment
Water quality techniques will be incorporated. Detention ponds, +/- 6.5 acres, are provided for water quality and
water quantity storm detention.
Policy NOL-1.2 Urban Development. The City will conserve and integrate natural areas into the developed landscape by
directing development away from sensitive areas and using innovative planning, design, and management practices. When it
is not possible to direct development away from natural areas, it should integrate them into the developed landscape in a
manner that conserves their integrity. The City will encourage and assist efforts by private landowners and organizations to
integrate natural areas into new development and to protect, restore, or enhance privately owned natural areas.
There will be an appropriate buffer for all areas adjacent to the canal. A Park as been planned to be adjacent to the
canal.
Policy NOL-1.2 Urban Development. The City will conserve and integrate natural areas into the developed landscape by
directing development away from sensitive areas and using innovative planning, design, and management practices. When it
is not possible to direct development away from natural areas, it should integrate them into the developed landscape in a
manner that conserves their integrity. The City will encourage and assist efforts by private landowners and organizations to
integrate natural areas into new development and to protect, restore, or enhance privately owned natural areas.
Natural and man-made drainage areas will be enhanced by laying back the steep slopes of the existing No. 8 Outlet
Canal for better slope stabilization. Areas will be planted with appropriate plant materials to help stabilize the slopes.
There will be a pedestrian/bicycle trail along the canal with crossings at all vehicular crossings and two additional
pedestrian/bicycle crossings.`
PRINCIPLE GM-4: Investment in capital facilities and services will be reviewed comprehensively and made within a
framework that balances and evaluates the costs and the relative importance of competing needs.
Policy GM-4.1 City Commitment to Providing Capital Facilities. Recognizing the limits of the City' s financial resources,
the City commits to deriving the greatest value possible from its investments in infrastructure by assuring maintenance of
existing capital facilities, gradually remedying existing deficiencies in facility provision over time, and providing facilities
adequate to serve the new growth that occurs under City Plan. Each of the categories of facilities provided by the City shall
be funded at a level determined to be appropriate in accordance with the capital improvements plan of the City.
Policy GM-4.2 Capital Improvement Policy. The City will continue to operate under the following Capital Improvement
Policies: C The City will develop a multi -year plan for capital improvements, which shall be reviewed and updated on an
annual basis.
E:\PROJECT FILES\LAND\2084J Lind\Docs\ODP\jb2084ODP.just.revised.2.doc
a. Building entries as viewed from the street should be clearly marked. Buildings should be sited in ways
to make their entries or intended uses clear to and convenient for pedestrians.
b. The location and pattern of streets, buildings and open spaces must facilitate direct pedestrian access.
Commercial buildings should provide direct access from street corners to improve access to bus stop
facilities. Shopping areas should provide for pedestrian and bicycle connections to adjoining
neighborhoods.
C. Creating barriers which separate commercial developments from residential areas and transit should be
avoided. Lot patterns should be provide safe and direct pedestrian connections from residential areas to
schools, parks, transit, employment centers, and other neighborhood uses.
d. Direct sidewalk access should be provided between cul-de-sacs and nearby transit facilities.
This project will include a civic core rich with pedestrian activities.
Policy T-5.3 Continuity. The City shall provide a safe, continuous and understandable pedestrian network incorporating a
system of sidewalks, crossings and trails throughout the community. Bridges and crossings should be provided over
railroads, rivers, drainage -ways, and other features that may be major barriers to a continuous pedestrian network.
Connections will be provided to all existing adjacent neighborhoods.
Principle T-6: Street crossings will be developed to be safe, comfortable, and attractive.
Policy T-6.1 Street Crossings. Street crossing standards should be established that include crosswalks, lighting, median
refuges, comer sidewalk widening, ramps, signs, signals, and landscaping. Crosswalks should be well marked and visible to
motorists. They should be designed to fit and enhance the context and character of the area, and provide for safety for all age
groups and ability groups.
Policy T-6.2 Intersection Improvements. Traffic calming and sight distance improvements at intersections should be
developed where appropriate to enhance the safety of street crossings. Painted intersection " stop striping" should be
provided to keep vehicles clear of pedestrian crossings. Curb radii should be minimized to reduce the speed of right turning
vehicles and reduce the distance for the pedestrian to cross the street.
Policy T-6.3 Pedestrian Signalization. The City will ensure that signals, signs, and markings have clear vehicular and
pedestrian indicators for street crossings. Automatic pedestrian phases at high demand intersections and pedestrian buttons at
low demand areas should be provided. Protected pedestrian signal phases to improve safety should also be provided in high
pedestrian demand areas.
These elements will be an integral part of the overall design theme.
Principle T-7: The City will encourage the development of comfortable and attractive pedestrian facilities and settings to
create an interesting pedestrian network.
Policy T-7.1 Pedestrian Facilities. The City will encourage the provision of pedestrian scale improvements that fit the context
of the area. The color, materials, and form of pedestrian facilities and features should be appropriate to their surroundings, as
well as the functional unity of the pedestrian network, through means such as:
a. Developing attractive improvements which enhance the character and pedestrian scale of the urban
environment including streetscape design, vertical treatments, widened sidewalks, and furnishings.
b. Incorporating special design features, public art, and site details that can enhance the pedestrian scale of
streets and become an urban amenity.
C. Encouraging outdoor cafes and activity areas that contribute to the character and human scale of the
sidewalk environment. Building design and details should support the human scale of the street
incorporating such elements as windows and other openings, porches and recesses, awnings, and patios.
Pedestrian spaces will be incorporated into the site.
PRINCIPLE CAD-2: Public spaces, such as plazas, civic buildings, outdoor spaces, parks, and gateway landscapes should
be designed to be functional, accessible, attractive, safe and comfortable.
E:\PROJECT FILES\LAND\2084J Lind\Docs\ODP\jb2084ODP.just.revised.2.doc
Principles and Policies
PRINCIPLE AN-2: A wide range of open lands, such as small parks, squares, greens, play fields, natural areas, orchards and
gardens, greenways, and other outdoor spaces should be integrated into neighborhoods.
Policy AN-2.1 Neighborhood Parks and Outdoor Spaces. Each neighborhood should have small parks or other outdoor
spaces located within walking distance of all homes. Outdoor spaces should be designed in conjunction with streets and
walkways, to be a formative, purposeful part of any land development, and not merely residual areas left over from site
planning for other purposes. They should be mostly surrounded by streets or house fronts, to maintain safety and visibility.
Lind ODP has planned for a neighborhood park and a neighborhood center outdoor public space.
Policy AN-2.2 Ownership of Outdoor Spaces. Some parks, common open lands and outdoor spaces will be publicly
owned, while others will be privately owned.
The proposed park will be dedicated to the City of Fort Collins and will be constructed and maintained by the Parks
Department.
Policy AN-3.3 Neighborhood Edges. The edges of a neighborhood should be formed by features shared with the adjoining
neighborhoods, such as major streets, changes in street pattern, greenways, and other features such as rivers, streams and
major irrigation ditches. Landscaped outdoor spaces and trails may be used to create an attractive environment at a
neighborhood's edge.
The Number 8 Outlet canal will provide a neighborhood edge. It will be enhanced by laying back the slopes and
planting vegetation. A trail has been planned in the buffer area of the canal.
Policy LMN-2.3 Neighborhood Center Location. A Neighborhood Center should be encouraged to locate near the center of
the neighborhood, but will be permitted to be located elsewhere such as on an edge.
Neighborhood Center is planned in the center of the development.
Policy LMN-2.9 Outdoor Spaces. Small neighborhood parks, squares and other common outdoor spaces will be included
within new neighborhoods. These spaces should be attractive settings, highly visible and easily observed from public streets.
An Outdoor Public Space has been planned in the neighborhood center of the Lind Property ODP.
Policy T-1.4 Adequate Facilities. The City will ensure the provision of adequate facilities for the movement of goods and
people while maintaining the integrity of existing streets and minimizing travel -related impacts within residential
neighborhoods. As growth occurs, appropriate transportation investments should be made to support increased demands for
travel.
A cooperative program for arterial street improvement is currently being implemented by the city and area
developers.
T- 4 Bicycle access should be improved to major activity centers, schools and neighborhoods, and barriers removed in these
areas to improve circulation. Facility development, safety and convenience should be established throughout these
destinations. Level of service standards for bicyclists should be higher within these areas.
Bicycle access will be provided between the residential and commercial land use.
Policy T-5.1 Land Use. The City will promote a mix of land uses and activities that will maximize the potential for
pedestrian mobility throughout the community. Policy T-5.2 Connections. Pedestrian connections will be clearly visible and
accessible, incorporating markings, signage, lighting and paving materials. Other important pedestrian considerations
include:

RE: Lind Property — Overall Development Plan (ODP)
Statement of Planning Objectives
Dear Board Members:
Overall Development Plan
The Development Team of the Lind Property is requesting approval of the proposed Overall Development Plan. The
proposed O.D.P. is for the 172 acre Lind Property Low Density Residential Mixed -Use Development located at the northeast
corner of the intersection of County Roads 11 and 52. The site is bound by County Road 11 to the west, County Road 52 to
the south, the No. 8 Outlet Canal to the northeast. The site is zoned LMN.
The existing site is been used for agriculture. It is owned by the Lind Family Trust and is under contract to Centex Homes. A
portion of the site slopes gently to the south, another portion slopes to the east. There are currently no identified wetlands on
this site.
The O.D.P. uses `Neo-traditional' style planning concepts of concentrating higher density residential uses around a
neighborhood commercial area with lower density residential uses radiating out to the east of the site. The residential areas
will be connected through a proposed neighborhood natural area that will serve as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor and drainage
way.
The proposed land uses for the property are to include:
