14. How is the single point of access, up to a maximum of 9001,
for emergency access going to be dealt with in this
development?
15. What is meant by the "Pedestrian Emergency Access" on the west
side at the end of Highbridge Court? How will that
bicycle/pedestrian access be treated from a landscape or
improvement standpoint?
16. The drainage report must update and be in compliance with the
regional drainage report for this area.
17. The PV & L Ditch should be lined in conjunction with this
development.
18. No soils report was submitted with the Preliminary P.U.D.
plans. One must be part of the Final P.U.D. submittal.
19. A daycare center should be considered as part of this
development proposal.
20. The right-of-way width can now be 48' instead of 54' for
standard local streets, as long as 12' wide utility easements
are provided outside of the rights -of -way on both sides of the
streets.
21. The densities for Kingston Woods P.U.D., Imperial Estates, and
the Mountain Ridge Farm P.U.D. must be shown on the
preliminary Site and Landscape Plan.
22. General Note 5 on the preliminary Site and Landscape Plan
discusses fencing for this development. The maximum 4' fence
height is good (actually desirable, from a visual standpoint)
but generally single family residential developments restrict
the height to 4' only along open spaces and detention
facilities. This is your choice. What height will the fences
be along Imperial Estates, along the west boundary line?
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay
on schedule for the May 23, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing:
******************************************************************
Plan revisions are due May 4, 1994. Please contact me for the
number of folded revisions required for each document.
PMTIs, renderings, and a folded copies of final revisions (for the
Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on May 16,
1994.
******************************************************************
a. Bicycle/pedestrian access should be provided to and along
the Pleasant Valley & Lake Ditch.
b. How will the parcel to the east gain access when it is
developed? You should explore providing access to that
property from this development.
C. What is the nature of the "out parcel" at the northwest
corner of this development? If it is likely to be re-
developed then it will need access from this development.
d. Improvements will need to be made to the Horsetooth Road -
Seneca Street intersection as per the traffic study
•recommendations. .
e. Bicycle lanes need to be provided on Seneca Street.
Please contact Tom Vosberg, at 221-6608, if you have questions
about the Transportation comments.
8. The Natural Resources Department has stated that they would
like more information on the intent for landscaping in the
detention ponds and the open space area along the PV & L
Ditch. They will be promoting the use of naturalistic
landscaping in the detention ponds and along the ditch. They
will provide additional details at the time of Final P.U.D.
review or you may contact Rob Wilkinson at 221-6288.
9. Parkland fees of $779 per dwelling unit will apply to this
development and be collected at the time of issuance of
building permits. You should show a future City trail on the
ditch road side of the PV & L Ditch (being the east side?).
The Parks 6 Recreation Department will not maintain the
landscaping in the West Horsetooth road right-of-way.
10. This proposal does not appear to score well on .the Residential
Uses Density Point chart in the Land Development guidance
System. As a given, it earns 20 points only for being within
3,500 feet of an existing or reserved neighborhood park
(Westfield Park). The gross residential density of 4-plus
dwelling units per acre is not supported by the point chart.
11. The current Seneca Overall Development Plan (Master Plan) that
was approved in January, 1990 shows a church site on the
northerly 8 acres of the property west of Seneca Street. The
O.D.P. must be amended with this request to allow single
family residential on this portion of the property.
12. Architectural elevations showing the typical homes to be built
in Stockbridge P.U.D. should be submitted to the Planning
Department for review.
13. Fire hydrants must be located within 400' of all the homes and
provide minimum 1,000 gallon per minute fire flows.

Dear Ben,.
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Stockbridge P.U.D.
Preliminary that were submitted to the City for review on April 4,
1994, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. Columbine CableVision has stated that on the preliminary Site
and Landscape Plan that they received there are no utility
easements marked. They would like to have utility easements at
the back of all lots. They would like to see all open space
marked as a utility easement.
CCTV would like to work with the developer on installing cable
TV main lines in a joint trench method with U.S. West
telephone.
2. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to
this letter.
3. Public Service Company has stated that planting of street
trees in front lot utility easements and Tracts A, B. and C is
restricted such that no trees ca be planted closer than 4' to
any natural gas line.
4. The Zoning Department has stated that varying front setbacks
is not allowed. Front setbacks may be different on each lot
but must be specifically designated. This comment is in
reference to the note under the Land Use Table on the
preliminary Site and Landscape Plan.
5. The street named Bridge Court should be renamed because there
is an existing Bridge Way in Fort Collins. The names are too
similar and could be the cause for confusion in a time when
emergency response is critical.
6. The Light a Power Department has stated that you must maintain
40' between street trees and streetlights (see the attached
drawing).
7. The comments received from the Transportation Division are as
follows:
