It depends on stormwater and drainage issues and the ability to resolve them. The earliest possible date is March 24th, but that date probably will not happen. The next (and most likely) date is April 28th. You will receive written notice, by mail, of that public hearing. 28. Question: Do you have an estimate of completion time lines? Answer: It won't be until Fall of'97 or Spring of'98 for Phase 1. As for a time line, we would like to sell 3 to 4 lots per month. So Phase 2 would roughly be 1998 or 1999. 29. Question: Are all of the utilities coming from the south? Answer: They will come through the Mountain Ridge PUD development. 30. Question: What are the sizes of the lots? Answer: The smaller lots are about 50 x 100. The ones along Imperial Estates are larger. 31. Question: I think you have done an admirable job addressing some of the subjects from 3 years ago. Why has it taken so long to do this plan (2 years)? Also, why not consider bringing the Burr property (to the east) to add to this? Answer: We did try to buy the land but it was sold to someone else. The sanitary sewer is the reason why we haven't done this for 2 years. It is expensive because it is 20 feet deep. The sewer has now moved west, closer to the development. 32. Question: Is there a stoplight planned for the intersection of Seneca Street and Horsetooth Road? Answer: No, there is not. 33. Question: Steve, do you enforce the private development covenants? Answer: No, we do not. 34. Question: Do you enforce grading plans? Answer: Yes, we do. All of the lots and homes have to meet a minimum grade. These plans are reviewed and enforced by the City Engineering Department and Stormwater Utility. 35. Question: In reference to the widening of Horsetooth Road, will that be clear to Taft Hill Road? We'll see a lot more traffic with this development. Answer: Basically, the developer will be responsible for only the improvements along the frontage of his property. 20. Question: You are bringing a sanitary sewer line in? Is that an open sewer? Answer: No, it is a pipe that is buried 10 feet under the ground. 21. Comment: There was mention of fencing between the Westfield Park PUD and Imperial Estates. There is a different neighborhood here. The idea of a fence is more for privacy. 22. Question: Will the fence go on down to the park? Answer: It will eventually go down to the north property line of the park but I don't think the fence will go along the park. There will be landscaping in that location. 23. Question: Who is responsible for the fence until the lots are done, the homeowner's association? Answer: We (the developer) would own any portion of the fence that we haven't sold a lot next to. 24. Comment: Typically the City does not review or enforce private covenants. That is a civil issue and we're not enforcers. 25. Question: What does the time frame look like as to when you will complete the 3 phases? Answer: We do not know yet. 26. Question: In regards to the ponds, what kind of drainage is there? Answer: The detention pond is designed to accept and hold storm water for a short period of time, then release it slowly into the City's regional detention system. 27. Question: I'll ask again, when you start Phase 1 at what point will there be a homeowner's association to enforce the covenant (how many homes will be built?)? Answer: We try, when we get as many as 20 homeowner's, to recruit people to the board. Then we wean ourselves off the board as we are finishing up. We're on the board until we are almost done with the development. 11 12 13. 14. 15 liP 17 10 19 Question: Who is responsible for the maintenance of the property? Answer: The developer puts the fence in. The maintenance of the fence becomes the responsibility of the new property owner. Question: The natural slope runs down. What about that? Answer: Each one of the sites tilts to the east and no berming will occur along the west side of this development because of drainage. This site will drain between each house. Question: You won't use Crescent Street in Imperial Estates, for construction traffic during construction, will you? Answer: No, there's no street connection for possible access there, between the two developments. Comment: There is a native area/grass area on the east side of Seneca Street. Question: When is this planned to start the digging? Answer: Roughly, in the Spring of 1997. Question: Did the 1st plan submitted to the City say that there would be the 6 foot fence? Answer: Yes, the preliminary plan that was approved in May, 1994 proposed a 6 foot high architectural screen fence. Comment: We can approach you with discussion on the design of the fence. I just want to be a good neighbor. Question: That retention pond/park, is it similar to Rossborough Park? Is it like the detention there? Answer: Yes, it is. It does have some 6 foot cuts. Question: Where the bicycle/pedestrian pathway breaks through the fence, along the west property line. Is there no fence right there? Answer: Yes, that is correct. The fence stops north and south of the proposed pathway to allow it to continue west into Imperial Estates. 4. Comment: Also, the wind could go through. Fences fall down all the time because of that. I think the spaces would be good. 5. Question: The landscaping in the rear yards should be there indefinitely and, if they cut them down, we could report that to the City? Answer: Yes, you could. That would be a violation of the approved planned unit development approval. 6. Comment: I would like to say that you really spend a good amount of time seeing what the developer is going to do. I think the neighbors should have volunteers to be on the Homeowner's Association. People will receive covenants which most of them won't read. Most problems come from people not reading the covenants. Response: The fence needs to be discussed very well. I think it would be a good idea to have no fence but that is not acceptable to the neighbors. I think a shadow box fence is a good effect. 7. Question: Would you fully fence all of the west side of the development initially or just Phase 1? Answer: All of Phase 1 and about half of Phase 2 when Phase.1 is developed. 8. Comment: You, as a developer, can help that relationship so much by being very concrete, specific about what you are going to do. I have been yelled at by my neighbors. Response: I like the fence to be "concrete" in terms of what is going to look like. I am not one that likes 6 foot high fences. I would propose a 5 foot fence if I could. It apparently is unacceptable to you as home owners, however. 9. Comment: The developer is building all the fencing along the west property line himself. Sometimes (most times) home owners are responsible for that. 10. Comment: If I were you, I would only allow there to be one kind, one style of fence. Response: I agree. You have got my vote on that.

Comment: In regards to the buffering along the west, I'd like to see more buffering along there next to the parcel at the northwest corner. That land has become part of my property now. Response: There will be a 6 foot fence and landscaping in the rear of the lots in the Westfield Park PUD adjacent to that property, just like along the remainder of the west property line. 2. Comment: According to the City there is really no enforcement for you to add trees in the back yards? You can't force the people to plant trees there. Response: A temporary certificate of occupancy is needed from the City to occupy any home. The developer will either plant the trees or put up money in escrow to ensure that the trees will be put in at the time a home is built. The developer will be committed to install the fence along the west side with Phase 1 and approximately % of Phase 2 at the beginning of the project. This will be part of the approved Site and Landscape Plan. 3. Question: Is that going to be a solid rail fence? Comment: I like to have small spaces in a fence. If dogs can see through the fence, they tend to not bark as much. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 9 (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020
