HomeMy WebLinkAboutWESTFIELD PARK (STOCKBRIDGE) PUD - FINAL - 27-94A - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTSY a of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In my capacity as a research social scientist (for the government) I have studied negotiation and public participation processes., I believe my views on the matter of the Westfield Park PUD deserve some consideration and respect -- both as an affected citizen and as a concerned professional. I wrote to the Chairwoman of the Planning Board shortly after that past hearing and received an apology from her for the indifference evidenced by the Board during a hearing process. I appreciate her thoughtful response. However, it is apparent that my argument has had no substantive impact upon the Planning Board's decision in that Westfield Park PUD is now moving forward to final approval with no modification in density that I can perceive --at least not according to the sketchy map enclosed with your Hearing announcement. At 118 units on 30.21 acres, lots could not exceed 114 acre if there were no land allotments for roads, easements, or drainage field. This constitutes sandwiching a "Postage stamp" development between two spacious developments. That does not constitute compatible site zoning and permitting! Please recall that it is not the developer of this property who is going to have to live with it for the next 20 or 30 years, it is we --the neighbors. There is the potential to keep an enclave of space among houses along the south side of Horsetooth from Shields to Taft Hill. One mile -long stretch where it is not virtually possible to step from roof -top to roof -top as it is in so much of the current Fort Collins and Larimer County sprawl. In the event that you do actually hear and consider these comments, I then thank you. Sincerely, �! Dr. Jonathan G.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 RE: Westfield Park PUD, Final. #27-94a Dear Board Members: I spoke out, a year or two ago when the Westfield Park PUD was before the Board before and during the "neighborhood explanatory sessions" sponsored by the developer at the nearby school. This experience, frankly, has soured me deeply concerning open participation in Fort Collins governmental process. When I spoke before the Board, I was treated in a cavalier manner: Board members talked among themselves and checked on the upcoming agenda rather than listen to my objection. I argued that Westfield PUD, although satisfying the Fort Collins requirement for minimum density, totally disregards the requirement for compatibility with neighboring developments. Westfield Park PUD is sandwiched between Imperial Estates on the west --with 112 acre or larger lots, and a "horse property" development on the east --with 1.75 acre lots. Those are not, by any stretch of the imagination, compatible or comparable development designs to Westfield which includes lots as small as 5,000 sq.ft. The only action taken by the Board aside approval of the Westfield PUD plan, was to pass an exception for the PUD in case there was any legal problem with the small size of some lots. At the time I spoke before the Board, I. mistakenly thought my views would be shown respect and considered because I am an affected, concerned citizen. On the contrary, my statement was ignored, and developers in the hearing room were called by their first names and were asked, by the Board, to advise them on what would be needed. I did not list a long litany of credentials because, as I said, I expected to be afforded respect as a citizen. I am, however, a research social scientist and human ecologist. I hold a MS in Environmental Science and Regional Planning from Washington State University and a Ph.D. in Renewable Natural Resources from the University of Arizona. I studied planning at both Washington State and at the University t FINAL NOTE: The Planning and Zoning Board date is uncertain. 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. 16 17 Im 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 1 st 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. Comma—tty Planning and Environmental _ervices Current Planning City of Fort Collins PROJECT DATE: APPLICANT: CONSULTANT: STAFF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES Westfield Park PUD February 12, 1997 Leo Schuster Bruce Hendee Steve Olt, Planner 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.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the Westfield Park PUD, Final - #27-94A, with the following condition: The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final PUD plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the fourth meeting (June 19, 1997) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer or the City staff, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also, as necessary, extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made.) If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decision" of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; however, in the event that a dispute is presented to the Board for resolution Westfield Park PUD - Final, #27-94A April 27, 1997 P & Z Meeting Page 4 Landscaping along the rear of Lots 28 - 30, 49 - 51, 68 & 69, and 86 - 88, in conjunction with a solid 6' high wood fence, is being provided on the lots along the entire west property line of the Westfield Park PUD as visual and noise buffer to the Imperial Estates Subdivision. The developer will be responsible for constructing the fence along the west property line. Money for the landscaping on the rear of the aforementioned lots will be placed in escrow and drawn on as the trees are planted with each home. Staff feels that the condition of preliminary approval has been met. A copy of the minutes of the meeting is attached to this memo. 5. Transportation/Engineering: Access to this development is from Seneca Street, a collector street that bisects the property north to south between West Horsetooth Road (to the north) and West Harmony Road (to the south). The developer is proposing to implement a series of chicanes (traffic calming, speed reducing devices) in Seneca Street. These chicanes would be raised islands that would direct automobiles through two short curvilinear sections of the street. They would be separated from the normal curb and flowline of the street by approximately 6 feet, thus allowing on -street bicycle lanes to continue on a straight line behind the chicanes (where they occur). The chicanes would have street trees planted in them to provide a vertical element for visual purposes. There are on -going discussions between the developer and City utilities about the compatibility of the trees in the chicanes with the underground utilities along the street, with the intent to resolve any issues (before the final utility plans could be approved and signed) and allow the addition of the chicanes. However, if it is determined that the chicanes cannot work then Seneca Street can be built without them, as a collector street to current City standards. Either solution does not change the layout, density, and function of the overall development. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Westfield Park PUD, Final, staff makes the following Findings of Fact: It is in conformance with the approved Stockbridge PUD, Preliminary; It meets the All Development Criteria of the LDGS; It satisfies the condition of preliminary approval that required the developer to continue to work with the neighbors to the west concerning adequate mitigation Westfield Park PUD - Final, #27-94A April 27, 1997 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Transportation/Engineering of this staff report) along Seneca Street. The common open space areas and regional detention pond (along the West Horsetooth Road frontage and the east side of the development along the Pleasant Valley & Lake Canal) will contain a mix of shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees and deciduous shrubs. The common open space areas and landscaping within adjacent street rights -of way will be maintained by the homeowner's association for this development. Solar Orientation: This development is subject to the City's Solar Orientation Ordinance that requires at least 65% of the lots in the Westfield Park PUD to conform to the definition of a "solar -oriented lot". A total of 98 of the 118 lots, equaling 83%, comply with the ordinance. Condition of Preliminary PUD approval: The Planning and Zoning Board approved the Stockbridge PUD - Preliminary on May 23, 1994 with the following condition: That the developer work further with the neighborhood and planning staff on transition issues, berming, landscaping and fencing on the western portion of the property, and that the developer be willing to provide pedestrian/bicycle access across the canal, with the variance to the point chart. The developer discussed the transition issues between the Westfield Park PUD and the Imperial Estates Subdivision with neighbors at a "follow-up" neighborhood meeting (see Section 4. Neighborhood Compatibility, below). The developer is dedicating an access easement and constructing an 8' wide bicycle/pedestrian trail between Purple Sage Court and the east property line, along the Pleasant Valley & Lake Canal. The reference to the [residential density] point chart variance was obviously dealt with when the Board granted approval of a variance to the Residential Uses Density Chart the night of the public hearing for the preliminary PUD. Staff feels that the condition of preliminary approval has been met. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: A "follow-up" neighborhood information meeting was held on February 12, 1997 at Webber Elementary School to discuss the transition issues between this new development and the Imperial Estates Subdivision. There were approximately 12 affected property owners and neighbors in attendance. The specific purpose of this meeting was to discuss potential mitigation measures for the interface between the Westfield Park PUD and the Imperial Estates Subdivision, in compliance with the aforementioned Planning and Zoning Board's condition of preliminary approval. The developer and the neighbors in attendance reached an agreement based on the following commitment: Westfield Park PUD - Final, #27-94A April 27, 1997 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: RL, LMN; existing single family residential (Kingston Woods PUD) S: RL, LMN; planned residential (Mountain ridge PUD) E: UE, RL; existing large acreage single family residence W: R; existing single family residential in Larimer County (Imperial Estates) The property was annexed into the City with the Horsetooth-Harmony West Annexation in June, 1980. The property was subdivided as the Stockbridge Village PUD in May, 1981 for 63 lots on 30.47 acres. A portion of this property was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in January, 1990, for an 8.0 acre church site. The Planning and Zoning Board approved the Stockbridge PUD, Preliminary on May 23, 1994 for 117 single family lots on 31.02 acres. 2. Land Use: This is a request for final PUD approval for 118 single family residential lots on 31.02 acres. It is in conformance with the approved Stockbridge PUD, Preliminary (renamed Westfield Park PUD with this final request) and meets the applicable All Development Criteria in the LDGS. 3. Design: Landscaping: Landscaping along the rear of Lots 28 - 30, 49 - 51, 68 & 69, and 86 - 88, in conjunction with a solid 6' high wood fence, is being provided on the lots along the entire west property line of the Westfield Park PUD as visual and noise buffer to the Imperial Estates Subdivision. The developer will be responsible for constructing the fence along the west property line. Money for the landscaping on the rear of the aforementioned lots will be placed in escrow and drawn on as the trees are planted with each home. There will be street (shade) trees, at 40' spacing, in the parkways along Seneca Street. There will also be shade trees in the proposed chicanes (see Section 5.
