Home My WebLink AboutWOODLAND STATION PUD - PRELIMINARY ..... 5/31/94 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW - 18-94B - CORRESPONDENCE -i 15. Utility Plans are required at the time of submittal, meeting the requirements of the Engineering Department. A Development Agreement will be required to obligate- the developer for construction of the public improvements indicated on the Utility Plans. 16. The Street Oversizing Fee is $584 per dwelling unit payable at the time of building permit issuance. 17. There is significant vegetation on the southerly portion (Strachan Farm). These trees could become a significant focal point of the development. It is suggested that you contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester, to evaluate future disposition of these trees. 18. A neighborhood meeting will be required. 5. The Parkland Development Fee is $779 per dwelling unit payable at the time of building permit issuance. 6. The site is located in the Fox Meadows Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $6,468 per acre, subject to the runoff coefficient and the amount of stormwater detention. The flows from the development must be routed to the outfall which is the inlet ditch for Fossil Creek Reservoir. This may require obtaining the necessary offsite easements. 7. At the time of submittal, a Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion. Control Plan are required. 8. The Stormwater Utility strongly discourages backyard drainage systems. Experience indicates that there are numerous problems with homeowner's understanding how these systems work. If a backyard drainage system is to be installed, then there must be plat notes, and other possible notices filed with the County Clerk and Recorder to make homeowners aware of the situation and their responsibilities. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6589. 9. A traffic impact analysis will be required. The southerly access drive should align with any possible dedicated access on the west side of C.R.#9. Also, it may be helpful to coordinate with Bartran Homes, developer of English Ranch, on future filings to determine other possible street locations in the area. 10. It is recommended that the cul-de-sac on the north be connected into the Shields Farm. Although this connection may be controversial with the neighbors, this connection is necessary for second point of access for existing County residents. 11. Although the southerly street may be single loaded, it may be a good idea to make this a 36 foot wide street since it will carry traffic to the arterial. At minimum, there should be the 36 foot cross-section at the intersection with C.R. #9 so a separate left turn bay may be provided. 12'. The necessary street and utility dedications must be made adjacent to C.R. #9, classified as an arterial street. 13. The developers are encouraged to contact N.C.R. to coordinate street improvements on C.R. #9. Also, please be aware that the City will be constructing a portion of C.R. #9, along with bicycle lanes, this summer. Please contact Mike Herzig, 221- 6750, for details on this project. 14. The arterial section along C.R. #9 should be designed and included in the Utility Plans. This includes cross -sections and centerline profiles as per City standards. For.further information, please contact Kerrie Ashbeck, 221-6750. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: May 31, 1994 ITEM: Shields/Strachan Farms APPLICANT: Everitt Companies (Shields Farm), and Paul Ross (Strachan Farm) c/o Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: The two farms combine to represent 135 dwelling units on 35.25 acres, located on the east side of County Road #9, north of Hewlett-Packard. COMMENTS: 1. The City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department may have difficulty in serving the site. Presently, there are electrical facilities on the north side of Horsetooth Road, approximately 1,800 feet west of the intersection of County Road #9. Another possible source of power would be duct bank on the north side of Harmony Road. The problem with the Harmony source is that the right-of-way for C.R. #9 does not have any available space for additional underground utilities. In addition, the existing vegetation on the east side of C.R. #9 may cause a problem in allowing a suitable location for underground facilities. From either source, there is a considerable distance to the site. For further information, please contact Janet Perry, 221-6700. 2. There is a 24 inch diameter water line and a 24 inch diameter sewer line in C.R.#9 that can serve the site. Repays are due on both lines. Mains can be extended from C.R. #9 down the local streets. A water main needs to extend into the easterly cul-de-sac to serve the subdivision to the east. For further information, please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681. 3. Patio homes or duplexes on their own lots which have a zero lot line or attached side wall must comply with building separation requirements of the Uniform Building Code, as amended by the City of Fort Collins. Please contact Sharon Getz, Plans Examiner, 221-6760, for further information. 4. All homes must be within 400 feet of a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gallons per minute with 20 psi residual pressure. Be sure that all exterior portions of the patio homes are within 150 feet of an approved fire access roadway.
