Comment:
There is an overall feeling that the north side of
Fort Collins would like to see a more open, lower
density feel to the area.
43.
Question:
I'm interested in hearing about your short-term
plans. Are you planning on submitting your
development request in the near future?
Answer:
Yes, we are planning on submitting our development
proposal on January 3, 1994.
44.
Question:
Where else have you developed?
Answer:
We are developing the Sandcreek Village at Willox
Lane and Bramblebush Street.
45.
Question:
Will these homes be similar to the ones in
Sandcreek Village?
Answer:
No, they will be slightly larger and more
expensive.
46. Question: How tall will the homes be?
Answer: They will be standard 2-story heights.
31. Question: Who is doing your traffic study?
Answer: Gene Coppola from Denver, Colorado.
32. Question: Will the Ford Estate remain in the large lot
configuration as shown on the concept plan?
Answer: Yes, it will.
33. Comment: That will make the remainder of the development a
relatively high density plan.
34. Question: Would you consider a larger lot proposal that may
require a density variance to the City
requirements?
35. Question: Do you find that it is possible to have a mixture
of size and price homes?
Answer: Within these small confines it will be difficult to
create that kind of diversity.
36. Comment: The direction that this proposal is establishing,
being a higher density, feels to be contrary to how
the neighborhood wants to see this area continue to
development.
37. Question: How will access to the development occur during the
construction? Ford Lane cannot take the weight of
construction traffic.
Answer: An answer to that question will be decided during
the development review process.
38. Question: Who is restricting additional access from this
development to Country Club Road?
Answer: The City is indicating that they will limit access
to Country Club Road.
39. Question: How long is construction and buildout of this
development anticipated to take?
Answer: That depends on the economic climate and the
market.
40. Question: The lot sizes in Pheasant Ridge Estates are
generally larger than these proposed lots, most
being in the 20,000 square foot range. Why can't
this development be more like Pheasant Ridge
Estates?
41. Comment: People are living up here on the north side because
we want a more open feeling.
\' 1
23. Comment: I am concerned about the number of lots and density
proposed with this development. I would prefer this
development to look more like the recently approved
Pheasant Ridge Estates.
24. Question: What can the City do to make provisions for
bicycle/pedestrian connections to the schools and
parks in the area? How do kids get out of this
development and get to the facilities to be uses?
Answer: The City Parks & Recreation Master Plan has
identified general trail routes that will be
provided, as possible. The Transportation Division
is always attempting to provide necessary
bicycle/pedestrian connections between
neighborhoods and facilities. The City will secure
trails, as necessary and possible, with new
development.
25. Question: What is the vacancy rate of single family homes in
Fort Collins?
26. Question: Have other annexations been done simply by annexing
street right-of-way to create the required
contiguity?
Answer: Yes, annexation of street right-of-way for
contiguity has been done on several occasions in
the past.
27. Question: What kind of utilities will be required for this
development?
Answer: The standard water, sanitary sewer, electric, gas,
television cable, and telephone will be provided by
the City, utility companies, or districts.
28. Question: We presently have low water pressure now, with
ELCO. How will this development improve the
situation?
Answer: That will be determined with the district's review
of the development request.
29. Question: There is concern about the safety of the homes on
Ford Lane, from a traffic standpoint. Do you need
two street intersections on Ford Lane?
Answer: We can look at the layout of this development to
see if the street network can be changed.
30. Comment: Most of the traffic will go north on Ford Lane to
Country Club Road because you cannot get out of
Spaulding Lane onto Highway 1.
13. Comment: At this time the water that collects would not
drain out of the low area. The existing culverts
are too high.
14. Question: Will the sewer main that exists in the area be
adequate to serve this development?
Answer: It is an old clay pipe that will have to be
replaced.
15. Question: What will this do to the property values around the
development? Who will be most affected?
16. Question: What size and type of homes are you planning to
build?
Answer: These will be 3-bedroom homes with basements,
approximately 1,500 square feet (plus) in size.
17. Question: Will these be tract homes?
Answer: There will be five models, or so, of homes for
prospective buyers to choose from.
18. Question: Will these homes look like the existing homes on
Ford Lane?
Answer: They will probably look a little more updated.
19. comment: The lot sizes proposed, at 3 dwelling units per
acre, are not consistent with properties in the
surrounding area.
20. Comment: There is concern about the upgrading of Ford Lane
and any improvements that may be required on the
east side of the street, impacting the existing
lots in Rimrock Subdivision.
21. Question: Has anybody looked at the impacts that this
development will have on the school?
Answer: The Poudre R-1 School District will be included in
the review of the development proposal so that they
can assess their needs and evaluate the existing
and proposed school boundaries.
22. Question: Can the City deny this project based on the results
of the traffic study or require the development to
decrease the number of lots to diminish the traffic
impacts?
Answer: Policy, standards, and regulations give the City
the ability to make those type of decisions.

Answer: A traffic impact analysis must be done as part of
the development review submittal to help determine
the potential traffic impacts in the area with new
development.
Question: Will there be covenants regulating the size of the
lots?
Answer: Yes, there will be covenants developed for this
project. The cost of the homes will be $110,000 to
$140,000.
Question: Who now owns this land?
Answer: It is presently in an estate and under contract to
Sandcreek Associates.
Question: Will there be an environmental study done for this
development?
Answer: The City's Natural Resource Department will
evaluate the potential wetlands/wildlife value of
this property as part of the development review
process.
Question: You could propose a higher density development than
you are showing now?
Answer: Within the City a project with a higher density
could be proposed.
Question: Why have you picked this particular parcel of land
for development? We came north to avoid
development.
10. Question: Will Ford Lane be widened with this development?
Answer: It will have to be improved to City standards if
the land develops in the City.
11. Question: Will Ford Lane be continued south to Spaulding
Lane?
Answer: Currently, the plan is not to continue Ford Lane
south with this development.
12. Question: We are very concerned with the drainage. We live at
the bottom of the hill. How will the storm drainage
(detention) area help me?
Answer: The development will be made to drain to the
detention area and be released at an acceptable
rate.

SANDCREER ASSOCIATES
December 15, 1993
Applicant: Ed Lawler/Pete Sherman
Sandcreek Associates LLC
P.O. Box 9684
Fort Collins, CO. 80525
City Planner: Steve Olt
The potential applicants, Sandcreek Associates, have expressed an
interest in developing a single family residential project on
vacant land at the southeast corner of the intersection of Terry
Lake Road (Colorado Highway 1) and Country Club Road.
The purpose of this meeting was to introduce Mr. Lawler and Mr.
Sherman, Sandcreek Associates, to the affected property owners and
other potentially affected interests in attendance and enable them
to ask questions about, express their concerns about, or express
their support for the development proposal. The following
questions, concerns, and responses were expressed at the meeting:
1. Question: You are going to put another road next to Ford
Lane?
Answer: We are going to increase traffic down Ford Lane by
quite a bit.
2. Question: Ford Lane does not belong to the property owners to
the east of the street?
Answer: No, it is a County road. It is dedicated as a
public street within the Rimrock Subdivision.
3. Question: In order for the land to be annexed into the City,
is there no say by other property owners about the
annexation?
Answer: There will be a series of public hearings, three
before the City Council and one before the Planning
and Zoning Board, where anyone has an opportunity
to express his or her position.
4. Question: Will all the traffic come in on Spaulding Lane? We
cannot get out of Spaulding Lane now.
