Mr. Olt reflected that the statement of Mr. Walker, being "the whole purpose of the study is the
location of the access point" is true in part. The way it reads was that the area -wide
transportation study was not done just to determine the access point. That was only a portion
of it.
Motion to approve carried 6-1 with
INDIAN HILLS VILLAGE PUD - PRELIMINARY - Case #81-
Ms. Whetstone gave the staff report. [Staff conditions related to: buffer landscaping on the east,
west, and south boundaries; drainage; replacement program for trees throughout the whole site;
on -street parking site widths. Staff recommended approval of this innovative design.]
John Prouty - President of Lagunitas Company, area resident for 7 years and in the construction
business for 20 years, gave a presentation of the development proposal. He explained the
cottage concept, street layout, and streetscape with parking, and other site plan elements.
(1) The cottage concept started about 50 years ago. It is characterized by parking at the rear
and used by alleys. It has received nation-wide interest because of the pedestrian nature,
neighborhood scale and re -definition of rear access. He cited locations in Seattle, Washington
where this concept has been used lately. The layout and scale of streets is more attractive
because of the elimination of garages facing the street. Street trees, short lawn, gables and
front porches contribute to the pedestrian scale. Space and windows are used to give a more
open space feeling. He had good and poor examples of developments using this concept.
(2) The 43 foot right -of --way, with parking offsets to the right and left, provide parking in front
of every unit. There is also on -site parking at the rear for two cars. Functionally, the street
will look much smaller in scale because of the landscape offsets. In the Board's packet there
is a variance on street standards, reducing parking space from 8-foot to 7-foot parking spaces.
He outlined some technical aspects of the variance request and showed slides examples of
parking. Sidewalks are on both sides of the project street. Offsets for the parking are concrete,
with a rolled curb.
(3) He reviewed the drainage plan and discussed flow lines. There is a 100-year flood line over
one corner of the property. Setbacks to existing houses are of concern at three points, and range
from 37 to 48 feet. The setbacks and landscape buffer were positively placed on site with the
existing houses in mind.
(4) There are 11 significant living trees on the site, 5-6 will be saved. The consensus of

Chair Clements stated the Board is very frustrated mainly because there is no one from the
Transportation Division, although Mike Herzig was asked to represent the traffic issues. He
doesn't have all the answers the Board needs for this particular project.
Member Strom said, with the permission of the second, he would withdraw the motion.
He further stated that the concern about the traffic study is overstated. He was frustrated as
information has come forth, his conclusion has changed. It seems regardless of what the traffic
study says, if the only issue the Board is concerned about is where the driveway location is, it
is better now than at Monte Carlo. This seems to be the key question in the context of this
project and the traffic issues; consequently, regardless of what the traffic study might show, he
would be better able to say this is a better location, anyway. He desired to make a second
motion without the traffic study condition.
Member Winfree seconded.
Member Winfree asked Mr. Delich why the traffic study was not submitted.
Mr. Delich said it was submitted to the Planning Department.
Mr. Olt said it was reviewed by Transportation all along, but the traffic study is not normally
included in the Board's packets.
Member Winfree asked if the comprehensive traffic analysis by the Transportation Division was
their recommendation.
Mr. Olt said yes.
Member Winfree further asked if the location of the access onto Wheaton from the project site
would not be in the proper location to use a left turn signal at Wheaton/Harmony.
Mr. Delich said it may not, but it would need to be viewed in light of the King Soopers site.
Member Strom moved that the project be approved.
Member Walker seconded the motion.
Member Walker made comment on the condition of the staff report, saying the whole purpose
of the comprehensive traffic study was to decide where the access point should be. He believed
that where the access has been proposed is appropriate from a planning perspective. The details
can be worked through for other traffic patterns and flows.

Member Strom specifically asked Mr. Delich if he evaluated a commercial use on this site?
Mr. Delich replied he used the Harmony Road Access plan which included commercial
development on the site in 1988. It was his understanding that the number then was even higher
than the proposed development.
Member Strom asked the impact on McMurray/Harmony access?
Mr. Delich said that is the key. In conjunction with this particular development, I did not
evaluate that intersection because the amount of traffic generated from the development would
probably be less than 3 percent at that intersection and wasn't necessary to evaluate it.
Member Strom pointed out that it was the only way to proceed east on Harmony out of this site.
Mr. Delich replied that it is most likely but not the only and, again, stated that the impact of the
development was so small, that it in his judgment and transportation at the city, the evaluation
of the intersections agreed upon were made. Prior to all of this information regarding the King
Soopers site, the McMurray intersection with Harmony was not deemed necessary to evaluate
at this time.
Member Strom asked Mr. Olt asked how King Soopers differed on that site based on the ODP
which has always been defined as neighborhood/commercial.
Mr. Olt stated that the approved neighborhood shopping center in 1984, took into consideration
the standard components of a neighborhood/ supermarket based shopping center with smaller
auxiliary uses possibly, some business and office uses, etc. He was unaware of any uses other
than the King Soopers Market large store proposal. More information needs to be available to
evaluate it.
Member Cottier asked Mr. Olt if a traffic study after the King Soopers site development is
adequate for the scope of the project.
Mr. Olt said he didn't think the Transportation Division would be able to admit that, stating that
Mr. Ensdorff has stated a comprehensive traffic impact study is needed for that area, which
includes the area from Lemay to McMurray along Harmony and its functioning.
Member Strom asked how they could have possibly said that to Mr. Delich, and why wouldn't
he have done that study if that was what he was told to do.
Mr. Olt said he couldn't answer that question.

Member Fontane said she supports the project because of its quality the multi -family densities,
and the developer's flexibility of the traffic access point. She hoped the transportation study
doesn't delay the project.
Mr. Eckman asked Member Strom for a point of clarification to make sure all board members
understand that the condition is such that if, at the time of final, the traffic analysis still shows
there is a problem with the layout, that the layout has to be adjusted in order to address any
traffic problems. Then there is no vested right at the time of preliminary to the layout that is
before the Board presently. Is that a fair statement?
Member Strom said yes.
Mr. Eckman said the Land Development Guidance System says that layout and densities are
established at preliminaries and they can't be changed at final. The Board can make a
conditional approval, to hold back that layout question as it specifically relates to traffic, if the
Board desires. Was that the intent to layout of the condition to the motion. Because under the
LDGS the layout is usually set at Preliminary, the Board needs to consider the question for this
particular project to reserve the right to change layout if that is the Board's intention.
Member Strom said we have to deal with the ramifications of the traffic study at the time the
information is available.
Chair Clements said if this project is requested to do a comprehensive impact analysis, what will
the King Soopers people have to do ... the same analysis?
Mr. Olt said there is really only one that is needed to be done.
Chair Clements asked why this project will have to take on the responsibility? The real impact
of traffic will be generated from the King Soopers project and she thought the request was
backwards and felt it wasn't the developer's responsibility.
Member Strom said ordinarily he would say that comment was correct but in this case, it was
his opinion that a traffic analysis could not be done without considering the land use next to it.
Chair Clements asked if Mr. Delich had taken this impact into account.
Mr. Delich clarified that he did not specifically include the King Soopers development because
it was not available when the study was conducted, but what he included in the analysis were
increases in background traffic commensurate with the overall Golden Meadows and other
increases in the area. Therefore, the traffic increases on Harmony Road, on Lemay, and on
Wheaton were on the order of the whole development of the area. The increases shown did
include order magnitude of those developments.

Member Strom then asked how long that was going to take?
Mr. Olt said that will vary. However, the Matterhorn PUD South College Access was a matter
of months. It must go to the Department of Transportation in Greeley, then to Denver. It is
difficult to predict their review time and approval.
Member Strom said he was not willing to make the developer wait a matter of months, but at
least have the Colorado Department of Transportation have some sense of what their reaction
is to the plan before the final is reviewed.
Mr. Olt said that is the staff recommendation, and the City will follow through on this.
Member Strom was frustrated that the Transportation staff person was not present at this meeting
since this is the major issue of the project.
Member Winfree asked for clarification of Member Strom's motion as it is written?
Member Strom said the minor amendment to the condition as written, not that it be
formally approved by the Colorado State Transportation Department, but that there be a
preliminary reading after their review. The developer then can proceed with work on the
final application.
Member Winfree seconded the motion.
Mr. Eckman stated that before this project is approved on final the Board will have an
opportunity to look at traffic criteria to see if you still believe criteria has been met and if they
have not because of the traffic impact analysis, at that time the project can be rejected. It should
be made clear that the traffic impact analysis has nothing to do with layout and densities. The
Board may be able to adjust densities because of traffic impact findings. Sometimes these
studies overlap especially with regard to layout.
Member Cottier said she supported the motion but lost sight of the qualities of the project. It
is appropriate in its location with higher densities. Her personal feeling regarding the traffic is
that the existing street network is adequate to handle the traffic of this proposed project. She
had reservations of tying the commercial use to what this site should be allowed to do. She
agreed the traffic study should factor in the numbers on the potential commercial development
to the east and supported the idea of a more detailed traffic study.
Member Walker commended the applicant for responding to the neighborhood concerns and
desires and has done a fine job modifying plans. The access onto Wheaton was in response to
the neighborhood concerns. The street network can manage the traffic.

Chair Clements added that the staff recommendation of "comprehensive impact analysis" has left
many questions unanswered. She found it frustrating that Mr. Ensdorff of the Transportation
Division was present at the work session and did not have answers and is now not present when
being asked to approve the preliminary.
Member Winfree commented that she agreed with comments made. We cannot consider this
project with only a site specific traffic study and ignore the surrounding areas and total impacts.
Member Strom moved approval of the preliminary P.U.D. considering the criteria, and
reserve the right at the final to disapprove the project. If the traffic study doesn't give the
necessary back-up for the traffic safety criteria. This proposal is weak in substantiating
this criteria and the rest of the proposal is a very fine project. It has excellent site design,
layout, setbacks. The traffic generation from this site cannot be the only consideration for
impact.
Member Collier asked for clarification. Is the traffic impact study for a broad scope or just
factors neighborhood development on the site to the east?
Member Strom said he wasn't sure what was meant by a much broader traffic impact study.
It seems that four major intersections need to be looked at in order to evaluate the site. At a
minimum, the Wheaton/Lemay, Lemay/Harmony, Wheaton/Harmony and McMurray/Harmony
intersections.
Chair Clements asked if Member Strom, in his motion, included the condition of the staff report
as stated or revision of the condition.
Mr. Olt stated that at a work session on Friday, minor changes have been made and there is
revised condition before the Board, page 8 and 9 that replaces the original pages in the staff
report. He explained how it differs by pointing out "the analysis must assume for purposes
of its calculations, the existing proposed land uses in the area, their impacts rather than
their effects on the transportation network." He said where the sentence beginning with
"Also" should read "This area -wide transportation study will be used to determine whether
the Stonebridge access point...." This is part of the overall comprehensive traffic impact
analysis.
Member Strom said the new wording is fine. He needed clarification as to what the interaction
is with the Colorado Department of Transportation and how that impacts traffic studies and,
ultimately, the project.
Mr. Olt stated the Colorado Department of Transportation will have to review the traffic study
if it were to propose an amendment to the Harmony Corridor Access Control Plan. For
example, if there were a stop light proposed, or additional access points onto Harmony Road,
then the Department would have to review and approve that amendment to the plan.

Mr. Olt said "there is not". The neighborhood information minutes were delivered to the Board
this evening. There has not been response since the neighborhood meeting. 19 people out of
300 residents notified attended. The initial neighborhood meeting concluded with acceptance
of this project. There have been a few people come in and express a general concern about the
area, but generally support of the project, design and accepted as a neighbor to the community.
There is follow-up neighborhood meeting January 26 concerning this project.
Member Winfree referred to the ODP and the site that was approved having a commercial area.
Was there no traffic study done in relation to the ODP approval?
Mr. Olt said the ODP was approved on June 27, 1984 that included 209,000 square feet of
commercial uses on Phase IV of the neighborhood shopping site and 590 multi -family dwelling
units in the surrounding area. He assumed there was one done but he has not seen it. Normally
there is one done for the Planning and Zoning Board to approve an Overall Development Plan
at that time.
Member Klataske questioned the overall height of the buildings, with the minutes indicating 26
feet and the staff report 35 feet.
Mr. Olt said he was unaware of the minutes stating this. Perhaps the end sections are being
referred to, being ones that would be facing the residential neighborhoods. There is now an
indication that the three story will be a maximum of 33 feet.
Member Strom asked if part of the traffic study included Wheaton and Lemay and Harmony
intersections?
Mr. Olt said that there was not a Transportation representative at the meeting, so that is an
assumption.
Mr. Delich said the three intersections that were examined in the study were Wheaton/Harmony,
Wheaton/Lemay and Harmony/Lemay. At the present time, the only signal is at Harmony and
Lemay. The larger context of the traffic report shows there would be a rather insignificant
impact of this development on the McMurray intersection because of its proximity. In the short-
range future, without the development of the King Soopers shopping center, a signal is not
warranted at Wheaton and Lemay. The need for the signal would be solely upon the
development of the shopping center, if it occurred.
Member Strom commented that the traffic study that was conducted left out a major portion of
background traffic impact. He could not understand how this project could not include the
himpacts of the shopping center. He concluded that a traffic study needs to be conducted before
the project is finalized.

Ms. Linda Ripley, Ripley Associates, said what has changed is that the Golden Meadows Master
Plan has been built out and people are living there and are being vocal about the additional
traffic on Monte Carlo and the school are factors that weren't always in place. The Harmony
Road Access Plan should still be valid. She stated the plan is still viable.
CITIZEN INPUT
Tim Dolan from the Golden Meadows Homeowner's Association - At the meeting last Thursday
regarding the Kings Soopers project, Rick Ensdorff made the statement that he would do a traffic
study in conjunction with these two projects. The association recognizes that they are separate
projects for the most part and accepts the apartment project. There is concern about the traffic
and traffic patterns. The association would like this study to take place. The project is being
contested because the overall effect of its development in their neighborhood.
Bob Penny - 4401 San Remos - His concern was the children from the neighborhood walking
down Wheaton to the school. He did not agree that the 1,200 commuter trips generated from
the apartment complex were at different times from the school hours. The King Soopers project
will increase car trips by 9,000. It is very important that this project be considered with the
King Soopers project because of neighborhood concern. Over 300 people were at the
neighborhood meeting and desire that the two projects be considered together.
CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED
Chair Clements stated the traffic study and the proposed King Soopers development are
generating the concern. She asked Mr. Olt where the potential project stood.
Mr. Olt said to date the proposed King Soopers project has been to conceptual review about a
month ago, the neighborhood information meeting has been held January 20, and was not sure
of the timing for formal submittal of their project. Ted Shepard is the project planner in the
City offices for the King Soopers project.
Chair Clements said there are many unknowns.
Member Strom stated he was surprised that the traffic study was not in the packets.
Mr. Olt stated he will refer the questions to Matt Delich who prepared the study. Also, it is
rare that the report is included.
Member Cottier asked in regard to neighborhood compatibility why the neighborhood meetings
notes were not included in the packet, but Mr. Youngee's letter summarized the neighborhood
issues were setbacks, building scale, adequate landscaping, and location of the entrance. Mr.
Dolan said the neighborhood generally supported this project. Is there any negative issue outside
the traffic issue related to King Soopers?
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting

Mr. Delich said he did not, because basically there was really nothing intended on the site at the
time he did the study. It has always been commercial. He had made contact with the people
developing the site and could not get any definitive answers regarding their proposal. Since
then, more has developed, specifically the King Soopers site. This site will generate 9,000 daily
trip ends at the site. This project will generate 1,000-1,200 daily trip ends, resulting in 10
percent of the new traffic.
Member Strom asked if was typical to leave out a site even if it is undeveloped.
Mr. Delich said that it was not. The problem was there was no information at the time of the
analysis, so he proceeded with the consent of staff, with the Harmony Road access in place.
Since the King Soopers site planning is active, Mr. Ensdorff thought there needed to be some
adjustments to the Harmony Road access plan. That opens other issues.
Member Strom asked for input in terms of range of possibilities. What is the difference from
the traffic standpoint if Wheaton is signalized rather than just operating with the existing signal
at McMurray?
Mr. Delich said all the traffic to the east, with the shopping site, will put a burden on the
McMurray signal, necessitating double -turn lanes in the southbound direction. The Wheaton
signal would take some burden off.
Member Strom concluded that existing Harmony access plan is based, to a fair degree, to move
traffic on Harmony Road.
Mr. Delich said there is involvement of a charge of the State of Colorado to move traffic on
Harmony. He discussed technical details of State involvement and City.
Member Strom asked how much difference is it going to make on Harmony Road with
signalization.
Mr. Delich stated one-half mile increments along the corridor in the future. There were several
areas that will be signalized. There would be extra lanes and a lowering of the speed zones.
Member Fontane asked if left turn lights at Wheaton and Lemay were feasible (and a possible
cul-de-sac). Why is there concern about access on Harmony from Wheaton. Theoretically, the
two developments were considered in these plans.
Mr. Delich indicated that the plans did consider this. What is happening now is a sensitivity to
the neighbors to the north and try to bring the traffic in and out of the commercial portion of
the Golden Meadows area, rather than filtering through the neighborhood.
Member Cottier directed her question to staff for answer.
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting
January 24, 1994 Minutes

Mr. Youngee further stated that plans, whether signalized or not, have been researched for the
Wheaton/Harmony intersection. However, if the proposed location of the access needs to be
moved, they are willing to work that out with staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. The
plan is clearly considering use of the access of the shopping center with the alignment of the two
driveways. The owners are prepared to build this year and would not want the project delayed.
Member Walker asked if the location of the access would be the best guess to provide alignment
with any future development across the road to the east.
Mr. Youngee said he will work with the developers toward an agreement and that he attended
the neighborhood meeting of January 27, 1994, where nearly 300 people attended to voice
concerns. No accesses would be granted to Monte Carlo, one access to Wheaton Dr. one to the
east, and none to the Harmony. The developer stated they were flexible in the location of the
access road.
Member Strom asked if a traffic study had been conducted.
Mr. Matt Delich stated he conducted a traffic study for this site. What the City is asking for
now is a comprehensive impact analysis for the entire area extending to S. Lemay Ave., E.
Harmony Road, McMurray Road to the east, Golden Meadows residential area to the north.
He stated that this development is not the problem and would also invite a traffic signal there,
if necessary. Wheaton Drive has always been designed as a collector street, with no parking
allowed.
Member Walker understood that this project is to be considered without plans for the shopping
center and has the City approved this access point to Wheaton.
Mr. Youngee replied yes. He supposed in Mr. Ensdorff's mind will it then work if there is a
traffic signal. The designers of this project, respecting neighborhood input, made its location
south of Monte Carlo.
Mr. Delich conducted the traffic study for this project and the distance between intersections
being discussed is 250 feet. The issue considers the Harmony access without the signal. In the
traffic study, it shows there would be no left turn at that point to the east. The logical route is
through McMurray. If there is a signal proposed, the overlapping left turn lanes would have
to be redesigned.
Member Walker if the signals are placed, where would the access be moved to?
Mr. Delich said it would have to be in compliance with the larger traffic study made.
Member Strom asked when the traffic study was made, did you use some kind of traffic
generation off the Phase IV site.

with some changes to the staff recommendation. There was a neighborhood meeting prior to
submission of any proposal. The intent to build a multi -family project has always been up front
to the neighborhood to build out the Courtney Park to the west. The proposed plan has 168-
units, 16-units to the acre, and meets the LDGS, with 110% for increased density. The proposal
is within the general guidelines of the PUD master plan because there had originally been 154
units planned to the north of the retail site, which has been was built as 54 single-family sites.
The current master plan states 20 to 30 units less than had originally been planned. The three
issues of the neighborhood were:
Traffic. The original PUD had two access points. The neighbors preference was
one access from the site. They requested that it not be aligned with Monte Carlo.
There was a request for the green space and a one-story clubhouse close to the
intersection to give maximum setbacks, open space, and minimal impact of multi-
family units.
2. Building Mass. There were changes in the buildings as they front along
Wheaton, to include smaller buildings along the border of the site. There was a
request for internal parking and landscaping external to the site. All buildings
have no more than two stories adjacent to the street, with three stories to the
center of the project. The technical report refines the height of the buildings to
be 33 feet in height.
3. Landscaping. The merit of the plan is 50 percent of the site is in green space.
This is achieved by 50 garage units being within the buildings, at the ends of
them or at the center of the buildings. They are residential in character, with
slopped roofs, stone and wood sidings to be compatible with the neighborhood.
Off -site landscaping includes 7 existing shade trees and the neighborhood was
asked if it would be of assistance to do off -site landscaping and berming. They
agreed, and staff has supported it as part of the project.
Mr. Youngee stated a concern from the standpoint of density, which leads to traffic. The
project is in harmony with the Master Plan of the overall PUD in Phases I, II, and III. He
believed the general purpose of a PUD is to have a "give and take" of project amenities versus
merit to the neighborhood. He said their changes in the proposal have merit and justifies the
PUD. The traffic issue seems to be the obstacle remaining. He felt it unfair that this issue
would hold up the project, because his project is a "stand alone project" with an already master
PUD. They are simply building out the east half of a project which had already been approved
and this request should not be held back because of a proposed shopping center. The location
of the driveway to the south of Monte Carlo mitigates the impact the traffic may have on the
residential neighborhood. Further, the pedestrian traffic for the school children that are coming
to the school stays to the north side of the street. A peak period for auto traffic, from 7:00 to
8:00 a.m. leaving the site and from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. returning to the site, is at different times
than school hours.

Mr. Olt gave the staff report, with slides, and conditions to the Board.
Member Walker had a question regarding the location of the access drive. What criteria is used
to determine the location? His concern stemmed from the school children and traffic flows in
the area.
Mr. Olt said that Transportation had indicated there are two points of access being considered:
Mid -point between Monte Carlo and Harmony Road. Another consideration is directly across
from the intersection of Monte Carlo. The shopping center to the east needs to be considered.
At this time, the development plans are not far enough along to know where its access will
occur. Distance from Harmony Road is a factor, potential turn lanes must be considered,
potential street light at Harmony Road and Wheaton Drive. With the two uses, multi -family and
shopping center, it is probable that a stop light would be considered. As it looks presently, the
traffic flow would most likely move from the multi -family area to Wheaton to Monte Carlo to
McMurray for access eastbound on Harmony.
Member Walker said it is unclear about the potential for the light at Wheaton and Harmony.
Member Fontane asked about the time frame for the impact analysis of traffic.
Mr. Olt said with the shopping center still in the early planning phases, it is difficult to
determine what the time frame would be for that impact study.
Member Fontane said it was difficult to envision how traffic patterns would develop.
Mr. Olt stated under the circumstances, the Transportation Department believes these two
projects should be viewed together regarding traffic impacts.
Chair Clements said she is trying to recall when deciding access on one site was dependant upon
the location of another site access. It somewhat concerns her why the Transportation Division
cannot make a decision.
Mr. Olt commented said he was not prepared to speak for the Transportation Division at this
time in terms of alienating this project from the contextual view in the area, based on the
knowledge today that the shopping center will occur in the near future.
Chair Clements had some serious concerns regarding this.
