HomeMy WebLinkAboutWATERGLEN PUD OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 71 93 - CORRESPONDENCE -12. A standard Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and
Erosion Control Plan must be provided at 'the time of
submittal. It may be that the developer's consulting engineer
may have to analyze the conditions located upstream of the
site. Whether or not this analysis is reimbursable to the
developer by the City is dependent on the extent of the
analysis. The developer and consulting engineer are
encouraged to contact both Glen Schlueter and Bob Smith,
Stormwater Utility, 221-6589.
13. A traffic impact analysis will be required. The frontage road
will be the "collector" street for the site. The Northeast
Area Transportation Study identified the possible downsizing
of East Vine from an "arterial" to a "minor arterial". Please
consult the study for details as this may impact the extent of
the right-of-way dedication.
14. The access point onto Vine may have to be separated by a
sufficient distance from any connection coming up from
Mulberry Street. The offset must be such so there are no
turning conflicts.
15. The Street Oversizing Fees for residential uses are $584 per
dwelling unit, and for commercial uses are $14,005 per acre.
It is unclear at this point what the fee would be for the R. V. .
Campground. Please check with Matt Baker, 221-6605.
16. The developer is encouraged to begin discussions with Poudre
R-1 School District since the project may generate a
significant number of school children.
17. The site plan should include definitions of. the types of
housing so the terms are not confusing.
18. Outdoor play areas should be sufficiently lighted for -
children.
19. A neighborhood meeting will be required.
information, please contact Webb Jones, Elco Water District,
493-2044.
6. The Poudre Fire Authority does not forsee a problem in meeting
the access requirements for the rear portions of the
"Pinwheel" lots. Water supply appears to be adequate based on
the 20 inch diameter water main provided by Elco Water
District. Hydrants will have to be spaced accordingly.
7. The P.F.A. continues to have a serious concern with 28 foot
wide local streets, particularly at the densities that are
being proposed. It is the finding of the P.F.A. that these
kinds of densities and lot sizes produce a parking demand on
the local streets'that may hinder the ability to maneuver fire
apparatus. Also, the risk of a local street being blocked by
disabled vehicles is greater on a 28 foot wide street than on
a 36 foot wide street.
The proposal of prohibiting parking on one side of the street.
has not gained' acceptance within the P.F.A. due to the lack of
enforcement by the Police Department. The ability of
management to enforce this restriction by towing is untested.
It is suggested that a full discussion with all the affected
parties take place so that all issues can be explored in
depth.
8. The Parks and Recreation Department has discussed allowing the
developer to construct the City Neighborhood Park using the
Parkland Development Fee revenues generated from within the
project. This concept will be' referred to the Parks and
Recreation Board. The details of the arrangement would have
to be specified in the Development Agreement. The park would
have to be public with off-street parking and paths connecting
to the perimeter of the project for future access from
adjacent development.
9. Presently, the Parkland Development Fee is $779 per dwelling
unit payable at the time of building permit issuance. There
may be a modification to this fee based on housing type and
density subject to action by the City Council.
10. The Department of Natural Resources may be interested in
acquisition of those areasof the Cooper Slough that provide
wildlife habitat values. Please contact Tom Shoemaker,
Director, Department of Natural Resources, 221-6600.
11. The site is located in the Cooper Slough Drainage Basin. At'
this time, there are no Storm Drainage Basin Fees. Please be
aware that a 1981 master study of the basin identifies a
floodplain for the Cooper Slough in addition to a
recommendation for storage of 205 acre feet of water. The
Study also specifies a 4' x 10' box culvert under Vine Drive
that must convey 300 c.f.s.

MEETING DATE: September 7, 1993
ITEM: Vine East - Mixed Use Affordable Housing Community
APPLICANT: Mrs. Libby Glass, W.W. Reynolds Company c/o Mr.
Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3555 Stanford
Road, Suite 105, Fort Collins, CO. 80525.
LAND USE DATA:
Site consists of 168 acres at the northwest corner of I-25 and East
Vine Drive. Request includes about 300 single family and townhome
dwelling units divided between conventional, manufactured, and
mobile housing. The project is anchored by a "Village Center"
consisting of manager's office, services, and convenience store.
other uses include mini -storage, commercial/industrial area,
recreational center, R.V. campground, maintenance and vehicle
storage area and neighborhood park.
COMMENTS:
1. The site will be supplied by the City of Fort Collins Light
and Power Department which has existing facilities along Vine
Drive. Standard development charges will apply. The request
for 28 foot wide local streets must be coordinated with the
Public Service Department which also installs its system in
the front yard utility easement. The issue for Light and
Power is that there is sufficient area for front yard
installation with adequate separation from other utilities,
sidewalk, and street trees.
2. Easements will have to be granted to provide secondary
electrical service to the rear portions of the "pinwheel"
lots..
3. If the streets are private, then the developer is responsible
for street lighting.
4. For further information on electrical issues, please contact
Alan Rutz, Light and Power Department, 221-6700.
5. The water will be provided by the Elco Water District. The
district has a 20 inch diameter water line at the northeast
corner of the site that can serve the 168 acres. For further
