November 11, 1993
Dear Member:
This letter is to bring your attention to the upcoming
hearing on Nov. 15. 1993. This hearing concerns the proposed
projects commonly Known as Windtrail on Spring Creek PUD -
Overall Development Plan, #66-93A and Windtrai1 Townhomes PUD
- Preliminary, #66-93.
Our neighborhood, which is adjacent to this planned
development, has been assured by several city staff members
that the city is negotiating the purchase of 15 to 16 acres.
of this area for open space aquisition.
In light of the above P&Z hearing, our neighborhood finds
itself confused and concerned. There seem to be multiple
proposals going on, and not any corresponding neighborhood
informational meetings.
We request that the members of the P&Z board establish the
present status of the proposed natural area aquisition on
Spring Creek in the course of this upcoming hearing.

the future signalized intersection of Shields Street and the
Rolland Moore access drive. Upon completion of this latter
connection, the Shields Street/Shire Court intersection would be
closed.
The traffic impacts associated with Windtrail on Spring Creek have
been reviewed by the Transportation Department. The future street
network has been coordinated with the surrounding property owners
and will provide improved internal circulation and access to
perimeter streets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that the request for Windtrail on Spring Creek O.D.P.
is in conformance with the Land Use Policies Plan, an element of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff, therefore,, recommends
approval of Windtrail on Spring Creek Overall- Development Plan,
#66-93A.

November 15, 1993'P & Z Meeting
Page 3
1122: Preferential consideration shall be given to urban
development proposals which are contiguous to existing
development within the city limits or consistent with the
phasing plan for the City's urban growth area.
1175: Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing
densities."
i
1179b: Low density residential uses should locate in areas
which have easy access to major employment';centers."
1179d: Low density residential uses should locate in areas
within walking distance to an existing or planned
neighborhood park and within easy access to a community
park."
4. Neighborhood Compatibility:
A neighborhood information meeting was held on September 21 1993.
The primary concern, with regard to the overall area, is the status
of Tract A and potential for acquisition by the City's Department
of Natural Resources.
The owner/developer and the City of Fort Collins Department of
Natural Resources have been actively negotiating on the public
acquisition of approximately 16 acres of land south of'Spring Creek
and north of the 6.2 acres associated with the Preliminary P.U.D.
Since these negotiations are still ongoing, the land use
designation on this parcel is "Low. Density Residential" with an
alternative use designated as "Resource Protection Area."
Staff finds that the proposed primary and alternative uses as
indicated on the Overall Development Plan are of a: density and
character that reflect the current surrounding uses. Staff,
therefore, finds that the O.D.P. is compatible with the existing
neighborhood.
5. Transportation:
There are two local streets that provide access from Shields
Street. Both Hill Pond Road and Shire Court are available to serve
the site.
Future connections are planned to the east and south. To the east,
Centre Avenue (planned collector) would provide access to Prospect
Road or Drake Road. To the south, access is planned into Tract J
of the Centre for Advanced Technology for an ultimate connection to

E: I-P; Vacant (Tracts E & H, C.A.T. O.D.P.)

this 35 acre tract is all that remains of the Master Plan south of
Spring Creek. In August of 1992, a Preliminary P.U.D., known as
Hill Pond East, was approved for 112 single family homes. This
P.U.D., if not superseded, would expire in August of J995.
