Fact Sheet
Development: Wind Trail Townhomes
Contact: John McCoy, Owner Ph. 226-5511
Goal: A well planned townhouse community, taking advantage of the
natural beauty of the site while meeting City development guide-
lines and responding to the changing residential market.
Location: East side of Shields, 1 mile south of Prospect Road
north- Spring Creek Open Space
south -Centre for Advanced Technology
east- Centre for Advanced Technology
southeast- CSU
west- Hill Pond
southwest- Sundering Townhomes
Status: Zoned rp
Area: 6.2 acres with 38 lots
Density: 6.1 units per acre
Product: The units will be 1 and 2 story, with a maximum building height of
35 feet. The units will have 2 car garages, driveways for 2 addi-
tional cars, private patios, and open space areas between the
duplexes. Additional guest parking will be available in a land-
scaped parking area in the cul-de-sac bulb.
Amenities: The project will be within walking distance of Rolland Moore Park,
and have access to the Spring Creek Bike Trail.
Utilities: All utilities are available adjacent to the site.
RESPONSE: Poudre Fire Authority needs two points of access to all
residential areas. Measuring from the point where there is only a
single point of access, development is not allowed beyond 660 feet.
If a developer is willing to construct homes with approved
automatic fire extinguishing systems, then homes may be constructed
beyond the 660 foot limit. Most developers find that such systems
are expensive and not residential in character and are not well
accepted by the buying public.
12. Could construction traffic be routed over a temporary access
road across the C.S.U.R.F. property?
RESPONSE: The developer will ask C.S.U.R.F. for permission for an
access easement for construction traffic.
13. What about the wetlands?
RESPONSE: A wetland consultant is working with the surveyors to
determine the extent of the wetlands. As you know, wetlands are
protected under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Also, the
City's Department of Natural Resources works closely with the
Planning Department to make sure wetland areas remain undisturbed.
The developer does not plan on developing the larger wetland area.
However, there is a smaller area that may be impacted if a local
street is connected from our 35 acre parcel south to the Shields/
Rolland Moore intersection.
14. Would the units be constructed all at once?
RESPONSE: The developer would like to sell all 38 units within a 12
month period. If this does not work, then the project is set up so
it could be phased from west to east building one cul-de-sac at a
time.
Division since these types of units are already being constructed
on approved lots within the Sundering project. The same models and
square footage options would be made available. The siding would
be the same but there may be variations in paint colors.
5. What about the street connections?
RESPONSE: Hill Pond Road and Shire Court would be extended to serve
the site. These streets would be the standard local street which
is 36 feet wide.
6. Are there water and sewer services to the site?
RESPONSE: Yes, water is extended from the west and sewer is
expected to be brought up from the south from the C.S.U.R.F.
property.
7. What are the long range plans for C.S.U.R.F. Tract J parcel?
RESPONSE: As of now, the parcel is designated on the Overall
Development Plan as "Nursing Center, Retirement Center, Elderly
Housing, Health Care, and Multi -Family". The long range plans are
to hold the property for the future needs of Colorado State
University. Since the property is owned free and clear, there is
no pressure for immediate development.
8. What is the status of .extending Centre Avenue from C.A.T to
the Holiday Inn?
RESPONSE: This collector street will be built as development occurs
in the C.A.T.
9. The Transportation Department needs to know that it is
difficult to exit Hill Pond Road onto southbound Shields. The
signal at Shields and Raintree does not stop the traffic enough to
allow us to exit. This signal is only activated if there is cross
traffic on Centre Avenue or Raintree Drive. Otherwise, it remains
on green for Shields traffic.
RESPONSE: The Transportation Department will be notified of this
condition.
10. It will be helpful for the Shields/Rolland Moore intersection
to be constructed and signalized so that we can make left turns
onto Shields and so can Rolland Moore traffic. Without a signal,
its a tough left.exiting the park.
RESPONSE: As development occurs, this intersection will be
constructed and signalized, and the Shields/Shire Court
intersection will be closed.
11.' How far east can development go. before it would be in
violation of the access requirements of the Poudre Fire Authority?
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES
PROJECT: Wind Trail Townhomes
DATE: September 2, 1993
DEVELOPER: Mr. John McCoy
REPRESENTATIVE: Kay Force, Jim Sell Design
PLANNER: Ted Shepard
QUESTIONS, CONCERNSt COMMENTS
The meeting began with a synopsis of the proposed development. The
request is for 38 townhomes on 6.2 acres. This is a density of 6.1
dwelling units per acre. The units will be one and two story with
a maximum building height of 35 feet. The 6.2 acres are part of a
contiguous 35 acre parcel owned by the developer. There are no
immediate development plans on the balance of the site.
1. Please describe the area that is being considered for
acquisition by the Department of Natural Resources.
RESPONSE: The developer and the Department of Natural Resources
have begun negotiations on 16 acres of land on the north side of
the 35 acre parcel, just south of the Spring Creek Trail.
Discussions are very preliminary and the size of the tract may be
modified.
2. What happens if the D.N.R. does not acquire this tract?
RESPONSE: It is likely that the tract would then be included in a
future planned unit development and divided into lots for single
family homes.
3. How does this 6.2 acre site blend in with what is proposed on
the C.S.U.R.F. property to the south? (Tract J of the Centre of
Advanced Technology Overall Development Plan.)
RESPONSE: The developer is proposing a land trade with C.S.U.R.F.
The proposal is that the developer would gain land area along
Shields and C.S.U.R.F. would gain area east of the proposed
townhomes on the developer's 35 acre parcel.
4. Would the townhome units be similar to Sundering Townhomes?
RESPONSE: Yes, the proposed units would be similar. The building
plans have already been approved by the City's Building Inspection
