HomeMy WebLinkAboutWINDTRAIL APARTMENTS PUD PRELIMINARY - 66 93D - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTS9. Comments regarding compliance with local and federal handicap accessibility are attached. For further information, please contact Sharon Getz, Plans Examiner, 221-6760. 10. The site plan indicates that only 52% of the single family lots comply with the requirements (65%) of Solar Orientation Ordinance. Please submit a written variance request. 11. Street trees should be added on the north side of Rolland Moore Drive to match the trees on the south side. 12. Please note that."Rolland Moore Drive" may conflict with Moore Lane, an existing street in the same zip code. Please contact Mike Spurgin at the U.S.P.O., Mike Pretz, Poudre Fire Marshal and Police Dispatch to see if a close resemblence to an existing street name will cause problems for these two agencies. Staff hopes that Rolland Moore Drive is distinctive enough to use since it reflects a community facility and contributes to neighborhood identity. 13. The site plan should label Weathertop Lane. 14. A temporary turn -around may be needed at the terminus of Rolland Moore Drive to legally serve Lots 4 and 5, until a street connection is made. 15. It appears there are five screen walls along Shields. Please provide a schematic as to height, material, and other details of these walls. 16. Please label adjacent uses to the south, including the New Mercer Ditch. 17. Please revise the phasing schedule under Project Statistics. This concludes Staff comments at this time.

Sincerely: Ted Shepard Senior Planner xc: Kerrie Ashbeck, Civil Engineer CommL y Planning and Environmental [vices Planning Department May 24,, 1994 Mr. Jim Sell Jim Sell Design 117 East Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Jim: Staff has reviewed the request for Windtrail Apartments Preliminary P.U.D. and offers the following comments: 1. Public Service Company will require that a utility easement adjacent to all public right-of-ways provide a width of 13 feet from the back of the sidewalk. Street trees must be kept four feet from underground gas lines.. 2. Columbine Cablevision requests that back of Lots 1, 2, 3, 41 and 5 be dedicated for utility easement. 3. The portion of Shire Court that is to be vacated must retain a utility easement for the existing underground electrical facilities. 4. The Windtrail Townhomes dictates a two-year historic release rate for all upstream developments. This release rate was dictated by Lidstone and Anderson in proposals that are currently being reviewed by Stormwater Utility. Windtrail Apartments will need to follow the recommendations for detention in this area. 5. An offsite drainage easement is needed for the length of the major drainage swale. 6. The City Forester cautions that the existing row of street trees along Shields is watered by an existing separate irrigation system. These existing trees should be ghosted in on the site and landscape plan. Landscaping for the P.U.D. in this area should be closely coordinated with Tim Buchanan so there are no conflicts. 7. The site plan should label the multi -family buildings with the same numbering system as on the plat. 8. The site plan should indicate the building setbacks for Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. 281 North College Avenue - P.O. Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 - (303) 221-6750
