IlerelyOlt Project Planner xc: Kerrie Ashbeck Sherry Albertson -Clark Advance Planning Stormwater Utility Transportation Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Frank Vaught RBD inc. file/Project Planner Q 18. Fencing on Timberline Road should step down before the cul-de- sac, at the front yard setback or thebuilding front edge, to a maximum of 4' in height. The cul-de-sac should not be walled off from Timberline Road. Fencing along the detention areas should follow the standard Stormwater Utility requirement of 4' fence height or a 4' solid fence with a 2' open style at the top. 19. Why is the multi -family component shown as part of Phase 2? Is it to be part of Harmony Crossing at all? 20. The landscaping on Timberline Road should follow the Harmony Corridor Design Standards and Guidelines for species selection and locations. 21. How do you propose to do buffering and noise abatement for the homes along .the Union Pacific Railroad? Fencing and landscaping should be indicated on the Site and Landscape Plans. 22. Required solar orientation ordinance data must be shown on the final subdivision plat and Site Plan. 23. A legal description for the property should be included on the final.Site Plan. 24. The total number of lots should be indicated in the LAND USE BREAKDOWN box on the Site Plan. 25. Some form of traffic study must be submitted with the preliminary P.U.D. plans and should reference the overall development plan study. Please contact the Transportation Division at 221-6608 for their requirements on the level of information needed. 26. The utility plans should show where the 'off -site sanitary sewer and water come from. They should also address the off - site drainage down Timberline Road and the potential need for an off -site easement across the Dusbabek property. 27. The 6.5 acre size and location of the future multi -family parcel does not appear to be adequate for good buffering between the single family residential and community/regional shopping center. The multi -family could continue across the entire length of the north property line and provide direct access to Timberline Road. Also, how many dwelling units are being envisioned for the multi -family component? 7. A bicycle/pedestrian connection is desirable between this property and the Oak Ridge Business Park area. This pathway is likely to occur with a possible future Keenland Drive connection (,south of Harmony Crossing) under/over the railroad tracks froiethe west. It is important for development on this property to plan for future connections. 8. Parkland fees of $779 per dwelling unit will apply to this development and be collected at the time of issuance of building permits. The City's neighborhood park for use by this site will be located next to the Southeast Junior High School, 1/2 mile to the east. The recreational facilities shown on the Site and Landscape Plans (to be constructed and maintained by the developer) should comply with ADA guidelines. 9. No good "collector" type access extends through this neighborhood with the plan as submitted. When Keenland Drive, to the south, goes through from west to east there should be a north/south collector connection from Keenland to the community/regional shopping center to minimize traffic going out to the arterial street system. 10. The phasing as shown must work from a utility and drainage standpoint; i.e., each phase must stand alone if construction is to be phased. Also, full street frontage for all lots in a phase must be constructed. 11. No soils report was submitted with the preliminary P.U.D. A soils report must be submitted with the final. 12. Please include sight distance easements, if necessary, -on lots on the inside of curves and intersections. 13. General Note 3 on the Site Plan indicates a maximum building height of 40' for this development. With all the buildings being single family homes, is this realistic? 14. General Note 4 on the Site Plan*should be corrected to reflect that the existing zoning is Employment Park. 15. The City is recommending that 1 street per lot, per street frontage should be provided by the developer and indicated on the Site and Landscape Plans. 16. Do.all the recreation facilities shown on the Landscape Plan work in the proposed detention area, in terms of how they may impede flows and storage. Who is responsible for the on -going maintenance of the detention areas and will the park/detention area be open to the public? 17. General Note 6 on the Site Plan indicates fencing guidelines to be provided and consistency of fencing on all lots. The guidelines, and details, should be submitted.to the City for review. Community Planning and Environmental Services Planning Department City of Fort Collins October 15, 1993 Michael A. Messina Richland Homes 8791 Wolff Court, Suite 200 Westminster, CO. 88830 Dear Michael, Staff has reviewed your documents for the Harmony Crossing P.U.D., Preliminary that were submitted on September 27, 1993 and would like to offer the following comments: 1. Columbine Cable Television has stated that they would like to see all utility easements labeled with the sizes indicated on the subdivision plat. Also, it is unclear as to what is meant in relation to the easements on Lots 29, 30, and 31. They are requesting side lot easements on Lots 42, 43, 48, and 49 of Phase 1 and Lots 80 and 81 of Phase 2. 2. Public Service Company of Colorado has stated that the final subdivision plat will need to dedicate 9' minimum width utility easements adjoining the street right-of-way lines on both sides of all internal streets. No trees will be allowed to be planted closer than 4' to any natural gas line. 3. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is. attached to this letter. 4. The final subdivision plat should be on the standard 24" x 36" sheet size format. The preliminary subdivision plat measures 30" x 42". 5. Phasing of this development must not produce dead-end streets over 660' in length. Temporary roads for secondary emergency access are permissible in some instances. The Poudre Fire Authority should be consulted with respect to emergency access. Proposed street names must not duplicate existing names in the City or fire district. 6. City Light 8 Power has stated that if this area is developed prior to construction of the east -side of Timberline Road to . Harmony Road the owner may be required to provide off -site easements and pay for a temporary electric line from the southeast corner'of Harmony Road and Timberline.Road. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
