Question: As a developer, what does it take to lower the density of this development and provide less lots? Answer: We are looking at what is appropriate for this property from a numbers standpoint. 20. Question: Are you considering purchasing the City -owned property to the east if it went on the market? Answer: We are keeping our options open. 21. Question: When this development improves West Drake Road will the entire street frontage be improved and will we be responsible for the cost of any improvements? Answer: The City has not yet determined when the entire West Drake Road street frontage will be improved. There are essentially two methods used to improve streets. The first is a "special improvements district" that would evaluate and assess the cost of improvements to the adjacent property owners based on their street frontage. It is possible that this type of assessment can be paid over a period of time. The second method is a capital improvements project where the City generates money through a sales tax (or other mechanism) for the initial improvements. Records are kept and property owners could then be assessed a proportionate amount for street improvements when their property redevelops. 22. Question: What is your target date to start this project? Answer: The City review process will probably continue into October, 1993. Streets in the development may be under construction by the first part of 1994. 23. Question: What is your estimated time of completion for this development? Answer: We do not have an answer for the question at this time. 24. Question: Will the portions of the property that are not under construction at any given time be kept clean, maintained, and free of construction debris? Answer: Yes, that is the intent. 25. Question: Will these homes be similar to your homes to the north in Hampshire Court? Answer: Yes, they will be similar. The prices will range from $130,000 to $160,000. 11. Question: Will there be any kind of barrier, buffering, or fencing along the periphery of the development? Answer: There will be various types of fencing, depending on the situation, along the periphery of the development. 12. Comment: We live on one of the properties to the west and are concerned about people using our 3 acres and the amenities we have. 13. Comment: I think this development proposal is way too dense. I would like to see larger lots on this property. 14. Question: What are the plans for the City -owned property to the north and east? Answer: The City presently does not have any plans for that property. 15. Question: With the Fox Creek P.U.D. request there was the awareness that the intersection of West Drake Road and South Taft Hill Road would be affected. What will an additional 74 lots with this development do to that intersection? Answer: That will be determined when the traffic impact analysis is submitted to the City for review. 16. Question: Is a second point of access to the development from West Drake Road necessary unless another point of access is provided elsewhere or the homes are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems? Answer: That is correct. 17. Question: Have you considered any other layout or design of this property that would reflect a more creative appearance for development? Answer: Part of the driving force for the layout of this development is the need to comply with the City's solar orientation ordinance that requires a minimum of 65% of all single family or duplex residential lots to be oriented within 30 degrees of true north -south to allow for maximum solar gain. The criteria calls for front lot lines to be within 30 degrees of true east -west and this drives the street layout. 18. Question: The west access point can't be moved further east to allow for larger, deeper lots along the west side? Answer: There is a minimum separation requirement between two access points from an arterial street (West Drake Road) and the distance as shown is close to the minimum. 3. Question: Is there any requirement for physical separation between your west street access and our private driveway to the west of the proposed development? Answer: There is not a specific separation distance between a drive and a street like there would be between two streets. The required traffic impact analysis will help determine allowable access points and distances between them. 4. Question: The lots along the west side of the development are 6,000 square feet in size. Where do you pick up the lots sizes to 7,200 square feet? Answer: The larger lots begin on the east side of the westerly street in Hampshire Pond. They are generally in the interior portion of the development and along the West Drake Road frontage. 5. Question: Did you give any consideration to the larger lots being on the periphery of the development to provide neighborhood sensitivity and a transition to adjacent properties? Answer: The smaller lots are planned along the periphery of the development to take advantage of the adjacent open space areas, providing relief for the interior lots with additional square footage. 6. Comment: We can support residential development on this property but we are concerned about the smaller lots along our east property line. 7. Question: How will the intersection at West Drake Road and South Taft Hill Road accommodate these additional 74 lots? Answer: The required traffic impact analysis will determine the impacts of this development on the transportation network in the area. 8. Question: There will probably be more traffic that will use the westernmost access point to the development. Will the traffic impact analysis support this? Answer: That will be determined when the analysis is submitted to the City for review. 9. Comment: The traffic flow on West Drake Road is rather fast and, with an added volume of traffic, I am concerned about two access points to this development. 10. Question: What will be the footprint of these homes? Answer: The homes will be 1,600 to 2,000 square feet in size. City of Fort Collins Date: COmmu. Planning Department and Environmental .vices Neighborhood Information Meeting for HAMPSHIRE POND P.U.D. June 21, 1993 Applicant: Richard Stork Storck Development Corp. 4401 McMurray Drive Fort Collins, CO. 80525 City Planner: Steve Olt Location: Fellowship Bible Church The Hampshire Pond P.U.D. request is for 74 single family residential lots on approximately 22 acres located south of West Drake Road and west of South Taft Hill Road. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the potential applicant, with a development request, to all neighbors and potentially affected interests. The following questions and concerns were expressed at this meeting: 1. Question: How can you say that development could be almost twice as dense as this proposal when you already have minimal sized lots? Answer: The residential density of this proposal is between 3 to 4 dwelling units per acre. There is a variety of lots sizes on this proposal, with just a portion of the lots being the minimum size of 6,000 square feet. It would be possible to lay this development out with a density of 5 to 6 dwelling units per acre. 2. Question: Are the lots across the street, in Hampshire Court, larger than the lots proposed here? Answer: The lots on the south side of Hampshire Court are slightly larger, but the lots on the north side of the street are comparable to these lots. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
