Site distance and safety problems at the intersection would have to be mitigated, possibly with off -site improvements. 15. A Traffic Study will be required as part of the submittal documents. The Study should focus on access issues (location, safety...) rather than on capacity issues. 16. A standard engineering submittal would be required. 17. Contact Matt Baker, at 221-6605, to find out whether there is payback due as a result of improvements to Shields Street. 18. Street oversizing fees are $584.00 per unit and are collected at the time of building permit issuance. 19. Coordinate with Tim Buchanan with the City Forestry Department, 221-6660, if you plan to remove any existing trees. All existing trees should be shown on the site plan. 20. Attached are examples of parking in a cul-de-sac which have been successfully used by other developments in Fort Collins. 21. Fencing guidelines should be shown on the site or landscape plan. 22. Solar orientation applies to single family and duplex lots. A minimum of 65% of these lots must meet the definition of a solar oriented lot. 23. Staff advises a neighborhood meeting be held .for this project prior to submittal. I will prepare a notification area map and include it with these comments. 5. There are stormwater detention requirements in this basin. 6. Standard drainage and grading plans, erosion control plans, and a drainage report will need to be submitted with your plans. 7. Poudre Fire Authority has concerns about water supply and fire access. A fire hydrant will need to be installed at the end of the cul-de-sac, at the developers expense. Depending on where the closest existing hydrant is located on Shields Street, a second hydrant may be required near the entrance to this property. The fire access requirement, that all parts of a building be within 150' of an approved access or drive with an appropriate turning radius, would have to be met. Any fences between buildings would have to have gates to allow access to the rear yards. 8. The Federal Fair Housing Act may apply to these proposed units. Please contact Sharon Getz at Building Inspection, 221-6760, for more information. 9. The property is zoned R-P, Planned Residential, and therefore a Planned Unit Development would be required for this type of use. An All Development Chart and a Residential Density Chart will be necessary as part of the submittal. The requirement that each lot have 20' of frontage on a public street can not be varied with a PUD. 10. Parkland fees are $625.00 per acre, collected at the time of building permit issuance. 11. Off -site drainage easements would be necessary for any stormwater flows crossing City Park property to Spring Creek. There are current stormwater problems in Rolland Moore Park which would indicate that flows should be piped. 12. Parks and Recreation asks that you consider a pedestrian circulation system to facilitate the movement of pedestrians from this site to the Park. There is an existing foot bridge over the Larimer County #2 Ditch to the west of this property. This development should provide a crossing of the New Mercer Ditch and a pedestrian path or connection to the existing bridge, or coordinate with the Senior Center project, which will likely be providing a crossing of New Mercer Ditch as well. 13. The proposed access to Shields Street is a potential problem. Full turning movements at the proposed location will be difficult. There are also site distance concerns at this location. There will be a signal at Raintree Drive, which would provide a safer and more efficient intersection with Shields. It would be advisable to negotiate with the property to the south and the Senior Center project to see if you could acquire access (or some form of a joint access agreement) to Raintree Drive to the south for this development. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: September 28, 1992 ITEM: Raintree Townhouses APPLICANT: Larry Trampe Architectural Resource Group 2120 S. College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80525 John McCoy Moore Realty Inc. 3665 JFK Parkway Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for 12 townhouse units on 4 acres located south of Rolland Moore Park and north of the Raintree shopping center. The property is zoned R-P, Planned Residential. COMMENTS: 1. There are existing Light and Power conduits stubbed into this site. Normal Light and Power Development charges will apply. A total of 15' (8' behind the walk in the R.O.W) is needed for utility easements. 2. There is an existing 30" water main located on the east side of Shields Street which can be used for this site. Sewer service for this site may be a problem. There is an existing main at the west end of the Senior Center property. You will have to negotiate an easement across that property for the sewer line. Typically sewer lines need to be place under a paved surface. There is also a sewer main on the east side of Shields, by the Conoco Station at the Centre for Advanced Technology. 3. The property is in the Spring Creek Basin. Stormwater development fees are $1,691.00 per acre. Check to see whether this property was included in the master planning efforts for the Raintree PUD. You should examine the Raintree PUD stormwater documents to see if it is possible to tie into the master planned facilities. 4. Contact the two ditch companies to see whether you can discharge stormwater directly into the ditches. You may be able to negotiate an arrangement with them, depending on the volumes involved. The other alternative would be to detain on site and pipe flows under the ditches to an outfall at Spring Creek. Staff advises you to work with the Senior Center project engineers in designing the stormwater system.
