I would like you 4s soon as possible, if necessary, ect Planner xc: Kerrie Ashbeck Sherry Albertson -Clark Advance Planning Stormwater Utility Transportation Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Eldon Ward RBD inc. file/Project Planner have questions or concerns to schedule a meeting with to discuss these comments. ti 12. Parkland fees for all residential dwelling units will apply to this request. The new fee amount of $779 per dwelling unit, currently being reviewed by City Council, will be in effect probably sometime in August, 1993. The fees will be collected at the time of issuance of building permits. 13. What is happening with Phase One of Underhill P.U.D.? It was anticipated that the 30 +/- multi -family units on the west side of Underhill Drive would be included as part of this request. 14. There is concern about the cul-de-sac at the south end of Westbridge Drive and its relationship to the existing single family residence adjacent to the cul. It is possible that the cul-de-sac could be moved further to the north to give more relief or the drive through the Summerhill P.U.D. could become a dedicated public street and eliminate the need for a cul-de- sac. 15. More separation should be provided between the backs of these multi -family buildings and the existing single family residences to the north and south. 16. I do not understand how you have calculated the amount of credit taken for open space in the project. I would also like to discuss the credit taken for parking included in attached structures. 17. The submittal does not seem "together enough" for a combined preliminary and final submittal. The drainage work seems to be a good ways away from final level information. Staff is recommending splitting the preliminary and final review at this time to assure the ability to catch up with sufficient information. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the August 23, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due August 4, 1993 by 12:00 noon. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document. PMT1s, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due August 16, 1993. Final documents (including the signed development agreement, applicable mylars and utility plans) are due August 19, 1993 by 12:00 noon. I 1, 5. Both sides of the 24' wide access drives will have to be signed "No Parking - Fire Lane" and the curbs painted red. 6. There is no way to locate the "well easement" or the off -site "roadway easement" with the information provided on the Subdivision Plat. 7. At least three handicapped sidewalk ramps should be added in locations indicated on the attached Site Plan. Handicapped parking spaces should be provided in the general parking areas. ,b 8. The Engineering Department's comments are as follows: a) A soils report, addressing the street pavement design, is required as part of the project submittal. '9� :jE.`CQnwt&&A b) The concrete trickle pan as shown is not ad ate for the walk. F—IIv i uraM -bloat L�e c) The drainage scheme needs to be better defined on the plans. d) You will need to verify that the box culvert at the New Mercer Canal is up to current City standards. e) Ordinarily the City would not support the parking on Underhill Drive, as shown, having to back out into the travel lane. However, we would like to discuss the possibility of these spaces providing public parking for access to the City's open space property to the south. f) Red -lined utility plans have been forwarded to RBD inc. with additional comments. These red -lined plans should be returned to Engineering when you are done with them. 9. Some public access to the open space should be provided from Underhill Drive. Public parking for several cars is being requested. 10. Sonoran View Estates Subdivision does not adjoin this current request as suggested by the Subdivision Plat. There is approximately 30 multi -family dwelling units approved as Underhill P.U.D. on the west side of Underhill Drive. 11. The Landscape Plan should note who is responsible for maintenance of the common areas, the landscaping in the street rights -of -way, and the landscaping along the New Merecer Canal. Commt Planning Department City of Fort Collins July 22, 1993 Mel Price c/o Cityscape 3555 Stanford Fort Collins, Dear Mel, and Environmental Urban Design, Inc. Road, #105 CO. 80525 ,rvices ( I,`e The City staff has reviewed your request for Summerhill P.U.D., Preliminary & Final that was submitted on July 5, 1993, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. U.S. West states that "approval of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. U.S. West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission". 2. An 8' utility easement is needed on this property along the south and east lines of the existing lot that is shown as recorded in Book 1685, Page 89 in the County Recorder's Office. 3. Public Service Company's comments indicate that the 48' utility, access & drainage easement that loops through Lot 1 (as shown on the Plat) will have to be expanded an additional 5' on the sidewalk side of the private drive and an additional 1' on the opposite side of the private drive so that there is 13' of easement width behind the finished drive/sidewalk surface on both sides of the drive. The paving of the individual drives and parking areas will have to be delayed until after the installation of front lot utility lines is done. Planting of street trees must be coordinated closely with PSC so that no trees are planted within 4' of any gas line. 4. The New Mercer Ditch Company has stated that the landscaping as shown on the Landscape Plan will encroach into the right- of-way that is needed for ditch maintenance. They need a minimum of 15' on the ditch bank. The ditch company will not receive stormwater from this development and it appears that Underhill Drive will drain into the ditch.
