Home My WebLink AboutHAMPSHIRE POND PUD FINAL SECOND P AND Z BOARD HEARING - 44 93A - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTSthe homes lined up along the western boundary. Please look at the row of houses that line Drake Road immediately north of my driveway. Mr. Storck has stated that this is the same type of house to be built in Hampshire Pond. The wood fence minus the brick columns would be the same. The sheds rising above the fence would also be part of the landscape. The houses however would be about fifty feet closer to the fence. These lots are fifty feet deeper than those proposed for Hampshire Pond. The lots backing on Drake vary from 150 to 178 feet in depth. The lots on the western boundary of Hampshire Pond vary from 100 to 120 feet in depth. Please consider the impact of dense de- velopment of this nature on the three acre and eleven acre single family homes adjacent to the western boundary. If after this you feel this plan could be better, if you feel it could fit better with the surrounding area, if the plan still seems unimaginative to you, perhaps you should not discount these intuitive feelings and ask for something better for this piece of land. Please make your decision based on what could be and not out of a sense of resignation that this is about as much as you can expect from this plan. Sincerely, V `� ••v I � �1�N� Larry D. Kieft • • October 19, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board City of Fort Collins 281 North College Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Members of Planning and Zoning Board: Larry D. Kieft 2333 West Drake Fort Collins, CO 80526 I am writing to you concerning the Hampshire Pond PUD which will be before you again October 25, 1993. The preliminary hearing on this PUD was held on August 30, 1993. It came before you again on September 27, 1993, and it was denied final approval at that time and comes before you again at this time. I have reviewed the proposed site plan by way of a copy of the plan received from the city planning office. In reviewing the "new" site plan I noted one difference from the proposed site plan of September 27, 1993. The change added was a small movement east of Featherstar Way so that Lots 4 - 10 of Block 1 achieve 120 foot depth. No additional width was added to any lots. Only lots 2 and 3 of Block 1 are wider than 60 feet. The landscape buffer remains the same with only lots 1 - 3 of Block 1 having a "green buffer" from the property to the west. Perhaps this was all you meant to accomplish when you requested that the de- veloper look at reconfiguring the site plan. I hope that you willnot simply accept this as proposed out of a sense of resignation that it's the best that can be done with this plan. I hope that you will look at the overall devel- opment of a flat, square piece of land and ask that something more creative be proposed. As volunteers serving our community I appreciate the time you devote to the Planning and Zoning Board, but I would ask that you take a few more minutes to prepare before the meeting of October 25, 1993. Take these few minutes and drive to the site. Please turn into our drive and sense the impact of this site plan on the surrounding properties.

The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decision" of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; however, in the event that a dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final decision" shall be counted from the date of the Board's decision resolving such dispute. 0 0 Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A October 25, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 6 Lots 24 & 25, Block 3, that provide connections from local streets to the bicycle/pedestrian trail. RECOMMENDATION: This request is in substantial conformance with the approved Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Preliminary and meets the applicable All Development Criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. Staff considers this request to be compatible with surrounding land uses in the area. The two conditions of approval at preliminary, requiring provisions for a future street access into the City -owned property to the north and east and additional buffering between this development and the property to the west, are considered to have been met. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A with the following condition: 1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D. plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the second monthly meeting (December 13, 1993) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding or second succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made.) If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A October 25, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 5 Signage: One project identification sign is being proposed and will be located on the west side of the main entry into the development at the intersection of West Drake Road and Hampshire Road. The signage will be individual letters mounted on the 6' high solid wood fence, centered between 2 stone columns, along a rear lot line. Solar Orientation Ordinance: All 73 lots in this development are subject to the City's Solar Orientation Ordinance. A total of 55 lots comply with the requirements of the ordinance, equalling 75%, and this exceeds the minimum 65% compliance requirement. 4. Transportation: This development will be accessed from West Drake Road by two local public streets that will connect to a local public street network internally. There is a street connection being provided, at the southwest corner, for future access into the property to the west when development should occur. Also, a street connection for future access into the City -owned property to the north and east is being provided on this development. This meets and satisfies the intent of the condition placed on the Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Preliminary that stated that "the developer of Hampshire Pond is required to provide adequate street right-of-way and a publicly dedicated temporary turnaround on this property and/or the City -owned property to the north and east (and south of West Drake Road) of Hampshire Pond prior to a final development request going before the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision". 5. Storm Drainage: This property is 22.79 acres in size, overall. However, the City Stormwater Utility will be purchasing a 4.87 acre parcel of land located on the southeast portion of the property. This land acquisition becomes part of the City's regional detention facility planned for this area. 6. Parks & Recreation: A 30' wide utility and public access easement is being dedicated on -site along the entire south property line to provide for the City bicycle/pedestrian trail that is planned for and currently under construction. The trail meanders through the easement providing a separation of 3' to 8' between the trail and the rear lot lines. There are two access easements, between Lots 14 & 15 and 0 • Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A October 25, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 4 for the installation of a 2" caliper shade tree per street frontage. Fencing: The developer will be responsible for perimeter fencing as shown on the Site Plan. A 6' high wood privacy fence will be provided along the rear of the lots abutting the West Drake Road streetscape, the entire west property line (from the south edge of the West Drake Road streetscape to the north line of the public access easement), and along the east property line from the south edge of the West Drake Road streetscape to the north line of the regional detention area (Tract 'H'). A 4' high three -rail fence will be provided along the rear of the lots adjacent to the public access easement (housing the City trail) and along the portion of the east property line adjacent to the regional detention area. Side lot line privacy fences will transition to a 4' height where they meet the three - rail fences on lots abutting the public access (trail) easement and regional detention pond. Buffering: The Planning and Zoning Board placed a condition on the approval of the Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Preliminary stating that "more buffering be provided to the west because this development is the more intensive use", meaning that there were concerns about the type and amount of buffering between the urban -sized lots in this development and the large acreage properties to the west. Possible solutions offered by the Board at the meeting included eliminating one or more lots on the west side of Featherstar Way to allow for fewer and wider lots, realigning Featherstar Way to allow for deeper lots on the west side of the street, and additional landscaping to supplement the existing off -site landscaping on the property to the west. The developer has eliminated one lot from the tier of eleven 60, wide lots west of Featherstar Way and incorporated the area into two lots immediately adjacent to the existing single family residence to the west. These two lots are now 90' wide and the developer is providing 5 large deciduous trees and 10 large deciduous shrubs on the rear of Lots 1 through 3, Block 1. Also, Featherstar Way has been realigned to provide an additional 20' of lot depth beginning with the third lot south of West Drake Road. The first two lots vary from 103' to 116' in depth. The increased lot depths occur as soon as possible, taking into consideration the required street tangent lengths and curve radii to meet City standards. Staff believes that this satisfies the intent of the Board's condition. Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A October 25, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 3 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: RP, BP; existing single family residential and shopping center (Hampshire Court, Drake Crossing) S: FA-1; large acreage residential in Larimer County E: RP; existing single family residential W: Rp, FA-1; existing large acreage single family residential in the City and Larimer County The property was annexed into the City with the West Drake Road Annexation in April, 1987 and zoned RP, Planned Residential with a planned unit development condition attached. The Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Preliminary was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 30, 1993 with two conditions attached. The conditions related to a provision for future access from this property to the City -owned property to the north and east, and additional buffering between this development and the property to the west. 2. Land Use• This is a request for final approval of 73 single family lots on 17.93 acres. The development is divided into, and will be constructed in, three phases. The overall property under one ownership is 22.79 acres; however, the City Stormwater Utility is purchasing 4.87 acres from the developer for a regional detention facility. The gross residential density for the "developable" portion of the property is 4.13 dwelling units per acre. The request is in substantial conformance with the approved Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Preliminary and meets the Applicable All Development Criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. 3. Design: Landscaping: A 45' landscape buffer, including a 4' wide detached sidewalk, is being provided along the West Drake Road frontage incorporating shade trees at 40' on -center in the parkway, ornamental and evergreen tree groupings along rear yard fences, and planting beds with a mix of deciduous and evergreen materials at the entries into the development. The developer is providing each homeowner with a certificate good Hampshire Pond P.U.D., Final - #44-93A October 25, 1993 P & Z Meeting Page 2 deciduous shrubs on the rear of Lots 1 through 3, Block 1. Also, Featherstar Way has been realigned to provide an additional 20' of lot depth beginning with the third lot south of West Drake Road. Staff believes that this satisfies the intent of the Board's preliminary condition requiring more buffering by this development to the large acreage property to the west.
