The project as proposed will not have a negative impact to the local circulation system Mulberry Pedestrian Crossing An issue that City staff raised and addressed in this traffic analysis is whether there is a need for a Mulberry pedestrian crossing. The concern stemmed from the fact that the proposed project would potentially generate approximately 40 children in the ages of K through 8 that may cross Mulberry to gain access to Rogers Park, located on the south side of Mulberry to the west of Impala by the distance of approximately one block. According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a crossing sign (WI 1A-2) should be t used to alert vehicle operators to unexpected entries in the roadway by pedestrians and other potential conflicts. These signs are located at unusually hazardous locations or where a crossing is not readily apparent. Motorists typically expect pedestrians to cross at intersections. In this situation, there are three intersections in which a pedestrian can cross Mulberry to gain access to Rogers Park: Impala, Tyler IStreet and the intersection to the park itself. Given the opportunity to cross at an existing intersection and that there is no visual obstruction along Mulberry, there is no specific need for installation of a pedestrian crossing along Mulberry.

For purposes of this analysis, the trip generation rate assumption for the duplex units is assumed to be the same as for ' single family residential units. The trip generation rates and resulting trip generation for the proposed project is presented in the following table.

Based on these relationships it was estimated that approximately 80 percent of the project traffic is to/from the east on Mulberry, 15 percent to/from the west on Mulberry and five percent to✓from the south on Ponderosa. Of the 80 percent of the traffic heading to/from the east on Mulberry, it was further estimated that the eighty percent was divided between 10 percent north on Taft Bill, 50 percent east on Mulberry and 20 percent south on Taft Mill. Applying the trip distribution assumptions times the trip generation and adding these volumes to the existing traffic counts yields the existing plus project traffic volumes as presented in Figure 4. The resulting existing plus project peak hour level of service for the three intersections analyzed is Presented in Table C. As can be seen, acceptable levels of services prevail at all three intersections in both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour conditions with the addition of project traffic.

In addition, this f figure presents an existing turn movement traffic estimate at the intersection of Mulberry and Taft Hill Road as presented in the December 14, 1993 Poudre High School Traffic Analysis prepared by Matt Delich. Intersection level of service analysis was performed at the intersections of Mulberry at Impala, Ponderosa and Taft Hill based on existing conditions. Level of Service (LOS) is a grading system as to how well an intersection operates, ranging from "A" which is excellent to "F" failure. LOS of "D" or better is the City of Fort Collins threshold for being acceptable. The existing level of service for the three intersections analyzed based on the 19S5 Wiigbway Capacity Mamud is presented in Table A.

Figure 1 Vicinity Map Aknick Darsspozodon HILL CREST DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The following traffic impact analysis for the proposed Hill Crest Development located in the City of Fort Collins has been prepared in response to a request by City of Fort Collins staff. As will be presented, the proposed residential project is located north of Mulberry and east of Impala Drive in the northwest section of the City of Fort Collins. Based on the request of City staff, the analysis is to evaluate the impacts of the proposed project traffic when added to existing and forecast traffic conditions in the future at the intersections of Mulberry Street at Impala Drive, Ponderosa Drive and Taft Hill Road. Because the City has recently reviewed and approved an expansion of the Poudre High School and closure of Impala Street north of Impala Court, City staff requested that the Hill Crest Development Traffic Impact Analysis be based in part on the Poudre High School Traffic Analysis prepared on August 9, 1993 with supplemental analysis dated December 14, 1993 by Matthew J. Delich. Project Description The project site is located north of Mulberry and east of Impala Court. The project location is presented in Figure 1. The proposed project consists of 13 duplex residential dwelling units and one single family dwelling unit for a total 27 dwelling units. As can be seen in the site plan as presented in Figure 2, 12 duplexes or 24 units will take access via Impala Court and Impala Drive and one duplex and one single family unit for a trial of three dwelling units will take access off of Mulberry. The proposed project will be located into an existing residential neighborhood comprised of single family and duplex residential dwelling units. To the northwest of the proposed project is the Poudre High School. Primary access to the project will be via Impala Drive, a two lane residential street with a twenty mile per hour posted speed limit. Primary arterial access will be via Mulberry Street, which is a four lane arterial with bike lanes, posted at 30 miles per hour. To the east of the project is Taft Hill Road, also a four lane arterial. The recently approved expansion of the Poudre High School included closure of Impala Drive as a through route between La Porte Avenue and Mulberry Street. The objective was to create two parldng lots for the Poudre High School with no access between them. As of the date of preparing this traffic study a "Road Closed To Through Traffic" sign has been placed at either end of Impala.

Will there be a F.C.H.A. employee as an onsite manager? RESPONSE: At this time, we are planning on one of the residents acting as manager in exchange for lower rent. 25. F.C.H.A. should promote resident councils. RESPONSE: This is a good comment. 26. Will there be any four bedroom units?. RESPONSE: No. 27. Will the six foot fence be built right away? We are concerned about blowing trash during construction season. RESPONSE: We will consider building the privacy fence as an initial phase of construction. 28. We are concerned about water draining onto our property. RESPONSE: The two planned detention ponds should capture the storm flows and keep water from draining onto your property. RESPONSE: Our traffic study indicates this will not be the case. The closing of Impala Drive as a through street to LaPorte Avenue takes a lot of pressure of Impala Drive. 15. Where is the closest bus stop? RESPONSE: The new bus stop is at the corner of Taft Hill Road and Mulberry Street. 16. What is the setback from the rear property lines of the existing homes on the east? Will there be a fence? RESPONSE: The setback will be 35 feet, with a six foot wood fence. 17. What is the timing of construction? RESPONSE: We hope to begin Phase One this Spring. 18. What is the status of PR-1 purchasing the soccer field? RESPONSE: F.C.H.A. is negotiating with PR-1 to trade the land for an equal amount of land the District may own in the southeast or southwest part of the City. If a trade can be done, then proceeds from a sale would not have to be given back to C.D.B.G. The District is very interested. The size of the detention pond will be key. 19. Will the large trees be saved? RESPONSE: We are planning on trying to save all the large trees. 20. Recently, Light and Power came through.and cut substantial portions of nearby willow trees. It looks real bad. Will more trees be cut to bring in electric to the site? RESPONSE: No, in keeping with City policy, new construction will be served by underground facilities, not overhead lines. 21. I am concerned about the density along Mulberry. Of all the options, I prefer the option with the least amount of density. RESPONSE: Please keep in mind that F.C.H.A. needs a certain amount of density to make the project feasible. 22. On the Mulberry lots, I prefer the option of one duplex, and one single family home. This has the least amount of density. 23. I am concerned about water conservation? Will the F.C.H.A. install bluegrass sod or will a more drought -tolerant sod be used? RESPONSE: This is a good comment. We plan on installing a sod that is a mix of grasses that will have less watering requirements than bluegrass. 5. Would Habitat For. Humanity be governed by the P.U.D.? RESPONSE: Yes, the P.U.D. would remain the governing document no matter who owns or develops the Mulberry lots. 6. So if there is a mix of rentals (Housing Authority) and owner occupied units (Habitat) both are under the control of the P.U.D.? RESPONSE: That is correct. 7. Is the Fort Collins Housing Authority concerned about the safety issues associated with young children and the stormwater detention pond? RESPONSE: No, the detention pond is for temporary storage of storm flows. There will be no standing water on a permanent basis, only after a rainstorm, and then this water is released, at a controlled rate, into the storm sewer system. This is not a hazardous situation. 8. Will the tot lot be fenced? RESPONSE: Yes. 9. As a resident of the Tenth Green Subdivision, I prefer single family.homes over multi -family. 10. Will there be only one driveway entrance off Mulberry? RESPONSE: That is correct. 11. Will there be a driveway connection from Mulberry into the interior of the project? RESPONSE: No, only a bicycle/pedestrian connection. 12. Will Phase Two need its own detention pond? If so, is there enough area for parking? RESPONSE: Yes, a small detention pond is being designed on Phase Two in order to meet the requirements of the City's Stormwater Utility. This small detention pond will not interfere with the parking area on Phase Two. 13. What about the ditch? RESPONSE: The ditch is an irrigation lateral for City Park. We have received permission from Parks and Recreation to place this ditch in a pipe. 14. It looks like traffic from this project will get jammed up at Impala Circle. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: Hill Crest Preliminary P.U.D. DATE: February 7, 1994 APPLICANT: Fort Collins Housing Authority CONSULTANT: Jim Bragonier PLANNER: Ted Shepard The meeting began with a description of the proposed project. All units will be constructed on the premises. There are no modular units. As proposed, there are three phases. Phase One is the primary phase with 12 duplexes for 24 units. Primary access to Phase One is gained from Impala Circle. The existing house that fronts on Mulberry is part of the P.U.D. There are three options on how many units to put in Phases Two and Three. Poudre R-1 has expressed an interest in purchasing the northerly 4.47 acres for an athletic field. Impala Drive will no longer connect Mulberry to LaPorte Avenue with the expansion of Poudre High School and the re- configuration of the parking lot. QUESTIONSt CONCERNS, COMMENTS 1. Will the units contain two or three bedrooms? RESPONSE: In Phase One, there will be a mix. Half will be two - bedroom and half will be three -bedroom. 2. Is Habitat For Humanity involved? RESPONSE: We have had some discussions with Habitat For Humanity regarding the lots that front on Mulberry but there are no immediate plans to bring them into the project. 3. If Habitat For Humanity were involved, would the lot be sold to the occupants? RESPONSE: Yes, the Habitat For Humanity program involves the occupants becoming owners of both the building and the lot. 4. If a lot, or lots, are sold to Habitat For Humanity, do the proceeds from the sale revert back to C.D.B.G? RESPONSE: No, proceeds would not have to be refunded to C.D.B.G. since Habitat promotes affordable housing. PLANNING OBJECTIVES FOR HILL CREST P.Q.D. The Hill Crest Planned Unit Development is a proposed low density residential development of attached, two-family dwellings owned by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. The site for this development consists of ten acres located at 2240 West Mulberry Street, east of Impala Drive with primary access off Impala Circle. Only 5.29 acres of the ten owned by the Housing Authority. Poudre R-1 has issued a letter of intent to purchase the north 4.47 acres for use as play fields. It is our understanding that this acreage will be left open for recreation purposes by Poudre R-1. This is an in -fill project contiguous to existing development on. all sides. Utilities services are either on the site or in close proximity. At an average density of 5.1 Units per Acre, this develop should have little impact on the neighboring single family dwellings or the multiple units of Ramblewood Apartments to the North. A major objective in this submission reduces the density of housing on the site to 76% of the that previously proposed and reduces the number of units by more than half to twenty-seven units. It is the mission of the Fort Collins Housing Authority to 'provide affordable housing to Fort Collins families throughout the community. With a continuous waiting list of potential tenants and continued housing pressure on those least able to afford housing, it becomes more important to place affordable housing in infill lots throughout the city, and each year the urgency mounts. This submission meets most of the Housing Authority's objectives, and is believed to address the real and serious concerns of neighborhood members present at the two prior neighborhood meetings. Specific concerns addressed are the use of new construction of conventionally appearing homes, reduced traffic to the site achieved by reducing the total number of units, and additional care undertaken in landscaping and screening of the development. The recent rerouting of Poudre High School traffic, particularly bus traffic, off Impala Drive has already reduced the amount of traffic which was of concern to the neighbors. Phase I of the project is currently funded for'24 duplexes, and is proposed to commence this Spring '94. The additional three residential units of Phase II and Phase III will be completed as funding becomes available, presumably in 1994-1995. It should be clearly stated that the total number of residential units anticipated for the ten acre site (excluding the 0.254 Acre existing home at 2300 W. Mulberry) will be 27 units here proposed by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. The Housing Authority has no additional designs on the land.

RE: HILL CREST P.U.D., House Relocation. Attached is 10 photo sheet copies of the subject house. The Fort Collins Housing Authority has an opportunity, to utilize an existing house that has been offered to us from the City Of Fort Coillins Parks Department. We see lot #1 of the Ricketts subdivision as a suitable location for the house to be placed. Lot #1 is building location # 14 on the HILL CREST P.U.D. plat, It would front on Mulberry St. and locate to the west of the existing residence 2300 W. Mulberry and the Grange Hall. In order to implement this house move efficiently, the timing of this relocation might need to take place before the p.u.d. procces would be completed. At present Lot # 1 of the Ricketts Subdivision is a plated building lot.

Phase I of the project is currently funded for'24 duplexes, and is proposed to commence this Spring '94. The additional three residential units of Phase II and Phase III will be completed as funding becomes available, presumably in 1994-1995. It should be clearly stated that the total number of residential units anticipated for the ten acre site (excluding the 0.254 Acre existing home at 2300 W. Mulberry) will be 27 units here proposed by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. The Housing Authority has no additional designs on the land. P.

The density is supported by a score of 130% on the Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. 3. Both the land use and project design are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 4. The P.U.D. is feasible from a transportation standpoint. Staff, therefore recommends approval of Hill Crest Preliminary P.U.D., 6-93A, subject to the following conditions: 1. At the time of Final P.U.D., the landscape plan shall include a detail for a typical landscape package for each structure. 2. At the time of Final P.U.D., the 12 interior structures shall demonstrate a greater variety in rooflines, front porches, and/or front elevations. Other techniques to promote variety are encouraged in order to diminish the repetitive architectural character of the P.U.D. Hillcrest PUD - Preliminary, #6-93A April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 6 6. Phase Three - Option The Fort Collins Housing Authority would like the P.U.D. to reflect the option of relocating an existing single family house onto the building envelope on Phase Three rather than construct a new building. The proposed house is presently located on the future site of McGraw Neighborhood Park and needs to be moved in order to be preserved. The house is not of modular construction. This option would apply to the one building envelope on Phase Three only. A copy of a photograph of the subject house in attached. Staff supports this option. The house to be relocated is a one story, frame, single family house reflective of the era and character of many of the surrounding properties. As a traditional structure, this house would promote neighborhood compatibility. 7. Transportation: The traffic impact analysis prepared for this P.U.D. reflects the expansion of Poudre High School to a projected enrollment of 1,800 students and the discontinuance of Impala Drive as a through street. According to the study, 80% of the project's traffic is to/from the east on Mulberry Street, 15% to/from the west on Mulberry, and 5% to/from the south on Ponderosa Drive. The traffic impact analysis investigated the project's impact on three intersections: Mulberry/Impala, Mulberry/Ponderosa, and Mulberry/Taft Hill Road. The analysis finds that with the addition of the Hill Crest P.U.D., acceptable levels of service prevail at all three intersections during both the a.m. and p.m. conditions. As part of the traffic impact analysis, the impacts on the street system to the year 2,000 was also investigated. This analysis assumed an annual background traffic increase of 2% per year. Again, acceptable levels of service will exist at the three intersections with addition of future growth combined with traffic from Hill Crest P.U.D. The Preliminary P.U.D. has been reviewed by the Transportation Department and found acceptable. RECOMMENDATION In reviewing the request for Hill Crest Preliminary P.U.D., Staff finds the following facts to be true: 1. The request satisfies the All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. Hillcrest PUD - Preliminary, #6-93A April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 5 B. Landscaping The buffer are will feature a mix of conifer and deciduous trees. For the five closest duplexes, there will be 13 evergreen trees planted directly between the units and the property line. These plantings will help buffer the duplexes from the three adjacent single family homes. Along the interior drive and parking areas, there will be deciduous street trees with evergreens setback further into the front yard areas. Staff is concerned about adding details on foundation and entry landscaping for each structure. In order to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the site and neighborhood, and to comply with All Development Criteria A-2.13, Staff recommends the following condition of approval: At the time of Final P.U.D., the landscape plan shall include a detail for a typical landscape package for each structure. C. Parking The 27 units are divided between 15 three bedroom and 12 two bedroom units. Total required parking, as per the Zoning Code, is 51 parking spaces. The Site Plan indicates 59 parking spaces. There are eight parking spaces devoted to disabled persons. D. Architecture All duplex units will be one story in height. Exterior materials include asphalt shingles and hardboard siding in a six inch lap pattern. Each individual unit will have a covered front porch at the entry measuring 48 square feet. Staff is concerned that the appearance of the 12 interior units is repetitious. The front elevations could be enhanced with variety in the roofline and/or front porch design. For purposes of neighborhood compatibility, the P.U.D. has a strong inward orientation resulting in an emphasis on front yards, and common areas. In order to promote increased variety and less repetition, and to comply with All Development Criteria A-2.7, Staff recommends the following condition of approval: At the time of Final P.U.D., the 12 interior structures shall demonstrate a greater variety in the rooflines, porches, and/or front elevations. Other techniques to promote variety are encouraged in order to diminish the repetitive architecture of the P.U.D. Hillcrest PUD - Preliminary, #6-93A April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 into the high school parking lot, not connecting to LaPorte Avenue. The size of the submittal has been reduced from 56 units on 8.42 acres to 27 units on 5.29 acres. These changes were perceived by the neighborhood as positive and promoting neighborhood compatibility. For the current submittal, there remains a concern among those attending the neighborhood information meeting regarding the proposed density, especially along Mulberry Street, next to Tenth Green Subdivision. It was the desire of the neighborhood to have as low a density as possible along the eastern edge of the project. In response, the Fort Collins Housing Authority has placed as many of units away from Tenth Green Subdivision as possible. Of the 26 duplex structures, only five are adjacent to Tenth Green Subdivision. These duplexes are setback 35 feet from the easterly property line. There are only three existing homes in Tenth Green Sub that will share a property line with these five structures. This buffer area contains a continuous six foot solid wood fence as well as clusters of evergreen trees. For the duplex structure along Mulberry Street, in Phase Two, the adjacent lot to the east is presently unplatted and vacant. This duplex is setback from the easterly property line by 40 feet. In evaluating the neighborhood compatibility issue, Staff has found that the proposed Preliminary P.U.D. fits in, is sensitive to and maintains the character of the existing residential neighborhood, Tenth Green Subdivision. 5. Design: As a duplex project, the P.U.D. is characterized by the following design features: A. Buffer Area As mentioned, the critical buffer area is along the easterly property line where five duplexes (10 units) share a common property line with three single family homes in Tenth Green Subdivision. These duplexes are staggered. The setbacks from the easterly property line range from 35 to 55 feet. The actual property line will be fenced with a six foot high, shadow box, cedar fence. Hillcrest PUD - Preliminary, #6-93A April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 The general area is characterized by large unplatted lots facing Mulberry Street which were developed as rural residential prior to annexation into the City. The housing stock is mixed in terms of age and density. Skyline Mobile Home Park is across the street to the south. 3. Land Use• The request for 27 units (13 duplexes and one single family unit) on 5.29 acres represents a density of 5.10 dwelling units per acre. This density is justified by the score of 130% on the Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. Points were awarded for the following: d. Being within 3,500 feet of a neighborhood park (Rogers Park) e. Being within 1,000 feet of a school (Poudre High School) f. Being within 3,000 feet of a major employment center (Poudre R-1 Administration Building and Maintenance Facility). h. Being located in "north" Fort Collins. j. Having contiguity with existing urban development. q. Committing to develop 100% of the units for low income families. As can be seen by the score, the project satisfies a sufficient amount of the locational criteria as well as the bonus criteria of the Residential Uses Point Chart to justify the proposed density of 5.10 dwelling units per acre. It should noted that the provision to reserve the units for tenants classified as "low income" satisfies one of the goals of City Council to promote affordable housing. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood information meeting was held on February 7, 1994. Minutes of this meeting are attached. It will be recalled from the 1993 submittal that the primary concerns raised by the neighborhood were the quality of the modular units, the traffic on Impala Drive, and the density of the project, (56 units on 8.42 acres at 6.6 d.u./acre). In contrast, the 1994 submittal proposes onsite construction with no modular units. Impala Drive is now discontinued as a through street terminating Hillcrest PUD - Preliminary, #6-93A April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background• The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-M; Existing Multi -Family (Ramblewood Apartments) S: R-L; Existing Single Family and Mobile Home Park E: R-L & R-P; Existing Single Family (Tenth Green Subdivision) W: R-L; Existing Single Family (Impala Sub), Poudre High The parcel was included in the Maxwell First and Maxwell Second Annexation approved in 1963. In 1988, the project was part of the Ricketts Preliminary Subdivision, a request for 35 single family lots on 10 acres, with frontage on Mulberry Street. This Preliminary Subdivision was withdrawn and replaced by the Ricketts Final Subdivision, a one lot subdivision on .43 acre, next to the existing home that fronts on Mulberry Street. In March of 1993, Impala Village Preliminary P.U.D. was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. This P.U.D. was a request for 56 multi -family units, office, and maintenance building on 8.42 acres. In May of 1993, the City Council overturned the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board on appeal. 2. Context Within the Section: Hill Crest P.U.D. is directly west of a single family neighborhood platted as Tenth Green Subdivision, approved in 1968. This neighborhood consists of 50 homes on 13 acres for a density of 3.85 dwelling units per acre. The common property line with Hill Crest is shared by nine homes in Tenth Green. There is no proposed pedestrian or vehicular access between Hill Crest and Tenth Green. To the north is a 4.47 acre parcel that is under consideration for purchase by Poudre R-1 School District for athletic fields. North of this acreage is Ramblewood Apartments, platted in 1970. There are no proposed connections into Ramblewood Apartments. To the west is Impala Subdivision, approved as a one lot subdivision in 1974 consisting of 1.75 acres. There are 11 single family units for a density of 6.28 dwelling units per acre. To the north, Poudre High School campus is undergoing dramatic change. Along with the building expansion, Impala Drive has been closed as a through street with no connection between Mulberry Street and LaPorte Avenue. The parking lot and athletic fields are being modified. ITEM NO. 22 MEETING DATE 4/25/94 STAFF Ted Shepard PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT PROJECT: Hill Crest Preliminary P.U.D., #6-93A APPLICANT: Fort Collins Housing Authority c/o Bragonier Architects 1913 Seminole Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525 OWNER: Fort Collins Housing Authority 1715 West Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO. 80521 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for Preliminary P.U.D. for 27 dwelling units (13 duplexes and one single family residence) on 5.29 acres located on the north side of West Mulberry Street, east of Impala Circle, and west of Tenth Green Subdivision. The property is zoned R-L, Low Density Residential. RECOMMENDATION: Approval With Conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Preliminary P.U.D. is divided into three phases. The request has been reviewed by the Neighborhood Compatibility Criteria and found to compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The P.U.D. also satisfies the remaining All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. The density of 5.10 dwelling units per acre is supported by a score of 130% on the Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. An option on Phase Three would be to move an existing single family house (not a modular unit) onto the building envelope. There are two conditions of approval pertaining to landscape details and upgrading architectural variety. The P.U.D. is feasible from a transportation standpoint.
