Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS i MEETING DATE:. May 8, 1989 ITEM: Timberline Farm Rezoning, Master Plan, and First Phase Preliminary APPLICANT: Mr. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, 3030 South College Avenue, Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO. 80525 LAND USE DATA: This is a request for an 80 acre master plan located at the northeast corner of Harmony Road and Timberline Road. The area of the Harmony School is proposed to be rezoned from T (Transitional) to I-P (Industrial Park). The Phase One Preliminary P.U.D. consists of 17.5 acres for 68 single family lots located on the north end of the site bordered by Caribou Drive. COMMENTS: 1. There is ample power available from the north. Thus, there would be no problem if the development sequence was from north to south. There would be a problem if the Harmony School site were to develop first as power is not readily available to that site. The standard 15 foot easements would be required along both arterials. 2. There are 16 inch water mains in both Harmony and Timberline. The Warren Trunk sewer line (27 inch) will serve the site. A repay is due the City on this sewer line. There is a 12 inch water main in Caribou also. 3. The site will be required to release storm flows at the 100 year historic rate. The Stormwater Utility needs to convey flows from the "Chandler Sump" to the regional detention pond in Sunstone Village. Additional right-of-way may be required to accomplish this conveyance. If an extra 10 feet for a channel cannot be obtained from the mobile home park, then perhaps these flows (approximately 45 c.f.s.) can be conveyed via an underground pipe. Generally, all storm runoff will flow from south to north. 4. The master plan and Phase One preliminary should show the necessary dedica- tion for right-of-way along both Harmony and Timberline, along with the utility easements. 5. Please check with Matt Baker in the Engineering Department regarding the applicable street oversizing fees. Matt's number is 221-6605. 6. Access to the existing Harmony School site must be in compliance with the Harmony Road Access Control Plan. Also, please plan on access to the north over the Spring Canyon Ditch. Temporary access onto Harmony Road must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Board via the P.U.D. process. 7. The Parks and Rec Dept. will not maintain the rear lot areas of the single family lots along the proposed collector streets. i I 8. Fencing along collector streets must adhere to design guidelines that pro- mote a pleasing streetscape and not create a tunnel effect. 9. The single family phases are encouraged to provide a bicycle system that will allow transportation to the Linton Elementary School. To the extent pos- sible, this system is encouraged to be off-street. 10. A neighborhood meeting will be required. The 'applicant is responsible for generating the mailing list of affected property owners in an area determined by the Planning Staff.
