P&Z Meeting Minutes April 27, 1992 Page 14 Member O'Dell asked if any thought was given to building duplexes, patio, homes or something along those lines? She also wanted to know if there was anyway to make the proposed project look more interesting? Mr. Rutherford stated that the setback had been varied from the front so that there was not a straight line on the front of the project. All of the units are not going to look alike in respect to the sizes of the buildings, and different exterior looks on the single family housing. Member O'Dell asked if single family homes with regular size_ lots, were the type of structures for which the developer considered building? r Mr. Rutherford stated the developer also considered fourplexes, but that type of development is very expensive. The developer also looked at paired housing and various other types of developments and it seemed that single family homes are the most logical use for the land. Member Clements -Cooney moved to approve Granada Heights PUD, Preliminary and Final with a condition regarding the execution of the development agreement plans and the variance of solar orientation. Member Klataske seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 7-0. FORT COLLINS HOUSING AUTHORITY SUBDIVISION PLAT, FINAL, Case #28-89B Kirsten Whetstone gave a description of the proposed project recommending approval. PUBLIC INPUT Mr. John Messineo, 137 North Bryan, expressed that he wanted to be assured the wording in regards to not allowing any expansion of existing buildings, nor does it give approval for future or redevelopment of the site was put into effect. He felt that his concern was met. Mr. Paul Morris, 1720 West Mountain, stated that this property is also unique, like the Potts PUD, and felt that subdividing this lot on its current defacto use would not fit into the long term use of park land. This particular property was released into a sweetheart deal 15 or 20 years ago for a Quasi -Government Agency to get started. The Housing Authority is a part of such an entity and if it were to leave that site what would happen to the Westside Plan? Chairman Strom closed the public input portion of the meeting at this time. P&Z Meeting Minutes April 27, 1992 Page 15 Ms. Whetstone stated that the City of Fort Collins has made it a policy to subdivide existing facilities, such as, fire stations, detention ponds, and other City buildings. In this case the Housing Authority occupies the building that belongs to the City of Fort Collins, and if the Housing Authority were to leave, the building would remain intact and the site would then be turned back over to the Parks and Recreation Department to be used for some other use. It is not untypical to have a City facility or structure sitting on a lot. Member Carroll commented that the project basically gives a legal description of the real estate, and that the site needs to be referred to by engineering standards. Hence, this site would just be referred to as a lot. Chairman Strom stated that this property is different than the Potts PUD in the sense that developments were encroached around property and isolated that piece in the back end. This lot fronts on a public street. Member Carroll moved to approve the Fort Collins Housing Authority Subdivision Plat, Final. Member Cottier seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 7-0. Chairman Strom recessed the meeting for five minutes and will reconvene the meeting with Item #20 Pinecone PUD Overall Development Plan. The Pinecone PUD Overall Development Plan addresses property that wraps around the Fort Collins High School site, and that both of these items would be addressed separately due to distinct ownership and authority on the projects. Member Klataske stated that he has submitted a declaration of conflict -of -interest due to owning property in the area and would be abstaining from the discussion. PINECONE PUD OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, Case #60-91A Ted Shepard gave a description of the proposed project recommending approval. Mr. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, stated the staff report representing the project was put together very well. Mr. Ward felt that in planning the project, the unique mix of land uses, the high school site, coordinating with CSU, and various private development interests have come together to produce a very innovative approach to this site. Member Walker asked what the limitations are to the corner commercial property and is there a time limit on those restrictions?
