HomeMy WebLinkAboutSTROMBERGER MASTER PLAN - 16-89 - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSMarch 20, 1989 Eldon Ward C/O Cityscape 3030 S. College, Suite 200 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Eldon: Staff has reviewed the zoning and master plan request for the Stromberger Property and has the following comments: 1. There is an existing 16" water main on the north side of Harmony Road. The developer must construct a new 16" main in Timberline Road and a 12" main along the south property line. 2. A sanitary sewer main is existing along the south property line and another main is stubbed to the east property line from the psychiatric hospital east of this site. 3. Plats will need to dedicate 15' minimum width utility easements adjoining the south R-O-W line of Harmony Road and the east R-O-W line of Tim- berline Road. Eight foot minimum utility easements will be required adjoining street R-O-W lines on both sides of all internal streets. 4. Since parcel C shows as potential residential uses, the Parks and Recreation Department may want to discuss a potential park site when parcel C becomes better defined. 5. The access point on Harmony, between Timberline and the mobile home park will be a right-in/out only. An access permit will be required for this access point. 6. The site is located in the McClelland Basin. All development is subject to on -site detention, with a staged release rate of 0.2 cfs/acre for the 10-year storm and 0.5 cfs/acre for the 100-year storm. As development proceeds, off -site regional drainage facilities may be required. 7. It is the developer's responsibility to get developed flows to the main drainage channel to the south of this site. 8. A master drainage plan needs to be submitted as part of the master plan application. The Storm Water Utility staff recommends one main detention area. This may assist in enhancing water quality. The potential time frame for development of this site will coincide with new Federal Water Quality regulations for stormwater runoff. 100 LaPorte Avenue - P.O. Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 9. The 80' landscape buffer noted on the master plan should be noted as being measured from R-O-W, rather than edge of pavement. 10. Master Plan submittal requirements also include a master utility plan and a traffic impact analysis for the entire site. These items should be sub- mitted as part of the master plan application, rather than at a later review stage. 11. The I-P Zone would require only a 50' landscaped buffer along the Har- mony Road frontage, since the residential zone to the north is separated from this site by a street R-O-W. As noted in other similar zoning requests, staff is concerned about the ability to require more restrictive provisions on the master plan than what the I-P Zone would require with uses -by -right. A better idea of the Planning and Zoning Board's position on the master plan condition approach may be provided at the March 23 work session to discuss this. 12. A number of the uses proposed on the master plan are not implied on the master plan (i.e., industrial/business park does not imply a shopping center). Clarification is needed on this plan regarding the development intent of the site. 13. Staff is assuming that the site design guidelines referred to on the master plan will be submitted for review with the master plan. Clarification of this item is needed. 14. Consideration should be given to a pedestrian trail through the master plan. By noon on Wednesday. April 5. 1989, three copies of the revised site plan addressing these comments must be submitted to this office. Items that cannot be provided graphically should be addressed in written form. By Monday. April 17 1989, ten (10) folded sets of all plans, a colored rendering (unfolded) and an 8-1/2"x I PMT reduction must be submitted. If you have any questions or would like to meet with me to discuss these com- ments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Sherry Albe on -Clark, AICP Senior City tanner xc: Joe Frank, Assistant Planning Director Mike Herzig, Development Coordinator
