Board members present included Vice Chair Jan Cottier, Jennifer Fontane, Bernie Strom, Lloyd Walker, and Sharon Winfree. Chair Rene Clements and Jim Klataske were absent. Staff members present included Planning Director Tom Peterson, Deputy City Attorney Paul Eckman, Sherry Albertson -Clark, Ted Shepard, Mike Herzig, Kerrie Ashbeck, Carolyn Worden and Kayla Ballard. AGENDA REVIEW NSENT AGENDA ITEM 25 - NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY - #67-93. Mr. Peterson said this was the most significant item to come before the Board from the Land Development Guidance System audit in 1990. He stated that the audit dealt with issues of how determination of compatibility and PUDs in neighborhoods are evaluated. He said over the past 18 months, a team of citizens, staff and consultants have been working very hard to look at this issue. He concluded that this is a significant milestone accomplished for the LDGS and the results are good. Chief Planner Sherry Albertson -Clark said this has been a joint effort between staff, the consultants, and advisory committee. The consultant team of Linda Ripley of Ripley Associates and Bob Komives of Fort Collins and Marty Zeller of Design workshop out of Denver have been working with us since December of 1991 on this project. She stated early on a volunteer advisory committee was formed of approximately 14 members, some are present at this meeting, as well as the consultants involved, and will be happy to answer any questions the Board may have. She said compatibility criteria were evaluated; and two specific areas of recommendation evolved: (1) changes to the "All Development Criteria" and (2) a sot of recommendations that deal with "Process". She said this was arrived at by having a significant amount of citizen involvement (interviews with focus groups-- roundtable discussion (bringing focus members together) --the advisory committee was then formed]. Planner Clark said there were two community workshops held early on, to get a sense from the citizen standpoint, where this project Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Minutes November 1, 1993 Page 20 Vice Chair Cottier had some questions concerning the ditch. Mr. Peterson admitted the ditch looked inadequate for function, requested the opportunity to look at Tract D. Vice Chair Cottier appreciated the attempt of the developers to try to offer a density mix, and felt the project acceptable. Member Walker felt the density on the southern interface is adequate but wanted buffering explored and favored the general density of the ODP. Attorney Eckman stated if the motion is to deny the ODP, it would be his recommendation that the person who makes the motion would also include the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, not the LDGS. Member Fontane moved to recommend approval of the Overall Development Plan of the Rock Creek PIID. Member Strom seconded the motion. Motion passed 5-0. ITEM 28 - HILLSIDE AT ROCK CREEK PIID - PRELIMINARY #16-89C Member Strom moved to accept the Hillside at Rock Creek Preliminary PIID. Member Fontane seconded the motion. Motion passed 5-0. ITEM 29 - BROOKSIDE VILLAGE AT ROCK CREEK PIID - PRELIMINARY #16-89E Member Fontane requested that the staff, developer and neighbors get together before any further plans are developed. She said the storm Water and ditch plans need to be explored. Member Walker asked what is the best approach to solving this situation. Vice Chair Cottier felt it was appropriate for the Board to recommend a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Peterson commented that a motion could be made to request this item back onto the agenda on a specific date, November 15 or December 13. Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Minutes November 1, 1993 Page 21 Mr. Ward said this project affects a small number of residents and thought options could be defined quickly with the neighbors. e -lg tj2 Member Walker made the motion to continue the Brookside Village preliminary to the November meeting with the understanding that there would be a neighborhood meeting with the developer and staff concerning appropriate buffering. Member Winfree seconded the motion. Member Walker commented that the interface is with an agricultural area and believes the Board needs to see what can separate the residential area proposed in this area, even a canal. Member Strom believed it was viable to consider the canal as a buffer and suggested that neighbors work together and come up with an acceptable solution. Motion passed 5-0. Mr. Peterson stated after conferring with engineering staff, there are positives and negatives to relocation of the drainage ditch. He mentioned the positive aspects had already been considered and addressed the negative as being: (1) hydraulically moving the ditch may cause some lots to be lost which would change the density equation and (2) if the ditch is moved to the south property line, it will probably aid the property owners along the line as well as the Geneva Homes developer to make sure the irrigation discharge water is taken care of in a reasonable manner for it to work with the McClellan Ditch compliance. The meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m.
