Hwy. 287 Fort Collins, CO 80524 OWNER: Same PROJECT PLANNER: Sherry Albertson -Clark PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A request for Master Plan approval for 57 dwelling units on 6 acres, phase plan approval for 21 units on 3.6 acres and a waiver to the off -site street improvements requirement for a site located north of Terry Lake, on Terry Point Drive, zoned M-Multi-Family. RECOMMENDATION:: Approval EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This Master Plan and Phase Plan represents the lat- ter stages of the Terry Point Estates development. There are two multi -family structures (a 4-plex and 3-plex) existing to the south of this site, which were Phase I of this development. Water would be provided by ELCO Water District and sewer service would be provided by Cherry Hills Sanitation District. All roads serving this development are existing. The waiver request is to waive off -site street improvements from the site to Highway 1. OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT 300 LaPorte Ave. • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221-6750 SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Terry Point PUD - County Referral #70-88 P & Z Meeting - September 26, 1988 Page 2 COMMENTS 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land use is as follows: N: M, Multi -Family; existing single family units S: M, Multi -Family; existing multi -family units E: Terry Lake W: R, Residential; existing single family units The Master Plan area covers the entire 6-acre site and consists of a future phase of 36 units. The preliminary phase plan consists of seven duplex lots, one tri-plex lot and one four-plex lot (for a total of 21 dwelling units) on 3.6 acres of the Master Plan area. The site is a replat of part of Terry Point Estates Subdivision. Water would be provided by ELCO Water District and sewer by the Cherry Hills Sanitation District. 2. Land Use: The site is located in the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, which is intended for urban level development. Urban level residential development is that which exceeds 2 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density for the Master Plan area is 9 DU/acre and the density for the preliminary phase plan is at 7 DU/acre. Therefore, the proposed land use is consistent with the intent of the Intergovernmental Agreement and the Larimer County Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has an approved plan which would allow the construction of 8 DU/acre (as per the existing zoning) for the phase plan area. Since the applicant is intending to develop and sell these units in condominium ownership, Colorado land use regulations require that the property be subdivided in order to pursue the proposed development plan. 3. Resource Protection: As a point of information, staff would encourage the developer to take precautions to prevent erosion and contamination of Terry Lake during construction. Staff would also encourage that the future owners of the units be prevented from planting the traditional blue grass lawn to the water's edge (as indicated on the landscape plan). Leaving a natural area of tall grasses and native vegetation helps minimize the potential for soil erosion, prevent the deposit of nutrients and organic matter and slow the deposit of algae, which can deplete oxygen, choking the lake. Terry Point PUD - County Referral #70-88 P & Z Meeting - September 26, 1988 Page 3 4. Urban Growth Area Phasing Criteria: Within the Urban Growth Area, development phasing criteria must be met by all proposed developments. These criteria require the provision of public water and sewer for the development, that the site have 1/6 of its perimeter boundary contiguous to existing development and that streets from the site to the nearest improved arterial street be constructed to the standards as indicated on the Master Street Plan. The proposed development meets the UGA phasing criteria, with the exception of the off -site street improvements requirement. Access to the preliminary phase plan site will come from Terry Point Drive and Swan Lane (existing local streets) and Douglas Road (County Road 54). Douglas Road is designated as an arterial street on the Master Street Plan; however, it does not meet arterial standards. Terry Point Drive and Swan Lane do not meet current local street standards. Under the UGA phasing criteria, the developer would be responsible for improving both Terry Point Drive and Swan Lane to current local street standards (approximately 1/4 mile) and Douglas Road to arterial standards (approximately 1 /2 mile). The site is defined as "in -fill" development according to the Intergovernmental Agreement. "In -fill" developments are those proposals in developed portions of the UGA, whose impact on existing services and facilities is relatively minimal. The proposal would add 21 dwelling units to an area of existing development and would use streets that are already existing. As a result, the project is eligible to request a waiver from the requirement to fully improve all off -site streets to the standards indicated on the Master Street Plan and has met the minimum waiver conditions specified in the Intergovernmental Agreement. The Master Plan shows a future phase of 36 units, which will have access directly from Douglas Road. The location of this access point has been based on a sight distance analysis conducted for the applicant by a traffic consultant. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed this analysis and supports the proposed access location on Douglas Road. RECOMMENDATION The Point PUD Phase II Master Plan and Preliminary Phase Plan are consistent with the Intergovernmental Agreement and the Larimer County Comprehensive Plan. The site is defined as "in -fill" development and qualifies for a waiver to the off -site street improvements requirement; therefore, staff recommends approval of The Point PUD Phase II Master Plan, Preliminary Phase Plan and Off -Site Street Improvements Waiver.

The design vehicle was assumed to be passenger car. The centerline profile of Douglas Road was prepared by James H. Stewart and Associates, Consulting Engineers. Criteria used was otained from the "Larimer County Access Policy," Section 4:5, Sight Distance and A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 1984, pgs. 780-789. The profile of Douglas Road covers the length from the t,,jest to the east property lines of Terry Point Estates. The proposed access is intended to be between Swan Lane and the east property line. From a high point near Swan Lane, Douglas Road falls off to the east at a grade approaching five percent. The safe stopping sight distance is 350 feet. This is based upon a crossing maneuver. This distance should be increased by 25 feet z to account for the grade in the eastbound direction. The total safe stopping sight distance eastbound is 375 w feet and westbound is 350 feet. From field Z sight distance problem in the � observations, there is no g W westbound direction. For the eastbound direction, the closest the centerline of the driveway can be is 290 '— feet east of the centerline of Swan Lane. U o However, the left -turn exit from a driveway or a minor street is executed at a slightly slower speed than the crossing maneuver. In this instance, the safe sight CD distance to the west is 490 feet plus 25 feet totalling z 515. Using this criteria, the centerline of the access a C= driveway should be no closer than 580 feet east of the centerline of Swan Lane. U aIt is recommended that the location of 580 feet east of the centerline of Swan Lane be used. If physical constraints prevent use of this distance, then it is recommended that the longest distance greater than 290 feet from the centerline of Swan Lane be used.
