HomeMy WebLinkAboutWEST FOSSIL CREEK MASTER PLAN - 61-88, C - CORRESPONDENCE - RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS0 1� November 2, 1988 Ms. Linda Ripley Project Planner City of Fort Collins Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: WEST FOSSIL CREEK MASTERPLAN Dear Linda: GEFROH HATTMAN INC. ARCHITECTS/PLANNERS CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 135 West Swallow Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 (303) 223-7335 The following letter is in response to your comments concerning the Master - plan. We have listed our responses in the same numerical sequence that your letter was written. 1. A note number 12 addresses the need for additional R.O.W. dedication to the public at development platting stage. 2. Future link to the north and Snead Drive is shown and noted within the land use notes Parcel A, Item 2. 3. Limitations on land uses for Parcel A due to neighborhood concerns are in conformance with those approved with the Fossil Creek Commercial Masterplan March 1985 following a similar neighborhood concerns voiced at the Neighborhood Meeting for the property at that time. These items are outlined in Land Use Notes under Parcel A, Note 3.' 4. We understand that the frontage road shown at the east end of Cameron Park that is not a sole point of access may be vacated at such time as adjacent property was made a part of the City of Fort Collins through annexation. 5. We have indicated the proposed zoning of each parcel under symbol for each parcel. It is noted that Parcel A has current zoning of BP and no change to this zoning has been requested. 6. The land use notes have been clarified and noted in accordance to each parcel. 7. Land uses within 150 feet have been added where needed. 8. This Masterplan indicates the current defined flood plain and the in- tended R.O.W. for the relocated Fossil Creek Parkway is outside of this area. 9. As you know, we have conferred with both the Corps of Engineers and the City Natural Resources Department to identify areas of concerns to both parties. Those areas that the Corps of Engineers indicated to be of specific jurisdiction by their department, if planned to be altered at some time, would have to comply with applicable regulations and permits. 10. We understand that due to the adjacency of Fossil Creek that if deter- mined appropriate by storm drainage runoff may be discharged into Fossil Creek without detention. 11. A drainage report for the area identifying proposed drainage patterns has been prepared and submitted under separate cover. 12. We understand that Storm Drainage has located two out -fall, erosion -con- trol structures along Fossil Creek due to regional drainage pressures. At such time as a development plan is approved and construction begins these structures may be added to that development and reimbursed to the Developer at time of acceptance. • • Ms. Linda Ripley November 2, 1988 Page 2 13. Phase Planners and Developers will consult with Poudre Fire Authority as to access conflicts due to phasing if any and the appropriate method to resolve these issues. 14. Any development in this area will need to meet fire flows as determined by Poudre Fire Authority to be appropriate to specific development as noted in Note 13. 15. A trail adjacent to Fossil Creek through the property is shown on both sides of College. Actual design and location will be subject to grades and life safety criteria established by the City as noted in Note 14. 16. We understand that utilities of water and sewer are to be provided by independent districts and is noted by Note 15. 17. We agree with Staff that a landscape concept that is consistent through- out the Masterplan would be appropriate and we believe this landscape package can be derived from the landscape design of the First Phase Final if the scope of that First Phase is of a significant size. We beg to differ with Staff on the Architectural vanilla only concept for the Masterplan. We believe because of the site specific land features and current adjacent land uses that a variety of designs is in order. The remaining lots in the Cameron Business Park will most likely be similar in nature to the surrounding office buildings while a use in the large Track G may take on a traditional commercial appearance. Track A on the east side of College Avenue is separated enough from Track G that it may take on a different commercial appeal. The spatial diversity of the property and how it is perceived allows for a diver- sity of Architectural styles. Looking at other large Masterplanned areas within the City you see a diversity of image, style and contrast which gives a City an individual textural quality. 57 acres of same- ness pushs planning back 30 years.
