College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Frank: Staff has reviewed the Park South PUD Master Plan and Preliminary Phase Plan A and have the following comments to make: Master Plan VT There is an existing 4" gas line parallel to the south line of Horsetooth Road at 15' south of the southern right-of-way line. Utility easements will need to be provided for this existing gas line on any future rep.lats. L2/ With the proposed change in use of the northern portion of the site, previous run-off calculations and detention requirements will need to be re-evaluated. I The city's Traffic Engineer is requesting additional information in the Vj traffic impact analysis and is working directly with the project traffic (vim consultant. Specific traffic concerns relate to the proposed two points of ��J nr�lbu access along Horsetooth (only one should be shown and should incorporate a decel lane) and the need for a right turn bay at Manhattan, as well as the overall impact on area streets. The planning objectives shown lon the site plan need. #,o reflect "54" lots, rather than 55. 117511' The remainder of note 6 regarding the intent/expectations of master plans needs to be added. The phasing schedule for phase twp needs to be defined. Clarification of "private community) services" is needed in note 5. The proposed land use categories need to be broken out to define what falls under the heading of "commercial, office and retail". Definition is needed for "seasonal uses". JtMV1Utb, h'LANNINU Park South Comments Page 2 Many of the proposed uses appear to be regional in nature and therefore, may be inappropriate for this site. Included are hotels/motels, hospitals, indoor theatres, printing & newspaper offices, warehouse & storage facilities, boat... showrooms & repair and builder's supplies. Staff questions the inclusion of these uses as potential uses in a neighborhood -oriented commercial/retail project. 10. Additional information regarding the buffering intent and proposed building height in the northwest corner of the site should be provided. Suggestions include a minimum buffer width dimension and a limit to building height along the western portion of phase E as a means of providing adequate separation between existing residential uses and the proposed commercial/office uses. Phase A, Preliminary tXWater mains exist and are available in Manhattan and Horsetooth. A sanitary sewer main is available in the southeast corner of the property., A water main is also existing in Dennison west of the property. The main in Dennison should be looped to the main in Manhattan. I/� Light and Power facilities are existing along a portion of Dennison and `� along the easterly cul-de-sac g y (previously called Stream Ct.). It appears that most, if not all, of this system will need to be removed or abandoned to accommodate the replat. The cost of reworking the electric system will be at the developer's expense. 'u13! t The existing sewer main, behind the south curb of the revised Stream Court may require special considerations when Light and Power designs the electric system. If additional costs are encountered by Light and Power to work around the sewer main, these costs will be passed on to the devel- oper. Some 411 of the existing water and sewer services now line up with the lot lines of this plap. If these services are utilized, or otherwise preclude the installation of Light and Power equipment, the additional costs will be passed on to the developer. "7 5. The rear easement on lots ' 8,9,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,&29 is all drainage ditch. An additional 8' easement is needed for utilities. All 5' easements should be increased to 6'. Any variance to engineering standards needs to be in written form and prepared by a registered professional engineer. 7 7. Some dimensions on the site plan do not match engineering drawings. These plans need to be coordinated and matched. Access ramps at sidewalks need to be shown. �a ', 9. � The utility plan and site plan for the intersection of Manhattan and u� Dennison are not complete. Curb, gutter and sidewalk should be provided Park South Comments Page 3 along Manhattan and needs to be incorporated with the existing street design. % 10. The potential for street naming and addressing problems exists with the design of Dennison. Coordination with staff regarding this situation is necessary. �! 11. A landscape plan addressing the Manhattan frontage, as well as landscape intent for individual lots must be submitted. The issue of maintenance of landscaping along Manhattan must also be clarified. j,,12/ Street names should be shown on the site plan. 1 The area of each lot should be shown on the plat. L,IA:'-A note that all signs must comply with the sign code should be placed on the site plan. 1-1 �A. Staff would encourage a 20' frontyard setback, rather than a 15' setback. i IA note should be placed on the site plan regarding the provision of tandem parking spaces in front of garages, that will not overhang sidewalks. t,N'The specific drainage easement location on the southern end of the site is being designed. At a minimum, the western and eastern ends of this easement will need to be flared -out to approximately 20'. This needs to be addressed on both the site plan and plat. Revisions reflecting these comments are due by noon on June �sd 1988. Items that cannot be shown graphically on the plans should be addre in writing. Three copies of all plans that are revised should be provided. PMT reductions of all plans, color renderings and ten (10) full size copies of all plans are due by June 20, 1988. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
