Dear Mr. Robinson
Staff has reviewed the request for Park South, First Replat, Final
P.U.D., and offers the following comments:
1. The P.U.D. site plan should delete those areas of the Park
South Preliminary P.U.D. that are not contained within the
First Replat. Since these deleted areas are to remain in
preliminary status, it is unnecessary and confusing to show on
a Final P.U.D.
2. Existing electrical facilities that will require to be
abandoned, removed, or relocated will be done at the
developer's expense.
3. U.S. West requires utility easements along the east property
line of the drainage easement immediately south of Lot 10.
Also, utility easements along Manhattan Drive should be wide
enough to accommodate all utilities in addition to U.S. West.
4. The landscaping along Manhattan should be finalized with exact
quantities, species, caliper sizes, and locations. This
should be done on a separate landscape plan which may, or may
not, be on a separate plan sheet. Please keep in mind that
deciduous shade trees should be kept 40 away from
streetlights, and ornamental trees should be kept 20 feet
away. Also, horizontal distance from any underground
utilities should also be indicated.
5. The "Land Use" data table should be revised to indicate the
specific information relating to the 18 lots within the First
Replat.
6. Similarly, the Legal Description should be revised.
7. Staff is concerned about the 15 foot minimum front setback and
the potential for parked cars in the driveways to overhang the
sidewalk. Variable front setbacks are encouraged, however,
driveways should have a minimum of 20 feet in length to keep
the sidewalks clear.

8. The note on providing one street tree per lot should be moved
over to indicate it will apply to the First Replat. Also, the
note should appear in the text under the "Land Use" data
table. Finally, the note should also indicate that Lots 1 and
18 will provide one street tree per lot per frontage, so that
trees get established on Dennison Avenue as well as Stream
Court.
9. Details should be provided on the surface treatment along the
streetscape on Manhattan. Will this area be blue grass turf,
dryland grass mix, irrigated or non -irrigated? Please
specify.
10. Will there be a project identification sign? If so, please
specify the location, size, materials, etc.
11. Fencing will not be allowed to cross the 30 foot drainage and
utility easement along the southerly property line. The note
on the Preliminary P.U.D. should carry over onto the Final
P.U.D. site plan.
12. The "Typical Building Envelope" schematic that is on the plat
can be deleted since this information is on the P.U.D. site
plan.
13. The P.U.D. calls Manhattan an "Avenue" and the plat refers to
a "Drive". I believe "Avenue" is correct.
14. The vicinity map on the plat indicates the old County -approved
street layout. This should be updated. Also, the railroad,
tracks are owned by Burlington Northern, not Union Pacific.
Please add the location of Lopez Elementary and Troutman
Neighborhood Park on the vicinity map.
15. The rear property line of Lots 1 - 10, and the side lot line
of Lot 23 should not be crossed with driveway cuts for private
access off Manhattan to individual lots. Consequently, the
rear and side yard easements that are indicated on the plat
should also contain language that these easements are "non -
vehicular access". Also, please add a plat note that states:
"Per the City of Fort Collins, there shall be no direct
vehicular access to individual lots from Manhattan Avenue.
16. Both the plat and P.U.D. should provide easements and notation
that owners of zero lot line homes retain a "maintenance
easement" to paint, repair, etc., the exterior wall, gutters,
roof, etc. that are only accessible from the neighbor's side
yard.
17. Please indicate that the sign advertising future neighborhood
convenience shopping center will be installed with this First
Replat filing.
E
18. Comments from Stormwater Utility and other utilities will be
forthcoming from Kerrie Ashbeck.
