Dear Phil,
Staff has reviewed the revisions for the Park South P.U.D., 3rd Replat, Preliminary and
Final that were submitted on November 22, 1996, and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. The Current Planning Department offers the following comments:
a. The proposed six foot shadow-box fence along Horsetooth Road must be
modified. The fence may be 6 feet up to the front building line of Lots 140,
141, 162, 163, 183, and 184. However, the fence should taper to a height
of 4 feet from the front building lines of the lots to the sidewalk connections
at the ends of each cul-de-sac.
b. The proposed location of the fence along Horsetooth Road and Manhattan
Drive leaves a strip of each of the adjacent lots outside of the fence
(between the fence and the back of the sidewalk). Staff is concerned about
the maintenance of this area. Since a homeowner's association is required
for the maintenance of the detention pond, Staff suggests that the applicant
designate the strip between the fence and the back of the sidewalk as a
separate tract that is to be maintained by the homeowner's association.
Please add notes to the Site Plan and Plat which state that maintenance of
this area (tract) is the responsibility of the homeowner's association.
C. Maintenance of the perimeter fence is a concern that was raised by adjacent
property owners to the west at the neighborhood meeting in March. Staff
suggests that the perimeter fence on the north (Horsetooth), east
(Manhattan) and west (Four Seasons) boundaries be maintained by the
homeowner's association. Please delete the words "or other approved type
of fencing", and add the word fence to Note 3 on the Plat. Please add the
following sentence to Notes 2 and 3 of the Site Plan and Note 3 on the Plat:
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750
FAX (970) 221-6378 • TDD (970) 224-6002
� J
"Maintenance of the fence will be the responsibility of the Park South
3rd Replat Homeowner's Association."
d. The City prefers that the homeowner's association be responsible for snow
removal along Horsetooth Road,. Manhattan . Drive and the sidewalk
connections at the ends of the- cul-de-sacs, rather than individual lot owners.
Please delete note 6 on the Site Plan and add notes to the Site Plan and the
Plat which state that snow removal in these areas will be the responsibility
of the homeowner's association.
e. Lots 118 and 189 also qualify as solar oriented lots. This raises the total of
solar oriented lots to 21. However, only 29% (21 of 73) of the single family
lots conform to the definition of a "solar oriented lot". This information should
be reflected in the Land Use Data on the Site Plan. All -Development Criteria
A-1.1 requires that 65% of the single-family lots less than 15,000 square feet
to conform to the definition of "solar oriented lot". The applicant must submit
justification for a variance to All -Development Criteria A-1.1 for staff review.
Variance Procedures are outlined in Section 29-526 (K) of the LDGS (page
108).
f. Please delete the note regarding "Lot Trees" on the Landscape Plan. The
species and quantity (80) of these trees must -be reflected in the Plant List as
this is a Preliminary/Final PUD.
g: A utility coordination meeting has been held regarding this meeting. Please
revise all plans in accordance with the decisions made during that ,meeting.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be
forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this
request.
Please be aware of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on
schedule for the January 27, 1997 Planning and Zoning Board hearing:
Plan revisions are due by 12:00 noon on January 8, 1997. Please contact me for the
number of folded revisions required for each document.
No revisions will be reviewed after the above deadline. If revisions are not received
by this date, the item will either go to the Planning and Zoning Board with a staff
recommendation based on the originally submitted documents or the applicant will
have the option to continue the item to the next month's P&Z agenda.
PMT's, renderings, -and 8 folded copies of final revisions are due by 12:00 noon'on
January 21,.1997.
Please contact me at 221-6206 if you have any questions or concerns related to these
comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with you as soon as possible, if necessary,
to discuss these comments.
Sincerely,
Michael Ludwig
