CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: March 14, 1988
ITEM: Mountain Park Homes
APPLICANT: Fort Collins Housing Authority, 1715 West Mountain Ave., Fort
Collins, CO 80521
LAND USE DATA: Request to replace 19 existing trailers with 4 six-plexes or
2 twelve-plexes modular homes.
COMMENTS:
1. Adequate power is available from the existing over head facility in the
alley. Services will need to be placed underground and there will probably
be some development charges. Easements may be needed. (Light and Power)
2. There is an existing 3/4 " and a 1" water line. It may be necessary for a
new water service line or a combination of the two existing lines to provide
water service to the project. Sewer service is available. Development fees
will apply if you increase the size of service. (Water and Sewer)
3. The site is located in the Old Town Storm Drainage Basin and there are no
fees, but there will be monthly O and M fees in the future. A drainage
report will be needed for the application submittal. (Storm Drainage)
4. It is questionable if the width of the alley will meet fire access require-
ments. 20' is the normal width. Please contact Warren Jones, Poudre Fire
Authority, at 221-6570 for further information. (Fire)
5. Be careful to avoid rated construction. Building Inspection Staff suggests a
preliminary review of the plans to insure* that all building code require-
ments will be met. You will need to provide handicapped accessible units.
Full development fees will be required at the time of obtaining building
permits. (Building Inspection)
6. The alley will need to be improved ,-or vacating it may be a possibility.
Driveways need to be handicapped accessible. A utility plan is needed at
the time of submitting the application. (Engineering)
7. City parking lot standards will need to be met. Damaged sidewalks will need
to be replaced by the developer. (Engineering)

8. A traffic study is needed, but it does not need to be cxtcnsiN-c. Staff leas
some concern with the number of curb cuts on Bryan, one access on Bryan
would be more efficient. One space per bedroom seems appropriate. (Trans-
portation)
9. On your site plan please show existing trees and major plantings. (Natural
Resources)
10. Staff would like to see some special consideration for the existing lighting
and some upgrading. (Police)
11. There are two different options for you to pursue for review approval. A
PUD or a Non -Conforming Use Review. I have attached both requirements
for your information. (Zoning)
12. A neighborhood meeting is needed and must take place prior to the applica-
tion submittal. (Planning)
