How tall can the buildings be? Specific building heights are not defined at the master plan level. Another neighborhood meeting will be held prior to the submission of a specific development plan, so that you will have an opportunity to comment on site plan and building design. In general the City has a height limitation of 40 feet. When developers propose buildings taller than 40 feet, the following special review criteria are used to evaluate the building: community scale, views, light and shadow, privacy and neighborhood scale. 2. Does the Master Plan assume the surrounding area will be annexed? No. The Master.. Plan has no direct effect on annexation of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is within the Urban Growth Area as defined by the City and the County. It is anticipated that ultimately all the land within the Urban Growth Area boundary will be within the City limits. 3. How close will the project be to Solar Drive? The Master Plan indicates a landscape buffer between proposed commercial development and Skyway Acres Subdivision. The exact width of the buffer will be determined when preliminary site plans are submitted for review. You will have another opportunity to comment at that time. Page 2 • • 4. Do you plan to save the trees? Mature cottonwood trees along the Louden Ditch will be preserved. 5. Why plan for more office and retail space when there are so many vacan- cies? It is anticipated that the market place will change and that there will be a demand for quality office and retail space in this location within the next ten years. Development of the Master Plan will most likely occur in phases responding to market demand. 6. It's difficult to comment on a Master Plan without more detail. A master plan is the first step in the review process. It sets expectations for land use and for traffic circulation. When preliminary site plans are proposed you will have another opportunity to comment. 7. Will the frontage road continue through this 01 development? No. Major vehicle circulation will be a horse -shoe shaped public street connecting to College Avenue at two intersections, with a link to Trilby Road. 8. Will there be access onto Skyway? There is already too much traffic on Skyway and the same problem exists on Trilby. Minor access is proposed off of Skyway Drive. The applicant is required to do a traffic analysis as part of the development review process. Comments regarding acceptable levels of traffic on Skyway Drive and Trilby Road will be addressed after the traffic analysis is reviewed. 9. What are the advantages to being annexed? One difference .,between developing in the City versus the County is that in the City, this development would be reviewed against the criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM rather than zoning regula- tions. The City system gives the developer more flexibility in developing their property as long as the project conforms to certain criteria designed to protect the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the people of Fort Collins. On the other hand, development standards are generally higher. City electrical rates are significantly lower than REA. 10. Will the development be provided with City services? The City will provide electrical service. Water and sewer service will continue to be provided by Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Wastewater District. 11. Will the developer submit design guidelines for development at the -Master Plan level? Design guidelines for development are generally not a requirement for master plans submitted with first phase preliminary plans. Page 3 • I.! 12. We are concerned about truck traffic on Skyway. See No. 8. 13. Will the project be phased? Development of Parcel A is expected to occur this year. Remaining parcels will develop in response to market demand. 14. The Louden Ditch lateral is very important. Home owners use it for irrigation water. Concerns about the Louden Ditch, water shares and usage will be addressed during the development review process. 15. How many water shares go with the property? Two water shares go with the property. Trhe developer may use irrigation water from the Ditch. 16. Has the land been sold? Will the farmer be gone? The land has been sold. The land will be leased to the farmer until phased development occurs. 17. Will there be a fence between development and adjacent properties? This issue will be addressed when specific development plans are reviewed. 18. We have a concern about auto dealerships and hours of operation. This issue will be addressed when specific development plans are reviewed. 19. Will land uses be limited? Could another "Kangaroo Storage" go in on this property? The Master Plan lists storage facilities as a specific use which may be proposed in the future. The City would evaluate the proposal against the criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM. 20. What is the plan for the corner at College and Trilby? The Master Plan indicates a "Retail Center" at this corner. 21. Will the proposed access points on College Avenue have matching access points on the east side of College? The City is in the process of preparing a South College Access -Plan which will address this issue. It is anticipated that the plan will be complete in 3 or 4 inonths:""�" -._ �... -- _ _. __...., __ _ . --, �,m,_. _. 22. How would site development be phased? Would all the roads go in with the first phase? Pagc 4 • • Parcel A is designated as Phase One. This project shows two access points off of Skyway Drive. (See No. 13) 23. Large showroom type uses would require significant grading. Are these uses really appropriate for this site? This issue will be evaluated when a specific development plan is proposed. 24. What rights/power does the neighborhood have? The City requires informal meetings between neighborhoods, developers and City staff on development projects perceived as having significant neigh- borhood impact. Within the participation framework, citizens delineate neighborhood values, goals and objectives and they participate in the approval and modification of project plans. 25. What will be done to protect the natural resources of the site? The two natural low lying areas created bLy the rolling terrain arc retained as passive open space areas conducive to wildlife and useable as storm water detention areas. 26. We don't want our property annexed. What can we do to prevent it? The annexation of this parcel of land does not directly effect the annexa- tion of your property. The City of Fort Collins will consider annexation of any property which satisfies the eligibility requirements of the Statutes of the State of Colorado and the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. For the purposes of most annexation requests, the City shall consider eligible properties which meet the following general criteria. a. Not less than one sixth of the perimeter of the area proposed to be annexed is contiguous to the City of Fort Collins municipal boundary. b. The area to be annexed is within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. This site meets both criteria. Annexation will enable the City to plan for utility extensions and street improvements and it will give the City sonic control over the quality of development on this site. If you are opposed to the annexation, you have the opportunity to voice your concerns before the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council at public hearings. The first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances is scheduled for City Council May 3, 1988. The Planning and Zoning Board will make its recommendation on the annexation and zoning request May 23, 1988 and City Council will hold a public hearing and second reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances June 7, 1988. These dates may change. You can find out about new meeting dates by checking- the public notice section of the Coloradoan or by calling the Planning Department. 27. Is a regional mall a possibility for this location? As far as we know, there are no plans for a regional mall at this location. Page 5 • 0 28. Is there a demand for development of this type? There are several different specific land uses listed on the Master Plan as potential future development. The demand for each particular use varies and is constantly changing. The developer's proposed land uses respond to what they perceive the market demand to be today as well as anticipation of what it will be five or ten years from now. 29. What assurances do we have that there will be tenants to fill the space? Only that in the free enterprise system it does not make economic sense to build tenant space when there is no demand for it. 30. Will the Fort Collins Loveland Water District change their rates as a result of this project? Will development affect our water pressure? The Fort Collins Loveland Water District indicates that rates and water pressure will not be affected by this development. 31. Will power lines be underground? Yes. 32. How can we stop this annexation. See No. 26. 33. Why would the City allow this type of development in this location, when they are trying to encourage development downtown? The City is doing a number of things to encourage development in the Downtown, but it is not the City's policy to discourage development in other parts of the community. 34. We are concerned about construction operations dragging out over a long period of time. The development will be phased over a period of several years. Individual construction projects within the development must be complete prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 35. What will the zoning be? The requested zoning is BP -Planned Business, with a planned unit develop- ment condition. This zoning designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide business services while still protecting surrounding residential neighborhoods. 36. Drainage problems exist on Skyway Drive. Existing culverts don't drain. This concern will be addressed during the development review process. 37. Who is the property owner? Page 6 0 • Timan Land Company, 2200 E. River Road, Suite 123, Tucson, AZ 85718 38. What will happen to the wildlife that exists on the property now? See No. 25. 39. Will this development be using irrigation water from the ditch? See No. 15. 40. We would like to see the project completed within a reasonable period of time, including landscaping. See No. 34. 41. Make the project nice looking; quiet and keep the traffic moving. The City's development review process is sensitive to these issues. 42. Is the development east of College in the city? No. 43. What will this project do for our neighborhood. Why should we support it? This project will develop the land to City standards of streets, utility services and planned land uses. The project is subject to the City Master Plan and Planned Unit Development review procedures. Support for this project will mean the chance for a better quality planned project as your neighbor, rather than something that might be done under the County's review procedures. As an example, flea market strip development could be repeated under County review procedures. It is not the this developer's intent to do this. 44. Will our property values go up or down? This is a judgement call, and is not part of the City's review process. 45. What is the existing County zoning on the property? C-Commercial and FA -Farming. 46. Who will be responsible for plowing the streets in the winter? The City is responsible for plowing City streets. Downtown areas, arterials and collector streets are given first priority. Local streets are generally not plowed. 47. Will you sell off individual parcels to other developers? Individual parcels may be sold off, as serviced lots with streets and utilities in place. All development will be controlled by the City's Master Plan and Planned Unit Development review procedures. Page 7 • 0 48. If sales don't go well, will Timan Land Company develop the property? Yes, that is a possibility. 49. If this Master plan doesn't generate interest in the development community will you revise it? In order to amend the Master Plan the developer will have to go through the same development review process and have the change approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. 50. The quality of the development will be better if it develops in the City rather than in the County because of more restrictive development requirements. 51. Does the city have landscape design guidelines for buffering different types of land uses? The Land Development Guidance System requires that all planned unit developments meet certain landscape design objectives. Those landscape objectives include street trees, visual screening of parking and loading areas, buffers between different land uses, building foundation plantings and general aesthetics. 52. Is the City involved in the development of this property? No. 53. Would the property develop in the County if the City didn't annex the property? The property is destined for development, whether in the City or County. A better quality project may result under City guidelines for development. 54. Will any of this development drain to the west? IM 55. Will the project have a start and completion date? See No. 13. 56. When Trilby Road is widened and additional right of way is required, which side will the additional right of way be taken from? Trilby Road is designated an arterial street in the City of Fort Collins. City arterial standards indicate a 70 foot pavement width within a 100 foot right of way. The right of way is typically acquired in equal portions from both sides. However, this is not always the case. The situation along Trilby Road will be evaluated when it is widened. Which side the right of way comes from has not been decided.
