Belleview Avenue, Englewood, CO. 80111 c/o Mr. Ric Hattman, Gefroh-Hattman, Inc., 145 West Swallow Road, Fort Collins, CO. 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request to amend the Silver Oaks Overall Development Plan to replace a designated multi -family area with 14 patio homes on five acres, west of Taft Hill Road and south of Bronson Drive. COMMENTS: 1. Electrical facilities are available north of Bronson Street and at the corner of Horsetooth and Taft Hill. These facilities are available to serve the site. 2. Both water and sewer mains are installed in Bronson, Horsetooth, and Taft Hill. Please be reminded that the intersection of Horsetooth and Taft Hill has been recently constructed with a new concrete surface and that cutting these streets for secondary mains or services may be discouraged. 3. The Uniform Building Code will require the common wall between units to be rated for fire construction, if this common wall represents the property line. 4. The Parkland Development Fee is presently $625 per unit, payable at the time of building permit issuance. This fee is subject to change by action of the City Council. 5. The homeowner's association must assume the obligation for maintenance of the landscaped areas adjacent to the arterial streets, including those portions in the public right-of-way. 6. The site is located in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Basin Fee is $1,804 per acre, subject to the amount of impervious surface, amount of detention and the runoff coefficient. The drainage system should be consistent with the approve Drainage and Grading Plan for Silver Oaks. Onsite detention will be required. i 7. Storm flows can be directed to the 15 inch diameter pipe which then directs flows under Taft Hill Road and into the Rossborough swale. Storm flows cannot be released into the street. 8. At the time of submittal, a Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan, meeting the City's submittal requirements, must accompany the P.U.D. documents. 9. The proposed right-in/right-out on Taft Hill Road must comply with the Silver Oaks Overall Development Plan. The traffic study should determine whether a right turn bay will be needed. Since the corner is no longer a neighborhood service center, but has been reduced to a neighborhood convenience shopping center, the issue of whether the right-in/right-out is necessary must be revisited and subject to further discussion. 10. The east -west internal street should be designed to discourage "cutting through" for drivers trying to avoid the light at the Horsetooth/Taft Hill intersection. 11. Internal streets serving double -loaded patio homes should be constructed to the 36 feet wide standard residential street. If the internal streets are to be private, the City will request that they be built to public standards and specifications. 12. The travel lanes in the north -south internal street should align with the travel lanes in the public street to the north. 13. As conceptually indicated, the angle points on the internal streets do not meet standard curvature and would need to be modified at the time of submittal. 14. Sidewalks along the arterials would be detached. Sidewalks along local public streets and internal streets could be attached. Sidewalks along arterials are eligible for partial reimbursement from the City. 15. Residential units are subject to the Street Oversizing Fee of $584 per unit, payable at the time of building permit issuance. 16. The commercial uses are subject to the Street Oversizing Fee of $14,005 per net acre, payable at the time of building permit issuance. 17. At the time of submittal, the application must include a Utility Plan meeting the standards of the Engineering Department. 0 • 18. The commercial uses are subject to the newly adopted Neighborhood Commercial Sign District chapter of the Sign Code. 19. The change on the O.D.P. from Multi -Family to Patio Homes must be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. Patio homes are not considered a multi -family housing type but they do contribute to the mix of housing types. The Staff and the P & Z Board are very concerned about amending O.D.P. 's to reduce density. A recent request to convert Multi -Family to Single Family was denied by the P & Z Board on May 24, 1993. If this portion of the O.D.P. is to convert to Patio Homes, then the applicant may wish to consider finding other areas on the O.D.P. for Multi -Family. 20. Patio Homes are subject to the requirements of the Solar Orientation Ordinance. 21. The Poudre Fire Authority will require that emergency vehicle access, water supply, and fire hydrant spacing meet the minimum standards of the Fire Code.
