Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 C� i CONCEPTUAL MEETING DATE: June 14, 1993 ITEM: Paired Housing at Silver Oaks COMMENTS APPLICANT: Ken Scavo and Don Alber, Van Schaack & Company, 7730 East Belleview Avenue, Suite 200, Englewood, CO. 80111, c/o Ric Hattman, Gefroh-Hattman Inc., 145 West Swallow Road, Fort Collins, CO. 80525. LAND USE DATA: Request for 22 units on 3.85 acres located at the northwest corner of Auntie Stone Street and West Horsetooth Road. Units would be arranged in a duplex, or "paired housing" arrangement with zero lot line setback between structures. Unit sizes are about 1,400 square feet with detached, two -car garages on the opposite side of the interior private drive. COMMENTS: 1. Electrical power is available at the southeast corner of the site. Proper easements must be dedicated to install the electrical facilities. The developer may wish to consider the use of "blanket utility easements" located outside the building envelopes. Because of the existing 60 inch diameter water line, electrical facilities will be located behind the sidewalk. Please keep in mind that the front yard utility easement must be wide enough for Public Service Company The sideyard areas between structures should also be cons- iered utility easements for electrical facilities. Please coordinate with Light and Power on the location of the electrical transformer. For further information, please contact Alan Rutz, 221-6700. 2. The site can be served by an existing 8 inch diameter water main i9r Auntie Stone Street. . This line can be brought through the site and is available for individual services. Similarly, there is an existing sewer main in Auntie Stone that is available to serve this project. 3. A 20 inch diameter water main in Horsetooth Road will have to be extended to the west across the front of the project. The developer is obligated for one-half the "local portion" (8 inches) of this main. LJ • 4. Please be aware that the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District has an 18 inch diameter water line near this site. This line is within a 20 foot wide easement. 5. Please keep street trees 15 feet away from the existing 60 inch diameter water line that parallels Horsetooth Road. 6. The Poudre Fire Authority has concerns about cars parking in front of the garages and blocking the internal drive aisle, which also serves as the fire lane. This area should be signed: "No Parking - Fire Lane". Standard fire hydrant spacing will be required as well as standard turning radii in the drive aisle. 7. At this time, the Parkland Development Fee is $625 per unit, payable at the time of building permit issuance. This fee may go depending on action by City Council. The site plan should contain a note that states the homeowner's association is responsible for maintaining the landscaping located within the Horsetooth Road right-of-way. 8. 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, the amount of detention, and the runoff coefficient. A standard Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan are due at the time of submittal for P.U.D. 9. If the downstream detention pond built for Tri-Trend is to be enlarged, then the size of the orifice plate at the outlet may also need to be modified. For further information, please contact Kate Malers, 221-6589. 10. The original traffic impact analysis that indicated this parcel to be multi -family should be submitted as part of the P.U.D. documents. 11. The developer will be responsible for dedicating the necessary right-of-way and building Horsetooth Road to the arterial standard. Adjacent to the right-of-way, the developer must dedicate 15 feet for utilities. The developer's financial obligation is for one-half of the "local street portion" of this improvement. The balance is repaid back to the developer out of the City's Street Oversizing Fund. 12. Since the 60 inch water line is already installed, it is suggested that a utility coordination meeting take place with all the affected parties to discuss location and sequence of installation. 13. As part of the Horsetooth Road improvement, the developer must supply a Soils Report and show pavement design, profiles, and the necessary offsite information (in preliminary design form) to assure a smooth transition to the west. 14. A standard utility plan will be required. The Development Agreement, made between the City and the developer, will outline the repay agreement for improvements to Horsetooth Road. 15. Please contact Matt Baker, 221-6605, to see if there is any money due back to the developer for construction of Auntie Stone Drive. 16. The Street Oversizing Fee is $584 per dwelling unit, payable at the time of building permit issuance. 17. The P.U.D. site plan should indicate the number of lots/units that comply with the Solar Orientation Ordinance. 18. The concept of brick materials and berming along the south side of garages is a good idea and will benefit the arterial streetscape. A pedestrian connection out to the arterial sidewalk should be considered. 19. The P.U.D. should indicate the existing and proposed treatment (patio fencing) along the north property line. 20. A neighborhood meeting will be required.
