HomeMy WebLinkAboutSILVER OAKS PAIRED HOUSING PUD - FINAL - 14-88M - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSCommoy Planning and Environmentalo°ices Planning Department as City of Fort Collins April 28, 1994 Fredric J. Hattman Gefroh/Hattman Architects 145 W. Swallow Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Mr. Hattman, City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Silver Oaks Paired Housing PUD- Final, and offers the following written comments: 1. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. US West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Utilities Commission. 2. Telephone facilities generally occupy rear lot utility easements, which must be located on terrain which permits trenching operations. 3. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench, street crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities within the project, and the developer pays up front construction costs for facilities within the development. 4. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans will be paid for by the developer. 5. US WEST would require a utility easement across the east side of Lots 3 and 4. 6. Public Service asks you to consider 6' side lot easements so that one service can go in and branch to 2 paired housing units. You will need 13' minimum utility easements from back of walk to rear of easement. 7. Please include a note on the landscape plan that no trees are to be planted within 4' of any gas lines. 8. The north side of the private drive shall be signed "no parking" and the curb painted red to signify a fire lane. 2S1 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-b750 • 9. Please describe outer boundary monuments on the plat. There is an "out of place" bearing and distance on the south side of Lot 8. Include radii on all curves of the plat. Label the point of beginning. State the scale on the plat (1"=30' ?) 10. Include a note on the landscape plan stating that a free permit is needed from the City Forester prior to planting, removing, or pruning trees in the City right-of-way. 11. The City Parkland fee is currently $779.00 per dwelling unit and is collected at the time of building permit issuance. 12. Street oversizing fees are $584.00 per dwelling unit and are collected at the time of building permit issuance. 13. The community park to the west will have lighted facilities, heavy use, and high traffic volumes during peak use periods. Future home buyers should be made aware of this potential. 14. Parks and Recreation would like to discuss alternatives for providing bike access to the future park. Please contact Leslie Bryson. The question is whether there will be a bike lane painted onto Horsetooth Road along this property, or whether the sidewalk should be widened to accommodate both bikes and pedestrians. 15. According to staff s calculations, 14 of the 20 homes meet the solar definition, for a total of 70%. Please correct note #18. Or you could simply state that 80% of the lots meet the requirements of the solar orientation ordinance. Solar orientation information needs to be added to the plat, both in symbol form and as a note. 16. Please consider the location of the three blue spruce (PP) trees proposed for the area between the school yard and drive. These trees could eventually get too large for that space. Staff suggests that you trade these out for Pinon Pine (PE) which don't get so large. The same is true for the blue spruce proposed on the south side of the houses. These should be moved back towards the street. They will also shade the south side during winter months. 17. Street trees along Horsetooth Road should be spaced at 40' intervals, when they don't conflict with street lights. Staff would like to see additional trees along this street (4-5). 18. Typical setbacks or building envelops need to be specified on the site plan. 19. Add the word "depth" to the end of landscape note #2• Three drip emitters are needed for each tree, if used for trees. Wrapping should be removed in the spring. (see note #10) This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the May 23, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due May 6th by 8:30 am for Final Review (2 sets of plans), PMT's (one PMT of each plan sheet), colored renderings, and 8 prints are due May 16th. Final mylars and other documents are due as soon as possible following the hearing. Please be aware that the development agreement and utility plans must be signed prior to the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing, for all PUD1s. If not, a condition will be placed on the project giving you 30 days to finalise the plans and agreement, after which time, you must submit a request for an extension, to the Planning and Zoning Board. If you have any questions about these comments or would like to schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221- 6750.
