Woodridge (Arapahoe Farm) PUD, Phase 1. Preliminary - 035-87B.
Member Strom stated his concern was the liability of the landscape maintenance on the common
open space, being relatively small and outside the fence for most of the homeowners. He did
not want to make a big issue at this point but would suggest a second condition to the effect
that the liability of the proposed landscape scheme for the common open space shall be
demonstrated prior to approval of the final PUD.
Member O'Dell asked if Member Strom was asking for evidence of a Homeowners Association
that would be prepared to do this.
Member Strom replied that we have language in the LDGS to the effect that they have to
demonstrate liability of the homeowner's association and or some other landscape maintenance
scheme for open space. He wanted to make that explicit so that we have some specific
consideration of it when we approve it on final. The language in the staff report indicates that
a homeowner's association was not the way they intended to go. He wanted them to
demonstrate for their consideration at final that it is a viable approach.
Eldon Ward of Cityscape Urban Design asked if there was something in particular that
separated this project landscaping from all of the others that had been approached in the past.
Member Strom replied his concern was that this is a very small area of common landscaping
and they had some discussion at worksession on Friday about incentives for a homeowners
association to function for such a small purpose. They did not seem to have any disagreement
on the staggered fencing and the additional landscaping along the street was a good idea. The
main question was whether homeowners would continue to have the incentive to maintain it
and to charge themselves to do that.
Mr. Ward replied as they knew part of the other phases have extensive greenbelt.
Member Strom moved for approval of Woodridge Phase 1, Preliminary PUD with two conditions.
One is noted in the Staff report regarding maintenance of the median and the second to the
effect that the liability of the proposed landscape maintenance scheme for the common open
space shall be demonstrated prior to approval of the final PUD.
Member O'Dell seconded the motion.
Mr. Eckman, Assistant City Attorney called their attention to page 57, sub -paragraph J of the
LDGS, which does require and provide that the Developer shall submit a legal instrument
setting forth a plan, providing permanent care and maintenance of open spaces, recreational
az eas and community owned facilities and parking lots. It goes on to say that if the common
open space is deeded to a homeowners association then the applicant shall file the proposed
documents governing the association. That is the protection to insure that there will be an
association formed that has the power to collect money to maintain this.
Motion passed 5-0.
Arbor Plaza. Backvard Burp-ers (Pad 3), PUD - Final - #137-80G.
Member Klataske stated his concern was with the color of the awning in that particular center.
We have Wal-Mart with a brown building and the blue accent stripe around that, the audio shop
has a blue roof. Pizza Hut has a brown roof. What restrictions, deed restrictions, or PUD
conditions were there for color schemes. His concern was the green awning and that was
getting away from color scheme of the center.
Ms. Whetstone, project planner, replied that in the PUD for the Arbor Plaza there was some
wording that the structures and buildings would be compatible in color and materials. The
proposed building will be beige and carry that theme through. The blue stripe in the center
has been very greatly carried through in the Soundtrack blue roof. The red roof at the Pizza
Hut was a board decision and changed to brown. What she sees with this Backyard Burgers was
there was no roof per se, it is basically a flat roof. Staff saw the awning as a sign element and
it was very small compared to Soundtrack or Pizza Hut. When she was out there she took some
pictures of Pro Golf with large green lettering. There are some other colors out there in the
signage element. In the center itself, the buildings are a beige stucco, which this will be, with
a blue accent.
