Dear Ted;
Attached are 5 sets of prints of the Preliminary Site and
Landscape Plans for Woodridge PUD indicating revisions made in
response to Staff Comments. Specific responses include:
•
1 . Water District review of development plans and access to
the existing 8" line will be accommodated per the filed
easement across the subject property. A note has been
added to the Preliminary Site and Landscape Plan
indicating that trees will be kept a minimum of 10' from
the 8" line.
2 ,3 . Final plats and landscape plans will be coordinated with
gas lines and other utilities as requested.
4 . The applicant will meet with Light and Power when their
plans have been better defined.
5. It is the applicant 's understanding that improvements to
Taft Hill along the old land fill site are the
responsibility of the adjacent property owner, and the
City of Fort Collins (for oversizing) . The required
improvements to Taft Hill north of the old land fill , and
the extensive improvements to Harmony Road through
Woodridge represent a substantial burden to the subject
property; and we do not feel that additional off-site
improvements to Taft Hill can be borne by this project.
6. We have looked at the site distance needs at the
locations indicated in the Staff Comments, and will
provide sight easements and minor design modifications
with final plats as needed.
7. Final plats will deal with the Harmony Road right-of-way
as required.
8. Right-of way widths have been added to the plat as
requested.
•
9 . Landscape design on the inside curves along Harmony will
be coordinated with sight distance requirements with
final plans, as needed.

10. Harmony Road medians have been modified as requested.
11 . The requested ramps have been added.
12. Final drainage and grading plans will show the correct
drainage tracts between lots, per the site plan.
13. Construction responsibility regarding the pedestrian path
has been noted on the plans.
14. Fire hydrant spacing on the utility plans has been
checked to meet the standard spacing. Further
coordination with PFA will occur with final plans.
15. CR38E - illustrating the alignment with the extension of
Harmony Road - has been added to the Preliminary Plan as
requested.
16. Notes and labels regarding the pedestrian paths have been
added to the plans as requested.
17. Goodell , Lynda, and Royal Streets have been labeled on
the plans.
18. There are no plans to construct a path over the 60" water
line along the north property line. As agreed with the
water utility at the time the line was constructed, the
area will be treated as landscaped open space, with trees
a minimum of 10' from the water line. The area will
provide a "greenbelt" access for residents going to the
park and school .
19. The small median at the Taft Hill Brixton intersection is
designed to mirror the existing median on the west side
of the street . This median was included on the plan as
a result of an initial coordination meeting with the
Traffic and Streets Staff in mid 1990.. It is our
understanding that without this median, travel lanes
crossing Taft Hill cannot be properly aligned.
Ten sets of prints, a colored plan, and 8 1/2 X 11 reductions
will be submitted by January 20, 1992, and Final Documents will be
submitted by January 23 for the January 27 , 1992 Planning and
Zoning Board Meeting.
Sincerely,
Eldon Ward, President
