Dear Mike:
(File: 9230LTI)
It is proposed that the Upper Meadow at Miramont have 28 foot
streets on four cul-de-sacs. According to the Fort Collins
Design Criteria and Standards for Streets, this street width
will require a variance by the City of Fort Collins.
The reasons for requesting/granting this variance are listed
below:
The streets will have less than 750 ADT on them. The
longest street is Sawgrass Court, which will have 18
dwelling units and generate 180 vehicle trips on an
average weekday. The other street volumes will be
significantly less than this.
- All the streets which are proposed to be 28 feet wide are
cul-de-sacs.
- None of the streets are accessed from an arterial street.
- Lot lines are somewhat staggered on opposite sides of the
streets. It is not likely that the homes would face each
other across the street.
- One side of the street can be signed as "NO PARKING."
However, I recommend allowing parking on both sides of
the street. There will be four or more off-street.
parking spaces per dwelling unit. In making observations
of a similar type residential area (Clarendon Hills along
z Hinsdale Drive), the average number of vehicles parked
$; on Hinsdale was 3 in a length of 1300 feet. In my
z judgment, on -street parking in Miramont would be similar.
z This amount of on -street parking would present no traffic
11J or safety concerns with parking on both sides of the
� street given the anticipated volumes.
v
Z I recommend that the subject streets (Sandreed Court,
Switchgrass Court, Sawgrass Court, and Bulrush Court) in the
Upper Meadow at Miramont be 28 feet wide (curb to curb). I
c further recommend that parking be allowed on both sides of the
n street, if at least four off-street parking spaces are
provided per dwelling unit.
Sincerely_
acc
