Collins May 19, 1995. Cathy Mathis Vaught -Frye Architects' 1113 Stoney Hill Drive Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Cathy, Staff has reviewed your documents for the Cottages at Miramont P.U.D., Phase VI - Final (A portion of Parcels P & g of the Amended Oak/Cottonwood O.D.P.) that were submitted to the City on. April 24, 199-5, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. A copy of the comments received from U.S.West is attached to this letter. 2. An additional fire hydrant will have to be located on the project site. The hydrant should be located along the private street near the entryway and must be capable of providing fire flows of 1,000 gallons per minute with 20 pounds per square inch residual pressure. 3. Tract A is shown as an access, utility and drainage easement on the subdivision plat. Where does the access to the site come from, however? 4. The outer boundary monuments must be described on the subdivision plat. 5. Comments received from the Water/Wastewater Department are included on a red -lined Landscape Plan that is being forwarded to Vaught -Frye with this letter and are included on a red - lined set of utility plans that have been forwarded to Shear Engineering with City engineering comments. 6. A copy of the comment sheet received from Jim Clark, the City's Water Conservation Specialist is attached to this letter. 7. A copy of the comments received from the Stormwater Utility is attached to this letter. 8. A copy of the comments received from the Engineering Department is attached to this letter. 281 North College 'Avenue • P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 22:-6750 FAX (303) 221-6378 TDD (303) 224-6002 9. The median at the entry in the private street is to be maintained by a Homeowner's Association. This should be noted. on the Site and Landscape Plans. 10. In the event that the streets should ever become public streets, the trees should be planted back off of the right-of- way. 11. The walks that connect off -site should be built (to the property line, at least) with this project, if possible. This will provide. for pedestrian/bicycle access to the future neighborhood parksite, Miramont Park, since no vehicular traffic is provided to the park. The neighborhoods are really 'enclaves' and this sidewalk should be built. 12. When and how will the emergency access for this development, north through the fitness and tennis center, be built? 13. This site is very tight from a utility service standpoint. It may be necessary to schedule a utility coordination meeting if it is determined that locations must be clarified. 14. No street cross -sections were submitted with this final P.U.D. utility plans. 15. Rule Drive is to be a private drive west od a cul-de-sac that is to be or was built east of this project site. A plat note must be added stating that this developer will be responsible for the maintenance of the private portion of Rule Drive.. 16. The final elevations show 3 representative architectural styles for the Cottages at Miramont. Ideally, a good mix of the styles, possibly including a few more, should be provided for the 16 units. 17. There is concern about no internal sidewalks along the private streets. Understandably, the preliminary was approved without sidewalks but is this the best and safest solution? Sidewalks could be added without changing the layout and density of the development. This completes. the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware of the following datesand deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the June 26, 1995 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due no later than the end of the working day, June 8, 1995. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document. PMT's, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on June 19, 1995.
