LAND USE DATA: Request for 108 townhome units divided among 18 six-plex buildings on 11.7 acres. Units would be two-story. Each unit would have one garage space and one parking lot space. This area is part of the Miramont Third Filing Preliminary P.U.D. COMMENTS: 1. Electrical power is available in Highcastle and Boardwalk. You are encouraged to coordinate with Light and Power on the electrical needs of the project and the location of the transformer. Normal development charges will apply. Please be cautioned that charges may be increased in 1995 by approximately 4%. An increase in development charges must be. approved by City Council. 2. There are two water mains available to serve the 'property. There is a 16 inch diameter main in Boardwalk, and an eight inch diameter- main Highcastle. These mains should be looped to provide the best service to the project. 3. Both Boardwalk and Highcastle feature eight inch diameter sewer mains that can serve the site. For further information on repays, tap fees, etc.,, please call Roger Buffington, Water and Wastewater Engineer, 221-6681. 4. All units must be within 400 feet of a fire hydrant. All exterior portions of all buildings must be within 150 feet of an approved fire access roadway. Turning radii in the private drives must allow for fire equipment. This usually means 20 foot inside and 40 foot outside radii. 5. The developer should be aware that the City of Fort Collins has purchased a neighborhood park across Boardwalk.

COMMUNITY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 NORTH COLLEGE P.O.BOX 580 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522-0580 (303)221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT 6. The present parkland development fee is $779 per unit payable at the time of building permit. issuance. This fee could increase by the approximate rate of the 1994 consumer price. index (4%) in 1995. This increase would require an action by City Council. 7. The site is located in the McClelland -Mail Creek Drainage Basin. The storm drainage fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre, subject to the amount of impervious surface the stormwater detention. A Drainage Report, Grading and Drainage Plan, and Erosion Control Plan are required at the time of submittal. 8. The detention pond at the. northwest corner of Lemay and Boardwalk is the outfall for this property. This pond is not in finished form. The next project in Miramont must finish this pond. The pond may need to be resized and. the outlet relocated to accommodate additional development upstream. 9. At this time, the outlet of the pond is plugged with sediment. When this blockage is cleared, there may be a release downstream which may cause a problem for Oak Ridge. Work on the pond should be coordinated with Oak Ridge in advance to avoid problems. Erosion control in Miramont will be very important to prevent future blockages. Please coordinate with Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility, 221-6589. 10. Transportation is concerned that suitable access be preserved on Boardwalk, not Lemay, for the out parcel located to the east. 11. The traffic study for Miramont needs to be updated to account for the increase in density over patio homes. In addition, the operation of the driveway/Boardwalk intersections should be investigated. Stacking for eastbound left turns on .Boardwalk should not back up to block potential intersections. The traffic engineering consultant should contact Tom Vosburg, Transportation Planner, to discuss the scope of the traffic impact analysis. 12. A sidewalk must be constructed along Boardwalk. The walk should be a minimum of four feet wide and detached from the curb by a minimum of 4.5 feet. This detached area should be treated with street trees planted on 40 foot centers, with ,proper clearance for streetlights. Sidewalks may meander out of the right-of-way as long as they are within an dedicated access easement. 13. Approval from the Ditch Company will be required. Please coordinate early with Ditch Company.representatives. 14. The Street Oversizing Fee is $584 per unit, payable at the time of building permit issuance. 15. Utility Plans will be required with P.U.D. submittal. 16. A neighborhood information meeting will be required.
