HomeMy WebLinkAboutMIRAMONT VILLAGE PUD - FINAL - 54-87AJ - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTS� � April 12, 1996 Mr. Eldon Ward , Cityscape Urban Design, Inc. 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Dear Eldon, � Staffhas reviewed your submittal for the Miramont Village P.U.D., Final (#54-87A� and offers the following comments: I. - - - SI�'E PLAN COMIV�N'TS - - - A. P1an Comments: 1. The development I.D. sign at the entry appears to encroach upon the 300' sight distance easement Please shift the sign back far enough into the median to be behind the sight distance easement line (i.e., as shown on the landscape plan). 2. Please note that the pedestrian access gates will not be locked and that they will be handicap accessible. 3. Please align the 20' foot emergency access with the middle, east-west drive/street. In other words, please shift the 20' emergency access approximately ninety (90') feet to the north to align with the twenty feet of travel lane on the private drive. 4. Please place a ramp at the south end of the pedestrian walk that runs between lots 49 and SU. This new ramp should align with a ramp on the opposite side of the street 5. If lots 26, 27, 44, a.nd 46 are fenced, the fences will encroach upon the six (6') foot rear lot utility easements. To avoid the potential for conflict, please adjust these lot lines. 6. Please continue the four (4� foot walk which runs alongside lot 22 around the north side of the cul-de-sa.c so that it can be accessed without having to walk through the drive lane of the cul-de- sac. Please place a ramp at the end of this continued walk as well as an aligned ramp on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. 7. There is a ramp at the northeast corner of lot 38; this ramp does not seem to lead anywhere or align with anything. Thus, the described ramp is probably not necessary and can be removed from the plan. On the other hand, the ramp to the west of lot 52 is probably a good location for a ramp, but shauld have a ramp on the other side of the street (to the west) to align with (i.e., between lots 16 and 17). � � 8. In reference to the above comments numbered 2, 4, 6 and 7, I'm aware that these strcets will not have much tra�c and that it would not be very dangerous to walk in them, but should any handicapped people live in this development or visit it, their movement should be accommodated. �. Land Use �reakdown Comments: 1. Under "Minimum Pazking Provided," as there are no carports represented, please remove the word "carpoR." 2. Under "Setbacks," please clarify language of the 20' front setback note/description. C. t=eneral Notes Comments: 1. As agreed to dwing Preliminary review, please remove the "on average" part of note #9, That is, Note #9 should read as follows: "Homes will achieve an energy score rating of Cr80 or better." . 2. Please add a note stating that all private drives have public access easement on them (as done bn the plat). II. - - - LANDSCAPE PLAN COMII�NTS - - - 1. Please provide an inset/blow up detailing the landscaping on and along the retaining wall (north of lots 2'7-30). - 2. Please double check the coaelation of the quantities shown on the I.andscape Breakdown and those represented on the actual plan, and adjust any discrepancies accordingly. 3. Please provide for trees in the portion,of the median in Southridge Greens Boulevard that is within the property of this development. 4. Note number 14, under Plant Notes, calls for construction phases. If phases are planned, it is necessary to indicate/delineate the proposed phase lines on the site plan and landscape plan. 5. Please add the following note to the Plant Notes: "All underground utilities shall be located before landscape development." III. - - - COD'IIVIENTS �'ItOM OTHER REVIEWING DF.PARTMENTS - - - A. Enginecring: 1. See attached comments. �. Stormwat�r: 1. See attached comments. C. Zoning• 1. Stall lengths for "on lane" parlcing is required to be a minimum of twenty-three (23') feet for standard vehicles and nineteen (19') feet for compact vehicles; plans indicate stall leng�ths of twenty-one (21 � feet.

Please draft a note about the restrictions in the sight distance easement(s). 4. How large is the easement along the east line of lots 38 and 39? 5. Since this PUD will have onlyone address, the lots may need to be renumbered to facilitate the finding of the units (i.e., for emergency response). E. Fort Co9lins-Lov�land Water District: 1. See attached comrnents. F. Building Inspechons: 1. See attached comments. G. Public Service Company: 1. There is a concern that fourteen (14') foot building setbacks from rear edges of sidewalks will cause water stop boxes to be greater than one (1� foot from the rear edge of the easernent, thereby reducing clearances from stop boxes to gas lines to less than the four (4� foot standard. H. Poudre Fire Aut6ority: 1. The concrete portion of the Fire Lane is to be twelve (12') feet wide, with fow (4� feet of grasscrete on each side. The Fire Department prefers gravel or asphalt to grasscrete; if this preference can be accommoda.ted, please do so. I. Police: 1. The street to the narth of this complex is shown as "Roxborough." This street name needs to be changed as an "Oxborough" already eXists. J. US West: 1. US West requires additional easements as discussed with Tricia KTaetch (sp?) on 3/25/96.
