Hoagland Cityscape Urban Design Dennis Donovan Land Development Services Norcnan Whitehead Jr Engineering, LTD • NI'iramont Associates does not believe that they should be responsible for the crossing of mail creek or for paying for it. � Miramont Associates does not own the land to the south of there lots, this is owned by GT Land. This is the land to the north of mail creek and south of it to the section line. • 1Vliramont Associates proposed making a connection thru to Mail Creek Drive acid improv"ing this road to standards for the impacts. (Bill Neal stated that he understood the need for the connection to be made) • A new location for the crossing was proposed, This was based on a fields visit (involving City sta� after the erosion buffer limits were staked. The proposed location is between H'ighcastle Drive and the cul-de-sac to the east. • The question was raised as to if a box culvert could be used instead of placing a bridge across mail creek. Mike Grimm stated that this could be possible, it would require some sort of treatment upstream and down stream of the structure. � The last chapter of the stream stability study address the issue of items that could be done to increase the stability of the stream. These range from concreting the entire reach to the placing of structural material. � Miramont Associates stated that they would rather look at_ enhancing the mail creek than doing the bridge across mail creek. This was in reference to a conversation that evolved around the current condition of this creek. • Again the discussion went to making a connection from RomaValley to Mail Creek Drive was brought up. Jr Engineering, Cityscape and Vaught Fry will get together to look at possible configurations. At least three options will be produced, one showing the new crossing over Mail Creek and two others showing a connection from Roma Valley over to Mail Creek Drive. The conne+ction to Mail Creek Drive would look at the possibility of reconfiguring this road in front of the houses that front on this road (to the south of the connection) to provide them with some sort of a buffer so that they would not be as impacted. After these options are created they are going to submit them to the City for City review and comments. - � .. � � � These options will need to be taken to the Neighborhood. Therefore a neighborhood meeting is needed. This will need to be a meeting that covers a lot of different issues. Discussion need to occur regarding: The connection ofFossil Creek Parkway to the existing road through there neighborhood which is in dire need of upgrading; the means to how this road will be upgraded - neighborhood participation, Poudre R-1 parficipation? and City participation?; the inner connectivity between Miramont neighborhood, Huntington Hills and the old county sub. The neighborhood meeting will be held in June (mid to late). Will wait to schedule this meeting until after Nfiramont Valley has gone to the Planning and Zoning Board on May 20, 1996. This is so that they don't get a bunch of neighbors in protesting tliis project talking about the possible connection thru to Mail Creek Drive. They are going to provide the Row to the south for the possible creek crossing and phase the project so that they could make the cannection o� of Roma Valley to Mail Creek if that is the desired change by replating that portion of the project. Phase line will exist just to the south of the lots fronting on H'ighcastle Drive. They were wanting the Row to convert back to the home owners association (if the crossing was not made). The only way this could happen is if the homeowners owned a strip of land on each side of this Row, otherwise the Row would be divided between the adjacent lot owners. It was suggested by Ted Shepard that Miramont Associates and Marc Palcowitch go speak with the Fossil Creek homeowners association and present the street connection options prior to the formal neighborhood meeting. This would allow the horneowners association a chance to look at the configurations and a chance to digest them and formulate some questions ahead of time. The cunent schedule allows for this between the May P&Z meeting and the June neighborhood meeting. The following parties will need to be involved with the neighborhood meeting: Niiramont Associates ' Marc Palcowitch GT Land � Land Planners Private Engineers Poudre R-1 � Parks and Recreation Gary Diede Matt Baker City Planners City En�ineers City Stormwater (Flood Plain Administrator) An agenda will be created closer to the meeting date and will be distributed azound for all to see.
