Dear Debbie:
The planning objectives for Ponderosa Park P.U.D. — Amended are as follows:
Because of an over abundance of four—plex lots in Fort Collins and, there—
fore a difficult market for the lots, Mr. Martin desires to amend the P.U.D.
to provide single family detached patio homes. Mr. Martin feels there is a
need for small starter homes in West Fort Collins. The number of units was
reduced from 24 units to 20 units which he feels has a positive impact on the
neighborhood. The traffic impact on Ponderosa Drive and West Mulberry Street
will be reduced.
All of the utilities and the curb and gutter for the cul de sac have
been constructed. Therefore one of the objectives was to utilize these major
improvements. After consultation with the City of Fort Collins planning staff,
it was decided to dedicate the cul de sac, to be known as Ponderosa Court.
The cul de sac will be upgraded to provide City of Fort Collins standard
pavement thicknesses, pavement widths and sidewalks. The parking and land—
scaping in the cul de sac will be a private tract and maintained by the home—
owners.
It is also an objective to upgrade the plantings in the open space. At
least one street tree will also be planted on each lot.
The overall objective is to upgrade the P.U.D. by lowering the density,
providing owner occupied housing rather than rental housing and bringing the
improvements up to City standrads while still remaining in the same market
as the existing neighborhood.
If you have any questions regarding these objectives or the amended
preliminary site plan, please call Mr. Martin or myself.
