STONERID E AMENDED OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. #21-92B.
STONERIDGE PUD, 2ND FILING - PRELIMINARY AND FINAL. #21-92E.
Member Clements -Cooney stated she pulled these items and would like a presentation of both
items and her concerns were with the density.
Ted Shepard, Senior Planner gave the Staff report recommending approval of both items with
the following conditions on the 2nd filing approval.
1. Staff recommends a variance be granted from the absolute requirement of the
Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. that the density, on a gross acreage basis,
be a minimum of three dwelling units per acre.
2. Staff recommends a variance be granted to allow 28 feet wide streets, from curb to
curb, on Jewelstone Court, Jadestone Court, and Rosestone Court.
3. The standard condition on development agreement, final utility plans, and final PUD
plans be completed within 2 months of approval.
Mr. Frank Vaught, Vaught -Frye Architects, representing the applicant, pointed out that the
main reason for amending the Overall Development Plan was not density related, but to more
accurately locate the recreation and swimming complex. The density did change slightly from
3.4 per acre to 3.1 units to the acre on the Overall Development Plan.
Mr. Vaught stated that the Overall Development Plan did comply with the minimum density
of 3 units per acre and tonight they were just looking at one piece of the plan, the second phase
of this development. There were different densities within this development that did achieve
up to 8 units to the acre.
Mr. Vaught stated they were trying to accomplish a unique subdivision in Fort Collins more
like some of the developments in the late 70's and early 80's and because it borders an arterial
street they have designed the open space along Horsetooth Road and had incorporated that
concept throughout the entire project.
Mr. Vaught stated they had urban size lots from 7,500 to 12,000 s.f., and that 95% of the lots
have access directly onto the open space and also accomplish the goals of the solar ordinance.
Mr. Vaught stated that there was a major bike trail that connects this property on a north/south
access both to Horsetooth Road to the elementary school to the south, as well as to the high
school and city park.
3
Mr. Les Kaplan, developer of the project, stated this was a lower density, mixed residential use.
They have patio homes on the west side of the first phase which was a buffer between them
and Dakota Ridge and the high school. The balance of the first phase, 17 acres, was the same
land use configuration that they have in the second filing.
Mr. Kaplan stated the lowering of the density was not a major objective of changing the overall
development plan. He talked about the master plan, the density of the project and
configuration of future single and multi -family phases.
Member Clements -Cooney stated there was a request for a variance from the absolute
requirement that the density be a minimum of 3 d.u./per acre on a gross acreage basis. Was any
other configuration considered to meet the requirement.
Mr. Kaplan stated that the objective of the project was urban size lots bordering green belts.
The lots were the same size, maybe a little bigger in 2nd filing as in the 1st. He stated that the
lots from the 1st filing and the lots in the 2nd filing were linked together by the greenbelt and
what they had is kind of a curvlinear park which surrounds the lots.
PUBLIC INPUT
Dick Chin, lives on the corner of County Road 9 and Horsetooth. He spoke in favor of the
project and the urban size lots and would like to see a lower density to blend in with the
acreages that have homes on out there already.
PUBLIC INPUT CLOSED
Member O'Dell stated she also was concerned about the lowering of the density and thought
there was a trend being established and this was an example of what going on around the City.
She thought overall this development did meet the criteria of the 3 du/per acre.
Member O'Dell moved for approval of Stoneridge Amended Overall Development Plan.
Member Cottier seconded the motion.
The motion passed 6-0.
Member O'Dell moved for approval of Stoneridge PUD, 2nd filing, Preliminary and Final.
Member Klataske seconded the motion.
The motion passed 6-0.
OAKWOOD SCHOOL N-C-L SITE PLAN REVIEW. FINAL - #13-93
Kirsten Whetstone, Project Planner, gave the staff report recommending approval.
Victor Smith, applicant, stated they were planning on having a small school of 60-75 students.
They thought the impact on the neighborhood would be positive. They were interested in
fitting in the neighborhood and being a part of the neighborhood.
