HomeMy WebLinkAboutSTONERIDGE PUD, THIRD FILING PRELIMINARY - 21 92F - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - PLANNING OBJECTIVESr e STONE RIDGE FILING THREE Statement of Planning Objectives (December 6, 1993) Filing Three of Stone Ridge Village lies directly east of Filings One and Two and continues the orderly progression of project phasing from west to east. Located on 22.3 acres of the 92 acre Overall Development Plan, Filing Three includes approximately 800 feet of additional Horsetooth Road frontage and extends to the north boundary of the development. The third filing is completely consistent with the Stone Ridge Amended Overall Development Plan (#21-92E), approved unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Board on April 16, 1993. The design includes "urban -size," single-family lots with an average lot size of 10,000 sq. ft. Consistent with the project design theme already developed in Filings One and Two, these lots border a curvilinear greenbelt which meanders through the development, thereby unifying the neighborhood and, secondarily, providing a storm drainage function. The third filing also contains the Stone Ridge Recreation Area, featuring an extensively landscaped neighborhood swimming pool. Consistent with the ODP are the 2.6 d.u./ac.,'the single-family land use, the location of the Recreation Area, and the locations of streets. It should be noted that this density is inclusive of the land area designated for the Recreation Area, which area was shown separately on the ODP. Were the .80 acres for the Recreation Area subtracted from Filing Three gross area, the density would be 2.7 d.u./ac. Furthermore, were the .,82 acre Horsetooth Road right-of-way subtracted from the gross area, the density would be 2.8 d.u./ac. for Filing Three. The ODP has committed a portion of Filing Four to approximately 5.6 d.u./ac. directly at the northwest corner of Horsetooth Road and C.R. 9. Such moderate density development is most plausible from a land use standpoint and would establish the overall density of Stone Ridge at over 3 d.u./ac. A highly visible sign has been posted at this corner indicating that this portion of Stone Ridge is reserved for "multi-family/patio-home" development. Filing Three is by design an extension of Filings One and Two. The landscape treatment along Horsetooth Road continues the identical, broadly -landscaped, birmed, greenbelted, and brick - pier -fenced arterial street landscaping of Filing One. Greenbelts in Filing Three are linked to those in Filings One and Two for circulation, storm drainage and aesthetic considerations. The intimate cul-du-sac lot configuration is repeated in a manner which gives each lot a unique identity. Also, the bike/pedestrian -2- trail running east -west along the south border of the Dakota Ridge development to the north is connected to Stone Ridge (a second connection) by a bike/pedestrian trail at the end of Cherrystone Court of Filing Three. The short cul-du-sac streets in Filing Three are proposed as 28 feet in width, similar to 28 feet -wide Rosestone Court in Filing Two as approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. All three streets are shown at the standard 36 feet street width. A street width variance request has been prepared for the applicant by traffic engineer Matt Delich and has been submitted to the Planning Department. Filing Three is shown as a two phase development, with Phase One consisting of that area south of Fieldstone Drive, and Phase Two being the area north of Fieldstone Drive. Development is intended to commence in the Spring of 1994 and, depending upon market conditions, could continue through the Fall of 1995.
