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.
