The site is bounded by South Timberline Road to the west and by Stoney Creek Drive to the East. The site is approximately 2 acres in size. The objective of the project is to develop two commercial lots on the western portion of the site fronting on South Timberline Road, and providing 5 single family residential lots on the eastern portion of the site fronting on Stoney Creek Drive. The farmhouse portion of the site is to be developed into a small veterinary clinic which will require an addition to the existing farmhouse structure. It is intended for the new structure to be sensitive to the residential character of the existing farmhouse architecture. There is currently no user identified for the second commercial lot located to the southwest of the site. City Land Use Policies Achieved: Policy 3a: The property is bounded by the Sunstone Village P.U.D. on the eastern and southern boundaries, and South Timberline Road is to the west. This should qualify this project as an infil project, thereby assisting to satisfy the City's policy of maximizing the utilization of land within the City. Policy 12: The portion of the site being utilized for single family residential lots exceeds the desired urban density of three or more lots to the acre as encouraged by this land use policy. Policy 22: Contiguous development to this proposed project includes Sunstone Village P.U.D. to the east and south, and South Timberline Road to the west. This project should receive preferential consideration. SPEIGHTS P.U.D. ,). Intended Future Ownership of P.U.D.: The ownership of the Speights P.U.D. should be broken down into 4 parts: 1) the Veterinary Clinic; 1) the Single -Family Residential Lots; 3) the Commercial Lot; and 4) City owned tracts. The Veterinary Clinic portion of the P.U.D. will be a Speights family owned and operated business. A portion of the original farmhouse will function as residence for the business owners. No change in ownership is anticipated in the near future. The single-family residential lots will be sold to eventual homeowners. The commercial lot, having only preliminary design attention at this time, will be sold for use by a small commercial business who will be required to follow final P.U.D. process requirements prior to construction. The City owned tracts within this P.U.D. include a 40' drainage tract to the north and a 10' R.O.W. to the west. No change in ownership is anticipated. Estimate of Employees: The Veterinary Clinic will employ approximately 3 people following implementation of this P.U.D.. SPEIGHTS P.U.D. Z Erosion Control During Construction; During construction operations the current City of Fort Collins Standards for erosion control shall be adhered to. Measures to inhibit and/or eliminate erosion runoff onto adjacent City rights -of -way or other properties adjacent shall include temporary barriers, such as straw bales, other temporary drainage containment structures, proper location of earth stockpiles and earth berming. Erosion control planning and proper sequencing of construction activities are to be observed. Description of Rationale Behind Decisions and Choices: The primary decision to pursue this P.U.D. project is based on a desire to provide veterinary clinic services to southeast Fort Collins. This site offers a good location and an existing farmhouse structure to be utilized (in part) for the operation which will provide veterinary services to the surrounding vicinity. The site, however, is too large for the veterinary operation alone. This provides the opportunity to mix land uses that are appropriate to the western and eastern boundaries of the site. South Timberline Road, being a collector street, it seemed appropriate for the Veterinary Clinic and one additional commercial lot to be located for access from Timberline. With existing single-family residential development to the east, it seemed quite appropriate to provide similar residential lots on the eastern portion of the site to blend this new development into the existing residential development. The small veterinary clinic and the second commercial lot serve as a buffer, of sorts, between South Timberline Road and the proposed (and existing) residential development. A single access drive, to be shared by the two commercial lots, is to be provided on Timberline Road. Shared parking is also to be pursued. SPEIGHTS P.U.D. Land Use Conflict Mitigation: This proposed project is a mixed -use project in an RLP zone. The site is greater than two acres and is contiguous to existing urban development with no apparent critical conflicts. Visual and functional interaction between this project and the existing development has been addressed by mixing the uses on the site and will be minimal. The Speights P.U.D. is consistent with the Land Use Policies Plan in regard to infil development. The project is not located at a corner of two arterials, instead taking access from a single drive from South Timberline Road. The residential lots will take access from Stoney Creek Drive. The development site is currently home for several existing mature trees. As many as possible of the healthy trees are to be preserved. Landscape buffers will be provided at the site's commercial perimeter. Landscape buffering will be provided between commercial and residential uses. The proposed commercial uses are oriented to the South Timberline Road portion of the site. The new building addition to the existing farmhouse will be compatible to the residential character of the existing architecture. This will be sensitive to the scale and character of the residential development to the east. The proposed new site are located development. residential lots to be developed on this adjacent to existing similar residential SPEIGHTS P.U.D. f„ Design Methods to Reduce Energy Consumption: The proposed new construction will be similar to the existing farmhouse. Energy efficient, gas fired HVAC systems will be utilized. All new glazed surfaces will be thermal paned in frames with thermal breaks. The proposed new structure will also be well insulated. Development Schedule and Phasing: The P.U.D will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 includes lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. Phase 2 includes lot 7. It is the desire of the Owner to complete phase 1, land development and Vet Clinic portions of the work, as soon as possible. It is the Owner's intent to complete engineering and planning activities for site development concurrent with the P.U.D. preparation and review process. Site development work is planned to begin immediately following the Planning and Zoning Board's final approval for the project. Vet Clinic design will also proceed in parallel with the P.U.D. process. Renovation of the farmhouse and construction of the small addition to the existing structure will begin immediately after final approval for the project. This construction work will be scheduled to mesh with the site development work. All site development, renovation and construction work should be completed within six months following approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. The residential lots will be built out as lots are sold. It is expected that all lots will be sold by the time site development work is completed; by Fall of 1992 at the latest. The south commercial lot 7 (phase 2) will require a preliminary and final P.U.D. for the specific future user. Efforts to locate a suitable user for the site will begin as soon as site development work is completed. SPEIGHTS P.U.D. Fire Access: On review of the P.U.D. with the Poudre Fire Authority Fire Marshall, Warren Jones, it is understood that residential lots 1 & 2 can by code be accessed from a single drive from Stoney Creek Drive. It is further understood that the commercial lots 6 & 7 are not required to incorporate a fire lane turn -around .when the structures are provided with a fire sprinkler system (residential type).
