Development c/o Chuck Betters 375 East Horsetooth Road Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Chuck, Staff reviewed your submittal for Dakota Ridge P.U.D., Second Filing - Final at their regularly scheduled Interdepartmental Meeting on June 21, 1993, and would like to offer the following comments at this time: 1. U.S. West has stated that the north arrow on the final subdivision plat does not match the north arrow on the preliminary subdivision plat (nor is it consistent with the Final Site & Landscape Plan). They will require the following utility easements in addition to those shown on the subdivision plat: a) along the north property lines of Lots 150 & 151, b) along the side property line between Lots 159 & 160, c) along the side property line between Lots 54 & 55, and d) along the rear property lines of Lots 51 & 52. A copy of the U.S. West comment sheet is attached to this " letter. - - 2. North should be to the right of the sheets on the subdivision plat, not up as shown. 3. Wally Muscott, the City Surveyor, has indicated that there are many problems with the final subdivision plat. Please contact Wally at 221-6588 to discuss the concerns. 4. Mark Taylor of the Water/Wastewater Department has indicated that his comments have been forwarded to your engineer with the red -lined check set of utility plans. Mark can be reached at 221-6681 if there are any questions pertaining to water and sanitary sewer services. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 A 1' 5. The Stormwater Utility has very significant concerns about this project and wants to have a meeting with the developer, Parks & Recreation, Larry Odau (builder), and the Planning Department as soon as possible. Steve Olt, the project planner, will be scheduling this meeting. Please contact him at 221-6750 with available times for this meeting. A copy of Stormwater's comment sheet is attached to this letter, as well as a red'=lined Final Site & Landscape Plan that should be returned to Planning when revisions have been made. Kate Malers of the Stormwater Utility is your contact person and can -be reached at 221-6589. 6. Two fire hydrants should be added; at the corner of Wetterhorn Drive and Willow Creek Drive, and at Lots 25 & 26. 7. State on the plans who will maintain the 20' wide utility & pedestrian easement behind Lots 1 through 7 and the detention pond. Will there be a Homeowner's Association in this development? Is the developer building a paved pedestrian/bicycle walk? A cross section on the Site & Landscape Plan of this area would be helpful. A section apparently is shown on the utility plans. 8. The street tree spacing along Red Mountain Drive varies from 60' to 901. This should be more consistent and be closer to 40' on -center. There is a detached sidewalk along Creekstone Drive where street trees should be provided. Also, one street tree per lot is recommended by the City and should be indicated on the Final Site & Landscape Plan. The note ."Trees will be planted in the curb areas along the east side of Red Mountain Drive and Creekstone Drive as shown. Trees will be maintained by the City of Fort Collins. Ground cover in these areas will be planted and maintained by the adjacent homeowners"... should be added to the Final Site & Landscape Plan. This note is consistent with a note on the Dakota Ridge, First Filing plans. 9. The final subdivision plat needs to show the solar lots and address the solar orientation compliance (number and by note or legend. 10. Do Lots 160 through 166 already have existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk on their side of Creekstone Drive? If so, please label as existing. 11. There are sight distance concerns associated with several of these lots that must be addressed. Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck of the Engineering Department to discuss these concerns. Kerrie can be reached at 221-6750: Is Lot 63 buildable with the sight easement as shown? 12. A fencing detail and guidelines should be included on the Final Site & Landscape Plan. 13. Lots 166 (167) through 169 (170) should be renumbered on the Final Site & Landscape Plan to be consistent with the subdivision plat. 14. The pedestrian path shown along the south property line (and across the detention pond at the southeast corner) must be continued north along the east property line and connect to Willow Creek Drive between Lots 19 & 20 and/or 28 & 29. 15. Plant Note 4 should read "A Free Permit must be obtained from the City Forester...". 16. How is Plant Note 6, referring to plant quality and quantity going to end? Presently it is just left dangling. 17. What areas are included in the private open space and the common open space as referred to in the PROJECT STATISTICS table? 18. Two questions about the Planning Objectives: * Under Access & Circulation - shouldn't that read "Red Mountain Drive, which gives primary access to Dakota Ridge 2nd Phase from Horsetooth Road;"? * Under Land Use Policies - shouldn't the Policy 79 paragraph read "within walking distance to planned high school..."? .l This completes the review comments at this time.
