To Whom It May Concern:
Staff has reviewed your documents for Dakota Ridge P.U.D., Filing No. 3 - Preliminary that
were submitted on May 2, 1994, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. Public Service Company of Colorado has stated that the title of the subdivision plat
should be R68W, not R67W.
2. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to this letter.
3. Plant Note 6 on the Site and Landscape Plan should end with prior to issuance of
certificate of occupancy. The reference to "more than 25 % of the units in this phase"
should be eliminated.
4. The comments received from the Engineering Department are as follows:
a. No pavement design was included in the soils report. It must be submitted for
City review prior to subgrade preparation.
b. There are no apparent groundwater problems. .
C. No update to the Dakota Ridge traffic study was submitted for this filing.
Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck if you have questions about these Engineering comments.
Kerrie can be reached at 221-6750.
5. This proposal does not meet the requirements of the Solar Orientation Ordinance (a
minimum of 65 % of the lots must comply); therefore, a variance request is necessary and
must be supported by one of the three variance criteria in the ordinance.
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
.
6. The street configuration appears to isolate the City park from this neighborhood. At one
time, were not cul-de-sacs planned from Pinecone Circle to the southwest that allowed
bicycle/pedestrian connections to occur from this filing to the park? Bicycle/pedestrian
connections should be provided.
7. The plan should be reduced in size, possibly going to a scale of 1" =80' or 1" =100', to
enable the plan to put this filing in the context of the surrounding area and Pinecone
O.D.P.
8. Plan Note 7 would more appropriately belong under the Project Notes. It really does not
have any relationship to the landscaping. Also, this street width variance request needs
to be submitted in written form to the Engineering Department.
9. The reference to the New Fort Collins High School to the southwest, on the Site and
Landscape Plan, should be City of Fort Collins Neighborhood Park. Also, the
referenced C.S.U. Property to the northeast is actually CSURF Property.
10. Bicycle/pedestrian access should be provided from this development to the north and
east. There is a major drainage channel in that area that has a bicycle/pedestrian trail that
should be connected to.
11. The Pinecone overall drainage report and plan had different drainage configurations than
this plan shows. There is no on -site detention being proposed for this filing, which will
increase the detention requirements on the church site. Is there an agreement with the
church site to shift the detention requirements? This filing cannot be approved without
an agreement in place.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as
the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the June 27,
1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing:
Plan revisions are due no later than June 9, 1994. Please contact me for the number of
folded revisions required for each document. }
PMI's, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the Planning and Zoning
Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on June 20, 1994.

PROJECT: DAKOTA RIDGE, 3rd Filing - Preliminary
PLANNER: Steve Olt
All comments must be received by Friday, May 13,1994
No Problems
® Problems or Concerns (see below)
Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment
that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are
presently available. U S WEST will provide telephone service in
accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado
Public Utilities Commission.
The developer is responsible for provision of all trench, street
crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities within
the project, and the developer pays up front construction costs
for facilities within the development.
Telephone facilities generally occupy rear lot utility easements,
which must belocated on terrain which permits trenching
operations.
Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these
plans will be paid for by the developer.
