Home My WebLink AboutPINECONE PUD OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 60 91A - MINUTES/NOTES - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGNEIGHBORHOOD MEETING NOTES On Monday, April 29, 1991 at 7:00 P.M. a neighborhood meeting was held at Linton Elementary on the Pinecone Farm PUD. In attendance at this meeting were Eldon Ward (Cityscape Urban Design, representing the developer); Peter Kast (G T Lands, representing the property owner) and Sherry Albertson -Clark (City Planning) and approximately 35 residents/property owners. The meeting began with a review of the agenda and description of the planning review process by Sherry Albertson -Clark. Eldon Ward then presented the proposed Pinecone Farm PUD, which was followed by a question/answer and discussion period. Following is a summary of the questions and concerns raised, as well as the response given by the developer's representative, Mr., Ward. Question: Are there any plans to widen timberline? Response: Yes, regardless of this project. Would build a 70' wide pavement initially. Street is classified as a major arterial (6 lanes). Question: Would Horsetooth be widened? Response: Yes, to arterial (4 lane) standards. Would be widened with development. Question: What supermarket would be on this site? Could there be a gas station? Response: Don't know which supermarket yet. Will be up to the developer and the particular grocery. Gas stations are generally encouraged to _ be located in neighborhood convenience centers, instead Of neighborhood supermarket centers:-- Question: Where are the multi -family areas? Response: Pointed out areas. Area along Timberline, north .of Vermont could be multi -family or more intense (industrial or business) uses. Question: What is the northern boundary of this property? Response: About 1/4 mile south of Drake. Question: How long will CSU outparcel.be there? Response: Unknown. May phase out with development of this site. Question: What is first phase? Response: Would be residential. Would anticipate starting from Vermont and working east, but could also start from south. Phasing could change. Question: What is height of multi -family units? Response: Like Courtney Park, 1-1/2 stories. Comment: Concern that multi -story units to east would block view to the east. Question: What about parks, greenbelts? Response: Neighborhood park site . is shown, but Parks and Recreation would like a more central location. Question: What is the logic behind multi -family units along the busy streets? Response: .Meets City policies, higher density is typically found on busier streets, with lower density found on local and collector streets. Question: What size and price range would single family homes be? Response: Estimate that there would be a range, matching the area and ranging upward (6,000 - 15,000 square foot lots). Comment: Concerned that streets would be widened only a portion at a time, that cuts would .be made shortly after construction. Doesn't want to see streets built in a piecemeal fashion. Question: Will developer buy CSURF property? Response: Don't know. Question: Is the pond existing? What is the area shown around the pond? -` Response: Pond is proposed. Area around the pond is drainage area. Would like to make this area into an amenity, such as open space. Question: What types of multi -family units are you talking about? Response: Variety of units and densities. Question: Is this the City's plan?. What guarantee would there be that it would develop this way? Response: This is developer's plan. Question: What is timeframe for construction? 8 a Response: Realistically fall or spring. Question: How would construction materials be delivered? Is concerned about construction vehicles on already busy Timberline road and possible safety problems. Is there a secondary access planned? Saw problems when Sunstone was under construction. Response: Construction traffic would use City streets, which would be widened with this development. Don't plan a secondary access for construction. Question: What happens where the bluffs are? Response: This is privately owned. Other areas are CSU-owned. Question: What is next step if this gets approved? Response: Staff discussed the steps from Overall Development Plan to preliminary plan. Question: What can homeowners do to influence the type of grocery and other stores? Response: Give written comments to consultant/developer. Question: What is a "supermarket"? Response: Not a convenience store or Pace. Staff responded that grocery is typically about 40,000 square feet, like any of larger groceries in Fort Collins. Question: Where is PFA's new fire station site? Response: SW corner of Vermont and Timberline. Question: What is happening at SE/SW corner of Horsetooth and Timberline? Response: Staff responded that PSCO new site is at SW corner and Fox Meadows Business Center (with convenience center, day care and multi -family units) has preliminary approval at SE corner. Question: Is this a possible high school site? If so, what would happen to the residential areas Response: Poudre R-1 is looking at a number of sites-. Comment: Property values have not gone up. Area needs a sense of community. Retail uses can help to increase values and create sense of community. Comment: Agree. Too much of a bedroom community, need services for neighborhood. Question: Can weight limit be set for Timberline Road? Timnath may have done this (staff will look into). Question: What is the future of Timberline? Can see need for widening, but don't want it to become a "bypass" for trucks to get away from College Avenue. Response: Staff responded that it is 6-lane arterial, to provide way for truck traffic to not have to use College Avenue. Will connect north of the river, near Summitview Drive. Encouraged property owners and residents to participate in transportation planning effort by City's Transportation Division. Comment: Concerned that semis are dodging the port -of -entry and using Timberline. Comment: Concerned that light from convenience store not impact home. Response: Staff responded that this is an issue that is closely reviewed at preliminary and final plan stages. Question: Where are traffic signals planned? Response: Vermont, maybe at Danfield. The concerns were summarized at the end of the meeting by Sherry Albertson -Clark.
