Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: May 4, 1992 ITEM: Horsetooth Commons Single.Family lots APPLICANT: Don Frederick Frederick Land Surveying 1528 N. Lincoln Loveland, CO 80538 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for a 26 single family lots on approximately 5 acres located on Block 1 and Tract C of Horsetooth Commons PUD. The property is zoned RP, Planned Residential, and is located north of Horsetooth Road and West of Shields Street. COMMENTS: 1. There is power in Richmond Drive near the Grease Monkey location. It will have to be extended to the site along Richmond Drive (Light and Power will extend it). Normal residential charges would apply. 2. An 8" water main exists in Richmond Drive and ties into Horsetooth. It is stubbed into Patterson Place as well and would have to be extended to serve this property. Sewer exists on the Market at Horsetooth Commons site, near the Classic Cars building. You would have to extend it west to Patterson Place. This would require a cut across Richmond Drive. You would be eligible for a repay agreement for utilities you put in which benefit the neighboring properties. This can be addressed in the Development Agreement for this property. 3. If you propose 28'"streets you will have to request a variance from the City -standard of 36' streets In--your—variance- request, address how safety and emergency access issues will be addressed. Parking would be allowed on only one side of a 28' wide street and therefore off-street guest parking should be provided. 4. Parkland fees are $625.00 per unit and are collected at the time of building permit issuance. 5. Parks and Recreation has concerns about the Horsetooth Road frontage. They are responsible for basic maintenance along arterial streets, but only for a landscape design that they approve. Any greenbelt plantings, such as the Kingston Woods PUD provided, would be maintained by property owners or a Homeowner's Association. Please consult with Leslie Bryson, at 221-6367 for more information. ,. 6. Please submit an updated traffic study for this property. There should be several current traffic studies to consult, such as Cunningham Corner Amended Master Plan and Tract G (Hickory Hill Village PUD) and Kingston Woods PUD, which should have much of the latest information. Please contact Rita Davis at Transportation (221-6608) for specifics to include in the updated study. 7. A standard engineering submittal will be required. This includes a full set of engineering documents, utility plans, .drainage and grading plans, an erosion control plan,. and a soils report. 8. This property is in the Foothills Basin where stormwater fees are $5,025.00 per developed acre. 9. A Development Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and the owner/developer will be required prior to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing. 10. Please contact Matt Baker at 221-6605 for information on repay agreements for this site. 11. Street oversizing fees are $584.00 per unit and are paid at the time of building permit issuance. 12. Contact Dave Stringer (221-6605) for information on the 24" stormwater pipe which was supposedly put in when Richmond Drive was built. 13. It may be difficult to get the 3 driveways (for lots 2, 3, and 4 in Block One) with adequate access onto the street, at the curve. You may want to consider a shared drive in this area. 14. All of the intersections should intersect at 90 degrees or as close as possible. 15. The depth of lots along an .arterial should be no less than .150'. A "straight" subdivision, as opposed to a PUD, requires that lots be. at least 150' deep or a variance (proving hardship) needs to be requested of the Zoning Board of Appeals. A PUD can vary this requirement, but the PUD variance must be offset by design features which produce a lot with an "equal to or better than" offset from the arterial (ie. a 201- 40' bermed and landscaped greenbelt buffer along the arterial, could somewhat reduce the depth of those lots). A homeowners association or landscape easement on individual lots would be required to provide maintenance. Fencing details along Horsetooth would be required as well. 16. Will the detention pond be landscaped? Will the detention pond be seeded with a dry grass seed or blue grass turf? Will it be used as a pocket park? We would recommend fencing restrictions for the three lots backing onto the detention area. In other parts of the City, a fence height of four feet is recommended in these areas, with the option of an adding a 1 to 2 foot section of open fence, such as a lattice fencing, to the top. The City will not maintain the detention pond. 17. All lots with double frontage should be designated to have access off of the cul-de-sac whenever possible. 18. You will be required to amend the existing Horsetooth Commons Master Plan (now called Overall Development Plan). Tract C is currently designated for multiple family units. The current ODP includes a mix of housing units and Tract C (the multi- family _units) provides a transitional buffer between the commercial lots to the east and the single family lots to the west. You will need to include with your submittal, a statement on how the proposed project helps to achieve City Policies (see the Land Use Policies Plan and the Goals and Objectives documents) relating to mixing of housing units/types in neighborhoods. The following data should be supplied: a. Number of previously planned units; number of proposed units. b. Number of different types of units (ie., SF and MF) previously planned within the .project; number of different types of units if the project were to be approved. C. Number of different types of units (i.e., SF and MF) previously planned within the section or square mile of the project; number -of different types of units within the section or square mile if the project were to be approved. You may want to look at a certain radius around the property as well. 19. Your submittal should include a PUD plat, site plan, landscape plan, architectural elevation detail, fencing detail, signage information, as well as the stormwater, engineering, and transportation- requirements. I will enclose information sheet with these comments. 20. Adequate buffering needs to be provided between the different land uses in the Horsetooth Commons ODP. This would be particularly important between the single family lots to the north and Tract B. 21. The subdivision plat will have to meet the criteria of the solar orientation ordinance. At .a minimum, 65%,of the lots have to meet the definition of a solar oriented lot (lots oriented to the north and south, within 30 degrees of the east west line). If you need more information on this ordinance, please contact the Planning Department. 22. The landscape plan should address the rear yard treatments (fencing and landscaping) for the double frontage lots. I HPDesk Local Print for Kirsten WHETSTONE Start of Item 48. Message.
