CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: January 10, 1994
ITEM: Stone Ridge P.U.D. Fourth Filing
APPLICANT: Mr. Les Kaplan, 1060 Sailors Reef, Fort Collins,
CO. 80525.
LAND USE DATA:. Request for a combination of estate lots (19) and -
patio home lots (38), for a total of 57 lots, on the balance of the
Stone Ridge Overall Development Plan, located north of Horsetooth
Road and east of the Third Filing.
COMMENTS:
1. Electrical power is available to both the estate lots and the
patio homes. Since the patio homes will be served by a.
private street, then Light and Power does not provide street
lights. Street lighting, and maintenance, will be the
obligation of the developer and homeowner's association.
2. The developer is responsible for constructing a 12 inch
diameter water line in County Road #9 on the east side of the
property. The developer bears the full cost of this line with
no reimbursement from the City. If it is determined that this
line needs to be 16 inches in diameter, then the City will
reimburse for the difference between 12 and 16 inches. For
further information regarding the requirements -of the Water
and Wastewater Utility, please contact Mark Taylor, 221-6681.
3. The proposal to split the local drive to the estate lots into
two, 20 foot -wide lanes is considered appropriate. Since the
Fire.Cade still refers to cul-de-sacs not exceeding 660 feet
in length from a single point of access, a variance will be
required: The -new limit is expected to be 900 feet. If the
lanw,ie 950 feet, the Poudre Fire Authority can probably work.
on a flexible basis to allow the extra fifty feet.
4. All lots must be within 400 feet of a fire hydrant.
5. It may be.a requirement that parking be restricted to one side
of the street on the 28 foot wide streets.
6. Presently, the Parkland Development Fee is $779 per unit,
payable at the time of building permit issuance. The City
Council is considering raising this fee for single family and

lowering for multi -family. Please contact Leslie Bryson, 221-
6640 for further information.
7. The site is located in the McClelland -Mail Creek Drainage
Basin. The storm drainage fees in this basin are $3,717 per
acre.
8. The stormwater detention pond is a critical component and will
be necessary for the Third Filing. The drainage report should
include calculations for picking up one-half of the storm
flows associated with both County Road #9 and Horsetooth Road.
These flows must be routed over to the pond. Obviously, on
County Road #9, only those flows above the pond can be routed
into the pond.
9. Since there is a low point along Horsetooth Road, a channel
may have to be.constructed to get half of the road's storm
flows over to the pond. This should be addressed in the
Drainage Report.
10. An access from the private street serving the patio. homes onto
Horsetooth Road may not be allowed. This would result in
Stone Ridge having four access points onto the arterial.
Perhaps a second point of access for the patio homes should be
gained from County Road #9.
11. The extent of the public improvements along County Road #9
will need to be discussed with the City's Development
Engineer. At minimum, the plat must dedicate 50 feet of half -
width for the arterial cross-section, along with an adjacent
15 foot wide utility easement.
12. Will a sub drain system be necessary on the Fourth Filing? If
so, then the sub drain system design will become part of the
Utility Plans and reviewed by the City.
13. It is recommended that the patio home area be provided with
offstreet overflow parking in scattered locations that are
available for guests, etc.
14. It is recommended that the developer schedule a separate
meeting with the Transportation Department to discuss issues
not covered during the conceptual review session.
