Approximately 35 interested citizens participated in the presentation and discussion with the applicant, the project design team, and City staff. 1. QUESTION: What is the clubhouse parking that is shown? ANSWER: This will be parking for the clubhouse for the development and the potential park. 2. QUESTION: How many units will there be in Phase I, shown at the northeast corner of the property? ANSWER: About 30 units. 3. COMMENT: The street from Trilby Road to Phase 1 at the northeast corner of the development should be an asphalt surface initially to prevent construction traffic going through Southridge Greens. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 4. QUESTION: Why extend Southridge Greens Boulevard south into another development? ANSWER: The street right-of-way has always been platted to provide this connection which will create a re -circulation through street and give both developments a secondary emergency access point. 5. COMMENT: You could build a street from Lemay Avenue east to the homes through the park area. RESPONSE: Fossil Creek and the floodplain prohibit that option. 6. QUESTION: Is Southridge Greens Boulevard built to handle additional traffic? ANSWER: Yes, it is. This street functions at a Service Level 'A' presently, and the additional traffic generated by the numbers proposed with this development will not change that status. 7. QUESTION: When did you measure the traffic? ANSWER: Within the last two weeks. 8. QUESTION: Did you take into account the Center Greens development? ANSWER: Yes, as well as all the other vacant lots in ,Southridge Greens. 9. QUESTION: If this street is Level 'A', what is College Avenue? ANSWER: At some intersections College Avenue functions at a Service Level 'F'. 10. QUESTION: After this new development goes in, will this street be somewhere between Levels 'A' & 'F") ANSWER: It will still be at a Service Level 'A'. 11. QUESTION: Why can't you begin this development to the south, from Trilby Road? ANSWER: For continuity and economic reasons, we want to begin adjacent to Southridge Greens. 12. QUESTION: Who pays for these streets? ANSWER: This new development does. 13. QUESTION: Is it logical to put more traffic on Trilby Road or Southridge Greens Boulevard? ANSWER: At the present time, due to the condition of Trilby Road, the street in Southridge Greens will handle the traffic better. 14. QUESTION: The most desirable reason to merge Southridge Greens with the new development is the possible expansion of the golf course? ANSWER: We would like to do that, but there just isn't enough land. 15. QUESTION: You are offering some but not all of the open, green area for additional golf holes? ANSWER: There is not enough area for 9 holes. It might be possible to reconfigure approximately 3 existing holes. 16. QUESTION: Would this park be open to the general public? ANSWER: Probably, yes. 17. QUESTION: Will there be a homeowners association? ANSWER: That is not determined at this time. 18. QUESTION: How long will the temporary paved street, Trilby Road, last? ANSWER: Indefinitely, until additional development warrants improvements. 19. QUESTION: Why can't you do Phases 2 & 3 initially, instead of Phase 1? From a neighborhood perspective, we want to see the development occur off of paved streets, such as Lemay Avenue. What are the economics that direct your phase plan? ANSWER: The larger lots, less density, and more desirable building sites. 20. QUESTION: What priced lots and size of lots are you proposing in Phase 1? ANSWER: The size of lots will be 10,000 square feet+, I don't know yet what the prices will be. 21. COMMENT: How do you measure demands for homes in the price range in this area? There are many homes on the market now in Southridge Greens. 22. QUESTION: What are the plans for upgrading Lemay Avenue? ANSWER: This is somewhat dependent on when surrounding development takes place. Money will be escrowed from this developer in connection with each phase. 23. QUESTION: Was a vehicle measuring tube placed for any length of time on Southridge Greens Boulevard? ANSWER: There was a crew on site within the last two weeks measuring peak traffic counts. 24. QUESTION: What will the City do to take measures to assure speed limits and safety measures on the streets? ANSWER: Possibly provide signage and enforcement as necessary. 25. COMMENT: You should have access to Trilby Road as a permanent street at some time in the near future. 26. QUESTION: When will this go to the City and will it look like this? ANSWER: We are planning to submit as soon as possible and the level of documentation will be much greater than this conceptual work at the time of a formal submittal. 27. QUESTION: Is it possible to direct all construction vehicles to Trilby Road and into the new area from the south? Don't build the section of Southridge Greens Boulevard south from the existing cul-de-sac to the new street until the construction is done. ANSWER: Yes, that is possible and would be a desirable solution. 28. COMMENT: have you traveled down Trilby Road on a dry day? The dust is unmanageable. There is a large amount of traffic that utilizes this road as a short cut to the east side of Fort Collins and Highway I-25. There can be excessive, high speed traffic on Trilby Road. 29—QUESTION: When—will--Highway__32—be._developed_and_improved out to I-25 to encourage growth in that direction. ANSWER: The City does not have an immediate need for these improvements without additional development. 30. COMMENT: A possible solution to the traffic on Trilby Road would be to install a stoplight at the intersection to impede excessive, fast moving traffic. 31. QUESTION: What is your firm and what experience do you have? ANSWER: We are an up -start, golf -oriented firm. 32. COMMENT: Please expound on the profile of the planned homes. RESPONSE: The homes will be in harmony with existing homes in the area. 33. QUESTION: What are your plans for upkeep of the proposed open space? ANSWER: The park will be an active area with transition to a more natural setting in the open space. 34. QUESTION: Is a street intended to connect College Avenue with Lemay Avenue in this area? ANSWER: The City's Master Street Plan indicates a collector street to connect, the location is undetermined. 35. COMMENT: If the street in the development, as well as Trilby Road, is paved completely at the outset, then this proposal would be considered more favorably. 36. COMMENT: The crux of this whole discussion is that we don't want a street connection to the south at all. 37. COMMENT: Southridge Greens does not really gain anything from this new development. 38. QUESTION: How fast could Phases 2 & 3 be developed after Phase 1 is complete? ANSWER: As early as the summer of 1992, if all goes well. Phase 1 could be on the market in May, 1992. 39. QUESTION: What average price for lots are you proposing? ANSWER: That is still very dependent on the off -site improvements required by the City. 40. QUESTION: The size and price of lots in Southridge Greens are deterring sales. What will you do to create a better market? ANSWER: Provide larger lots and more reasonably priced homes.
