Dear Jim:
Staff.has reviewed the request for Final P.U.D. for Paragon Point
Third Filing. The following comments are offered:
1. The Public Service Company will require the developer to
dedicate an exclusive easement, measuring 20 feet by 60 feet,
for a natural gas regulation station at or near the
intersection of Trilby Road and Lemay Avenue. This will be
necessary to provide adequate gas supply to Filing Three.
2. Be sure to continue front and rear lot utility easements
across the open space tracts. These easements need to be
continuous and not end at the lot lines. Also, these utility
easements should be dedicated across Open Space Tracts numbers
two and three to connect to Filing One.
3. The following comments relate to the Subdivision Plat:
A. The dimension of "S25" 45' 02" 148.581along the outer
boundary of Lot 34 does not match the distance shown on
the original plat.
B. It -_would help -clarify the plat to define-"O-S-"-as-Open -
Space Tract.
C. The 20' utility and drainage easement along the east
side, off site, should say "Dedicated With This Plat".
D. There is already a Catalpa Court, in the County, in the
same address range as this plat.
4. The P.U.D. Site Plan should indicate that Lot 35 is a solar
oriented lot since only 18 lots have the solar lot symbol.
5. Project Note number nine should be deleted since this amenity
will not be part of Filing Three.
6. Staff is concerned about serving 14 lots on Pheasant Court
with a 28 foot wide street. The 54 feet of right-of-way and
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
36 feet of pavement should serve Lots 1 and 14 so that the
intersection with Pheasant Drive is standard. The balance of
the lots within the cul-de-sac may be served with a 28 foot
wide street.
All cul-de-sacs that have a 28 foot wide street should be
restricted from having driveways directly opposite each other.
Driveways should be staggered or alternated so that two cars
are physically prevented from parking directly opposite each
other on the street and inhibiting the minimum of 20 feet of
unobstructed access. A note should be added to the Site Plan
stating this intent.
Staff is concerned about the lack of any trees between the
sidewalk and the curb along Lemay Avenue. The City Forester
and the Planning Department request that this parkway strip,
along an arterial street, be treated with deciduous street
trees spaced at uniform, 40 foot intervals to create a formal
boulevard effect. The street trees should be selected from
the list of approved trees as specified by the City Forester.
OThe Utility Plans are not clear as to the extent of public
improvements to be constructed along Lemay for Filing Three.
will there be sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and street widening
from Pheasant Drive down to Trilby Road? Please specify
exactly what is to be built on Lemay that will be tied to
Filing Three.
10. The Parks and Recreation Department is concerned that the
segment of the Fossil Creek Trail still does not appear within
a publicly dedicated easement. Since this portion of the
trail is now within a private park, it must be dedicated to
the public.
This concludes Staff comments at this time.
