Collins, Co 1 21, 1992 Kirsten Re: Blevins Court PUD, Lot 9 - Final, #42-91B I am writing in response to your letter of April 14, 1992, regarding the P & Z Board meeting scheduled April 27, 1992. As an immediate neighbor of this development I wish to inform you of my opinion, as I will be unable to attend the meeting. I had no misgivings when the proposal was for a triplex. Frankly I was surprised at the negative neighborhood reaction. I feel the best use of this neighborhood would be high density residential. The building of a duplex would constitute the minimum good use of this lot. Thank you for time and interest. Sincerel "'i, �J,,, Melanie ,J Peters DVM cc: Planning and Zoning Board Blevins Subdivision, Lot 9, PUD Final- #42-91B April 27, 1992 P&Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-L; CSU and single family homes (Blevins Sub) S: R-L; single family homes (Blevins Sub), duplexes, in -home bike shop E: R-L; single family homes (Blevins Sub) and CSU married student apartments W: R-L; single family homes (unplatted), church meeting hall, student fraternity and sorority houses. This property is Lot 9 of the 22 lot Blevins Subdivision which was subdivided in the County in March of 1955 and annexed into the City in December of 1956. The property was zoned RL-Low Density Residential, at the time it was annexed into the City. Lot 9 is the last vacant lot in this subdivision. The preliminary PUD was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in February of 1992, with conditions regarding landscaping, parking and drainage. 2. Land Use The proposed use consists of a one story duplex building, with a basement level, on an 11,846 square foot lot. The two units would each have three bedrooms. Six parking spaces are provided, as are bike racks and motorcycle parking. The property is currently zoned R-L, Low Density Residential. The current owner/applicant would maintain ownership of the units and would act as the property manager. The owner would be responsible for all lease agreements and maintenance of the building and grounds. The proposal is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary PUD plans. 3. Desicrn The proposed duplex is set at an angle on a pie shaped lot. From the street, the corner of the side and back wall will be visible, but the angle will be such that neither wall directly faces the street. The building is proposed to face east. The orientation of the building on the lot provides for a maximum backyard area. Back doors and privacy patios to access the back yard are proposed. The parking area, building, and fence are set back from the street 35, to 40' to maintain continuity of front yards on Blevins Ct. The duplex meets the setback requirements of the RL zone. The existing trees will remain or will be relocated. The applicant is proposing to plant an additional 10 deciduous and evergreen Blevins Subdivision, Lot 9, PUD Final- #42-91B April 27, 1992 P&Z Meeting Page 3 trees, in varying sizes, throughout the lot. Additional shrubbery and upright coniferous landscaped beds will soften the privacy fence and provide additional noise buffering for the parking area. Building foundation plantings are proposed to soften the building elevation on the east and north sides. A condition of preliminary approval, that a final, detailed landscape plan be submitted prior to final approval, has been met. The final landscape plan shows foundation plantings, details about which trees would be relocated, additional plantings to act as a buffer between the parking area and the privacy fence, and the location and description of the additional trees. Approximately 62% of the site is landscaped with lawn, trees, or shrubs. The building is proposed to be 1 story high with a low sloped roof, materials, colors, and relative scale to lot size, similar to existing houses on Blevins Ct., in order to aesthetically blend the proposed structure into the neighborhood. The trash receptacle will be enclosed and landscaped. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility Three neighborhood meetings were held for this project. Major concerns were density, parking, and general site design. As a result of neighborhood, Staff, and Planning and Zoning Board input, the applicant reduced the number of units from 4 to 2. Staff feels that a duplex is compatible in bulk, scale, and density with the surrounding neighborhood. Land uses of the surrounding area, include single family houses; married student housing complexes; college classrooms, labs, and offices; a Baptist Student Union meeting house; duplexes; a church, church -school and daycare; an in -home bike shop; and fraternity houses. 5. Transportation The property is located on a short cul-de-sac off of South Whitcomb Street, mid -block between Prospect Road and Lake Street. Whitcomb Street is a major connection to the CSU campus from Prospect Road, particularly now that the connection between Pitkin and Lake Streets exists. Transportation does not have concerns from a traffic standpoint, as trips generated by 2 additional units at this location will be insignificant compared to the existing volumes. The Planning and Zoning Board requested a condition that at least 6 parking spaces be provided. The applicant has provided 6 parking spaces as well as bicycle and motorcycle parking. 6. Storm Drainage The Stormwater Utility requested that a condition be placed on approval of this project that the final drainage report and Blevins Subdivision, Lot 9, PUD Final- #42-91B April 27, 1992 P&Z Meeting Page 4 drainage and grading plans, including an erosion control plan, be approved by the Stormwater Utility prior to final approval. This condition has been met. RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that the proposal is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plan. The three conditions of preliminary approval have been met. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Blevins Subdivision Lot 9 PUD Final- #42-91B. DeveloF nt Services Planning Department City of Fort Collins MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Board FROM: Kirsten Whetstone, Project Planner DATE: April 24, 1992 RE: Revisions to Items on the April 27, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing Agenda. Please note the following additions or changes to the following Staff reports: 1. For Items #2 and #6 on the Agenda, (Blevins Court PUD #42-91B and Oakridge PUD loth Filing #13-82AZ), please add the following condition to the recommendations for approval: That the Development Agreement for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer, and that the utility plans be fully executed and approved by the City prior to the next monthly meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said next monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the Development Agreement and/or utility plans, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made.) If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, if applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect.
