Woodridge (Arapahoe Farm) PUD. Phase 1. Preliminary - 035-87B.
Member Strom stated his concern was the liability of the landscape maintenance on the common
open space, being relatively small and outside the fence for most of the homeowners. He did
not want to make a big issue at this point but would suggest a second condition to the effect
that the liability of the proposed landscape scheme for the common open space shall be
demonstrated prior to approval of the final PUD.
Member O'Dell asked if Member Strom was asking for evidence of a Homeowners Association
that would be prepared to do this.
Member Strom replied that we have language in the LDGS to the effect that they have to
demonstrate liability of the homeowner's association and or some other landscape maintenance
scheme for open space. He wanted to make that explicit so that we have some specific
1992 SOUTHEAST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE PLAN REVIEW
Ted Shepard, Project Planner gave the staff report stating it was a 55,000 s.f. building, the site
is approximately 8 acres, located in the Golden Meadows Business Park. There was one
advisement that Staff was forwarding on to the Planning and Zoning Board and they pass
along to the School Board and it regards the pedestrian connection that could be investigated
to link Cape Cod Circle over to McMurry Drive.
Mike Spearnak of Poudre R-1 stated this was essentially the same school that they just talked
about. He stated that they were in negotiations with Innovative Companies and he stated they
planned at this point to develop the whole 10.2 acres. They intended to provide a pedestrian
connection for the kids to get across a big swale on the north property line. In their discussions
with the City they planned on making that connection. What they were proposing was an
earthen bridge with a blacktop path on top of it.
— Member Cottier asked Mr. Spearnak to respond to the suggestion that they consider a pedestrian
walk for the neighbors to the west.
Mr. Spearnak replied he could not, but he would take it back to the administration and let them
know. They have not taken a look at it at all. They had not received any letter from the City
on it.
Member Cottier replied that it was an example of an off -site improvement that would really
be in the best interest of the School District.
Member Carroll stated that he would not recommend they disapprove this because of the
pedestrian access.
Member Cottier moved for approval of the 1992 Southeast Elementary School with the
recommendation that the district consider and investigate the feasibility of constructing a
pedestrian access to Golden Meadows Subdivision.
Member Strom seconded the motion.
Motion passed 4-0.
CUNNINGHAM CORNER AMENDED MASTER PLAN AND CUNNINGHAM CORNER PUD,
TRACT G. PRELIMINARY
Kirsten Whetstone gave the Staff report on the Master Plan stating that Staff was
recommending approval of the Master Plan.
Ms. Whetstone gave the Staff report on the Preliminary, recommending approval with the
condition that an engineering analysis for the requested variance be submitted and accepted
by the City. She stated that the Stormwater Utility Department had reviewed the amended
storm drainage report for this request and has concerns which they felt had not been
adequately addressed. Stormwater Utility has asked for some conditions to be met prior to
final approval. Staff was also recommending a condition relating to the preliminary landscape
plan. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plan with the following conditions:
