Golf/Recreation Center APPLICANT: Jim Stephens 2190 West Drake Road, #405 Fort Collins, CO. 80526 LAND USE DATA: Request for two 18 hole miniature golf courses and one 9 hole executive chip & putt golf course. A driving range would be included and be the only night -lighted part of the site. The area proposed would be 35-50 acres. COMMENTS: 1. This property is in the rp - planned residential zone (with a PUD condition). Any request would have to go through the PUD review process. 2. There will not be any concerns from the City Building Department unless the proposed uses in any existing building exceeds 5,000 square feet. 3. Water and sewer to this property is served by Fort Collins -Loveland Water district and South Fort Collins Sanitation District. Please contact the districts with any questions. 4. Single-phase electric power is available to this property at the present time. Three-phase power is along South College Avenue and can be tapped into if necessary. This property owner would be responsible for payment of any electrical upgrades to the site. 5. There are some wetlands/sensitive areas on this property. It appears that you have considered them and planned your-- development _to_avoi.d_them_as much as possible. A representative from the City Natural Resources Department would like to walk this site with you. Please contact them at 221-6600 to schedule a time convenient for you. 6. This property is upstream from Robert Benson Reservoir and is located in the Fossil Creek Drainage Basin. It appears that approximately two acres associated with improvements will be impervious areas. A drainage report and drainage/grading plan is required as part of the formal submittal to the City. w r 7. There will be drainage basin fees of $2,274/acre assessed to this site only if the use is considered to be contributing to the basin. 8. The only access to this site will be from South College Avenue. The placement of this access will be critical. A transportation master plan for this area has not been done: A 35-50 acre tract of land is a significant amount of land and could conceivably create considerable traffic impacts. It will be necessary to provide a larger overview of the area from the transportation/traffic impact standpoint relevant to the proposed uses. 9. South College Avenue is a state highway and any request must deal with the state access code. A state access permit will be required, however, this is applied for through the City. 10. Street Right -of -Way dedication will be required along the South College Avenue frontage. The dedication will have to be 60' wide from the centerline of the highway. 11. Street oversizing fees of $3,342/acre will be assessed for the entire project. The fee would be based on traffic generation for this use. Please contact Matt Baker with city Engineering (221-6750) to discuss possible alternatives. 12. A 7' wide sidewalk would be required along the frontage at South College Avenue. The owner of the property would be responsible for the cost of 4' of the overall width. 13. Landscaping/buffering requirements will be determined at the time of formal review. There will be significant requirements along street frontages and around the periphery of the property. 14. The lights intended for use on the driving range must be designed so as not to allow spillage onto South College Avenue and adjacent properties. 15. All signage must comply with the City Sign Code.
