Hattman Gefroh-Hattman, Inc. 145 West Swallow Road Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Ric: City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Overland Hills, Second Filing, Preliminary Subdivision and offers the following comments: I. This request will need to go through the full subdivision review process due to the complexity of some of the issues associated with this project. The large lots as proposed, approximately 2.3 acres each, contradict the Land Use Policies Plan. and will require justification for development in this location and at this density. Policies cited include, but are not limited to, No's 3, 12, 13, 14, 75, 78, 79, 87, 89, and 92. 3. A 6' utility easement is required on each lot along the side lot line between Lots 2 & 4. 4. Utility easements adjoining Horsetooth Road and Horsetooth Court should be labeled as "Utility Easement". 5 A 50' wide trail easement shall be dedicated to the City of Fort Collins for the Spring Creek Trail, as identified in the Parks and Recreation Master -Plan. This may tie included—as—part—of—the75'—Utility—&—Drainage—Easement as shown. There is concern as to how the area between Proposed Overland Trail and Spring Creek will be developed. The entire width shown is not needed for the trail easement. The City should not be put in the position of building the east 1/2 of Overland Trail just because it owns the trail ROW. 6. It will be the responsibility of the developer to construct the local street portion of West Horsetooth Road extension and enter into an agreement with the City at this time to participate in the construction of the local street portion of a future Overland Trail exj�{�sion. Also, 1/4 of the cost of the local street portion of a bridge ovef Spring Creek will be an obligation of this development. 7. The engineering and stormwater concerns and potential impacts associated with future construction of Overland Trail extension arc significant and should be considered simultaneously. A preliminary level of design for t `�I:�\i'll:'.c` i�.', �. i:;:\ i(.� I:; q'l Cldliil:, 'ii.-._'-ll ,�(� i�i,la 22!-o-/l0 Overland Trail will be necessary to address the issues. A dedication for the intersection of West Horsetooth Road and Overland Trail will be required with this development. 9. The Stormwater Utilitydrainage concerns are as follows: Plat/Plans a) It is preferred to have Spring Creek in a Tract. The City will maintain natural drainageways. b) Show existing swales, culverts, and the pond outfall. Will the pond to the east be able to discharge into the curb & gutter? c) Extend the floodplain delineation to the south and show location of the existing residence to the south. Report a) Expand upon the downstream conditions. It is understand that there isn't a clearly defined outfall through the farmer's property to the north. what is the status of resolving this? It needs to be resolved prior to final approval. b) The calculations for the floodplain must take into account the extended Overland Trail. The Spring Creek Master Plan gives a floodplain delineation just north of Horsetooth Road extended. Yours must match this at Horsetooth Road. c) Some of the calculations need to be revised. Susan Hayes would like to walk the site with the engineer and architect prior to final design. Please contact her at 221-6589 to set up a time. 10. The bridge on West Overland Trail must meet the needs of heavy fire equipment. This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the—September-24; 1-990—P_lanning_and_Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due September 5, 1990 by 12:00 noon PMT's, colored renderings, revisions are due September 17, 1990 Final documents are due September 20, 1990 by 12:00 noon I suggest we meet to discuss these comments at your earliest convenience. Please contact the Planning Department to set up a meeting in the near future. Ith y, It Project Planner SO/gjt
