Home My WebLink AboutOVERLAND HILLS SUBDIVISION 2ND FILING FINAL - 38 90C - CORRESPONDENCE - STAFF'S PROJECT COMMENTSDeveloper ` Services Planning Department December 21, 1990 Fredric 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 -Final Subdivision, and has the following comments to offer. A bearing and distance should be provided for the portion of the section line between the Northwest Corner of Section 33 and the northwest corner of Overland Hills, Second Filing Subdivision. 2 -, The primary point of access to Overland Hills is the intersection of West Horsetooth C Road and Platte Drive into Springfield Subdivision, 6th filing. What is the distance from the northeast corner of Overland Hills to the intersection of West Horsetooth and Platte Drive? The distance from the northeast corner of the subdivision to the center point of the cul-de-sac on Horsetooth Court is 632'. The standard 660' maximum distance from single point of access to satisfy the emergency fire access code requirement must be addressed with this development. An option would be to provide �� fire sprinkler systems in each home. �'� a---.b(w . U 3. ) A fencing setback along West Horsetooth Road should be considered to avoid the �� "canyon effect' that frequently occurs along major thoroughfares when fences are built right up to the ROW's, allowing for only minimal separation between fences on either side of the road. t4+e, 2 vn V,o„� 4. TRACT "A" should be dedicated to the City for Drainage & Future Trail purposes (it is not a Utility & Drainage Easement nor open space, as shown). This will make potential buyers of the adjacent lots aware that there will be a trail here and it is not going to remain as undeveloped open space. If the alignment of Overland Trail extension is contiguous to this tract, City Parks & Recreation will not participate in the road construction. Also, TRACT "A" is to accommodate the floodwav only, as provided with the First Filing. A drainage easement outside of the tract to accommodate the floodolain will be necessary. 5. The HEC-2 analysis for the floodway/floodplain delineation must be completed and an off -site drainage easement on the property to the north of West Horsetooth Road must be provided prior to final approval. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. &ix 580 • Fort Collins, CO S0522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 6. The City Natural Resources Department has concerns about the provision of adequate space in the Spring Creek basin to allow for a bicycle/pedestrian trail that may double with habitat enhanced areas, primarily through landscaping. The west lot lines for Lots 1 & 4 range from 60' to 90' away from Spring Creek. Is this adequate buffer between the proposed septic systems and the creek? Natural Resources is requesting that Larimer County Environmental Health review the situation. _ / Water service will be provided by Fort Collins -Loveland Water District. 8. At the present time there is no sewer service available to this property. Eventually, the Dixon Creek sewer main (3/4 of a mile north of this site) will be extended south from the Quail Hollow Subdivision. If septic systems are proposed for the interim, means of assuring that a main is built into Overland Hills Subdivision and that the homeowners connect to that main must be provided at this time. Please contact either Jerry Blehm or Rich Grossman at the Larimer County Environmental Health Department to determine the siting criteria requirements for installation of an on -site septic system in the City. 9/ Building envelopes for each lot should be shown on the plat due to the potential ✓ floodplain implications on this subdivision. + C e,. 6�J W_i.-l-,l-N [60 tc�4eet,�/ _� PUT"` G .[.t v�2 a��i t�oY� . 10. Funds must be deposited with the City for the local share of West Horsetooth Road west of the proposed end of construction phase. •pet�� \ AeffoGe , G_- w/1� IL Lot 1 must be graded properly for future construction of West Horsetooth Road to occur without disruption to that lot. Adequate notation must be added to the Final Plat to assure that future owners are informed and understand that improvements are still to be done pr the improvements to West Horsetooth must be constructed at this time. 12. The developer should contact Light & Power to discuss the requirements needed to complete this project. Both Overland Hills, First & Second Filings have special problems that will need to be overcome before L & P will be able to provide power to these projects. There are also special problems associated with developing the remaining portion of Overland Hills, Phases C through E. The developer should contact Light & Power early in the planning process to discuss how power will be provided to these parcels. 13. Three phase power is currently available at the northwest corner of West Horsetooth Road and Auntie Stone Street. This is approximately 1/2 mile east of the proposed subdivision. Alignment and elevation for curb and gutter along the north side of the street will need to be determined to provide off -site access to the development. In addition, ROW will have to be dedicated or an easement acquired to install the electric system. The location for a 10' x 10' electric vault will also need to be determined. All the costs associated with the acquisition of off -site access including easements will be the responsibility of the developer. If future street alignment is not determined an easement will need to be acquired and an overhead electric line will be built. All costs associated with the acquisition of Off - site access including easements and the construction of an overhead line will be the responsibility of the developer. 14.• ;' Please clarify the purpose of the 10' easement along the south and east property lines of the subdivision. Also, an additional 6' utility easement will be necessary on Lots I & 4 parallel to the Drainage & Future Trail parcel. 15. An oval vault will be installed behind the curb between Lots 2 & 3. The water services shown in this location will have to be moved to mid -lot. This vault will be used as a source for Overland Hills, First and Second Filings. 16. West Horsetooth Road to Overland Trail extension, including the intersection of the two streets, will have to be designed at this time. 17. The ditch between the back of curb and sidewalk is not compatible with underground power and street trees to be installed between curb & walk. 18. Future sewer is not shown. Show where it will be so that streets will not need to be torn up at a later date. 19. The walk on one side, f Horsetooth Court is not required since this street serves large, rural lots. However, "e sidewalk is recommended by City Transportation Department to provide access to the elementary school for the children via West Horsetooth Road. This concludes staff comments at this time.
