NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Date: October 22, 1992
Project: Overland Hills West
Applicant: Jim Gefroh
Gefroh-Hattman, Architects
145 West Swallow Road
Fort Collins, CO. 80526
City Planner: Stephen Olt
This was a second neighborhood meeting held to discuss a
development proposal with the residents in this area. Mr. Jim
Gefroh, the property owner's local representative, presented a
conceptual plan to the respondents that proposes 63 single family
residential lots on 63.09 acres in the RF, Foothills Residential
Zoning District. This property is located at the west end of West
Horsetooth Road and north of County Road 38E. The potential
Overland Trail extension is within the property boundaries,
essentially at the east end of the development.
The following questions & answers, comments & responses, and
concerns were expressed at this meeting:
1. Question: My understanding of the City's street design
standards require construction of streets, curb & gutter, and
sidewalks with the development. Why is the street going to
— _____develop only on the west side at this time?
Answer: The City is not requiring the entire width of
Overland Trail to be built with Overland Hills West because
the traffic generated with this development alone does not
warrant a larger street. The City is in the process of
reviewing the Master Street Plan and -the determination of the
ultimate width of Overland Trail is part of this review.
2. Question: When will the Overland Trail extension continue to
County Road 38E?
Answer: That has not been decided at this time. Future
development will drive that need.
3. Comment: I don't want to see only one side of the street
built at this time.
4. Question: Will the landscaping be done on the east side of
the street at this time?
Answer: Yes, the street trees as shown on the Site &
Landscape Plan will have to be installed with the First Phase.
5. Question: Who determined where the Overland Trail location
will be?
Answer: The City is responsible for determining the location
of Overland Trail.
6. Question: Why aren't the developers who developed the First
and Second Filings of Overland Hills putting up the money to
complete Overland Trail?
Answer: Mr. Kim Stuart, the developer for Overland Hills
First and Second Filings, is responsible for the cost of
construction of the local street portions on both sides of
Overland Trail.
7. Question: How far away, time -wise, is a park in this area?
Answer: It is difficult to say at this time. Residential
development is a driving force in the construction of City
parks. Cottonwood Glen neighborhood park, east of Quail
Hollow, is anticipated to be under construction in about 5
years, again dependent on development.
8. Question: What is the time frame for this development?
Answer: That is dependent on the economy and other factors.
9. Question: You are planning 2 phases. The area in the middle
represents the first ridge? What is your time table for
development?
Answer: If the First Phase is started next -spring; then -the -
Second Phase could conceivably occur a year or two after that.
10. Question: What are the building restrictions on the upper
tier of lots?
Answer: No part of any structure can exceed the 5250'
elevation.
11. Question: I have heard that the Loveland -Fort Collins Water
District will not serve above the 5200' elevation, is that
true?
Answer: No, that is not true.
12. Question: Is the alignment for Overland Trail yet defined
south of Overland Hills West to County Road 38E?
Answer: No, it is not.
13. Question: Could/would the city condemn property to the south
to gain street right-of-way for Overland Trail to connect to
County Road 38E?
Answer: That possibility is very unlikely.
14. Question: The open space covenants in this project will look
like what?
Answer: This part of the development will have to be kept in
a natural state as similar to the existing conditions as
possible.
15. Question: Will the sewer require an off -site easement on the
property to the north?
Answer: Yes, that is a requirement that is being negotiated
now.
16. Question: Are you going to have recorded covenants?
Answer: If Kim Stuart develops this property there will be
protective covenants.
17. Comment: We would like adequate signage in this area to
prevent people who have no reason for being here out of this
area and to prevent excess traffic on Platte Drive and
Highlands West.
18. Question: Do you plan any fence separations for the proposed
public access easement along the north property line?
Answer: No, not -at -this time.
19. Question: What plans are there for a cross -walk across West
Horsetooth Road at Auntie Stone Street for safe access for
children to the school?
Answer: There is an existing cross -walk in that location. You
should contact the Poudre R-1 School District with concerns
about the operation of the cross -walk.
20. Question: Will any of the existing cottonwoods in Spring
Creek be impacted?
Answer: Yes, some will be impacted with the construction of
the Horsetooth Road bridge crossing over Spring Creek.
21. Question: Are
bicycle/pedestrian
overland Trail?
provisions being planned to maintain
access along West Horsetooth Road and
Answer: Yes, adequate street width and walkways are being
provided.
