Dear Sherry:
The following are the planning objectives for Springbrook P.U.D.
Springbrook P.U.D. is located on the south side of West Drake Road 650
feet east of Taft Hill Road. It is zoned rp and is bounded on the east
by the Georgetown Townhouse Condominiums, on the south by the Spring
Creek Floodway and on the west by undeveloped land zoned bp.
The owner of the land, Mr. C.M. Burchfield, is going to sell the parcel
to Mr. Gary Mackey who will develop the single family subdivision. Mr.
Mackey will construct the single family homes.
The parcel is an "infill" project that has urban services including water,
sewer, gas, power, telephone and cable T.V. available adjacent to the
site. It has access to West Drake Road which is an arterial street that
has been improved by bits and pieces over the years. There is a proposed
capital project for 1994 to upgrade Drake Road.
There is an existing residence in the Northwest corner of the project
that faces and takes access from Drake Road. It is proposed to reverse
the garage on that lot in order to access the local street, Springbrook
Court, in the future.
One of the planning objectives was to create some open space along Spring
Creek to provide a continuation of the Spring Creek Bike Path. The open
space is mostly located in the Spring Creek Floodway. There is also
some open space provided along Drake Road to provide additional area
for a fence or wall and landscaping to mitigate traffic noise. A walkway
is provided for access to the Spring Creek open —area from the end of
the proposed cul de sac.
Because the site is zoned rp, it must have a gross density of three units
per acre. The developers would like to provide some two unit townhouses
on lots 1 thru 14 for retired or empty nesters. They feel there is a
market for this type of housing on the west side of Fort Collins. The
townhouses then increase the gross density to 3.8 per acre.
