Land Use: The only requested land use is single family homes which is a use by right in the R-L-P zone district. All lots in the subdivision exceed the 6,000 square foot minimum lot size and the 60 foot minimum lot width as measured from the building line. Lot sizes range from 12,481 to 31,162 square feet. 3. Conditions of Approval: There were three conditions attached to the Preliminary approval. These conditions and their resolution are described below: A. First Condition: "A second point of access acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority be obtained, or Lots 12 through 17 must be provided with automatic fire extinguishing systems." A fire lane, denoted as Tract A, has been platted between Lots 17 and 18. Tract A is noted on the Plat to be used for emergency fire access only and to be maintained by the Clarendon Hills Homeowner's Association. The fire lane has been designed with cooperation from the Poudre Fire Authority and includes two vehicular gates with chains, two pedestrian gates, asphalt paving, and landscaping. The lane connects Abbey Road to Paradise Lane in Applewood Estates. This fire lane has been reviewed and accepted by the Applewood Homeowner's Association. B. Second Condition: "Street Standards be met or variances be obtained for non-standard street design." 0 • The Orchard at Clarendon Hills, Final Subdivision — #47-89C March 26 1990 Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Page 3 The applicant has provided the necessary documentation to the City Engineer as part of the request to vary two standard requirements. First, the design speed of 25 m.p.h. with a centerline radius of 165 feet has been evaluated and approved. Second, a local street width consisting of 28 feet of pavement on a 46 foot right-of-way has also been evaluated and approved. C. Third Condition: "Final Landscape plans be submitted addressing landscaping features and fencing." The applicant has submitted a separate landscape sheet that describes, in detail, the project entry landscaping, the fire lane landscaping, the detention pond landscaping, and the typical individual lot landscaping along the street frontage. In addition, a note has been added to the landscape plan indicating that fences along the southern property line (Lots 16 through 21) will be specified as three rail, split rail fence which will preserve the open character of the adjacent subdivisions. 4. Tree Preservation: The plat document contains a note that requires the applicant of a building permit to provide information to the City Forester regarding the number and location of existing trees on each lot. The City Forester may recommend any combination of preservation, pruning, removal or replacement of said trees. While it is recognized that the construction of streets, homes and driveways will necessitate the cutting of trees, it is acknowledged by the City that the large number of trees represents an outstanding natural feature that should be preserved insofar as possible. The legal justification for preserving outstanding natural features is found in Section 29-656 (d) (Design Standards) of the City Code: "Outstanding natural and cultural features such as scenic spots, watercourses and historic sites and buildings shall be preserved insofar as possible." RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that the request for Final Subdivision for The Orchard at Clarendon Hills is in compliance with the requirements of the R-L-P zone district and in substantial conformance with the approved Preliminary Subdivision. The three conditions of Preliminary approval have been satisfied. Staff, therefore, recommends approval.
