HomeMy WebLinkAboutGREENRIDGE AT SOUTHRIDGE GREENS PUD - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2004-08-09Project Description TRACT J .AT SOUTHRIDGE GREENS PHASE VI i4arch 5, 1984 The iesign concept of this phase of development of the SouthRidge Greens area introduces the executive lot lifestyle to the area. Tract J is proposed to be subdivided into 30 lots of approximately 11,000 S.F. each for fee simple ownership. The area is to be served by the final extension of SouthRidge Greens Boulevard to the south and thus complete the vehicular traffic loop throughout the Planned Unit Development. Emergency vehicle access shall be provided through the use of an all weather, 20' wide access road to the east of the tract, which will connect back to SouthRidge Greens 3oulevard through Tract I to the north. This development maintains the master plan intent for the area as a whole in providing one more lifestyle for potential buyers and in doing so addresses the demand for larger home sites offering superb views, golf course orientation, and a sense of exclusivity previously unoffered at SouthRidge Greens. The development and maintenance of those areas designated on the site plan as open space/outlets shall be the responsibility of an established homeowners association. The development and i; laintenance of individual lot open space shall. be the responsibility of the specific lot owner, however this shall be under strict con°;rol and enforced by written covenants intended to set forth requirements and review the individual open space developement. This area shall create a sub -neighborhood within the SouthRidge :greens aria, The bordering open space is exclusively Golf Course area. This tract was selected for this executive lot development because of its unique location and site conditiens, lending itself to a more isolated neighborhood, and the opportunity for creative custom home arch-tecture. Each lot owner shall nave the right to select the areh-tect of his choosing, ,yet strict architectural guidelines must be adnerea to, and all designs shall be reviewed by an architectural control committee. Each individual home shall be under covenant to assure the most beneficial use of energy efficient materials and site orientation. C'he area features sloping ground oriented to the south and east for optimum solar exposure and the availability for garden Tavel living spaces. Each lot has views over lower lots below. A natural drainage way through the middle of the tract has been preserved as an additional amenity. The expected start of construction of homes an this tract is summer 1934. The projected build -out, dependant on market absorption .'s expected to be completed by mid 1986. March 5, 1984 Project No.: 217-16 Bonnie Tripoli City of Fort Collins Planning Department P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Co. 80522 Re: Green Ridge at SouthRidge Greens Preliminary Plat Dear Bonnie: engineering profeTonal inc. This letter is to request several variances to Fort Collins Street Design Criteria for the referenced project. As is shown on the accompanying map three requests are made. Minimum tangent distance on the intersecting street at the intersection of SouthRidge Green Boulevard and Green Ridge Court is not adequate criteria #1.02.03.04. However the intersection as shown maintains 200' stopping sight distance. Moving the intersection southwest to increase this tangent would steepen the approach grade on Green Ridge beyond 2 percent. We feel the acute angle is more desi-rable than the steep grade. Two curves on the site have 165 foot radii allowed in Table 2 for 25 mph streets. we request the streets be designated 25 mph. The traffic justification is that the volume is on the affected streets below 200 ADT and no through traffic will use the streets. The planning constraint that requires tight radii is the narrowness of the site (440' wide). This width does not permit a large radius turn from the road at the top of the ridge to the one at the bottom of the ridge. Finally a double entry cul-de-sac is shown at the extreme terminal of the road system. This cul-de-sac creates a 900 bend with a very smal l radius. Table 2 of the Criteria allows no radius smaller than 165'. Because of the location there will be uI` 3031226-3852 • 2625 Redwing Road • Drake Executive Plaza, Suite 110 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 no through traffic. Local traffic will generate much less than 100 trip ends per day. The concern of high speed traffic running past the bend onto private property is reduced by a central landscape island which may be signed for further protection. The alternate to a double entry cul-de-sac would be a pain of cul-de- sacs both in excess of 650 feet. The two cul-de-sac alternative would _provide worse emerqencv access and would create a larger number of flag lots. Neither of which is desirable. Sincerely, ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS, INC.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Co. 80522 Re: Greenridge at SouthRidge Greens Preliminary Plat. Dear Bonnie: As submitted the preliminary plat of Greenridge at SouthRidge Greens P.U.D. shows a horizontal offset between road centerlines of 173 feet. Since the minor road forms an "L" intersection and not a "T" or "X", I am not sure of how street criterion 1.02.03.O1e. is to be interpreted. Criterion 1.02.03.O1e. requires streets intersecting opposite sides of a local street to be offset by 200 feet. If the 900 bend at 34 foot centerline radius of a GreenRidge Circle is considered an :intersecting street and not a continuous street then we request a variance to the referenced requirement. The "L" intersections are an attention demanding slow speed manuver, but they do not involve the traffic conflict points that a "T" intersection would. Therefore the hazard is not as great as having two true intersections on a through street. Greenridge Circle serves only 11 lots with direct access. For the low volume of traffic expected on the circle the 100 foot tangent between streets should provide adequate stacking. Cars waiting to turn onto SouthRidge Greens Boulevard won't stack up back to the "L". In our belief that an "L" and a "T" does not present the same hazard that 2 offset "T" intersections produce we request a variance to allow 173 foot centerline offset for the street alignment shown.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Co. 80522 To whom It May Concern: we have analysed the water system to and within SouthRidge Greens to determine the available fire flow to Tract J. Under peak hour flow conditions approximately 1800 gpm fire flow would be available without completing the 6" loop to the northwest of Tract J. That loop would be closed during the development of Tract I. If you have any questions please contact us at our office. Sincerely yours, ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS, INC. G, John P McGinn, P.E.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Re: Greenridge at SouthRidge Greens Mauri: engineering GppnDfe�Bional S inc. Project No.: 217.16 According to the development agreement between the City of Fort Collins and the Bucain Corporation for Greenridge Subdivision, 150% of the estimated cost to extend SouthRidge Greens Boulevard to the SouthRidge Greens south property line is required to be escrowed with the City. This requirement can be found on page 6 under Special Conditions in the agreement, a copy of which is attached. Our estimate to complete the street is also attached. Concrete and paving prices used were from the Flatiron Paving Company quote dated September 10, 1984 which is also attached. Since the money for extending SouthRidge Greens Boulevard must be paid to the City prior to the release of any building permits, we would like to get it paid. Please review the cost estimate we have prepared and ].et me know what we need to do from this point so building permits don't get held up. If you have any questions concerning the estimate or need any additional information or materials for your review of the estimate please call me at 226-3852. BWS:psm 2625 Redwing Rd.

Engineering Professionals, Tue., to Mauri Rupel, letter dated January 14, 1985. 2. 3outhRidge Greens Boulevard extension cost estimate worksheet dated January 11, 1985. The Street Extension is estimated to cost $14,888.23. The Development Agreement recuires an escrow of funds in the amount of $22,332.34 for the future development of the street extension (one and one half times the estimated cost). As it is probable that this extension will not be required in the foreseeable future, we would request that the payment of the cost of the roadway in the amount of approximately $14,900, be paid in cash at this time. The interest accumulated on the funds tendered will more than offset the cost of the roadway extension. Our question: Bonnie, accomplished? Thank you effort on our behalf.
