CO 80522-0780 • (303) 221-67-0 • u MEETING DATE: May 10, 1993 ITEM: South Timberline Properties ODP and PUD APPLICANT: Eldon Ward Cityscape Design 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for an ODP for approximately 130 acres of undeveloped property, located on the east side of Timberline Road, approximately one half mile south of Harmony Road. The property is zoned ep, employment park. COMMENTS: 1. Light and Power has an existing overhead line running along Timberline Road from Harmony Road to serve the existing house. Light and Power will provide the site with underground power. Normal residential development charges would apply. 2. There is an existing sewer main along the south and east property lines. Water is located in the intersection of Harmony and Timberline Road, and will have to be extended at your cost, to the site. 3. A Master Utility Plan for the entire area would be helpful. 4. The ep, employment park, Zoning District requires residential uses to be reviewed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Project location signs must be located on platted property. 5. There is a proposed 10 acre park site located near the future Jr. High School. Parks and Recreation would like to see some street access to the park. Good pedestrian access should be provided throughout the ODP to provide connections to the school, park, and future employment areas. 6. Parkland fees of $625.00 per dwelling unit are payable at the time of building permit issuance. 7. The property is located in the McClellands-Mail Creek Drainage Basin. Stormwater development fees are $3717.00 per acre subject to the coefficient of run-off. 8. The drainage crossing of Timberline will need to be improved. Downstream improvements are still needed in this area. The City has programmed some of these improvements for 1994. 9. An overall drainage report and plan would be required for an area this large. 10. A standard stormwater submittal includes drainage and grading plans, drainage report, and an erosion control plan. 11. Addressing of the loop street should be discussed with Jim Hoff in Engineering. 12. Sight distance can be a problem on loop streets and may require dedication of sight distance easements on some lots. 13. The project will have obligations for improving Timberline Road and may have off -site obligations from Harmony to the site. A development agreement will be required. A standard engineering submittal will be required. 14. An overall traffic study would be desirable. There was a traffic study done for the Jr. High School which may be useful. One of the issues will be whether the connecting streets should be collector or local streets. Pedestrian and bicycle connections will also be important. 15. A minimum of 65% of the lots must meet requirements of the solar orientation ordinance. 16. A Planned Unit Development must meet the minimum density requirement of 3.0 dwelling units per acre. 17. Planning concerns include buffer treatment along the north property line, arterial streetscape and landscaping, fencing, pedestrian connections, and treatment of the open space areas. 18. Poudre Valley Hospital has purchased the property to the north. You should contact them to discuss this proposal and see what is planned for their property.
