OAK/COTTONWOOD FARM
Statement of Planning Objectives
MARCH 10, 1989
Discussions between the Fort Collins City Staff and
representatives of the Oak and Cottonwood Farms have led to the
mutual conclusion that , although no definite plans for
development of the subject properties exist at this time , it is
appropriate that a Master Plan be formulated and approved . This
Master Plan is intended to be a tool to assist i.n :
- Determining the general street system serving the site and
adjacent properties . Areas of concern regarding the street
system include :
* The extension of Boardwalk south of Harmony Road ,
connecting with Keenland Drive at Lemay.
* The extension of Fossil Creek Parkway connecting with
South Ridge Greens Boulevard at Lemay.
* Possible extensions of Oak. Ridge Drive and Rule Drive.
* Improved future access to Werner Elementary School
The collector streets indicated on the proposed Master Plan
are consistent with the City's Master Street Plan.
- Define service area boundaries for City and private district
water and sewer utilities .
- Determine the general land use pattern anticipated with the
future development of the, area.
- Begin to explore a possible location for a neighborhood park
serving the residents of the area. Considerations affecting
the proposed neighborhood park location include :
* Because of the topography of the site , and the close
proximity of Fossil Creek Community Park , a combined
school/park site is not practical in this area.
* The existing neighborhoods to the west are in
unincorporated Larimer County , and each includes large
common open space areas .

* The proposed park location is central to the
residential areas that will pay for it through the
parkland fees collected with building permit
applications . [There is no neighborhood park serving
the Oak Ridge Village area east of Lemay. This park is
anticipated to serve the needs of the residents of Oak
Ridge Village , Oak/Cottonwood Farm, and the
non—contributing neighborhoods to the west .
* The proposed location represents a logical extension of •
the open space area included in the Healthcare
International site to the east .
* Irrigation with raw water is possible at the proposed
location ; either through a shared well with the HCI
property , or creation of an irrigation pond coordinated
with the anticipated drainage improvements at the
southeast corner of the site .
* The proposed site can be designed to gain adequate
access from future local streets . All other possible
locations would be adversely impacted by the extension
of Boardwalk Drive.
The land use pattern indicated on the Oak/Cottonwood Master
Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Policies Plan of the
City of Fort Collins , both with regard to neighborhood planning
and locational criteria for various land uses.
There is no definite phasing or development schedule for the
site . It is estimated that development of the subject properties
may begin as early as 1989 , and continue beyond 1995 . The land
uses indicated would provide employment for an estimated 2 , 000
persons .
