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 . - 1 - (1! cape urban design, inc. * 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 . • 2 —
