Dear Don,
Staff has reviewed your submittals for the 400 West Mountain/Oak
Neighborhood Association Overall Development Plan and the 424 West
Oak P.U.D., Preliminary, and would like to offer the following
comments:
400 West Mountain/Oak Neighborhood Assoc. O.D.P.:
1. Reiterating the conceptual review comments from December 23,
1992:
a) The area west of the alley could be proposed as an
Overall Development Plan, to include land use conversions
to professional office use. The ODP would also address
re -use of existing structures, parking constraints, and
other self-imposed restrictions for this area. Each phase
for each specific development proposal would then be
required to be submitted and approvedas both a
preliminary and final P.U.D. site plan. The specific land
use of each development plan is considered at the
preliminary plan stage. There is no expiration of the
ODP, but preliminary and final P.U.D. site plans expire
within three years of the date of -approval, unless the
approved plan is undertaken.
b) There is no water main in Oak Street. The applicant may
want to think about this, depending on the nature of
development plans for this area.
c) There is no sanitary sewer in Sherwood Street.
d) Undergrounding of primary lines along the alley is
planned by Light & Power; however, crossing Mountain
Avenue has been/is the obstacle.
2. Transportation Department's concern is that adequate parking
is planned for the various uses. Is the on -street parking
proposed to be striped as shown?
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750

3. What is the condition and the existing surface of the alley
between Mountain Avenue and Oak Street?
4. Light & Power has stated that it is important to make sure
that the existing underground electric lines are in dedicated
easements, primarily the one serving 428 West Oak Street
(Bastian residence) where it crosses the future
Richmond/Williams residence on Sherwood Street.
5. The plan should clearly define and delineate what is in the
O.D.P. and what is out. Possibly heavier line weights around
the Larimer County building and the two residences on Sherwood
Street would help.
6. The heading "Compatible Uses" is inappropriate in that all the
uses are not allowed in the NCM zoning district and
compatibility will be determined with the P.U.D. A more
correct term would be "Proposed Uses". There are additional
requirements in the Code on the two-family dwellings,
essential P.U. & P.S. (?, would help to spell out), and public
or private schools in existing structures., This information
should be added to the O.D.P. A note accompanying this stating
that these proposed uses are estimates should be added. Why
are other permitted uses in the NCM zone not included in this
list?
7. The West Side Neighborhood Plan defines this area as a
conservation area with the intent to retain a low -density
residential character. Office uses and boarding, rooming,
tourists homes are not permitted in this zone. Please refer to
the West Side Neighborhood Plan. Copies of this plan are
available in the City Planning offices.
8. Compatible uses and permitted uses in the NCM zoning district
are not necessarily one in the same. The note "Compatible land
uses are allowed as uses -by -right on these lots" on the Fry
and George residences needs to be changed. "Compatible uses"
will be approved only through the P.U.D. process.
9. It is unclear what the note stating "To remain NCM/conversion
through the P.U.D. process" on the Roth/Carter and Bastian
residences means. What is the intended use?
10. The parking data doesn't seem to add up with what is shown on
the plan. Also, the Larimer County building and the two
duplexes on Sherwood Street are not part of this O.D.P.;
therefore, they should not be included in the data.
11. 'All property owners included as part of this Overall
Development Plan must sign the plan. The Owner Certification
must be expanded to accommodate this.

12. The planning objectives have a number of statements that are
unclear or incorrect. I would like to meet with you to discuss
this portion of the O.D.P.
13. The City Stormwater Utility has said that an overall drainage
report is necessary with this request. This report must be
received by Monday, August 3rd, to enable this request to stay
on the agenda for the August 24th Planning and Zoning board
hearing.
14. A master utility plan must be approved for this request.
424 West Oak P.U.D.. Preliminary:
✓ 1. A vicinity map is needed on the Site Plan.
2. What type of office use is being proposed? This is not
indicated at all on the Site Plan and very vague on the
building plans.
3. Where are the 4 off-street parking spaces? It is essential to
know what the intended uses are to be able to evaluate the
parking requirements.
4. Any new residential uses will be subject to the City parkland
fees of $625/dwelling unit, to be collected at the time of
issuance of building permits.
5. The sign location does not meet City Code. the sign must be on
the 424 West Oak lot entirely and also be 15' from the side
lot lines.
6. The garage being built on both 420 and 424 West Oak cannot be
built as shown on 420 as a use -by -right. An administrative
change to the 420 West Oak approval may be possible or 420
West Oak needs to be a part of this P.U.D. to allow the garage
to be built between properties.
7. What is the surface condition of the alley between Mountain
and Oak Streets? this will need to be discussed if it is not
paved.
8. A utility plan may be required if new services are planned.

9. A copy of Stormwater Utility's comments is attached.
10. Slope grades should be indicated. What is the inversion of
ramps (slope and distance) to 420 and 424 West Oak? A
handicapped parking space is required.
11. A Residential.Density chart and Business Service Uses point
chart were not received with. the submittal. An energy
conservation work sheet is required if you are wanting to earn
points for energy conservation.
12. Are any architectural changes being proposed to this property?
If so, this should be spelled out on the Site Plan.
13. Are the existing trees to be retained? This should be clearly
noted.
14. The Solar Orientation Ordinance applies to the residential
uses. How has this been addressed?
15.
A north
arrow and scale
is needed
on the
plan.
16.
The date
on the Planning
and Zoning
Board
block (on the O.D.P.
also) needs to be changed from 1990 to 1992.
17. What does "see plans" refer to on the Richmond/Williams
residence on Sherwood Street? Is it part of this plan?
18. The Preliminary site Plan is not actually a plat. A
Preliminary Plat is not required; however, A final Plat will
be required.
