Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (3013) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: April 22, 1991 ITEM: Pinecone PUD APPLICANT: Eldon Ward, c/o Cityscape, 3030.S. College, #200, Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request for a 238-acre Overall Development Plan, located at the. northeast corner of Horsetooth and Timberline. COMMENTS: 1. Power is available on the north side of. Horsetooth and the_ west side of Timberline. 2. Water and sewer is available in Timberline. Water is also available along the north side of Horsetooth Road. "A Master Utility Plan should be included as part of the submittal. 3. If a school site is desired on this site, the school site should be larger (18-20 acres) to combine with a park site. 4: The proposed street loop needs to have other local street access alternatives. 5. Staff encourages the use of lower maintenance plant materials and a more naturalistic approach to landscaping, where appropriate. :. 6. The site is within the Foothills Basin. The applicant may want to consider revising the basin master plan. Any changes proposed to the basin master plan should generally comply with the original intent of the plan. 7.: The basin outfall'will be to the south and east, along•"the.""., nor.th- side of Horsetooth Road. 8. The proposed lake may be used for detention for areas north of the lake. 9. The Stormwater Utility will be updating the hydrology and design through the Agronomy Farm and designing the outfall system. Depending on timing, this information may be of use for this development. 10. The basin fee for the Foothills Basin is $5,024 per acre. J 11. Detention requirements may need to be modified if the basin master plan did not assume land uses as intense as the proposed development plan. 12. The proposed north/south street along the east edge of the site may not be "buildable", in terms of tying the construction commitment for this street to the appropriate property owner/developer. This street at the east edge of the site should be shifted closer to this site, to provide an alternative collector street system that better serves the eastern portion of the development. Such a street location would also better relate Horsetooth Road access to the site. 13. The traffic loop should not be shown since it .is a local street. Other local streets should also be removed (connection between Parcels F & G). 14. A traffic study for the entire 238-acre site must be done. 15. Timberline Road is shifted to the east. The City will purchase 10' out of the total 70' of dedication. The roadway will be constructed 70' from the curb and gutter along the west side of Timberline Road. 16. Street Oversizing fee is $584 per dwelling unit. 17. Access to the outparcel along Timberline 1%oad needs to be evaluated and may best be served by providing an internal alternative to Timberline road. 18. Rezoning from T-Transition will be necessary. Staff would recommend the IP-Industrial Park Zone (with PUD condition) for areas intended for industrial development and RP -Planned Residential (with PUD condition)'for any residential areas.
