CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: November 6, 1989
PROJECT: Platt/Mountainridge PUD
APPLICANT: Greg Hurst, EDAW, 240 E. Mountain, Fort Collins, CO 80524.
LAND USE DATA:
Request for a master plan for 88 acres, consisting of a church site, single
family and multi -family uses, located west of Shields, north of Wakerobin.
COMMENTS:
1. Power is available at Wakerobin and Seneca (at north edge of Johnson Ele-
mentary). Normal development charges will apply.
2. Water and sewer mains are in Wakerobin. Existing stubs must be used, or
abandoned at the main. The water main in Troutman is a low-pressure
main and therefore, cannot be used. A trunk sewer must be extended
from Shields to Seneca. There will be a repay for oversizing this sewer
trunk extension.
3. A master utility plan should be submitted with the PUD master plan.
4. The headgate for the lateral that serves Troutman Park will need to be
moved north of its current location. This lateral may be piped. The
financial responsibility for relocating this headgate is not determined as of
this time.
5. There is a master plan for a trail in the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal
corridor; however, the irrigation company typically does not encourage the
placement of trails along canals. Parks and Recreation would encourage
the applicant to design the trail system to coordinate with open space
throughout the site.
6. Development of this site would advance the planning for Westfield Park, to
the west of the site.
7. The existing regional detention pond may not be sized for detention for
this entire 88 acres.
8. A storm drainge report/plan and a grading plan will be required for
phases, A master drainage plan for the entire master plan area, detailing
the expected construction dates for regional drainage facilities, should be
submitted with the PUD master plan. There may be repays available to
the developer for the construction of regional drainage facilities.
L'
9. A traffic impact analysis will be required. This analysis must address
phasing of street improvements, the need (if any) for off -site street
improvements and improvements to Shields Street. Separating the traffic
study for the two portions of this site may provide a better separation of
the traffic impacts, for the purposes of determining street improvements.
10. "Michie Drive", as shown on the master plan, may function as more than a
local street, given its continuity on the master plan: This street should
function as a local street, with more traffic using the Troutman connec-
tion. Therefore, further consideration should be given to Michie Drive and
its placement on this master plan.
11. The future connection with Imperial Estates to the west needs to be evalu-
ated.
12. Street improvements will be based on the results of the Traffic Impact
Analysis.
13. Any variances to City street standards must be requested in writing by a
licensed engineer.
14. Shields Street improvements may be triggered by the development of por-
tions of this master plan. Street Oversizing funds would be used to partic-
ipate in Shields Street improvements. The need for and timing of such
improvements would be determined by the Traffic Impact Analysis.
15. A neighborhood meeting will be required prior to submittal of a formal
application. The area of notification is shown on the attached map.
16. The overall residential density of the master plan should exceed the mini-
mum gross density of 3 DU/acre. The mix of single family and multi-
family uses is good, given the location of existing schools in this area.
17. The concept for a trail system throughout this master plan is good, since
a good deal of pedestrian activity could be expected in the area, given the
existing school locations.
18. Coordination with the applicant on the property to the north, with respect
to utility and street extensions may be beneficial to both parties.
19. This master plan would be processed as an amendment to the existing PUD
master plan.
20. City staff will evaluate improvements required of this development, with
respect to the schools in the area and the District's lack of participation in
street improvements..
21. There is a repay on file for Wakerobin and Seneca. Matt Baker, Engineer-
ing Department, may be contacted for further informtion.
