Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 RE: Platt Properties - Preliminary P.U.D. Dear Steve: We appreciate the timely completion of comments relating to our Platt Properties - Preliminary PUD submittal. We have reviewed these comments and offer the following response to your concerns: Paragraph 1) A revised Harmony West P.U.D Master Plan will be submitted with the revisions. The site plan and landscape plans are also submitted. We also feel it is important to note that our project proposes 109 single-family lots with an average area of approximately 9,000 sq. ft. No common areas, open space or home owners, association are proposed. Subdivided lots will be sold to various home builders and individuals. A Residential Uses Density Chart is attached as requested. Additional copies of the Planning Objectives are also attached as requested. Paragraphs 2 and 6) We have shown the phasing limits on the site plan and plat as requested. We have planned on dividing the project into two phases; Phase I. the southerly phase, will contain 69 lots and Phase II, the northerly Phase, will contain 40 lots. Matt Delich, the project Traffic Engineer, has provided a letter indicating that: i. traffic conditions in the area have not changed since the original study was completed and that the numbers from the original study could again be used for this development; and, 2. that the traffic generated from 69 lots of Phase I would not impact traffic conditions in the area. This letter is attached for your review. Paragraph 3) Lot areas and typical lot dimensions have been added to the preliminary plat and site plan. Some revisions have been made to the lot configurations increasing the total number of lots from 95 to 109. Street names will be provided on the final plat. Paragraph 4) Six (6) foot rear utility easements and eight (8) foot front utility easements have been added to the preliminary plat and site plan. Paragraph 5) A fifteen (15) foot wide utility easement along the north side of Wakerobin Lane has been added to the preliminary plat and site plan. Paragraph 7) A vicinity map has been addelpto the preliminary plat and site plan. Paragraph 8) Although the solar -orientation ordinance has yet to be finalized, we did take its general intent into consideration in the project design. We also want to offer choice and selection for home builders and owners for a variety of house designs. Paragraph 9) We will relocate the headgate on the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal when Troutman Parkway is constructed. We will coordinate this work with the ditch company. Paragraphs 10,11,12,13) We propose to develop 109 single-family residential lots. This development will have no open space areas or home owners association. It will be the responsibility of the individual home owners to maintain their rear, side and front yards. Fencing is a private choice and responsibility. Fencing guidelines for perimeter streets will be developed, incorporated as a site plan note and referenced in the proposed covenants. The detention pond shown is of a temporary nature and will be abandoned when the regional pond is completed to the north. We anticipate that our temporary pond, since it accepts drainage from the channel along Regency Drive will be maintained by the City of Fort Collins with the regional system. Our pedestrian/bicycle system will be accomplished along the existing street system. Links to the trail along the east side of the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal will be completed on the south side of Troutman Parkway and the north side of Wakerobin Lane. The City Traffic Division has indicated that they do not want pedestrian/bicycle connections to Seneca Street. They would prefer to have this traffic diverted to Regency Drive and Troutman Parkway where existing crossways are provided. We are also contacting the schools for their input. Paragraphs 15, 16, & 17) Discharge from this area will be diverted north into a regional facility or easterly into the Pleasant Valley and Lake canal. Easements and approvals for both of these alternatives will be secured prior to construction. These improvements and necessary approvals would be part of the Phase II development. Detention volume for Phase I improvements is provided by the existing regional detention facility on the south side of Wakerobin Lane. Paragraph 18) We have reviewed the construction plans for the existing channel along Regency Drive. We will provide the easement necessary to provide the room for the channel and drainage flows as identified by the final field surveys and drainage report. We are providing this reply along with the revised preliminary plat for your further review. We look forward to reviewing these comments and any additional concerns you may have. Sincerely, LIna Hopkin
