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
