All intersections must be designed in accordance with details D-18 and D-19 in Design Criteria and Standards for Streets. 18. Further utility comments are red -lined on the utility plans. It will be necessary to resubmit the 10 sets of utility plans for the final review in complete form. This re -submittal may cause the Final to be delayed until the January Planning and Zoning Board hearing. 19. Please relocate the fire hydrant on Lot 10 to the lot line between Lots 10 and 11. Also, please add a fire hydrant at the end of Rochdale Drive. 20. Street trees should be added along Horsetooth Road. These trees should be two inch caliper deciduous shade trees and space every 40 feet, but should be kept 40 feet away from streetlights. Ornamental trees may be placed within the 40 foot separation area but must be kept 15 feet away from streetlights. 21. The crabapple varieties should be specified to be "Radiant" and/or "Springsnow". 22. Please add the following notes to the landscape plan: "A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of- way ,. " "All landscaping must be installed or secured with an irrevocable letter of credit, performance bond, or escrow account for 125% of the valuation of the materials prior to :issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy." 23. The plat and landscape plan should contain notes that clearly state that maintenance of the detention pond tracts will be by the homeowner's association, not the City of Fort Collins. 24. The shrub locations, type, and size should be indicated on the plan. 25. Please include the attached detail on dryland planting on the plans. 26. Enclosed please find the recommended seed mixture for dryland areas. Please add this mixture to the landscape plan. 27. The proposed entry signage does not presently comply with the Sign Code. Only one sign per entrance is allowed. The plan shows one sign on each side of each entrance meaning there are two signs; per entrance. Signs can be no larger than 35 square feet. Sign area is calculated by including that portion of the sign structure which exceeds 1.5 times the area of the sign face. As calculated, each sign is approximately 100 square feet. Please contact Mr. Peter Barnes, Zoning Administrator, for details on allowable signage. 28. Please include a vicinity on the Final. Also, please correct the page numbering to one of two and two of two. This concludes Staff comments at this time. As mentioned, the extensive comments related to the utility plans on the Final will likely result in the Final being considered at the January, not December Planning and Zoning Board hearing. In order to keep the Preliminary on schedule for the December 16, 1991 hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due November 27, 1991. P.M.T.'s, 10 prints, and renderings are due December 9, 1991. If you have arty questions or would like to set up a meeting, please do not hesitate to call our office.

The intersections of Antelope/Wescott, Antelope/Chipperfield, Antelope/Bromley and Kingsley/Newgate should be modified so that they align at 90 degrees. 2. Staff is concerned about corner sight distance along Kingsley at Appleton and Newgate. Lots 52, 51, 31, and 30 may need to dedicate sight distance easements. The fencing and landscaping within these easements must be restricted so as to not cause: sight visibility problems for motorists at these intersections. 3. Staff is also concerned about the seven double frontage lots on Stratford Court and the two on Rochdale Court (Lots 147, 148, 169 - 175). Section 29-658 (b) of the Zoning Code states: "Lots with both front and rear frontage on a street shall not be permitted except where necessary to provide separation from arterial streets or from incompatible land uses." If at all possible, this situation should be corrected to meet the requirement of the Zoning Code. If double frontage lots cannot be avoided, then a variance request must be submitted by the applicant and forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board. 4. If a variance is requested to allow double frontage lots, then vehicular access from Kingsley Drive must be prohibited. Such a prohibition must be noted on the document. In addition, a non -vehicular access should be indicated across the rear of the affected lots. 281 North Colle;,e Avenue • P.O. Box 7;80 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 5. Similarl,y, if double frontage lots are desired, then common fencing should be provided along the Kingsley streetscape. Such fencing should be designed to match the proposed fencing along the rear of lots along Antelope Road. The landscape plan indicates six foot shadow box design with 1 x 6 cedar pickets with dog eared tops, with 1 x 2 batten board between pickets. Brick pillars are indicated at certain intervals. Also, the continuous fence should be broken up with indentations which also allow space for plant material. These indentations will minimize the "stockade" or "canyon" effect. Please :indicate the fencing treatment for the Kingsley streetscape on the current plans. 6. Back in 1987 , there was an issue with attached versus detached sidewalks along Kingsley. The standard for collectors is to detach the sidewalk for pedestrian safety since speeds are higher on collectors, and to provide a place for snow storage during plowing. These standards are on page D-2 of the Design Criteria and Standards For Streets. 7. The standard parkway width for detached sidewalks is five feet. This width is adequate for underground electrical facilities but is not adequate to allow street trees. At the developer's option, the parkway width may be increased to 10 feet to allow separation of street trees from underground electrical facilities. The City Forester will assume responsibility for street trees after the subdivision has been completed. This is an optional design that is suggested based on the value of providing street trees (two inch caliper deciduous trees every 40 feet) along the primary collector street. The additional five feet required for utility separation may be dedicated as right-of-way or an easement. Please keep in mind that Kingsley will act as an important design element in the English Ranch and may eventually lead to neighborhood park. 8. Columbine Cable requests that rear yard utility easements be indicated. 9. The Parks and Recreation Department is interested in acquiring a neighborhood park site in this area. It is advantageous to both the City and the School District to locate facilities adjacent to each other for maintenance and parking efficiency. The size of the park is undetermined at this point. The Parks and Recreation Department would like to begin the acquisition process by discussing the purchase of 25 lots south of Bison Road and. west of Kingsley Drive (Lots 80 -99, 103 -107). Since this area is in Phase Two, negotiations should not hold up the Final request. Please contact Leslie Bryson or Randy Balok at 221-6640 for further details. If preliminary discussions are favorable, please list "Possible Neighborhood Park" as an alternative land use for the area south of Bison and west of Kingsley. 10. Staff is: concerned about pedestrian access to the Linton Elementary School and the future neighborhood park. The route from Appleton and Newgate Courts to the school and park destinations is circuitous and includes a section along a collector street. In order to promote pedestrian circulation and safety, a pedestrian path should be provided along the west property line within the 20 foot drainage easement. Since the easement is for an existing underground pipe, and not swale, it would be a logical and safe location for a six foot wide concrete path. Such a path was constructed between Sunstone and Fox Meadows and was supported by the residents and the school officials, and provides safe, direct access to the Linton School. 11. Connections to the aforementioned path should be made between Lots 42 and 43 on Appleton Court and between Lots 61 and 62 on Newgate Court. These connections could be five feet wide and flanked by side yard fencing. The northern terminus would be the sidewalk on the south side of Antelope Road. The southern terminus would be the north side of Bison Road. The design of a transition into the existing Sunstone detention pond would be based on field conditions. Ultimately, a path could be connected into the playground area of Linton School. 12. It should be noted on the preliminary that a temporary second point of access will be provided from Fox Meadows along the Bison Road alignment. 13. Please replace the vicinity map as it is out of date. Newer maps will show Sunstone Subdivision, Caribou Drive, and current annexations and zonings. Also, please provide street names that are legible. Final: 14. The utility plans need extensive work to complete the design. It is not: clear which utilities will in the easement along the west side of Lots 70 - 76 (east side of Kingsley Drive). It may be that this easement will need to be larger. The same concern relates to the north side of Lots 70, 84, 85, 91, 92, and 98 (s;outh side of Antelope Road) . Will these easements be large enough to accommodate the necessary utilities? 15. Antelope Road will require some offsite improvements to the west n order to connect to the proposed development with Fox Meadows. 16. The dead -ends should be designed to have temporary turn- arounds which should be dedicated as offsite easements. This may be done on the plat if the owner is one of the signatures on the document.
