Issues discussed at the meet- ing are as follows: 1. Detention Area Improvements As mentioned in staff summary, the construction of downstream improvements within Foothills Basin Drainageway will be completed with the development of Five Oaks Village. The detention area with- in Tract A will not permanently retain water to then be absorbed into the ground which presently exists. 2. Installation and Maintenance of Landscaped Areas Detailed landscape plans will be provided at final site plan review which specifies type, size and location of planting material. Land- scape maintenance will be the responsibility of the Five Oaks Village Homeowner's Association. 3. Windmill Drive Extension On July 2, 1985 the City Council approved the Amendment to the Cunningham Corner Master Plan which eliminated the connection of Windmill Drive to Woodwest Subdivision. The developer has accepted the following City staff's recommendations regarding landscape treat- ment of the Windmill Drive stud: The existing pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, etc. in Windmill Drive be removed and replaced with an acceptable ground cover treatment, the cost of which will be borne by the developer. mm Joe Frank July 15, 1985 Page Two ° The developer bears the cost of any removal or relocation of exist- ing utilities, including shutting off at the main. The applicants should provide the necessary vacation or dedication documents of any unneeded easements. ° A sidewalk will be provided between Gunnison Drive and Richmond Drive. The developer should bear the cost of installation of the sidewalk and dedicate the required public access easements. ° The developer will fulfill these requirements as part of the approval of any future phases of the Cunningham Corners Master Plan. 4. Air Quality Impact of Fireplaces The City is currently evaluating impacts of wood burning fireplaces and stoves to the air quality of Fort Collins. 5. Impact on Schools This project is designed to appeal to several age and income groups such as young professional couples, "pre -empty nesters," and retired couples, in addition to couples with small families. Families with school age children are estimated to be a small precentage of total residents of Five Oaks Village. 6. Traffic Impact on Shields Street and Horsetooth Road A traffic impact study prepared for Cunningham Corner including Five Oaks Village concludes that traffic generated from this project should not adversely impact Shields Street or Horsetooth Road. The study also recommends that a traffic signal be installed for the intersection of Horsetooth and Shields with future development of Cunningham Corner and other nieghboring development. 7. Dust, Erosion, and Weed Control The developer will work with City's staff during Final Site Plan review to develop measures to adequately control dust, erosion and weeds.

A minimum fifteen foot setback from the rear of the curb or sidewalk will be required for installation of utilities. This 15 foot wide space needs to be dedicated as utility easements. All utility easements should be shown on the site plan and should not overlap building envelopes. The drain tile on Richmond Drive will conflict with underground utilities - can this line be installed in the street? 2. Public sidewalks should be designed to City standard. Also, the City will not pay oversizing for sidewalk widths beyond City standard. The preliminary plan indicated a sidewalk between buildings A and B, but appears to be deleted from the final plan. Please provide evidence to justify the elimination of the sidewalk. Handicapped ramps should be noted at all pedestrian crossing areas. 3. Edge treatment of driveways should be indicated. Note #9 should indicate that 18 feet will also be measured from back of sidewalk. Special paving patterns should be described on the site plan. OI FICC OF COMMUNITY I 300 LaPorte Ave. - F.O.

Building C does not appear to meet 150 foot fire access requirements. Rear patio fences on Buildings C and H must have space between side of building and fence to allow fire fighter passage to meet 150 fire access requirement. Location of fire hydrants should be shown on site plan. The Police Department has several comments - see me for details. 5. The intersection of the two parking clusters may create circulation problems. Please provide evidence to justify the plan. 6. The soils report is out of date. The report should include information on corrosiveness of soils. Please provide necessary information. 7. All signs must comply with sign code. Only one sign per entrance to development will be allowed. 8. Fence locations should be shown on site plan. Height of wood fences should be indicated on the site plan. 9. Curbing should be provided around landscaped areas. Please note on site plan. Additional landscape comments are forthcoming. 10. Building dimensions within footprints should be indicated. 11. Exact energy conservation measures should be noted on the site plan, including a written statement indicating expected savings. 12. The site (plan should indicate the surface treatment of remaining portion of Five Oaks Village not developed as part of this phase indicating seeding, grading, dust and weed control measures. 13. Building elevations should indicate proposed colors. Also, the extent of proposed use of materials is unclear on the building elevations. 14, The City Council placed certain conditions on the approval of the Master Plan regarding the elimination of the existing Windmill Drive stub. These conditions will need to be addressed with this phase of development. I think we should meet to discuss this issue. 15. 8 1/2" x 11" PMT reductions of all plans, colored renderings of the site and building elevations, and ten full size copies of all plans (excluding subdivision plat) should be submitted no later than noon on September 16, 1985. 16. Signed mylars of the site, landscape plan and building elevations including a signed "Site and Landscape Covenants" document should be submitted no later than noon on September 19, 1985. Five Oaks Village Comments August 21, 1985 Page 3 I would recommend we meet as soon as possible to discuss the above comments. Revisions to the plans (three copies) should be submitted to me no later than September 4. It is extremely important that the above deadlines be followed if the item is to be considered at the September meeting of thie Planning and Zoning Board. If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me. Si fterel y Joe Frank Semi r City Planner V CC: Bonnie Tripoli, Development Coordinator CITY OF FORT COLLINS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION March 13, 1985 Frank Vaught ZVFK Architects/Planners Eleven Old Town Square, Suite 200 Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Frank, The staff has. reviewed the application for preliminary PUD approval of Five Oaks Village at Cunningham Corners PUD and offers the following comments: 1. The deletion of the extension of Windmill Drive and reconfiguration of the Traci: H will require an amendment to the approved Master Plan for Cunningham Corners. This amendment will need to be approved prior to consideration of the Five Oaks Village PUO. The amendment will need to be formally submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board, i.e., April 5th, 20 copies, planning objectives, APO's, application fee, etc. Written evidence should be provided as to how the reconfiguration of Tract H 'impacts points taken on Density Charts for previously approved phases of the Master Plan. The amended Master Plan should be submitted on March 29, 1985 for the May hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board. Consideration of the preliminary application for the Five Oaks PUD has been placed on the May meeting as well. 2. The Planning Objectives should be revised to include the rationale behind the decision to close Windmill Drive, and a description of how conflicts between the proposed multi -family units and the adjacent single family homes are being avoided or mitigated. Finally, the Planning Objectives should provide a statement of design methods to reduce energy consumption including expected savings. Energy conservation methods should be indicated on the site plan as well. 3. The traffic impact study needs to be expanded to include the following information: a. Traffic impact on Richmond Dr., Cunningham Dr., Shields Street and Horsetooth Road by extending Windmill Drive from Gunnison to Richmond Drive. OFFICE OF COMMUNITY 300 LaPorte Ave. • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins. Colorado 80522 • (303)221-6750 DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING DIVISION Five Oaks Letter 3/13/85 - Page 2 b. Year 2005 impact without the extension of Richmond Drive to Shields Street. 4. The 150 foot information on the site plan needs to be expanded to include description of uses and location of future buildings in the Sundisk Village PUD and Wagonwheel multiple family area. 5. The maximum building height will be measured at the average finished grade twenty feet from the exterior of the structure. Please note this on site plan. 6. Preliminary building elevations will be required. Elevations should indicate exterior colors and materials. 7. The applicants should provide a cross section view of the multiple family area and the adjacent single family homes. The cross section should be accurate in terms of the height and grade of the existing homes and the height and grade of the future multiple family residences. 8. How will parking be allotted since some of the required parking spaces are remotely located from the units they are intended to serve. How will parking on the 28 foot wide drives be handled? Please provide evidence to justify the parking distribution and capacity. Typical dimensions of parking spaces should be indicated on the site plan. 9. Typical dimensions of the building envelopes should be indicated on the site plan. Also, the distance between the buildings and the exterior property lines should be indicated. One and two story elements of the buildings should be indicated. 10. Owners, attorneys and Planning and Zoning Board Secretary certification blocks should be included on the site plan. Please revise. 11. A written report should be submitted which discusses the proposed detention area. Items which should be addressed include future plans and timing of installation of outlet and downstream facilities; rate at which water will be released from detention area in short term; impact on area as "active open space" as a result of water standing in the area; impact on adjacent single family homes if 100 year flood is exceeded or if succeeding storms fill the detention area faster than water could "percolate" into the ground. 12. Ten foot easements will be required along all streets. Please show all existing and proposed utility easements on the site plan. Will there be any existing easements or ROW which will require vacation. If so, separate City Council action on these items will be required. 13. The Community Development, Public Works, Police and Fire Departments feel very strongly that Windmill Drive should be extended to Richmond Drive. The extension of Windmill Drive has been planned for many years, and most recently re -affirmed by the Planning and Zoning Board Five Oaks Letter 3/13/85 - Page 3 as part of their approval of the Master Plan for Cunningham Corners. The staff would urge the applicants to re-evaluate the plan in terms of providing for the extension of Windmill Drive from Gunnison Drive to Richmond Drive. 14. In the event that the Planning and Zoning Board decides that Windmill Drive extension is not needed, the staff will require the following: a. Windmill Drive will need to be vacated and the adjoining single family property owners will need to accept the ROW. The applicants will be required to provide all the necessary documentation for the vacation. b. The existing pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, etc. in Windmill Drive will need to be removed and replaced with an acceptable ground treatment, the cost of which will be borne by the developers of the Five Oaks Village PUD. C. The cost of any removal or relocation of existing utilities, including shutting off at the main, will be borne by the developers of the Five Oaks Village PUD. New utility easements will need to be dedicated for remaining utilities. d. A sidewalk will need to be provided between Gunnison Drive and Richmond Drive. The developers of Five Oaks PUD will be required to install this sidewalk and dedicate the required access easements. 15. The sidewalks along Shields Street are not as planned in the SID. Please contact Chuck Mayhugh for sidewalk plans along Shields Street. Widths of interior sidewalks should be noted. 16. The maximum width of residential curb cuts is 25 feet. The plan as submitted shows 28 feet. Please revise. 17. The setback from the flowline of the first parking space to the flowline of an adjacent public street needs to be at least forty feet. Please revise site plan. 18. Interior radii of parking drives needs to be indicated. A minimum of 20 foot inside and forty foot outside radii is needed for turning movements of fire apparatus. Addresses will need to be posted at entry points to the project with a map of layout. Please indicate on site plan. There is some question whether the fireflows from hydrants are adequate for fire protection purposes. Please provide written evidence as to expected fire flows. Also, please show all existing and proposed fire hydrants in the area. A note should be added to the site plan that all first stories of all buildings will be within 150 feet of an approved fire accessway or the buildings will be sprinkled. 19. Curbing and pavement treatment of interior drives should be indicated. Medians in Shields Street should be shown on the site plan as well. Five Oaks Letter 3/13/85 - Page 4 20. The staff does not feel that the site plan has mitigated the impacts upon privacy of the existing homes nor the differences in scale between the proposed multiple family residences and the single family homes. The proposed setback areas and landscaping thereof appears to be insufficient. The staff would recommend that the applicants re-evaluate the plan in terms of the following: a. Increasing the setback of the buildings to a minimum of 80 feet. b. Increasing the amount of vegetation in the buffer area including a greater quantity of trees and evergreens; use of larger than standard size trees (3" - 4" caliper) and evergreen trees (8 - 10 feet height); berming, and; installation of six foot wood privacy fences where they are missing. Landscaping will not be permitted in the 30 foot drainage easement if it will interrupt the flow of water. The applicants should consider the shading effects of larger shade trees and evergreens on existing and proposed solar energy systems in the single family area. c. Reducing the height of the buildings adjacent to the single family homes . d. Providing large berms and heavy landscape screening between the parking area and Worthington Farm (between unit 15 and 18). 21. The applicants should provide a written response to each of the issues identified at the neighborhood meeting. 22. Location and treatment of exterior parking, building and sidewalk lighting should be indicated on the site plan. Applicants should demonstrate in graphic and written form on the site plan that precautions will be taken to prevent unwanted lighting from spilling over onto adjacent single family lots. 23. Exact treatment of pond areas will need to be provided as part of the final plans for this project. 24. Ponds cannot be considered as "active open space". The site statistics should include the "active open space" information. Written evidence should be submitted which indicates the appropriateness of the detention/retention areas being considered as active open space in terms of slope, ground treatment, drainage and maintenance. 25. The staff feels that sidewalks should be provided on both sides of all interior private driveways. Sidewalk connections between the private pedestrian circulation system and the public sidewalks should be provided. Special design treatment of important pedestrian crossings at parking areas should be considered. 26. All parking islands should include low lying shrubs in addition to evergreens and trees. A typical foundation planting plan should be provided for each of the building types. A formal street tree planting should be provided along all public streets. Evergreens should he Five Oaks Letter 3/13/85 - Page 5 intermixed with the trees along the public streets. The applicants should consider the use of berms along all public streets, especially Shields Street, for buffering purposes. Chuck Mayhugh is developing sidewalk and landscaping plans for Shields Street. Please coordinate the project's landscape plans with the Shields Street plans. 27. Trash and mail areas should be designated on the site plan. Please revise. 28. The applicant should give careful consideration to the detention area in terms of making it an "interesting" area that people might want to use. For instance, landscaping and some interesting earth forms might make it more interesting for children and adults. Tim Buchanan, City Forester, should be contacted for possible treatment of this area. 29. The applicant should provide written justification for the points taken on the Density chart. I would recommend we meet as soon as possible to discuss the above comments. Revisions to the plans should be submitted no later than Monday, April 1, 1985. On Friday, May 10th , 8 1/2" x 11" PMT reductions of all plans and colored renderings of the site and building elevations should be delivered to this office. On Monday, May 13th, ten (10) full size copies of all plans should be submitted. It is extremely important that the above deadlines be followed if the item is to be considered at the May meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board. If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Joe Frank Senior City Planner -CC: Sam Mutch, Planning Director Bonnie Tripoli, Development Coordinator Metcalf Ltd., P.O.
