the third phase of Cunningham Corner
and Cunningham Drive. The 9.65 acre
contains 78 units for a gross den -
The Site Plan of Five Oaks Village consists of five residential clusters
containing 14 to 16 units each. Vehicular access is generally provided
from internal private drives allowing for a major landscape buffers between
building clusters and between townhomes and the single family neighborhood
to the north. Unique to Five Oaks Village is the introduction of a series
of small wet and dry ponds and footpath system which effectively links
townhome clusters and larger landscape areas to a picnic and recreation
amenity within Tract H retention area.
The existing retention area will be reshaped with the construction of this
project to incorporate more open area within Five Oaks Village and thereby
form a uniforms site plan. The drainage swale serving the retention area
is proposed tc meander in a more natural configuration to allow an even
distribution of landscaping along the existing neighborhood property line.
The townhomes consist of three unit types: two bedroom flat, two bedroom
two story unit, and three bedroom two story unit. Each townhome will con-
tain a one or two car attached garage and an enclosed patio. The architec-
tural treatment will be similar to the first two phases of Cunningham
Corner which used hardboard siding, high pitched roofs, and brick feature
walls.
The proposal is in compliance with the Fort Collins adopted policies on
growth management. Specific policies includinge Land use, Site Planning,
and Urban Design Criteria shall be developed to promote pleasant, func-
tional and understandable interrelationships through and between land uses.
Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities.
Higher density residential uses should locate:
Within close proximity to Community or Neighborhood park facilities
Where water and sewer facilities can be adequately provided
Within easy access to major employment centers
With access to public transportation
In areas with provisions for alternative modes of transportation.
Construction of the first building cluster is scheduled to begin Fall of
1985.

Re: Five Oaks Village, Phase 2
Dear Bonnie,
This letter is in response to your request for additional information
justifying the separation of the two major drive cuts in Five Oaks Village,
Phase 2.
These drive cuts are located off Richmond Drive, a two lane street which
bisects Cunningham Corner P.U.D.. The curb cuts, as indicated on the site
plan, are separated by approximately 160 feet and service 46 townhomes. A
traffic impact study of the entire Cunningham Corner Master Plan was pre-
pared by Matt Delich in March of 1985 which examined peak hour traffic
counts for the year 2005. The study estimated that during a morning peak
hour, 36 cars will travel west and 51 cars will travel east between the two
cuts for a total of 87 cars or 12 cars per minute. Of the 87 cars, six
will be turning left from the westernmost drive cut and only 4 will turn
right from the easternmost drive cut.
Given the low volume of traffic projected to be generated from each cut and
Richmond Drive in general, we have concluded that the amount of separation
will neither substantially impact turning movements in or out of the drive
cut or hinder the level of service along Richmond Drive.
Please contact me if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
Tom Olund
