Dear Lloyd:

580. FORT COLLINS. COLORAO
September 26, 1980
EXT. 65
The staff has reviewed the preliminary plans of the proposed condominium and
commercial project in Four Seasons_P.U0.D. and would offer the following comments:
1. Building envelopes not clearly indicated.
2. Dimensions of building envelopes should be shown.
3. Tennis courts must be in an envelope.
4. Plan should indicate distance from building envelopes to property
lines for building permit issuance purposes.
5. Handicapped parking should be provided in the commercial areas.
6. An additional loading space should be provided for the 13,800 square
foot retail building.
7. If fences are to be provided, they should be indicated on site plan..
8. Signs as shown do not comply with sign code.
9. Final utility drawings should include 3" electrical conduit under road
at intersection of Shields and Horsetooth for future traffic signal.
10. Michie Drive to be shown with 68' right-of-way width.
11. If this is to be the "Fourth Phase" of the overall master plan of Four
Seasons, the site plan should indicate this.
12. Several buildings appear to be outside of the 150' fire access requirement.
13. The site data is unclear. Staff would recommend the following format.
A. Data for entire development
-- residential
-- commercial
Lloyd McLaughlin 2 September 26, 1980
B. Data for each phase
Also, some data appears missing, for example, bedroom mix for
townhomes.
14. Active open space appears to be inadequate in terms of meeting the
minimum area requirements of the P.U.D. regulations. However, staff believes
that the calculations do not consider all the active open spaces that may be
permitted.
15. Each phase must stand on its own as far as the required open space areas.
16. Applicant should provide additional detail on pavement treatment at
pedestrian crossings.
17. Landscape plan should indicate shade trees along collector and arterial
street sidewalks.
18. Transfort stop detail,as far as physical elements and landscaping, must
be provided at final review.
19. The staff is very concerned about the design decision to separate the
convenience shopping area from the recreational building. It has been the
City's policy that commercial uses in neighborhoods be planned as compact
commercial centers. From a private viewpoint, consolidating the two centers
would offer some significant advantages in terms of design and economies of
scale (for instance, sharing of parking), as well as foster a symbiotic
relationship among the retail uses. Therefore, the staff would recommend that
the applicant re-evaluate the plan in terms of consolidating the two commercial
areas.
20. The staff has carefully reviewed the request to allow the neighborhood
center to be located at the intersection of two arterials and feels that it
may be appropriate given the design and traffic solutions presented. The
staff feels, however, that the applicant could do a better job of orienting
the center to foster a stronger pedestrian link to the single family areas
in the rest of Four Seasons. The staff would recommend that the applicant
re-evaluate the plan in terms of strengthening this pedestrian orientation.
21. Planning objectives indicate that the townhomes will be conveyed to
resident homeowners. Is this by condominium ownership or fee simple? If fee
simple, the plan would not meet City codes.
22. Architectural elevations must be submitted at time of final P.U.D.
review for townhomes, recreational facilities and the convenience center.
23. Applicant should provide evidence as to adequacy of number of parking
spaces.

24. All site data should be on site plan.
25. Fire hydrant locations must be coordinated with Engineering and Fire
Department.
Before the staff can proceed with processing of the application for development
approval, a revised site plan reflecting the above comments will be required.
For those items that cannot be shown on the site plan, a letter from the
applicant resolving these issues should be submitted. The above materials
should be delivered to this office no later than October 8, 1980. I would
urge you to contact me before that deadline to discuss these comments or
review your changes before you submit a formal revised site plan. Also, on
October 20, a rendered set of the site plan and architectural drawings, and
an 8" x 11" PMT positive or good reduction of all site plans and maps must be
submitted. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
