Box 271217 Fort Collins, Colorado 80527 March 18, 1995 Mr. Mitch Haas, City Planner City of Fort Collins Community Planning and Environmental Services P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO. 80522-0580 RE: Written Documentation for the Greens at Collindale Planned Unit Development (PUD). Dear Mitch; This letter fulfills the requirement of the "Land Development Guidance System" (LDGS) for written documents supporting ourtpplication for Planned Unit Development (PUD) review of the Greens at Collindale PUD submitted herewith. The form of the letter will follow somewhat the form of the requirements as described in the LDGS Manual. The application form , filing fee of $2,165.00, Legal Description, and list of property owners with in 500 feet of the project are attached. PLANNING OBJECTIVES: Objectives: The Project is configured as a single lot family subdivision composed of thirty four "zero" lot line homes on 6.42 acres. Homes have common walls on the "zero" lot line joined at garages and/or Master Bedroom Suites to maximize privacy between units. The market being targeted for the project is empty nesters. Homes will be mostly single level with some two-story units mixed in as market pressure dictates. All Units will have basements and attached two car garages. Master suites are provided on the ground floor. Building on the lots will be restricted to within building limit lines to be more stringently defined in the final plan stage of the project. Building will not be allowed of any kind outside of the building limit lines. Court yard entries will be provided to enhance privacy and feelings of security to the main entries of the home. Private patios and/or decks will be provided within the building limits. Interior spaces will have ten foot ceilings. Exterior roof lines will be 'low slope" (4/12 maximum) to enhance scale of the project to its human occupants. Exterior materials will be stucco and/or masonry. Other elements such as eaves, soffits, and facia systems will be of maintenance free materials. Window units will be of double paine glass. Ceilings will have R26 insulation and walls will be R19 plus. 225-2704 ARCHITECTURAL HORIZONS 2405 Rollingwood Drive, Ft. Collins, CO. 80525 Mitch Hass March 18, 1996 Page Two Living units have been carefully designed to minimize direct looks into adjacent units. This is accomplished by paying attention to widow orientation and the careful placement of exterior landscape elements. Landscaping is also used to provide visual separation between units and enhance privacy and scale of the project. Earth berms are provided along LeMay Avenue to enhance privacy and reduce noise. A Masonry and Rod -Iron Fence are also provided along LeMay to enhance privacy of the subdivision. Interior streets will be minimum twenty feet wide with additional eight foot wide parallel parking pockets to provide additional controlled parking in the subdivision. Additionally, some eighteen feet deep perpindicular parking pockets have been provided to further enhance parking needs within the project. In response to neighborhood comments units at the south property limits have been moved back to the north considerably to reduce impact to the existing homes located there. Additionally, landscaping has been intensified along the southern limits of the project. Drainage issue along the south property line of the project will be carefully addressed in the final engineering documents developed for the project at a latter submittal stage. Garages have been designed in two of the units to be significantly set back from the internal private street or to have side entries. This will reduce the impact of garage doors on the streetscape of the project considerably which was the goal. Additionally entry approaches to garage areas are intensely landscaped to further reduce garage door and driveway impact to the development. Street lighting will be designed to a pedestrian scale with lamps of lower profile and intensity and closer spacing being located along the streetscape. This will also considerably mitigate glares within and without the property by these systems. Storm water control for the project is accomplished in a system of over lot detention areas that will be directed for release at the southeast corner of the site into the existing stormwater system located there. Since views to the mountains are restricted by Warren Lake Dam and the housing that is proposed to be located there, most living spaces of the proposed units have been oriented to interior views and the Collindale Golf Course located adjacent east and north to the project. This orientation also mitigates the impacts of Lemay Avenue on the site. The few homes that do back onto Lemay have increased set -backs and landscaping to reduce the impact of Lemay. City Land Use Policies Addressed: This is an infill project. The density of the project exceeds 5 units per acre. The project is located on a bus route and is near major shopping and business centers. It is surrounded by active recreation centers in Warren Park and Collindale Golf Course. It is near schooling. It is located on a Bike access route. The project is compatible with existing residential development within proximity to and adjacent to the project. The project complies with all engineering requirements and goals of the city and will use energy efficient materials and systems in its construction. Mitch Haas March 18, 1996 Page Three Ownership of Common Spaces: Although a significant portion of open space in the subdivision will be privately owned, all landscaped areas and the exterior of the homes will be maintained by the Property Owner's Association (POA). The POA will also own and maintain the streets. Remaining Common Open Space will be owned and maintained by the POA. Development Schedule: It is anticipated the development and construction of the project will begin in the fall of 1996. Depending on market conditions it is anticipated that the subdivision will be built out within a two year time frame. It is hoped that this letter and the other accompanying submittals and data will bring favorable consideration to this project. Please lel: me know if I can answer any further questions or provide any additional information. Cordially, }} y Robert Sutter Principal RAS/rs Enc: CC: LandSource L.L.C. Transpo..ation Services Engineering Department City of Fort Collins MEMORANDUM Date: February 10, 1997 To: John Duval, Assistant City Attorney From: Kerrie Ashbeck, Civil Engineer II W RE: QUIT CLAIM DEED FOR GENE LITTLE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE_ OF LEMAY AVENUE ADJACENT TO COLLINDALE GOLF COURSE Attached is a copy of Council Ordinance No. 143, 1996 from November 19, 1996 and the original of the associated quit claim deed. The Ordinance authorized the execution of a quit claim deed by and between the City and Mr. Gene Little. Mr. Little owns a property adjacent to the Collindale Golf Course which has a right-of-way on it that, according to the records, was never dedicated to the public nor to the City. Therefore, Mr. Little requested, and the Council authorized, the execution of a quit claim deed to quit claim any interest the City may have in the r.o.w. As per our recent (phone conversation, I am forwarding the attached quit claim deed to your office for review, obtaining the necessary signatures, and whatever process there is for recording the deed. In my opinion, it would be best to record the deed prior to Mr. Little's plat for his project being recorded so that, sequentially, he is "replatting" the old r.o.w. and it is in his ownership to do so. The plat for his project will not be recorded until sometime next month since we are still completing plan review and the development agreement process. If you have any questions or if our office can be of assistance in getting the document recorded, please call me at x7656. 281 Not College Avenue • PC).

As requested, we have reviewed one of our recommended pavement section thicknesses for the referenced project, specifically, three inches of asphalt overlying ten inches of aggregate base course for private streets. In our opinion, four inches of asphalt overlying six inches of aggregate base course is also an adequate pavement section for the private streets.

Due to the ambiguity created when making these changes to the existing signed mylars and bubbling it in, we have decided to submit new sheets showing the revised design and the changes requested by Stormwater and Water/Wastewater. The following revisions were the major points of change: 1. The driveway Vocations were moved causing sanitary sewer and water services to be moved to keep them out of the pavement. 2. Spot elevations on the grading sheets were adjusted to reflect the new driveway locations. 3. Sprinklered units are shown on the utility sheet. 4. Existing tie in locations for the water line were identified and the design adjusted for this. 5. The driveway locations were only moved and therefore did not increase the impervious area on the site. We do not feel that any revisions to the drainage calculations are required. Please include a copy of this letter with the revised plans and redlines to the various departments reviewing this re -submittal. I hope you find these changes minor and able to sign off on them again as soon as possible. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, TST. INC.
