Motion carried: 7-0. The application, proof of publication, were entered into the record, an additional letter was received and read into the record. This property is zoned Planned Development District— PD and we are processing a Final Planned Development Plan/Final Plan (FPDP) and a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat. Page 3of4 The Final Plan application is being processed in accordance with Section 16-5-410 of the Fraser Municipal Code. The Grand Park development is also subject to the requirements contained in the 2003 Rendezvous Annexation Agreement and Planned Development District Plan (PDD), as amended by the 2005 Grand Park PDD Plan amendment. This proposal relates to a portion of Planning Area (PA) 5W, as shown on the Grand Park PDD Plan, Reception # 2005-012709. The PDD land use and development notes indicate that "5W comprises 17.1 acres between the Union Pacific Railroad and Elk Creek Meadow. Site planning considerations for this residential neighborhood will include its relationship to the Elk Creek Meadow, buffering the railroad and the commercial planned in 4W." The entitlements in the PDD for PA 5W allow for 70 detached and 30 attached residential units with an average density of 4.5 units per acre. The approved development standards for detached units requires 15% open space and a 35' maximum building height. Required setbacks in PA 5W are 10' in the front yard, 6' in the side yard and 10' in the rear yard. This subdivision application is being processed as a Major Subdivision in accordance with Section 17-5-10 of the Fraser Municipal Code. The purpose of a major subdivision plat is to divide one (1) or more lots or parcels of land into a total of five (5) or more lots or five (5) or more dwelling units. The applicant is proposing 71 single-family lots to be platted and constructed in five (5) phases accessed by public roads with a sidewalk on one side of the road. The Fraser Municipal Code Sec. 17-5-110 allows for a phased development review process. The SIA is required prior to the recordation of each final plat. The SIA required improvements and collateral associated with those improvements shall be subject to Town Engineer and Town Attorney approval prior to execution, and the schedule for completion of said improvements shall be within one (1) year of execution of the SIA. Any final plat not executed and recorded within five (5) years of approval of the final plat shall expire unless an extension is approved by the Board of Trustees. The Town may condition a phasing plan on the submission of an agreement to dedicate easements or rights-of-way. Staff has approved two variances. One relating to sanitary sewer service lines connecting directly into a manhole and one relating to sidewalk width. Staff is not recommending approval of the other two variance requests detailed below. These two variance requests will be forwarded to Town Board for review and consideration. The Standards state that the maximum length of a street ending in a turnaround is 500'. The Standards also state that the maximum length of a dead-end waterline is 500'. The applicant has provided one access into the proposed subdivision with an emergency vehicle access to CR 72. The applicant suggests that the Annexation Agreement allows for a divided roadway to meet the dual access requirements specified in the Fraser Municipal Code. Staff doesn't agree with this interpretation and recommends that the Page 4 of 4 documents be revised to make the emergency vehicle access a local street in accordance with Town Standards. The Roadway Master Plan on the Grand Park PDD (sheet 11 of 11) states that "provision will be made for permanent public roadway and trail access between CR 72 and Old Victory Road." This is another argument in favor of making the emergency vehicle access a local street in accordance with Town Standards. See exact wording in Planning Commission Resolution 2015-05-02 and applicant's response.
