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 was initially proposing 30 single-family lots to be platted and constructed
in three (3) phases accessed by a public street (with a sidewalk on one side of the
street) and a secondary access via a private street.
Now the plats depict 30 single family lots and five additional lots labeled lots 31-35. The
narrative does not provide any information on this revision.
As mentioned above, there is a secondary access shown on the documents listed as a
private street. This private street is proposed to provide a loop and secondary access to
the parcel, connecting Old Victory Road across for Elk Ranch Road (Elk Creek at Grand
Park subdivision).
The private road as depicted on all three final plats shall be improved as a twenty-four
foot (24') wide all-weather surface (CDOT Class 6 road base) access road constructed
to the lines, grades and vehicle weight loading requirements of the Town of Fraser
Design and Construction Standards for a Local Street. This roadway improvement shall
be included in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Filing No. 2. At the
completion of Filing No. 3, the all-weather surface access road shall be paved in
accordance with Town of Fraser Standards and said improvements shall be included in
the SIA for Filing No. 3.
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.
