HomeMy WebLinkAbout0.8.15 Written Statement4.08.05 (7) WRITTEN STATEMENT (7) A written statement containing the following information: (a) An explanation of the objectives to be achieved by the PUD; PUD OBJECTIVES The Reserve at Elk Meadows PUD is a result of applying objectives established by an analysis of the community and planning issues associated with the property, immediately surrounding physical conditions, zoning patterns existing in the Four Mile Creek corridor and the Garfield County Comprehensive Master Plan for Study Area I. Input collected at informal public meetings and interviews with adjacent property owners and community members were also used in the analysis. Following is a list of the objectives that have guided the PUD design: • Preserve the unique natural areas of the PUD site, especially the riparian areas associated with Four Mile Creek. • Maintain a sense of space along Four Mile Road. • Preserve the two large Bershenyi barns to provide a permanent link to the cultural heritage of the property. • The Four Mile Creek community trail should be continued through the PUD to the south boundary of the property and link this trail to the access trail to the upper Bershenyi parcel that will be preserved for the public benefit. • Improve traffic flow and safety on Four Mile Road through the Bershenyi Barnyard area. • Minimize impacts on uniquely sensitive view sheds associated with the property. • Minimize the impacts of development by locating home sites in areas appropriate for development, avoiding sensitive geologic zones, native vegetation and sensitive wildlife habitat. • Create home sites with direct connection to open space, wherever possible, and provide on site recreational opportunities for the future residents of the community. • Group home sites in compact neighborhoods to maximize large blocks of open space, achieve efficient infrastructure systems, create cohesive landscape patterns and streetscapes and to minimize impacts on the environmental qualities of the site. 49 • Provide a community which offers efficient and safe internal access, minimizes demands on county services, is sensitive to off site traffic impacts and provides centralized sewer and water services to its residents including a raw water irrigation system. • Create a rural residential community that is compatible with other residential land use patterns in the Four Mile Creek corridor. • The qualities and character of the proposed community should provide residential dwellings and neighborhoods compatible with existing and approved housing in the Four Mile Creek Corridor. • Create site, architectural and landscape design guidelines to be administered and enforced by the home owners association. (b) A development schedule indicating the approximate dates when construction of the various stages of the PUD can be expected to begin and be completed; Initiation Phase: Within one year of approval of the PUP amendnaent, a preliminary plan application for subdivision of the entire PUD shall be submitted to the County. The phasing schedule as defined below is the currently anticipated sequence of development of the Elk Meadows PUD. However, market conditions and construction implications may cause the Applicant to modify the sequence of the development of these phases. The configuration of the below described phases allows for utilities and roads in a manner such that if subsequent phases are not developed for some time, the completed areas of the development will function effectively. Phase A Phase B Phase C Access road and services to Lots 1 through 25 in the East Meadow neighborhood and east side entry landscaping. Construction of the first phase of the sanitary sewer system connecting to the Four Mile interceptor sewer line, first phase of the domestic water system, and first phase of the raw water irrigation system. Construction of the public pedestrian trail from the north PUD boundary to the south PUD boundary and the gravel pedestrian trail extending east along Four Mile Creek looping around lots 22 & 23, following the main access road and tying back into the "Four Mile Valley Public Trail". If Phase A is built without Phase B, a temporary looped access road will need to be provided as shown on the "Construction Phasing Plan." Schedule: Completion of infrastructure within 24 months of approval of the first final plat. Access road and services to Lots 26 through 72 in the East Meadow Neighborhood, the East Meadow open space park and trails, preservation of the Bershenyi barns, landscaping of the "barnyard" and development of the Four Mile Creek Park and related trails.
