MEADOW VIEW PLACE ADDITION. Applicant: Thomas E. Adams.
Alison Chilcott reviewed the staff report. This is a preliminary condominium map application
to condominiumize three single-family units and one duplex, for a total of five unrtsonone
lot. Condominiumizing the property will transfer ownership of the oommon elemenls, as
described in the Declaration and shown on the condominium map, to the Fawn Lane
condominium Owners Association, Inc., a Colorado nonprofit Unn'tdSRa,;?
currently long-term rentals and will continue so after conversion. The prope^ is zoned RM.
The loHs non-conforming as to the minimum lot size and the existing development is non-
conforming as to density. Additional units cannot be developed Units Athl?^9||lD^^®,l0bne
conforming structures that encroach into the applicable side yard setback. A note shouldbe
placed on the Final Plat identifying these as non-conforming structures and ind'cating t^^^^
approval of the Final Plat does not change those structures non’f ®
orooertv line abuts the edge of pavement on Ponderosa Drive. Addit^^onal right of w y
should be dedicated along the east property line to provide five feet of right-of-way between
the oroperty line and the edge of pavement. The right-of-way dedication should be sho
on the Final Plat and the dedication statement should be amended accord'ng'y. Smce
oedestrian traffic is common along Stanley Avenue, the final Plat should dedicate a ten-foot
easement for a future sidewalk or hike/bike trail along the northern property l'ne bprdenng
the Stanley Avenue right-of-way. The northern boundary of the Unit E Um'ted Common
Element should be adjusted to border the ten foot easement on the prehminary p'aL Staff
has agreed to waive the requirement for paving of parking spaces. One of the two
driveways should be removed and a drainage plan that addresses the erosion problem

submitted detailing these improvements. The applicantshouldinstallandupgrade^ewe^

a water flow of less than required for adequate domestic water pressure. The old 3/4-inch
galvanized water service line should be replaced with a new one-inch copper line. Based on
the ISO calculations, the existing hydrant provides the required level of fire safety protection.
Amy Plummer of Van Horn Engineering was present representing the applicant. The
applicant is willing to grant the 10-foot pedestrian easement if the Town will pay for the
relocation of the existing fence when and if it needs to be moved. The applicant appreciated
staff waiving the paving requirement. An erosion control plan has been discussed with Bill
Linnane and will be worked out to Public Work’s satisfaction. They would like the Planning
Commission to consider keeping the two driveways open as it exists and has not been a
problem. Since it is not definite what size water lines are currently being used, they would
prefer the condition to require that it be brought up to Town standards rather than specifying
a total replacement.
Director Joseph advised that it is Town policy to pay for the fence removal if necessary at
the time a sidewalk would be constructed. The rationale for the Code requirement of one
curb cut per property has to do with such things as auto/pedestrian conflicts and road
maintenance considerations for Public Works. The combined width of the two driveways is
approximately 40 feet and 24 is standard.
Commissioner McKinney suggested the northern access might be a problem since it
intersects with Ponderosa Drive and Stanley Avenue.
Tom Adams, applicant, advised there was better visibility at the northern access even with
the road intersection.
Director Linnane recommended using the northern access also. The 'i"®
needs to be repiaoed as it was tested at 2 gaiions per minute which is not
engineer and deveioper can come up with another method of increasing water pressure,
Public Works would approve plans to upgrade the service.
Dish^ was nm represented the'condition wouid be revised to aiiow for their subsequent
approval of a revised plan.
Public Comment:
None.
