MAY 15, 2012
4. Docket No. 12030017 PP: The Overlook at Legacy(Legacy PUD).
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 31 lots on 25.23 acres. The site is located at the southeast corner of
Community Dr.and future Cherry Creek Blvd. It is zoned PUD/Planned Unit Development. Filed by Tim Walter
of Platinum Properties, LLC.
The Overlook at Legacy residential neighborhood will be located within the Neighborhood Use Block and a portion of
the Suburban Residential Use Block of the Legacy PUD—Planned Unit Development. No variances or waivers are
needed from the Legacy PUD ordinance, as it meets all development standards of the PUD ordinance. Also,the
landscape plan is approved. Architectural requirements of the PUD ordinance will be met, as well.
Please view the petitioner's info packet for more detail. (The Secondary/Final Plat and the final construction plans
will be reviewed and approved administratively.)
Outstanding Planning/Zoning Dept. review comments for the primary plat:
1. Please provide a draft copy of any proposed neighborhood Covenants&Restrictions.
2. Engineering Dept. Comments: It is the Engineering Department's understanding that the plans for this project are
changing.
• Portions of this site rely on infrastructure that has not been approved or constructed, including Community
Drive, Cherry Creek Boulevard, stormwater detention and treatment systems, floodplain mitigation, and the
associated stormwater conveyance system.
• City standards do not allow residential lots to be served by a private drive. (Only with the approval of the
Commission, streets within the Legacy District may be private,per the PUD ordinance.)
• The Department understands that this road will be designed as a Frontage Place and located within right-of-
way. Frontage places shall not be in excess of 600 feet in length between thoroughfare access points.
Frontage places shall terminate at streets.Per the Legacy PUD Ordinance, the minimum separation between
the centerline of successive public right-of-ways within the Legacy District shall be 150'provided that this
spacing does not create a public safety issue(limited sight distance, conflicting left turn access, excessive
traffic stacking for turns onto one public street and blocking another one, etc.). Alleys,private streets,
frontage places, one-way pairs, and curb cuts are exempt.
(Please note that the Engineering Dept. will have the final approval authority of the construction plans, when the
petitioner files the secondary/final plat application.)
Recommendation:
The Dept. of Community Services (DOCS)recommends that the Plan Commission suspends its rules of procedure and
votes to approve this primary plat.
(The Secondary/Final Plat and the final construction plans will be reviewed and approved administratively by the City.)
