February 15, 1977 Minutes - page 2 CONTINENTAL VIEW ESTATES CONTINUED The area will be developed to conform with the subdivision regulations of Boulder County. The size of the development is approximately 37! acres, 57 planned sites, approximately 19,000 sq. feet each. Mr. Cassidy stated that the project will have city water and sewer services. He stated that there is one problem with the streets; which is the property which is owned by B.S.C.S. corporation; it is far enough out east to include the right-of-way as it has been platted, and comes to Continental View Estates side at the north end of Asure Way. He stated that approximately 30 feet more is needed to complete the right-of-way, so what has been done is that the area has been de- dicated for future development. Planner Drumm stated that the Planning Com- mission mentioned several items. 1. The County development standard is that water and sewer lines go on private property, where under the City regulation the lines are put in the right-of-way. There are also some questions on the extension, because the City does not allow any dedications or construction of half streets. This would have to be resolved. Mr. Drumm pointed out open space and city owned property on the map. On drainage, Mr. Drumm stated that Lord & Assoc., have not completed their report; however, the city is concerned about the drainage and also there is awkward lotting that may be used for detention ponds that would fit into the drainage plans. Mr. Drumm stated that the street standards shown on the plan is rural type standards that have paved way, rock shoulder and ditches running along side. Mr. Drumm stated that these standards do not correspond with the present city street standards; however, Planning Commission has reviewed some alter- natives on this. He stated that since the area will be developed in the County the streets will be under county regulations. Mr. Drumm stated that there has been dis- cussion with the County regarding Open Space. He stated that the City would like to take the land under dedication and using the cash in lieu of, for the remaining percentage to build a path through that area. Mr. Cassidy stated that the program is still under review with the County. There was no further discussion.
