I am also an undergraduate student of Elementary Education at the University of Northern Colorado. My position as a housekeeper with the aforementioned property management company has made it possible for me to work flexible hours with reasonable pay while continuing to attend UNC. Additionally, this local company has provided the means for my husband and I to buy our first home last December. Pursuit of higher education and home ownership would not have been possible without my employment at this company. The benefits of working for this local business have surpassed my expectations personally and professionally. I am proud to work for a company that takes pride in investing in local businesses while also prioritizing the wellbeing and success of its employees. I urge you to consider all aspects of the benefits STR provide to the residents of Fort Collins and the community. Thank you for your time and careful deliberation.

We appreciate your input on the importance of adequate parking, safe bicycle storage, and the need for livable housing. Regarding the car-centric businesses, we definitely agree. The Midtown Plan provides specific guidance that is at odds with what they are proposing as part of the conceptual review application. Inclusionary housing was a big Council discussion that informed how we tuned the affordable housing elements of the Land Use Code update. We understand the importance of providing affordable housing options for all members of our community and will continue to work towards that goal. Thank you for bringing up the proximity to CSU and local amenities. We will keep students in mind when building the development and see CSU as a key community partner in creating more housing choice and opportunity for their students and employees. Have a great week! Best, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Increased housing density along transit lines and major roads makes sense. Transit availability to nearby City jobs and businesses takes cars off the road. Few of us can do SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS Packet Pg. 3 without cars altogether for longer range trips so adequate parking is essential. Adequate, safe bicycle storage is important. Great that there's a (future) grocery store, whole foods and restaurants close by for residents. These businesses will benefit too. Can the developer make the site more livable for residents by not locating car centric businesses (bank with drive through and gas station) right next to the apartments? There's the train to the west and busy College Ave to the east. In addition to a busy street and train, the additional cars coming and going for these businesses adds noise and fumes (especially gas station). Why not include businesses that the building residents will use and walk to instead of the potential for hundreds that don't live in the building driving through the property daily. Hopefully the City and developer will build housing and the surrounding area that takes residents' need for healthy and livable housing into account. It's long past the time or need to "study" inclusionary housing - inclusionary housing should be included in this development and every new development going forward. This development is just down the road from the CSU Vet School. I imagine CSU students would be interested in this development being so close to CSU and local amenities. Keep students in mind when building the development. What will CSU contribute for more housing for the ever increasing numbers admitted to the school?

I have signed up for Cityworks 101 so that we can be better and more timely informed on such meetings. But during the recorded meeting and the discussion about the lot development, it seemed that the horse was being put before the cart in regards to the traffic control on Drake between Meadow Lark and College. [It is, as I am sure you have been told and experienced, a mess.] Since most things take much longer than anticipated and they do not always go as designed, wouldn't it be better to approve design and development after the new King Sooper's has opened? I am sure that area will be a mess for the first couple of weeks. We are planning on avoiding it. Also during the meeting, it was stated that the designers feel that most individuals would not own a car because they are so close to so many amenities. I believe that most families would be down to one car per family unit, but not 100% without. So I believe they are operating under a false pretense, which will lead to problems that will be difficult to correct and a pain for everyone else.
