(2) Special review.
(a) Special review proceedings shall begin with the
filing of an application for a group home use,
submitted to the Planning Office. The Planning
and Zoning Board shall conduct a public hearing
and approve, disapprove or approve with con-
ditions the group home
use. The decision of the
Planning and Zoning Board
may be appealed to
the City Council pursuant to the provisions in
Chapter 2 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins.
(b) In order to prevent the concentration of group
homes and the potential negative impact that
may be caused to a neighborhood by a high
concentration of this type of facility, a group
home in the R-L or R-E Zone
should not generally
be located closer than one-third (1/a)
mile from any
other group home, unless a physical barrier, such
as an arterial street or highway, railroad tracks,
1
waterway, commercial district, topographical
change
or other characteristic, would avoid
.-- _--
concentration of group homes. This provision is
intended to ensure that the limited capacity of a
neighborhood's
existing social structure to ac-
commodate group homes is not exceeded and,

Within this setback.

of vegetation.

structure could not be built and protrude above the

not protrude above a ridgeline would preclude building on the
rest of the property. Stated after careful review of the
Page

P7
existing situation and existing conditions, the best way to
solve the existing situation was to completely eliminate
structures on the ridgeline, completely eliminate on the east
side of the ridgeline through negotiation of a trade of the
rest of this property to the City, and the remaining
conditions the staff has recommended give the most limitation
that could be tolerated and still accommodate the very
exclusive homes that would be built in the area. Stated
essentially his buildings would not be visible.
Stated he did not want to restrict any potential homebuilder
to a roofline that doesn't break the existing rockline
because that drastically precludes his ability to shelf a
house into the side of an existing slope.
Waido: Stated what the City is trying to achieve is a natural
foothills setting backdrop to the City.
Dow: Stated as a matter of Policy, that there will be no
development on the ridgeline. Stated that unless we could put
a condition on these properties that that view of the
ridgeline be protected, the County will not understand our
concern for that.
Moved to recommend to the County approval of the Pineridge
Exemption subject to the following conditions:
1. No portion of any structure should project above the
ridgeline, as visible from Overland Trail. The express
intent of this condition is to prohibit structures from
breaking -the ridgeline and being visible from Fort Collins.
2. A 30' setback from the ridgeline be provided in the form
of a landscape easement. No vegetation is to be removed
within this setback.
3.. Property owners would be responsible for the replacement
of vegetation.

28 March 1983
Planning and Zoning Board
c/o Planning Office
City of Fort Collins
P.O. Box 580
Fort Collins, Colorado 80522
Dear Sirs:
I request that action on Item #20, Park Central PUD, on the agenda
for Monday, March 28th be postponed one month until the end of April.
Since early January I have been waiting for and trying to obtain the
proponent's traffic impacts study on this proposal. On Thursday afternoon
March 24th I took the initiative to call the planning department and
was informed that the study was finally available. I obtained it on
Friday morning. Acting on this item Monday the 28th would allow me
only one and a half working days to evaluate, collect data, and respond
to this study. That is not a fair or adequate amount of time and I
object to it in the strongest possible terms. The paid professionals
of the proponents took almost three months to produce this information.
Even if I were a paid, full-time professional instead of an amateur
having to do this in my spare time I should not be expected to accept
such a short response time.
The first one month delay was granted to accomodate the proponents,
the second one month delay was granted to accomodate the planning department,
and I see no reason why one should not be granted to accomodate me
for the reasons outlined above.
Sincerely,
Thomas P. McKenna

need a secondary ingress/egress to the property.

would be good to have the access being used as a major
ingress/egress off of College Avenue.

ment to put a median island on College Avenue at this time,

23. #44-821,
Albertson -Clark
Redwood Village PUD Phase III - Final
Request for final approval of Phase III of a 21.4-ac PUD
consisting of 92 single-family units, located at the
southeast corner of Conifer Drive and Redwood Drive, zoned
R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential.
Applicant: Lyle Carpenter, c/o Gefroh Associates, 555 South
Howes, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Gave a staff report recommending approval.The Highway
Department has maintained, for some time, that this area is a
potential alignment for the proposed Fort Collins Expressway
and their desire is that no development occur in that area
for an undetermined amount of time. If there is no commitment
made between the State Highway Department and the applicant
then by April 1, 1984, the City would assume that the
applicant could construct in that area.
Don Parsons: Representing the applicant. Would be available to answer
questions.
Al Chotvacs: State Highway Department. Stated that the corridor for this
section has actually been established and it was a?proved up
to Lemay Avenue. From that point is where the highway
diverges and that is the point from which they will be
considering alternative routes that will either go down to
State Highway 14 or out to I-25. Stated that on the original
submission for the property it did show a 300' easement.
When the final was submitted that easement no longer
appeared. Stated that some effort has to be made to preserve
this corridor. Stated that the problem is that if this is
approved, they will not have their final corridor hearing on
those portions done until roughly very late in 1984 or early
1985. Stated that it behooves the Board to look very
carefully and exhaust every means that they had to preclude
and to reserve this portion of this roadway.
Curt Smith: Director of Planning and Development. Asked if the Board
were to deny this development, would the State be willing to
enter in to some kind of agreement with the City that shared
in any potential liability from that decision.
Asked if he would take this request to the necessary
decision -making bodies and find out if such an intergovern-
mental agreement could be established to share the
liability.
Chotvacs: Stated that he could take that request back and present it to
the Attorney General and possibly have an answer in two
weeks.

Rupel: Questioned if he had he had heard correctly that the
alignment had been set to Lemay Avenue coming from the west
to the east.
Smith: Stated that our liability was potentially there even if the
alignment is set. Asked the Board to table this item for a
month and see if we can't come back with at least some
direction from the Council in terms of whether they are
willing to take that particular risk or not. Stated that this
is a risk that the Council may decide to take for the City in
terms of protecting the, right-of-way for this particular
street network.
Lyle Carpenter: Applicant. Stated that he was at a point that he has made
some decisions that affect the north end of the town and the
property and a very expensive piece of ground and he is going
to develop.Asked the Board not to delay the approval of this
plat with his commitment not to build on it for another year.
Ross: Moved to approve Redwood Village PUD Phase III - Final
subject to not developing that 300' corridor prior to April
1, 1984.
Gilfillan:
Second.
Dow:
Stated that he
was not convinced
that it was very good
planning on the
part of the Board or
the staff to put
a 300'
expressway right
through the middle
of a subdivision.
