building as proposed, or they would repetition to
their present zoning. Pictures of the area were

described i.e. in 1961 area was C Residential with

a non -conforming use. He then went into more detail

ments on the new land. Land to the West was not good
for High Class Residents. The view from Indian Hills

is not to the Northeast. This would be a 96 unit
structure of value to Fort Collins. Service facilities,
etc. would cost $1,250,000 to $1,500,000. Letters of
approval from Mr. Hahn to the North, and Dr. Anderson
from Indian Hills, and one from Mr. Chandler from
Indian Hills.
Harry Asmuss: (From Eventide Association) We have
been asked to construct something along this line
especially by the Medical Society. We don't want
to detract from the area, but rather to add to it.
There will be a dining room for all guests. "Questions?"
Lynn Anduss: Asked about the material of the exterior.
Harry Asmuss: Aggregate finish which is fire -proof.
Tom Coffey: Asked the developers if they �w$v put a
covenant upon the set back of approximately 175 or
180 feet for 25 years or so.
Harry Asmuss, Alden Hill: Stated this would be no
problem.
Ed Asmuss: Discussed the parking problem of the present
building and pointed out that with the new building, the
parking situation on Stuart Street would be alleviated
to some degree. Staff members would all be required
to park to the rear.
Lynn Anduss: Inquired as to the staff of the new
development.
Ed Asmuss: There are 18 to 24 people.
• Mrs. Wood: Asked about the parking facilities.
Harry Asmuss: Discussed the plat showing
the parking facilities and described their screening.
Alden T. Hill: Said Mr. Hahn, Mr. Glen Chandler, and
Dr. Hilliard are here to answer questions.
Gene Allen: Clarified question of set back. The 184
foot set back mentioned was from the center line of
Stuart to the South wall of the building.
Lynn Anduss: Called for questions from the gallery.
Bill Allen: (Attorney for some of Indian Hills) stated:
1. Opposed to rezoning.
2. Presented petitions.
3. Referred to comprehensive zoning in 1965.
4. Discussed changes in the area, i.e. Indian Hills
developing as fine R-L area.
5. University Acres developing basically as R-L to
the North.
6. School site developing to the East.
7. For these reasons he felt the zoning was correct
when made.
B. He discussed the relative intensities of R-H, and
R-P, and asked all those in the gallery to stand
if they were opposed to the zoning. Most people stood.
Gene Allen: Stated:
1. R-P is basically good for the area.
2. It is a question of how things are done, not what
is done.
3. Developers have done a good job in trying to
cooperate with the neighborhood.
4. Stuart Street will be a busy street and this
should be a consideration.
PLANNING AND ZONING .RD Page 4 • October 3, 1967
5. There is no height requirement in the present
zoning, no yard requirement in the present zoning.
R-P in all cases is guided in yard and height
requirements by its surrounding zoning.
6. What happened at this particular time might
affect other areas.
7. In time the trees could screen a tall building.
8. Ground is relatively high, but the yard is quite
large which would make the height acceptable.
9. Stated there would be many problems in developing
the tracts of land in the Spring Creek Area.
Multiple type developments would be _probable.
10. Also, rest homes would be good for the community.
11. Studies indicate this type of building would be
the best designed.
Robert Tueting:Said it was a commercial building in
a poor location, and bad for the residents. Thought
Indian Hills was a nice area, and he recommended they
consider another area. He recommended the so called
Civic Board, i.e. Planning and Zoning Board, consider
refusing this petition. He felt that a commercial
structure such as this would depreciate the value of
the area.
Lynn Anduss: "Further comments?"
Alden T. Hill: Stated that from his own experience,
the University dorms actually helped his area.
• Lynn Anduss: Called for a motion.
Gene Allen: Stated that R-M would probably permit this
use.
TEN MINUTE RECESS
Ken Pastor: Made a motion and statement that we can
not justify a high density use in this area.
Mr. Wood: Seconded.
Vote: Tom Coffey and Mayor Bennett abstained from
voting, Ken Pastor, Mrs. Wood, and Lynn Anduss voted
in favor of the motion recommending the rezoning be
disapproved.
