Reservation for Future Development of U.S. 287 from Drake Road to Hollaway Road Sout of Fort Collins The purpose of this letter is to have as a matter of record those items discussed in a meeting held on February 10, 1965, in Fort Collins at the Lemay Medical Center. Those in attendance were: Herb Spencer - County Commissioner, Larimer County Dr. Robert Lee - Board Member of Planning & Zoning; Board, pity of Fort Collins Robert G.

Powell - Maintenance Sup't., Colo. Dept. of Highways 0. D. Stemple - Acting District Engr., Colo. Dept. of Highways In the past few months there have been several requests for rezoning along U.S. 287 south of Fort Collins beginning at Drake Road and extending southerly for two miles to Holloway Road. Now at this point it becomes necessary for t he planners of the city of Fort Collins and the Fort Collins Regional Planning Board to have information concerning right- of-way widths that wouldtoe required for our future development through this area. It was agreed by all present that frontage roads would be desirable on both sides of freeway.. The suggested typical section that could very likely be required by traffic counts at the time of improvement is attached. Also, a typical section is attached for a proposed frontage road. These are t he typical sections as discussed at the meeting. It is our thinking ghat a right-of-way width of 200' be provided for future high - needs in this area (100' each side of centerline of the present highway). Isl Omar D.
