WORK SESSION
February 23, 2010
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Single Family Design Standards for the East and West Side Neighborhoods. (staff: Joe
Frank, Steve Dush, Megan Bolin, Clark Mapes; 30 minute discussion)
Staff is seeking feedback and direction on how to address issues in the East and West
Side Neighborhoods created by the alteration or replacement of older houses with new
construction. Such buildings are commonly referred to as "pop-ups", "scrape-offs" or
"tear-downs". Some have caused controversy regarding aspects of compatibility with
adjacent homes and neighborhood character.
Advance Planning will manage a project to study the issue with neighborhood outreach
to determine if additional regulations are necessary. The goal is to foster compatible
design of future "pop-ups" and "scrape-offs"through an open public process.
3. The Priority Affordable Housing Needs to be Addressed in the City of Fort Collins 2010-
2014 A,(fordable Housing Strategic Plan. (staff: Joe Frank, Ken Waido, Megan Bolin; 30
minute discussion)
The 2010-2014 Affordable Housing Strategic Plan will establish new goals, policies,
objectives, and implementation strategies for the City's affordable housing programs for
the next five years. The plan will identify the most critical affordable housing needs and
establish funding priorities to help guide decisions regarding the allocation of City
financial resources through the competitive process. The Strategic Plan is not meant to
predetermine dollar allocations or commit the City to certain projects; rather, it provides
a flexible framework of prioritized needs so that issues may be addressed as they arise.
4. Project Update on the Mason Corridor BRT Project Final Design (staff: Helen
Migchelbrink, Steve McQuilken; 1 hour discussion)
The Mason Corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project has transitioned from a planning
project to a capital project. The project team is advancing the thirty percent preliminary
design plans from the Environmental Evaluation into a final design that is cost effective,
constructible, and will result in an efficient and convenient BRT corridor that meets
community expectations. Major project elements refined during this design process
include: BRT guideway (roadway), structures, drainage, railroad and utility coordination,
traffic engineering, station layout and architecture, and fare collection. Throughout this
final design process, the project team will continue to work closely with stakeholders to
identify urban design elements that will incorporate the BRT stations into the
community.
5. Other Business.
6. Adjournment.
