August 8, 1968 The City Council c/o Mr. Tom Coffey, City Manager and Mr. Don Reynolds, City Planner City Hall Fort Collins, Colorado Gentlemen: We respectfully request that we be allowed to vacate that portion of Cheyenne Drive between lots 85 and 86, Indian Hills, Fourth Filing that lies west of Stover Street to our property line. The reason for this request is that the street is not beingused, and it appears to us that it will not be used in the future. I discussed this with various members of the City Departments; and since we did not have a use for that land, I have done nothing about requesting a vacation of this street. At the moment, I have a purchaser for the lots in this area and we would add the sixty foot street to the lots on either side of the street and can probably make three lots out of the two existing ones. I would like to have a decision on this 'matter as soon as is practical. Yours very truly, EVERITT ENTERPRISES, INC. /s/ Gerald R.

The following memo was presented and read ,t length: August 15, 1968 TO: City Council FROM: Don Reynolds SUBJECT: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance I would like to call the Council's attention to what I believe to be a deficiency in the Unit Development provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. As it is currently framed, the unit development concept is applicable to R-P and B-P zones only. I believe it would be advantageous to both the city and to the developer if the developer were given the optionof coming under the planned unit concept at any of the density levels as provided in the residential districts of the zoning ordinance. I would suggest, therefore, that the zoning ordinance be amended as follows: Insert the following language as new sections 4.8, 5.8, 6.8 and 7.8: "Areas planned as a unit to provide variation in building placement, and which are located on a unit development plan as defined, processed and approved according to Section XIX of this ordinance may vary requirements for minimum area of lot, width of lot, front yard, rear yard and side yard as required above." Change the wording of Section 19-2 (3) to read as follows: "Residential unit developments in areas with R-P zoning shall have a maximum density of 12 units per acre, except in such cases where the development has at least 50 percent of its boundary adjacent to an R-H district or to.a non-resi- dential city zoning districtp, in which case the maximum density shall be 20 units per ac The maximum density of residential unit developments in all other residential zones shall be based .upon the overall lot area to floor area ratio as specified in the applicable zoning district regulations." Change the first two lines of Section 19.3 to read as follows: "A unit development proposal shall be processed in the following manner: (which may or may not run concurrently with a rezoning request)". Respectfully submitted, /s/ Don Reynolds Planning Director Motion was made by Councilman Kissock, seconded by Councilman Bennett, that this matter be referred to the Planning and Zoning Board for study and recommendation.
