RE: ELIZABETH STREET SENIOR APARTMENTS PARKING RATIO
Dear Troy,
Enclosed please find a review summary of the available parking ratios and car
ownership at senior age -designated communities with which I have had personal
involvement over the past fifteen years. One-to-one parking ratios, or even less, is the
norm rather than the exception even when on -street parking is unavailable. Many age -
designated communities even with a minimum age restriction of fifty-five years
commonly have average ages of 65 years or older at the completion of the initial lease -
up. As the residents age in place, the number of available spaces actually increases
due to residents' decisions to give up driving.
I have been involved with the development and management of age -designated
communities since 1985 and, although car ownership has risen slightly, the parking
ratios on the attached review summary have remained well within acceptable quantities.
I will be happy to discuss this with you at your convenience and/or provide you with the
names and numbers of a number of site managers you may wish to speak with.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Danowitz

Re: Alternative Compliance — Neighborhood Park Requirement
Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments — Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Brian,
On behalf of the Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments (the "Community"), I hereby
request approval of a modification to the park requirement as specified in the Land Use
Code section 4.5(D)(3) as it relates to the Community. The modification, if granted, would
allow the Community to construct a 3,500 square foot park area in lieu of the required
10,000 square foot park.
Land Use Code section 4.5(D)(3) states that developments not located within one -
quarter mile of a neighborhood park are required to install a 10,000 square foot park on
site. As this Community will be 0.5 miles from Avery Park and 0.7 miles from City Park,
it would normally be held to the 10,000 square foot standard.
The site plan submitted shows that the Community's site is quite small (less than
one and one-half acre excluding ditch company easements). When considering the
placement of the building, parking and required site drainage facilities, there is simply
insufficient area for an on -site park of the required size. However, in an effort to meet the
spirit of the code, the site design uses all available and unused area to incorporate
approximately 3,500 square feet of open space in the north east portion of the site. This
space will provide outdoor tables and benches and will be landscaped with shade trees and
natural grasses to provide an attractive area in which residents can gather and interact
(please see the attached plan and elevation for the proposed design). As well, the site
design incorporates an outdoor sitting area in the southern portion of the property (also see
attached area plan for design details). In addition to the outdoor gathering area, the
building design incorporates a 2,500 square foot community room, which will be furnished
and available for social events and gatherings.
From its inception, the Elizabeth Street Senior Apartment Community has been
developed to address the shortage of truly affordable housing available to the senior
community in Fort Collins. The Community as proposed accomplishes this goal by
providing independent senior living with long-term affordability, attractive building
design, conscientious landscape planning and a convenient location. In reviewing this
request for modification, the city should also consider these three specific criteria:

�����tisin ���sonsolutions.<on�
1) The modification will not be detrimental to the public good — The
Community as proposed will provide 50 units of affordable housing to
tenants over the age of fifty-five (55) years. The Community's rents will be
restricted such that 100 percent (100%) of the tenant households will have
annual incomes of no more than forty percent (40%) of Larimer County's
median income (a maximum household income of approximately $18,000
for a two person household). The housing provided by this Community,
with deeply skewed rents targeting the aging population, only adds to the
public good and addresses an urgent need in Fort Collins.
2) The plan submitted will protect the public interests equally as well as would
aplan which complies with the standard — Generally, the public interests as
described throughout the City Plan are to provide safe affordable housing
that is attractively built and maintained and is placed within its
neighborhood such that social interaction and diversity is encouraged. The
proposed Community addresses each of these interests while bringing both
age and economic diversity to an established neighborhood.
3) The plan submitted will protect the purpose of the standard for which the
modification is requested — The purpose of the standard as described in
section 4.5 (A) of the Land Use Code is to provide "buildings, bike and
walking paths, open spaces and parks ... configured to create an inviting
and convenient living environment." The Community as proposed will
utilize all available site area to provide 3,500 square feet of attractively
designed open space for resident use and enjoyment.
We believe that the overall benefits, as outlined, provide ample and valid support
for granting the modification to Land Use Code 4.5(D)(3) requirements as they relate to
the Elizabeth Street Senior Apartment community. Thank you for your consideration and
please feel free to contact me directly if I can address any further questions or comments.

Reference: Elizabeth Street Apartments Modification Request - Radius Style Drive
Approach
Dear Mr. Virata:
The intent of this letter is to request a modification to the standards set forth by the City of Fort
Collins Land Use Code (LUC), particularly section 3.6.2(L)(2)(e). Section 3.6.2(L)(2)(e) is in
reference to private drives and their access to public roads. The section in the LUC specifically
requires that private accesses adhere to the city street standards for a "New Driveway Approach"
by using a driveway cut. It is our understanding that the driveway cut specified in the LUC is
different than the drive approach style required by the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards (LCUASS) that were adopted in January of 2001. Section 9.3.2(A)(1) of the LCUASS
requires that driveway approaches entering directly onto an arterial street must have a radial
access opening in accordance with drawings within the standards. Elizabeth Street across this
development's frontage is classified as an arterial. In addition, the proposed drive approach
exceeds the 350 vehicle per day requirement for "Low Volume Driveways". The attached
spreadsheet provided by this project's traffic engineer, Balloffet-Entranco, points out that this
site will have approximately 434 vehicles per day.
Regarding the three criteria that are required to be met in the LUC, section 2.8.2, Modification
Review Procedures, section H, this request meets the intent of paragraph 1. This request will not
be detrimental to the public good and "the plan as submitted will advance or protect the public
interests and purposes of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or
better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is
requested".
If you have any questions regarding this modification request please call me at your convenience.

Re: Alternative Compliance — Neighborhood Park Requirement
Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments — Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Troy,
On behalf of Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments (the "Community"), I hereby
request a waiver of the requirements of Land Use Code section 4.5(D)(3) as it relates to the
Community. This waiver will allow the construction of 50 affordable rental units
targeting tenants 55 years or older.
Land Use Code section 4.5(D)(3) states that developments not located within one -
quarter mile of a neighborhood park are required to install a 10,000 square foot park on
site. As you will see from the site plan submitted, the community's site is small (less than
one and one half acre excluding canal easements). When considering the building
placement, parking and required site drainage facilities, there is simply insufficient area for
the required park. However, the benefits of the development to the surrounding
neighborhood and greater community of Fort Collins outweigh the inability to provide this
feature.
From it's inception, the Elizabeth Street Senior Apartment Development has been
designed to address the shortage of affordable housing available to the senior community
of Fort Collins. The community as proposed accomplishes this goal by providing
independent senior living with long-term affordability, attractive Building design, and
conscientious landscape planning and convenient location. In reviewing this request for
waiver, the city should consider this development's benefits in the content of these three
specific criteria:
1 ) The modification will not be detrimental to the public good — The Community as
proposed will provide 50 units of affordable housing to tenants over the age of fifty-
five (55) years. The Community's rents will be restricted such that one hundred
percent (100%) of the tenant households will have annual incomes of no more than
forty percent (40%) of Larimer County's median income (a maximum household
income of approximately S18,000 for a two -person household). The housing provided
by this development, with deeply skewed rents targeting the aging population, only
adds to the public good addressing an urgent need in Fort Collins.

2) The flan submitted will protect the public interests equally as well as would a plan

Use Code is to provide "Buildings, bike and walking paths, open spaces and

development as proposed will be unable to provide 10,000 square foot park area to its
design; it will provide an attractively constructed and well maintained community with
significant landscaping and as much open space as the site dimensions will allow. This
development will create the highest and best use for this small and currently vacant lot.
We believe that the overall benefits, as outlined, provide ample and valid support
for granting the modification to Land Use Code Section 4.5(D)(3) with respect to the
Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments. Thank you for your consideration and please feel
free to call me directly if I can address any further questions or comments.

Re: Alternative Compliance — Parking Ratio
Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments — Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Troy,
On behalf of the Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments (the "Community"), I hereby
request approval of an alternative parking ratio.
Our site plan contains 50 parking spaces, or a parking ratio of I space per dwelling
unit. We feel the number of parking spaces we plan to provide will be adequate for the
following reasons:
1. This Community will be occupied exclusively by tenants over the age of fifty-five (55)
years. It can be reasonably expected that a far lesser percentage of households in this
Community will own cars than in a typical family community. As a result, a lesser
number of parking spaces will be required to accommodate the smaller number of
tenant -owned vehicles.
2. One hundred percent (100%) of the households in this community are restricted to
annual incomes of no more than forty percent (40%) of Larimer County's median
income (a maximum household income of approximately 518,000 for a two -person
household). With incomes at this very low level, it is common that fewer seniors own
automobiles because they do not have the financial means to register, insure and
maintain the vehicle. As a result, a lesser number of parking spaces will be required to
accommodate the smaller number of tenant -owned vehicles.
A parking ratio of 1 space per dwelling unit is projected to be more than adequate
for the tenant population of Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments and their guests. For your
further edification, I have attached the results of a Senior Housing Parking Survey. This
survey was conducted by our property management company and compares the sufficiency

This letter, at your request, is to serve as notice to the City of Fort Collins That Colorado Sate University is
exploring the feasibility of providing easements to Simpson Housing, LLC 1-or the proposed Elizabeth
Street Apartments.
The easements we are exploring include: installation of a storm drainage swalc and trickle pan to convey
flows from the apartment site to the existing parking lot at the NW corner of Elizabeth Street and City Park
Avenue and a connecting sanitary gcwcr service line to the existing sewer main along the westerly portion
of University Village.
Grmtino of these easements is contingent upon the following:
approval of the easements by the CSU administration or die State Board of Agriculture as
may be required,
certification from design engineers that the existing storm detention located in the parking lot
can accept the storm drainage from your site with out adverse impacts to the existing capacity
or down stream flows,
full payment for the easements to be granted.
Sinc- ely,
Ronald A. Raker
