The project is located at 317 and 325 Cherry Street and will have 10% of the units or (one unit) affordable to a household at 80% and below Area Median Income (AMI). The development meets the City's definition for an affordable housing project and qualifies for Priority Processing and a 10% waiver of its Development Review Fees. The waiver only applies to fees charged by the Current Planning Department. Please implement Priority Processing procedures for this project's development review process. The developer will be submitting an application for review to the Current Planning Department today. If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6342. Thank you. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.

D MWCIVI LENS] NEER S. COM On behalf of our client with the above referenced project, we request a variance to the City's Standard Design Criteria. Per the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, Sec. 9.3.2.E and Figures 706 and 707, driveways for single family dwelling units shall be a minimum width of 12 feet. The driveway for this project has been designed with a width of 9 feet (please see attached). There are several reasons for the reduced driveway width. First, in order to meet the minimum width requirement, the driveway would comprise almost the entire space between the existing building and the west property line. It is probable that, because of their psychological discomfort with obstructions near the edge of the pavement, drivers would not utilize the full width of the driveway. Second, because Cherry Street is 60 feet wide (15 feet wider on each side than a standard residential local street) more space is available for a turning movement into the driveway. In conclusion, full compliance with the Standard Design Criteria would impose undue hardship in developing the site. It is our opinion that the proposed design will adequately meet the intent of the standards for the health, safety and welfare of the public.

We will place provisions in the Condominium Declaration that the sewer line is a shared line and that all costs will be shared on an equitable basis, which basis will be worked out after final plans are approved, and that the association has the full responsibility for the repair, maintenance, and replacement of the sewer line without obligation or liability to the City of Fort Collins. We will need to decide whether this responsibility attaches at the connection to the main line or commences at the property boundary. Nevertheless, adequate provisions will be placed in the Declaration to ensure that the City has no responsibility. gss cc: Mr. Greg Glebe (via e-mail) Mr. Jeff Hill, City Waste/Wastewater
