OIVAL E.NsProject: Hellenic Plaza,
Fort Collins, Colorado
Project No. BSX
On behalf of our client with the above referenced project, we are requesting variances to
the City's Standard Design Criteria. Per the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards,
Fig 7-2F, a 15 foot wide easement shall be provided behind the Right-of-Way for 4-Lane
Arterial streets. Also, per the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, Fig 7-9F, a
9 foot wide easement shall be provided behind the Right-of-Way for Residential Local
streets. The proposed easements for the Hellenic Plaza Development are 3 and 6 feet
behind the Right-of-Way for Shields Street (a 4-Lane Arterial) and Birch Street (a
Residential Local), respectively (please see attached).
This variance is being requested due to physical constraints on the site. Also, since many
utilities are already installed along these two existing streets, the need for the easements
is reduced. The affected utility companies were contacted to get information regarding the
need for additional easement. As a result, many indicated no easement requirements.
The 3 and 6 foot easements for Shields Street and Birch Street are a result of utility
company requests for easements.
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.
