neighborhood meeting.

Comment: You could not begin to take on a project of this magnitude without running
a lot of numbers.
Response: That is not the case. However, we cannot anticipate what the market will
be in 2 — 3 years.
Question: What will lock you into this project? What assurance do we have that you
will not sell the project to some undesirables?
Answer: We are still here, 10 years later, managing our projects in Fort Collins after
they've been built.
Question: Can we petition the City of Fort Collins to allow the density to be much
lower on these sites?
Answer: No, that cannot be done without working with the property
owner/developer to try and reach an agreement to reduce density. This
might require a modification of the density requirement in the MMN
and/or LMN Districts in the Land Use Code and the property
owner/developer would have to make such a request to the City.
Question: I have a storm drainage question. Where will it go? Will it contribute to
the existing detention pond?
Answer: The storm water from this development will go to an outfall at the
southeast corner of the site where it will then go south and contribute to
the existing detention pond in Ridgewood Hills, 3'd Filing.
Comment: We are already below this site and will have 3-story buildings looming
over us.
Response: We will be sensitive to building those units into the slopes.
Question: When is the Transportation Impact Study submitted and what type of
quantifiable information is provided to evaluate impacts?
Answer: The study must be part of the Project Development Plan submittal to the
City of Fort Collins and we do have to provide the necessary quantifiable
information with the study.
Question: In what order will you build the project and how long will it take to build
it out?
Answer: We will probably build Tract T first and anticipate a 3-year build -out for
5
They both are in close proximity to and partially back up to single-family
neighborhoods.
17. Question: Would you sign a lease with someone who is unemployed?
Answer: No, we would not. That's not to say, however, that they could become
unemployed after moving into the project.
18. Question: Fox Meadows is a subsidized project. Why did you pick this location for
this type of development?
Answer: Fox Meadows is not a subsidized project. We chose this site because of
the zoning on the properties and their access to South College Avenue.
19. Question: What about traffic generated from this development and what is the
possibility of traffic signals at Triangle Drive and South College Avenue
and at Avondale Road and Trilby Road?
Answer: To install signals at those locations the standard warrants must be met. The
Traffic Impact Analysis will help determine the needs and warrants.
20. Question: We have a lot of children in our neighborhood already, with the potential
for many more. How can Triangle Drive handle the increased amount of
traffic?
Answer: The impact being created must demonstrate the need for improvements to
the street and signals in the area. The Traffic Impact Analysis submitted
with this development proposal will help determine needs.
21. Question: What is an equivalent unit in Caribou Apartment selling for now?
Answer: I do not have an answer to your question tonight.
22. Comment: There will be a diversion of traffic on Woodrow Drive to avoid traffic on
Avondale Road. There are no speed bumps on Woodrow.
Response: No response to this comment was given at the neighborhood meeting.
23. Question: The Sidehill development at Timberline Road and East Drake Road has
units priced at $140,000 - $160,000. Is your plan really to rent most of
these units rather than sell them?
Answer: We cannot answer your question tonight.
2
dwelling units per acre in the MMN, Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood District that is on Tract T would effectively preclude
single-family homes. The required Traffic Impact Analysis will help
determine the traffic generated from this development.
11. Question: Could the developer ask for variances from the required densities in each
zoning district?
Answer: Yes, the City's Land Use Code contains a modification of standard
procedure that the developer could use to request densities other than that
required in the LMN and MMN Districts. The Hearing Officer or the
Planning & Zoning Board, the decision maker, is authorized to grant
modifications of the standards based on certain criteria in the code.
12. Question: What is the target age and incomes for the residents of this project?
Answer: Age is really irrelevant, although we do not rent to college students. The
incomes will be based on the Average Medium Income (AMI) of the
community, with the majority of the dwelling units being priced at 50% of
AMI.
13. Question:
You do not rent to felons or sex offenders?
Answer:
Yes, that is true, and it is based on the information provided with their
background checks.
14. Comment:
The developer stated that "We control very carefully who resides in our
properties".
Response:
No response to this comment necessary and none was given at the
neighborhood meeting.
15. Question:
Would you consider a lower density on Tract T, the property zoned MMN,
Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood?
Answer:
We have just started our design development process and will consider
your suggestion.
16. Question:
I live at the corner of Avondale Road and Triangle Drive. Do you have
other projects in Fort Collins that back right up to single-family
neighborhoods?
Answer: Yes, we have Fox Meadows at Timberline Road and East Horsetooth
Road; and, Caribou Apartments at Timberline Road and Caribou Drive.

Q
10.
Question: Does the Thompson School District get involved in development review?
Answer: Yes they do, at the time of submittal of a Project Development Plan to
initiate the City of Fort Collins development review process. They will be
routed the Site Plans and Planning Objectives so that they can evaluate the
impacts of the development on their school district's long range planning.
They will provide their comments to City staff during the process.
Comment: This project will have a negative impact on our property values. Also,
crime, speeding, etc. will impact our neighborhoods.
Response: No response to this comment was given at the neighborhood meeting.
Question: With this area as affordable, is it to be low income or subsidized?
Answer: The project could be for rent or for sale, affordable or not. We will be
doing significant background checks on our residents, as we do at our
other projects.
Question: Will this project be subsidized?
Answer: No, it will not be subsidized.
Question: What is the target price for these dwelling units and what will be the
number of residents that will be living here?
Answer: We do not know at this time what the target price for a unit will be
because we cannot anticipate the market.
Linda Ripley of Ripley Design Inc., the developer's local planning
consultant, cited the expected bedroom counts in the project.
Question: Can pedophiles live here based on the zoning on the property?
Answer: That kind of restriction is not based on zoning in the City of Fort Collins.
We have better control of our residents because of the background checks
we do on them.
Question: Is it possible to build single-family homes on these tracts versus multi-
family? What about traffic generation?
Answer: Single-family homes could possibly be built on Tract N at the required
density of 5 — 8 dwelling units per acre in the LMN, Low Density Mixed -
Use Neighborhood District. The required minimum density of 7 — 12
