March 17, 2009
On Monday, April 6, 2009 beginning promptly at 6:30 p.m. at Blevins Junior High School,
2101 South Taft Hill Road, the City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department will conduct a
neighborhood meeting to discuss a development proposal in your neighborhood. The project is
currently known as a T-Mobile Wireless Telecommunications Facility at 2140 Valley Forge
Avenue.
This is a request to add a wireless communications facility on the developed site (former
daycare facility) at the northwest corner of South Taft Hill Road and Valley Forge Avenue. The
proposed facility would contain a 50 foot high pole, 24 inches (2 feet) in diameter, with antennas
in a sheath on the upper 20 feet of the pole. There would be an equipment building (13 feet x 25
feet and 22 feet high) located at the southeast corner of the existing building and the pole would
be located on the east side of the existing building. A 6 foot high fence will enclose the
equipment building and the pole. The property is in the NC, Neighborhood Commercial Zoning
District. Wireless telecommunications facilities are permitted in this District subject to compliance
with standards set forth in Section 3.8.13 of the City's Land Use Code.
The purpose of this meeting on April 6th is to give all participants the opportunity to ask questions of
the applicant and express their concerns in an informal setting. A development proposal was
made to the City on March 16, 2009; however, no decisions will result from this
neighborhood meeting. The request must complete the City's development review process,
ending with a public hearing in front of a Hearing Officer where a decision on the actual
project will be made. Affected property owners will be notified by letter of a future public
hearing. The applicant and City staff will be present at this neighborhood meeting to introduce the
proposal, respond to questions about the proposed development, and to take notes of the meeting.
The list of affected property owners for this public information meeting is derived from official
records of the Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and
record keeping, or because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been
missed. Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may
have the opportunity to attend. If you are unable to attend this meeting, written comments are
welcome.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at 970-221-6341.
