HEAD -IN PARKING ANGLED PARKING (4) Vehicular Overhang. The stall dimensions indicated above may be modified with respect to vehicular overhang as indicated in Figure 5, except that compact vehicle spaces may not be reduced in depth to a dimension that is less than the required depth indicated above. (M) Landscaping. The following minimum standards shall apply to all parking lot landscaping plans: (1) Landscaping Coverage. At least six (6) percent of the interior space of any parking lot containing at least one thousand eight hundred (1800) square feet and containing not less than six (6) or more than one hundred (100) spaces, and ten (10) percent of the interior space of any parking lot with more than one hundred (100) spaces, shall be devoted to landscaping meeting the standards set forth in this Division. See Figure 1 at Section 3.2.1(E). (2) Installation. Except as provided herein, no certificate of occupancy for property with an off-street parking area required to provide landscaping in conformance with these regulations shall be issued unless all landscaping on the property has been installed in accordance with an approved landscape plan for such property.

Figure 5 Vehicular Overhang for Standard -Size Parking Stalls A (3) Long -Term Parking Stalls. As an option in long-term parking areas, if no compact car stalls are to be included, all long-term parking stalls may be designated using the following stall dimensions: Parking Angle Stall Width Stall Length j 30 8 19 45 I 8 19 60 8.5 m 18 90 8.5 18 A -Angle of Parking B-Stall Width C-Stall Length D-Stall Depth E-Curb Length F-Two-Sided Loading Width G-One-Sided Loading Width * When garages are located along a driveway and are opposite other garages or buildings, the driveway width must be increased to 28 feet. ** When an overhand is allowed to reduce stall depth, aisle width must be increased to 22 feet.

This proposal meets or exceeds the parking standards established by King Soopers for 60 degree angled parking. Please review and contact me to discuss how to best incorporate these changes and any necessary language into the ODP that is currently under review.

ARCHITECTURE • PLANNING • INTERIORS December 17, 2008 City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-058C ATTN: Mr. Stephen Olt, City Planner RE: North College Marketplace T.M.G. Project #: 08004 Dear Steve: RECEIVED DEC 1 9 2008 0 Attached please find the overall site plan of the proposed North College Marketplace. We would like to review the possibility of applying for a variance to modify the dimensions of the parking stalls. We understand that the variance would need to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Board per section 2.8.2(H) but we would like to get your opinion on our proposal prior to incorporating it into the ODP. The modifications would apply to the 60 degree angled parking stalls only. All drive aisles and 90 degree parking stalls would be constructed per City Standards. We propose to reduce the depth of the parking stalls (the `D' dimension) as follows: o Internal stalls by 1'-5", from 21'-0" to 19-8" o Stalls adjacent to the landscaped areas 1'-4", from 21'-0" to 19'-7", the two feet of curb overhang will remain. These modifications will reduce the total distance per aisle to 63'-3" from the city standard of 66'-0". Please refer to the enlarged portion of the attached site plan for a graphical representation of the proposed stall layout. Incorporating the proposed modifications will allow the 2 central pedestrian walkways to increase in width from approximately 9 feet to 15 feet and increase the landscaped area in those islands from about 5,000 square feet to about 9,000 square feet. Additionally, the bio-swale on the north side of the parking field will increase to 1,500 square feet. Please refer to the overall site plan for a graphical representation of the enlarged landscape, bio-swale and pedestrian areas. Please note, most of the 60 degree angled rows of parking contain 16 contiguous spaces instead of 15. However, the landscape islands at the ends of the rows have been enlarged to allow for more substantial landscaping. 1730 Blake Street, Suite 435 • Denver, Colorado 80202 • TEL: (303) 297-3334 • FAX: (303) 292-2601
