This could be another CABRINEE or HENRY HOMER project development on a smaller scale. An average of 10% of the total cost of the development should be spent each year for Maintenance. H. Formation and juxtaposition of units should be reviewed. J. Physical comfort is lacking between the Site and Community. The present Community has character, scale, landscaping and resources to keep it in good stead for the next 30 years. We are getting motherhood and lip service in an attempt to fit this project into the community. If not carefully executed It will pull the neighborhood in the direction of a future slum area. Additional Programmatic Concepts need to be addressed for: Priority Character Service, activity, people Grouping Relationship Communications Neighbors Accessibility Separate and Mixed flow Flexibility and Tolerance Safety Environmental Control Storage Play ground equipment plus areas Out door lighting On and Off Site Utilities Storm and Flood / Runoff Walls and Screens Austere Budget Behavior Patterns Life Cycle Costs Land to Floor Area Ratios Contingencies ert Bodnar A.I.A.

This is tight Quarters. The allowable comfort Level calls for '+or- 300 S.F. average / person. 1. Talk of Elderly Units was mentioned, but no.S.F. area was Stipulated. This presents a problem as to the type of care and degree of care to be provided by the Charity, they have stated that this mix of units has not been attempted before and they have no experience as to how this will work. 2. Activity I.E. A. Segregation and Relationships of families who come together as a group or those who want Privacy. B. The Elderly must also be factored into this equation. C.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Attention: Mr. Ted Shepard Dear Mr. Shepard: APR 2 2 RECT- Since I am unable to attend the Planning Department meeting on Thursday, April 23, at the Plymouth Congregational Church on Prospect, I am writing to you in response to your letter of April 15, 1998 regarding the application to construct low-income housing on the eastern portion of Windtrail Park Apartments P.U.D. As a resident and home owner very near to the area under discussion, I am strongly opposed to the project. Low income family housing brings along with it, unfortunately, more crime, noise, and traffic into the area. Another reason I am opposed to it is that the proximity of low income housing can also negatively affect the value of already established homes in the area. As a property owner, this is a big concern to me. Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns. Sincerely, C4�� C�e Lynda L. Melby FEB 21999 1 /29/99 Ted Shepherd Community Planning & Environmental Services PO Box 580 Fort Collins, Co. 80522 Dear Ted: On Thursday, January 28 Sister Mary Alice Murphy presented plans for the proposed Care Housing at Windtrail park to Hillpond residents at our Annual Homeowners Meeting. With the permission of the homeowners who were present at this meeting, 1 am writing to convey our general approval of the project as it was presented to us. It seems to us well planned, and we are assured that the CARE organization will provide careful and ongoing screening and supervision of residents. Please pass this letter along to the Planning & Zoning Board for their deliberations. Thank you. me ely, _ Ronald S. Hert Hill Pond Homeowners Assoc.

We feel this project is valuable as it will provide ten affordable housing units for seniors. This is the first effort in Fort Collins to include the 55+ age group in affordable housing. The screening process used by CARE and their house rules for tenants provide us a level of confidence for the long range success of this program. The other CARE Communities are responsibly run and are aesthetic additions to Fort Collins. There has been a need in Fort Collins for this type of housing for older adults. We are available to work with this organization, and others, as we continue to meet the needs of seniors requiring affordable housing.
