Re: Variance requests for the Frazier Subdivision
Dear Mr. Rutherford,
This letter is in response to your request for variances to the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards:
One variance requested was a reduction of the driveway separation requirement on Prospect Road to be
reduced from 660 feet to 82 feet. The other variance requested was to waive the requirement for the
design of Prospect Road for the ultimate width both along the project's frontage and offsite. Both variances
have been approved by the City. Engineer only for this project.
As with all variances to the street standards, the variances granted for this project are based on the
particular situation under design and the judgment that we (the designer and the City) apply to determine
whether there is a public safety concern. The variances for this project in no way set any precedence for
relaxing these standards on other projects without complete analysis and. justification.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Katie Moore
Project Engineer
City of Fort Collins
