Subject: Comments on Mixed Use Building Project
Seth:
Thank you for the opportunity for providing these comments via email. A representative of the church was planning
to attend the April 3rd meeting but found the building locked. I trust these comments are still able to be added to
the record.
First, let me say thank you for the opportunity as an affected party to make comments about the new mixed -use
building project at 203 West Mulberry. As business administrator at First Presbyterian Church at 531 S. College
Avenue I am aware of the additional burden this new construction is likely to place on our operation and how the
request for modification of standards will increase that burden.
Part of our physical plant is a parking lot for more than 200 vehicles running along Mason Street between Myrtle and
Mulberry. Residents in existing apartment buildings, including 3 in the 100 block of the south side of West Mulberry,
and buildings at 109 and 113 West Myrtle, already illegally use our parking lot on a regular basis because of too few
parking spots provided for their use. It is obvious if the new building were built to current standards adding only 64
parking spots for 64 dwelling units parking is already inadequate and will increase the illegal parking at our facility.
However, then to allow 4 modifications to reduce the effectiveness of existing parking spot standards would be
unconscionable. Please take these comments as from a neighbor who would like to be supportive but not trampled
upon.
Sincerely,
Donald W. Genson
Business Administrator
FPC, Fort Collins
