Hello David,
We appreciate the opportunity to open up the design process for our
housing project and work with you, the ACC, and Fairway Estates Board to
make this project something we all can be proud of.
To that end, Larry Stroud has asked me to review your comments
concerning the proposed housing development on Harmony Road. The
attached memorandum addresses our current thought and design intent for
each of the 7 points we were copied on.
look forward to seeing you at the neighborhood meeting on the 20th,
where we will be accompanied by Tim Mowbray representing the developer,
Accessible Space, Inc.

water from this property and parking lot can not be diverted into the FE
ponds or the city water system.
' There need to be a mature landscaping (Large trees and bushes)
plan as this will be a three story building with considerable disruption
to the neighborhood.
There needs to be a sidewalk / landscaping plan for the Harmony
entrance that will be in line with the City's Harmony master plan
' Part of this sidewalk / landscaping plan need to create
complete access to and from the property for walking residents to the
JFK/ Hogan & Harmony intersection This will include the Dental and Fire
department properties to the east.
There needs to be an traffic entrance and exit plan
The FE bridal path easement needs to be addressed.
' The parking lot looks larger than will be needed for a property
where —40% of the residents do not drive
One factor I would like to better understand is the how the 80 set
back, (where it would start) the egress lanes and the bridal path,
landscaping and sidewalk will impact on the building location that
forced the building south and the no build zone that that forces the
building to the north.
May be we could sit down together tan talk before the 20th to better
understand these situations
Keep The Faith,

Hello Ted,
I just received this from the architect that is doing the commercial
development on the low income, handicap housing on Harmony that is west
of the Fire station and the undeveloped dental property:
This is their response to the Fairway Estates request of:
1. Landscaping Plan including fencing plan
2. Utility Plan
3. Lighting plan
4. Storm water Plan
5. Connectivity plan to the JFK/ Hogan & Harmony intersection
6. Traffic Plans /Studies
And any sound studies that have been done
This looks like just words and no real plans, we also sent them these
Issues which were not addressed in the response as well.
Here are some Issues I know will have to be addressed that are part of
the information that required above:
' Containing the Fort Collins Supportive Housing residents,
visitors, guests to their property so there will not be trespassing on
FE property.
Fort Collins Supportive Housing residents will not be members of
the FEPOA (HOA)
Concern about the slopping to the back/south part of the lot to
FE upper pond. (Safety, Access, Runoff).
' Concern about the lighting of the lot that will change the
nature of the area.
Concern about car traffic, sounds ,lights will be impacting the
neighborhood
(The above items can be greatly improved/ helped/ controlled with a
complete fence (5-6 foot ) around the Fort Collins Supportive Housing
property and with low level and low elimination lighting.
There needs to be storm water retention/ control plan as the
