Re: Columbine East variance request
Project No.: 1018.0001.00
Dear Sherri,
The purpose of this letter is to describe our request for a variance to the standard
that dictates the distance a site access point must be from a public street
intersection. The Columbine East Long Term Care Facility is to be located at the
northeast comer of the intersection of Rule and Lemay. There are two access
points proposed for the site. They are located at the southeast comer accessing
Rule Drive and at the northwest comer accessing Lemay Avenue. The distance
from the centerline intersection of Rule Drive and Lemay Avenue to the
centerline of the private drive is 412 feet. This difference falls short of the
requirement by 48 feet. As you know, two access points are required for the site
design, allowing separate entrances for emergency access. The site size limits
the distance that the access point along Lemay can be from the intersection.
We appreciate you review and approval of this variance. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to give our office a call.
Respectfully,
