We join the residents and neighbors of the properties surrounding 2333 West Vine Drive in urging you to
deny approval of the plans as submitted. As submitted, the development plans are ***OUT OF
CHARACTER*** with the surrounding area, which is primarily single-family dwellings and small country
acreages. To subdivide the subject property into 9 lots is unreasonable, as each lot would barely meet the
6,000 square foot requirement, and only if measured from the center point of the U-shaped drive being
proposed. Traffic impacts to the area are also unreasonable. A lower -density design should be the only
allowable use.
We urge you to call a Public Hearing for this proposed project.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. "Leonard" Pettus

Dear Mr. Pettus and Ms. Bennett:
Thank you for your July 26, 2004, email expressing your concerns about the Adrian Subdivision proposal
and requesting a public hearing about this issue.
One concern you mentioned relates to the size and density of the project. The proposed development is
for single-family housing within a predominantly single-family area. Within the surrounding neighborhoods,
there are lots sizes ranging from about 7,000 square feet to 14,000 square feet. The proposed lots in the
Adrian Subdivision range from 6,000 square feet to 6,700 square feet in size, which meet the minimum lot
size set in the RILL District. The issue of whether the proposal is "compatible" with surrounding
development will be determined by an Administrative Hearing Officer.
Regarding your concern about increased traffic to the area, the City's Traffic Engineer has indicated that
vehicle trips generated by this proposed single-family residential project is below the threshold that would
require a Transportation Impact Study. Therefore, none was required. However, the developer is still
responsible for street improvements to North Impala Drive and West Vine Drive adjacent to the Adrian
property and probably for additional off -site improvements to, at least, North Impala Drive for a distance to
the south of the property. Street improvements are an important element of the engineering plans for the
Adrian Subdivision.
The Adrian P.D.P. is currently in the development review process. An Administrative Public Hearing will
be held in approximately three to six months. A hearing officer, likely a land -use attorney from Denver, will
conduct the hearing. Neighbors will be notified of the hearing date by mail at least two weeks prior to the
hearing.
Please feel free to contact the project planner, Steve Olt, in our Current Planning Department if you have
any concerns or questions about the review process. Mr. Olt can be reached at 221-6750 or by e-mail at
soltOfcaov.com.
Sincerely,
Darin A. Atteberry
Interim City Manager
