Project Descrintion/Backrround:
This is an application for rezoning and future development of a 26.6 acre parcel that is located north of
West LaPorte Avenue, west of Taft Hill Road in the City of Fort Collins. The site is proposed for 50
single-family dwelling units and 62 duplex units.
Review Criteria:
Larimer County appreciates the opportunity to review this project, and recognizes that this project is
different than a project subject to Larimer County regulations. Many of the recommendations stated
below are based on issues and concerns that commonly arise with similar projects in the County. We
have requested information and made recommendations that we feel are essential to this project and its
impacts to the site and surrounding areas.
General Site Comments:
1. This department recommends that Sanctuary West Subdivision receives approval from the New
Mercer Canal Company with regard to the proposed grading and storm system improvements
adjacent to the ditch.
2. Care should be taken to insure that any historically south and east flowing drainage from the Green
Acres development onto this project is not bermed or impounded by proposed grading in the on site
detention ponds. Historic drainage paths must be preserved.
3. In the Sanctuary West Floodplain Modeling Report, several typos were noticed in tables 3-6 through
3-12. Please check these tables and revise where needed.
4. In the Sanctuary West Floodplain Modeling Report, Tables 3-11 and 3-12 indicate a 0.6 foot rise in
the floodway delineation. Larimer County (and I believe the City of Fort Collins) regulates a 0.50
foot floodway, please revise as needed.
5. In the Sanctuary West Floodplain Modeling Report appendices, the 'floodway delineation
information was provided for the existing condition and the floodplain delineation information was
provided for the duplicate effective and proposed conditions. As a result no direct comparison of
