Re: Proposed Roadway Improvements — Southeast Corner of Lincoln and Lemay
Request for Variance B —Attached Walks
Proj : 170-04
Dear Ms. Moore:
The following is a request for variance from Figure 7-2F — 4-Lane Arterial Street Typical
Section in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October 2002". The ultimate
design of Lincoln Avenue will require a right turn lane which will widen the street to the north
adjacent to the Bank of Colorado site.
The proposed development. has a requirement to provide retention in the interim condition which
will convert to detention once a downstream outfall conveyance is provided. The retention
requirement increases the area that is dedicated to ponding. This creates a hardship and the
owner has requested that we pursue the following variance.
This variance is requested to allow 7' wide attached walks rather than the standard 6' detached
walks (shown on Figure 7-217). At the east edge -of the property, the walk would begin to
transition to a detached walk and would then meet the criteria.
Because of the increased width of the walk, it is not anticipated that this variance from the above
Standards will compromise the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any
that you may need for the approval of this variance.
