Dear Resident:
January 31, 2003
On Thursday, February 13, 2003, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., at the Plymouth Congregational
Church, 916 West Prospect Road, the City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department
will conduct a neighborhood information meeting to discuss two development proposals
in your neighborhood. The first project is referred to as the New South C.S.U.
Dormitory. The second project is referred to as the Relocated C.S.U. Challenge Ropes
Course.
The New South C.S.U. Dormitory would be processed as a Site Plan Advisory Review
for advisory consideration by the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board. The
dorm would house 700 students in 175 two -room suites each suite having the capacity of
four persons. The building would be a combination of three and four stories in height.
There would be parking for about 200 cars. There would be no food services. The site is
4.7 acres located on the south side of West Pitkin Street just south of Edwards Hall on the
property that is presently the C.S.U. Challenge Ropes Course.
The C.S.U. Challenge Ropes Course would, in turn, be relocated to a parcel located
within the Centre For Advanced Technology just south of the Married Student Housing
on the west side of Centre Avenue. Parking would be available on a paved area north of
the site. The course would be surrounded by an eight -foot high chain link fence. Gates
would be locked when the course is not in use. The highest structure is 53 feet above
ground, the next is 35 feet high and all others are 15 feet high. The conifers immediately
west of the site and the gardens will remain. This project is considered a private
development under the full authority of the City's Land Use Code.
The project manager for these two proposals is Mr. Greg Smith, C.S.U. Facilities
Department, who will be on hand to discuss the details in depth. Since this letter is
mailed to property owners only, please feel free to notify your neighbors who may be
renting. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the meeting where I will be
introducing a new City Planner, Bob Barkeen, who will be the City's project planner for
these two items.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner
