Re: The variance request for modified driveway design for Canyon/Howes Mixed -use (AKA
Cortina)
Dear Ms. Kroetch,
This letter is in response to your request for a variance to the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards. The variance requested was for a modified driveway design for the driveway accessing the
underground parking off of Canyon Avenue. This variance has been approved by the City Engineer only
for this project and specifically as shown on the utility plans. One condition of the approval of this variance
is to re -include the cross-section of this driveway as shown on the previous round of review and to add
more detail to the driveway drawing on the detail sheet.
As with all variances to the -street standards, the variances granted for this project are based on the
particular situation under design and the judgment that we (the designer and the City) apply to determine
whether there is a public safety concern. The variances for this project in no way set any precedence for
relaxing these standards on other projects without complete analysis and justification.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
fa&ArV___
Katie Moore
Project Engineer
