develop our property that is currently in Larimer County, by
the way. (This answer came from the owner/developer of the
property to the north)
9. Question: Did you say that there has been a traffic study done already
for development on this property and, if so, may I see the
study?
Answer: Yes, a traffic study has been done and I will make it available
right now for you to look at.
10. Question: What is the required buffer to the Cooper Slough?

is 300'.

2. Question: So you are not certain about the collector street connection
across the railroad tracks at the northwest corner of your
site?
Answer: Yes, that is correct.
3. Comment: It appears as though you will have limited development
potential on Parcels A, D, and E (southwest of the railroad
tracks) without a railroad crossing at the northwest corner of
the site.
Response: Yes, that is correct.
4. Question: Are you coordinating with the proposed development to the
north regarding access points to and from your site? (This
question came from the owner/developer of the property to the
north)
Answer: Yes, we are.
S. Question: On the east boundary line of this property there is an
existing Boxelder Sanitation District sewer main line. Are
you not required to put your street on top of that line?
Answer: Our understanding is that we do not have to put the street
over the sewer line.
6. Question: Can you tell us about the storm drainage on your property?
Answer: We want all on -site drainage to go south and southeast to
the Cooper Slough. We also have to accommodate off -site
pass -through drainage from future development on the
Eastridge property to the west.
7. Question: What timeframe have you set for your development?
Answer: First, the development is market -driven. Second, there are
issues associated with the requirement in the City's Land
Use Code that our property have contiguity to existing urban
level development.

The applicants are proposing a residential project on the undeveloped Whitham
Property that is 160 acres in size. The proposal may consist of 680 to 1105
residential dwelling units (single family and multi -family dwelling units), a 3 to
5 acre neighborhood center site, and a small neighborhood park site. The
property is located on the south side of East Vine Drive approximately half way
between North Timberline Road and Interstate 25. The existing railroad tracks
run diagonally through the property from the northwest corner to the
southeast corner. The property is in the City of Fort Collins and is currently in
the T - Transition Zoning District; however, the applicant is planning on
submitting a rezoning request to place it in the LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood Zoning District.
................. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES .................
1. Question: What is the status of your proposed street crossings of the
existing railroad?
Answer: The proposed Greenfields Drive extension north to East Vine
Drive, bisecting this property, is to be a 2-lane arterial street
and will occur. The reality of the proposed 2-lane collector
street (Delozier Drive) along the west side of the property is
still uncertain because of the railroad's intent to limit at -
grade street crossings of their tracks.
