COMMENTS:
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: R-C; Vacant
S: F-A-1, County; Vacant
E: R-C; Existing Wastewater Treatment Facilities
W: Not Zoned; C.S.U. Environmental Learning Center and State of Colorado Visitors Center
2. Plat Standards:
A. Section 3.3.1 [C] (1) - Public Sites, Reservations, and Dedications
The plat indicates proper dedications for drainage, utility and access easements as needed to
serve the 2.06-acre lot.
3. R-C Standards:
The plat has been reviewed against the criteria of the standards under Article Four of the Land
Use Code. The request to plat the 2.06 acre lot in order to create a legal lot for a new
maintenance building complies with the following standards:
A. Section 4.11(E)(1) — Street/Access
Access to the subdivision is by private drive, not a public street. The private drive will be
dedicated as an emergency access easement. The width of 20 feet has been reviewed by the
Poudre Fire Authority and is adequate for the provision of emergency services. The private drive
connects to an existing publicly dedicated access easement that, in turn, connects to the I-25
Frontage Road.
B. Section 4.11(E)(2)(3)(4) — Walkways, Trails and Paths; Building Design; Site Design
All of these standards relate to land development and building construction. These standards are
intended to ensure that new development minimizes the impacts upon the scenic, cultural, natural
and historic values of the river landscape. Since the request is for a subdivision plat only, and the
construction of the maintenance building will be reviewed by the Building Permit Review
Process, these standards do not apply.
