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.
