Denver • FT. COLLINS RE: Collindale Golf Course Variance Request
Dear Mr. Virata:
Structural Engineering We are writing this letter on behalf of the City of Fort Collins Golf Course Department. We
are requesting a variance regarding the improvements for the City of Fort Collins Collindale
Golf Course. As per section 19.3 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, the
Civil Engineering minimum off-street parking setback shall be 50' from an arterial street measured from flowline
to flowline. The improvements proposed for the site place the minimum off-street parking
Analytical Consulting setback at 28.7'. Therefore, a variance concerning this issue is required.
Architectural Engineering The golf course has an existing off-street parking setback of 15.4', so by moving the proposed
parking back an additional 13.3' from Horsetooth Road, the proposed improvements are
making an existing condition better. Sight triangle easements are shown on the plans to
create a safer exit onto Horsetooth Road from both parking lot entrances.
The alternative to obtaining a variance is to make the parking lot conform to the setback
requirement by shifting the parking lot and drives southward. It should be noted that this
alternative would push both the building and parking southward and would encroach onto the
golf course playing area.
In conclusion, the proposed improvements for the Collindale Golf Course are designed to
provide a safe and cost effective project for the City of Fort Collins. We feel that granting the
project a variance on the minimum off-street parking distance is justifiable.
If you have any questions, please contact either Bryan Clerico or myself.
Sincerely,
S. A. Mi7�nc.
