Q: Flooding hasn't been an issue in the area - how does this development
handle stormwater flows?
A: 5tormwater detention is provided on -site near the front of the property.
Comment: The City purchases open space - this property provides free open
space.
Comment: Fort Collins is growing; traffic on S. Taft Hill Rd. is increasing.
Comment: The primary reason to have this neighborhood meeting (based on
P&Z discussion) was ensure 'conformity' to the surrounding area.
Q: What is 'reasonable' development on the site?
A: (From developer) - this development adds value.
Comment: This project does not fit the neighborhood visually, economically,
or with respect to traffic impacts.
Comment: (From developer) - Units need to be affordable and deed
restricted as such.
Comment: Replace building #4 with a playground/gardens or another open
space. Other parts of the lot may be appropriate for an open space area (i.e.,
south side or near the center of the property).
A poll was taken at the meeting and neighbors suggested a maximum density
of 15 dwelling units for the property. Seven people voted in favor of the 15
dwelling units.
Q: Why all build all 2-bedroom units? Couldn't they be 3 bedroom units?
That could reduce the number of units to a level acceptable to the
neighborhood.

of the lots fronting S. Taft Hill Po. from development.
Q: Could stormwater flows go toward the ditch?
A: No, the flows are controlled by the ditch company.
