Re: Land Use Plan Provision Referencing Fire Lanes
1. As you requested, Steve, I have enclosed the language from FCLUC.
Accordingly, we had asked for a modification for this. I have discussed at
length with Poudre Fire Authority and also with Advance Planning, both of
whom I understand will support our modification for no red curbs
demarcation of fire lanes provided we put in signage satisfactory to
Poudre Fire Authority.
2. In reviewing the last submittal, if you have any questions, please give me
a call right away so I can respond.
3. 1 trust everything is in order and you can set it for P&Z ASAP. Thanks,
Steve.
