302 NORTH MELDRUM
FORT COLLINS, CO
Design objective:
The purpose of this landscape is to enhance the exterior of the existing building and to
bring it into compliance with current ADA standards and city code. It shall provide visual
relief from the hard edges of the building and the parking lot. It can also provide a space
for the current tenants to gather in an outdoor setting. The landscaped area will also help
mitigate stormwater runoff. The interior parking lot has 3 parking spaces, including one
handicap space. According to Section 3.2.2M(1), in the Fort Collins Land Use Code, 6%
interior landscape coverage is not required.
The streetscape uses small street trees to allow for mature growth under existing utilities.
Shrubs that obtain a mature growth of three to four feet provide for additional screening
and help to break the monotony of a long linear space. Cobble or washed rock is used as
a mulch in this area and will conserve water. The plants in this landscape were chosen
for their tolerance to low water. The remaining area between the walk and the parking lot
will mostly consist of turf.

Project No. 0900-041
Dear Mr. Olt,
This is a resubmittal for a change in use on the property at 302 North Meldrum Street
from the Eagles Service Club to Custom Tabs & Specialties (a light industrial use). The
comments from the separate City departments have been addressed and we believe that
the Code requirements have been met, and that the improvements will provide workable
drainage along with an improved aesthetic look to the site. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
