Jason,
I am emailing in response to a Public Hearing Notice regarding the proposed Geico Office Building Project
located at 2024 East Harmony Road.
I am the owner of Lot I of Harmony Village located at 4609 S. Timberline Road which fronts Harmony Road
and has a direct line of sight to the proposed development.
I am opposed to the request for modification of the Harmony Road Setback Zone from 80 feet to 27 feet
I feel that if this setback modification were to be granted, it would have a negative visual impact on the
Harmony Corridor. As, I am sure you are aware, the City of Fort Collins recently invested a significant amount
of money on improvements of the Harmony Road Corridor in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
development, many of which were aesthetic in nature.
Of much greater importance, is the potential negative impacts the setback modification would have on the
safety aspects of an intersection that currently has a high rate of motor vehicle and auto -pedestrian accidents.
In addition, any further widening of the Harmony corridor would be negatively impacted by a setback of 27 feet
I would strongly encourage the City of Fort Collins to deny the developer's request to modify the Harmony
Road Setback Zone.
Sincerely,
David B. Thurgood, DDS, MS
Owner, Lot 113, Harmony Village
