RE: Ed Carroll Expansion
Project Development Plan/Final Plan
Dear Troy:

On behalf of Ed Carroll Motors, Jim Sell Design Inc. is submitting the Project
Development Plan/Final Plan for the expansion of the existing parking lot for review by
the City of Fort Collins. The site is located adjacent to the north property line of the
existing Ed Carroll Motors site, and is bordered on the east by Commercial Development,
on the West by McClelland Dr., and on the North by an Office development.
The proposed parking lot is designed to allow traffic to enter the site either from the
existing lot to the south or McClelland via the access drive, which also allows access to
the adjacent development to the east. Sidewalks and bike lanes exist adjacent to the site
along McClelland. Pedestrian access to the existing Car Dealership Showrooms is easily
accommodated from the existing sidewalks along the College Ave. frontage road and
Swallow. This project will provide an eight -foot pedestrian access along the north side of
the access drive, to allow pedestrian connections from McClelland to the retail area east
and office area north of the project site. There are two existing bus stop locations within
approximately six hundred feet of the proposed site. The bus stops are located on either
side of College Ave. at the corner of Swallow Rd. With the proposed use of this site, as a
car dealership auto storage lot (both new and used cars for sale), we fell the design allows
vehicular traffic circulation with a minimum of conflict with pedestrianibike traffic.
Street trees planted within the parkway strip, as well as the parking lot islands will buffer
and enhance the parking lot. The tree placement, as well as the light placement and light
type, will help buffer the light pollution with regards to the neighboring areas (see
attached alternate compliance). The property owner will maintain the turf areas. We feel
the parking lot expansion meets all the requirements of the Land Use Code, and achieves
the following City Plan Principles and Policies:
Principle LU-1: Growth within the city will promote a compact development
pattern within a well-defined boundary.
