RE: Spring Court Subdivision —Fort Collins Muffler
Dear Mr. Steinbicker:
Staff has reviewed the submittal for the Spring Court Subdivision —Fort Col-
lins Muffler that was submitted on August 26, 1997, and would like to offer the
following comments.
1) Light and Power Utility offered the following comments:
a) The developer is encouraged to contact Light and Power Engineering
(221-6700) concerning the development charges that will apply to this
project.
b) It appears that modifications to the electric system will be necessary
(also at the developer's expense).
c) The 6' wide easement shown along the east property line must be
widened to encompass the electric line shown.
2) Comments from the Engineering Department are attached.
3) Comments from the Stormwater Utility are attached.
4) The Zoning Department offered the following comments:
✓' WOVYWIEN 4- a) It is necessary to assure adequate parking for vehicles awaiting serv-
3°�4W ices or completed vehicles. They should not be stored on the street.
b) The building cannot be more than 15' from the street R.O.W. (Johnson
Drive). My scale showed 16' on the site plan. (It looks as if the
R.O.W. line is in Johnson Drive.)
