HomeMy WebLinkAboutMOUNTAIN'S EDGE (FORMERLY 2430 OVERLAND TRAIL - RESIDENTIAL) - PDP - PDP160045 - CORRESPONDENCE - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING• 1. Since the developer (Jeff) offered to pay for speed bumps, please have them added on Yorkshire
(Drake to Stuart) and Bluegrass.
2. Can you please plant large evergreen trees at the site's NE corner for our privacy? We are in the
sight line for a long row of condos, and large evergreens in that corner would help.
• This is a terrible project for this location. It places too many people in an area not suited for the
additional traffic. High density dwellings are not appropriate. Bluegrass should not be a thru street.
The corner of Drake/Overland is already an awful, dangerous intersection. No development should
take place until it is improved. There are no schools, businesses anywhere over here —forcing
everyone to commute by car. Currently there is no bus service.

• 1. How is this "affordable" housing? I thought a priority of L-M-D was for it to be affordable?
2. PLEASE put a buffer of land along the eastern boundary! We are losing value on our home due to
the loss of our view. Our quality of life will go down due to this development, by developers who DO
NOT live here!
3. Traffic from this will be a nightmare!
4. 1 would like to see a decrease in density, OR, a development that is designed to be affordable for
single families.

• Appreciate the meeting and the opportunity to ask questions. The developer reps were very polite
and knowledgeable.
Would like the City to address 4 lanes of traffic on Overland and put a stop sign or 20 mph speed
limit on the southbound portion of Overland. There is zero visibility when turning N. off Drake.
Thanks!

Nice Job. Nice format. Add microphones. O

Too many people create more problems than you can handle. I see this becoming a high density
area that will create problems! I.E. Police
Proposed project does not continue the neighborhoods adjacent. The overall density of project is
too high for area. The buildings are not guaranteed homeowners and will be rentals which will take
away quality of life as well as property values. These properties will not help the middle-class
population to buy homes vs renting as the prices of home ownership is still too high. Traffic is a huge
issue to consider. Height of townhomes is also an issue — why block view of Horsetooth? I'd rather
pay extra taxes than have this development.

This project (Mountain's Edge) will destroy part of Fort Collins' identity and character. It will be a
shame to see this type of project with its high density so close to our best resource, the reservoir
There are major issues regarding traffic and drainage mitigation that will greatly reduce the quality
of living for current Brown's Farm residents and future residents of the project. Developer's greed
should be stopped, especially on a corner that is so iconic for our city.

• From the meeting:
o #1 concern —Traffic and parking
o #1 overlooked (by developer) —The Drive -Inn they're way underestimating the effect.

• Density will cause huge traffic problems. Especially on Yorkshire and Bluegrass St. I already can
barely get out of my driveway now. The new development will add 800+ trips a day in that area.

• The amount of increased traffic down Bluegrass onto Yorkshire will be huge. The traffic study
mentions >800 trips will be into this neighborhood. I guarantee a majority of this traffic will filter
onto Yorkshire. There has to be a better alternative to enter the neighborhood. Parking is also a
huge issue when owners have more than 2 cars. The density is way too big.
