Dear Resident
On Tuesday, September 3, 2001, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Edora Pool Ice Center', 1801 Riverside,
the City of Fort Collins Planning Department will hold a neighborhood information meeting to discuss a
development proposal in your neighborhood. The project is known as Mansion Park, Project
Development Plan (PDP).
Mansion Park PDP is a proposed site specific development for 48 acres of the site previously approved in
February 2001 as Spring Creek Farm Overall Development Plan (ODP). The ODP approval set the types
of dwelling units permitted, and the amount of dwelling units that are permitted on the site as well as such
things as locations of local streets intersections with the adjacent arterial roadways, and general drainage
plans. The site is located at the northwest corner of Drake Road and Timberline Road, and directly east
across the Union Pacific railroad tracks from the Parkwood East Neighborhood. The applicant proposes
77 single family detached residential lots, 136 residential dwelling units in 4-plex and 6-plex buildings, and
388 multifamily condominium dwelling units as part of this PDP. At the PDP level of review, all detailed
development plans for lots, streets, and multifamily buildings are reviewed for compliance with the Land
Use Code and applicable engineering standards. The neighborhood meeting is required to be conducted
for this site before the applicant is permitted to submit their formal PDP application for review.
What can you expect from attending the neighborhood meeting? The purpose of a neighborhood
meeting is to open a line of communication between the applicant and the neighbors. This is the forum
through which the neighbors can express their concerns, City staff can explain the development review
process, and the applicant can explain to the neighbors what they are intending to do with the project and
answer questions from the neighbors. Meeting notes are taken by City staff, and become part of the
project file. Neighborhood meetings are typically scheduled early in the project, before any design
decisions have been finalized so the flexibility still exists for the input of neighbors to perhaps be
integrated into the project.
Why did you receive notice of this meeting? Reasonable efforts have been taken to invite property
owners of record within 1000 feet of the site. A list of property owners was derived from official records of
the Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and record keeping, or
because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed. Please feel free to
notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity to attend. If you are
unable to attend this meeting, written comments are welcome.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call our office at 970-221-6750.
