Project Description: Request to add a single story, 12,000 square foot
radiation oncology center and a 1,200 square foot
medical oncology addition to the South Campus of
Poudre Valley Hospital. The site is 25.6 acres in size
and located at the southeast corner of Timberline
Road and Harmony Road. The parcel is zoned HC —
Harmony Corridor.
Recommendation: Approval
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence:
No presentation was requested.
Public Comment:
The citizen asked that Timberwood Drive be extended as soon as possible. Her
development had only one access. She also requested lighting and fencing between the
hospital and her neighborhood.
Discussion:
Bob Blanchard responded that at the time of the original PDP review, Timberwood was
planned to go through upon building of the second phase of the Hospital. He said that
the fencing and lighting would be addressed during the phases of the project that would
be closer to the neighborhood.
Member Craig asked how many pieces of the first phase could come in before
Timberwood would be put through.
Eric Bracke responded that they tried to get Timberwood constructed during the first
phase, but the hospital traffic did not impact the intersection. It was the neighborhood
that had the most problems. The hospital traffic was accommodated with the current
construction of Timberwood and the Snow Mesa exit. The neighborhood had unique
problems with only one access. The City couldn't require the hospital to make that
connection, because the hospital was not the development that would add the traffic.
Member Craig asked what the level of service was at Corbett Drive.
