BOX 98 • FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522 • (303) 482-6312 April 26, 1996 Steve Olt Fort Collins Planning Dept. 281 North College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80524 RE: Traffic interaction between HARMONY RIDGE & shopping center to north. Steve, The owner of HARMONY RIDGE, and of the SHOPPING CENTER to the north of Harmony Ridge and my self have had a number of interactions in the past month an a half. All parties and myself met at Lee Stark's house first and tried to come to some solution satisfactory to both parties. This meeting concluded with a suggestion by me to try the following ( see enclosed plan ). The OLD HARMONY ROAD alignment and SENICA would mostly stay the same as 1 have shown in our recent submitted drawings. The use and intensity would change on OLD HARMONY ROAD. The intersection of OLD HARMONY and SENICA would almost totally be used as the SHOPPING CENTER ENTRANCE. OLD HARMONY ROAD west of the commercial area would only be used as an access to a trail head near the future closed intersection of OLD HARMONY and TAFT HILL RD. HARMONY RIDGE would only have access to the OLD HARMONY ROAD in one or two places as a fire access only. The advantages are numerous. First it would give almost an exclusive access to the SHOPPING CENTER. It would allow a more safe bike path and trail head access without traffic. This would give the residential neighbors bordering the road on the north a almost nonexistent amount of traffic to deal and a wide buffer between themselves and any buildings to the south. Of course it would allow HARMONY RIDGE the advantage of having a most ideally located fire access with maximum flexibility and no reduction in density in the interior of our project for a road not other wise needed except for a fire access. Also The City of Fort Collins, The neighbors to the north, The Shopping Center, and Harmony Ridge would not have the extensive expense of removal of a PERFECTLY good existing road. Presently I have not heard back form the SHOPPING CENTER owners on their feelings. I have deliver the enclosed plan to Dave Pietenpol and talked to him on the phone a couple of time since delivery to clarify some points on the drawings.
