additional parking is more essential than the landscaping. Please
consider a special exception for this parking space.
If the landscape strip is essential for the P.U.D. approval the attached
P1 landscape plan will describe the details for that area and it will be
implemented.

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL PARKING:
4/
Option 1: W1 this
option
an ment agreement will need to be
obtained from Bill
er of the State Farm property,
to share
access off of E. Dra
o
e west side of the property is accessible.
The Eskins wil en

spaces for
every t ree employees
and
two spaces a two bedroom
apartment.
Option 2: If option one is not obtainable two spaces will be added to
the east side. The addition of the two spaces will also be sufficient to
exceed the requirements of two spaces for every three employees
and two spaces for the upstairs two bedroom apartment.
ARCHITECTURE: No modifications to the exterior of the existing
structure are proposed.
PROPOSED LANDSCAPING: The strip of landscaping along E. Drake Rd.
has been destroyed with the expansion of Drake. This strip will be
re -landscaped by either the Eskins or the City of Ft. Collins this will
be determined with the settlement agreement. See the landscape
plan provided by the City of Ft. Collins.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Since the expansion of Drake has
been introduce the neighbors have expressed their support to the
Eskins and their project. There was no opposition at the Preliminary
P.U.D.
The Eskin property abuts commercial to the west and is on a heavily
traveled corner (E. Drake & Harvard). The property is no longer
conforming since the expansion of Drake has violated city set back
requirements.

PROJECT: Eskin P.U.D. Final Application
APPLICANT: Avram and Belinda Eskin
123 E. Drake Rd.
Ft. Collins, CO 80525
OWNERS: Same as applicant
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This request would allow the Eskins to move out of the second floor
apartment of the existing single family residence with a home
occupation on the first floor; keep the first floor as office and have
the second floor apartment as a rental. No exterior alterations are
proposed. The property is located on the southwest corner of E.
Drake and Harvard and is zoned R-L but abuts to commercial.
PURPOSE OF PROJECT:
The Eskins would like to keep their business in this location since
they are well established and have had their business here for ten
years. They would like the freedom to move out of the residence
since Drake Rd. traffic has increased significantly and the street was
expanded recently and is now only seven feet from their front
entrance.
EXISTING PARKING: There are now six off street parking spaces and
two on street spaces, located directly in front of the east side of the
property, for a total of eight spaces.
There is a vehicle backing conflict for the two spaces below the
second story overhang (carport area); these spaces will be used as
long term employee parking only so that the backing conflict will not
be an issue.
The space on the far east, labeled as P1 on the plans, borders the
Harvard sidewalk. The Eskins understand that this is a non-
conforming parking space because there is no landscaping strip.
They would like this space to be considered and left intact since
parking spaces in this location seem to be more important, to the
neighborhood, then the landscaping strip. Also this has been a legal
space since the construction of the parking lot in 1978. They feel the
