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. boa 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 add two ces on the west side. The addition of these t spaces would exceed requirements of two 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.

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.
