Comma -lity Planning and Environmental gervices Current nning City of Fort Collins November 3, 1995 Linda Ripley Ripley and Associates 223 Jefferson Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Linda: At Michelle's request, I have enclosed a copy of the four conditions of Preliminary P.U.D. approval for Prospect Park as stated in the Staff Report dated June 26, 1995. In addition to the four conditions of approval stated in the Staff Report, the Planning and Zoning Board added one condition and a request in consideration of the Final P.U.D. These are as follows: 5. The applicant is encouraged to increase the "pedestrian friendliness'' of the Payless building. Since this building is close to the intersection, it should feature an architectural character that is more pleasing to view from the intersection. Features such as display windows and additional entries should be considered. Please refer to the Design Standards and Guidelines for Large Retail Establishments for further ideas. Enhanced architectural details will be evaluated by All Development Criterion A-2.7 at the time of Final P.U.D. 6. It is requested that the applicant investigate and evaluate the impact of providing the traditional formal row of deciduous shade trees along the Prospect Road and Shields Street frontages. It may be more in the public interest to preserve a view of Long's Peak at this intersection by maintaining an open vista or view corridor rather than to close the view off with shade trees. It may be that the view of the mountains may be enhanced by removing two shade trees. This request is not meant to be a condition of approval but is offered as a non -binding suggestion. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these five conditions of approval and one request. Sincerely: Ted Shepard file #21-95 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
