transact other business. This is not a convenient stop for east -bound Harmony Road traffic since the route
in and out is so circuitous. A large portion of business is expected to be from existing Safeway customers
who may now also enjoy the convenience of fueling their vehicle along with their food -shopping trip.
The impact of this facility on your community is very minimal. The Safeway and other buildings between
your community and this pad site buffer visual and sound impacts. Traffic impacts are also minimal.
To conclude, I am anxious to arrange the opportunity to review this proposal with your community and
look forward to a neighborhood meeting.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Dear Ms. Sullivan:

This letter is a response to your letter of October 8, 2000, to Mr. Ted Shepherd, Chief Planner of the City
of Fort Collins.
I would like to arrange a meeting for the members of your community at your convenience to explain the
project and answer questions that you have. If you would call me at 303-770-8884, I will arrange a
mutually agreeable time and place.
Meanwhile, I'd like to respond to your concerns. On the land use question, the Harmony -Safeway
Marketplace PUD provides for this use, and this pad was identified for this use since conceptual plans.
This is the only place along the Harmony Corridor that the use is allowed.
Safeway has a major nation-wide program underway to provide the convenience of fueling at their food
stores. We are currently working on 20 projects for Safeway. Their practice is to be very price _
competitive.
The convenience store will not be constructed initially. However, when it is constructed it will provide a
limited number of convenience items that are quickly available to the customer obtaining fuel, and saves
the time of driving over to the food store and spending much more time obtaining the few convenience
items.
We don't anticipate this fueling facility to be used by trucks since diesel fuel will not be dispensed at this
site. Large trucks use highway oriented facilities were the accommodation is made for the large rigs with
parking areas and fuel contracts. Farmers and ranchers tend to use their co-ops where the fuel costs are
lower. Truck traffic is a non -issue here.
This station may attract additional automobile traffic from west -bound Harmony Road traffic. Much of
that traffic will enter, turn directly into the station and exit directly back out to Harmony. Some of that
traffic will be attracted by other businesses in the center and will take advantage of the fueling stop to
