attention, then special precautions have been implemented into the plan to prevent the creation
of Environmental influences adverse to_the preservation of these areas."
Planner Clark added the City's Natural Resources Division is one of the referral agencies and
staff works closely with them on proposals. When Natural Resources staff reviews a project
with concerns from a wildlife standpoint, the plans are referred on to the Colorado Division of
Wildlife and would give written concerns. At this point, staff relies on the fact that concerns
were not raised by the Natural Resources Department staff. Staff will revisit the proposal with
Natural Resources and Colorado Division of Wildlife prior to being submitted to the Board.
Member Walker commented the ODP meets many of requirements of the Comprehensive Plan
for development on Harmony. • The elements are appropriate and useful and compatibility is
good. The housing mix is favorable for the area and affordable housing is good for Fort
Collins' need. It was his judgment with regard to wildlife winter feeding grounds and there will
always be some change in the wildlife habitat. The wildlife concerned tend to be opportunistic
in their feeding habits and he would guess the detention area would be a resting area for the
birds.
Member Walker moved to approve the Harmony Village PUD - Overall Development Plan,
_ including the condition of removing the single-family statement on the ODP.
Member Fontane seconded the motion.
Motion passed 5-0.
HARMONY CROSSING PUD - PRELrYUNNARY - #65-93A
Member Fontane moved for approval of the Harmony Crossing PUD - Preliminary with
the condition stated in the staff report.
Member Walker seconded the motion.
Member Cottier echoed Member Walker's comments concerning the importance of adding this
type of housing to housing. options as a whole not just to the south. _It is also in to note
what can be done with just 4,5W feet relative to the east side and west side. Maybe some TDRs
-could start.
Member Walker commented on the detention area treatment and it has been done very well. He
commended the developer for making creative use of it as a multi -use area. As a Board member
would like to encourage the Storm Drainage staff to view this as an asset during closer review.
It is an excellent model for other proposed detention areas.
Motion carried 5-0.
