(Residence 223-5809)
Our property is located adjacent to the entire southern boundary of the proposed subdivision.
We have several concerns regarding the appropriate timing and successful development of
the proposed subdivision, and the compatibility of the proposed residential use and density
with our established business.
We request that the City of Fort Collins deny the application for the proposed Lindemer
Subdivision based on the following facts:
1. The property is not suitable for current development use due to its isolation and lack of
access to the master planned sanitary sewer utility for the area. The Warren Lake Trunk is
planned to extend southwest from its current stub -out on Birmingham to a future extension
across Horsetooth Road, and thereafter to a location in the proposed Seneca Right -of -Way.
Apparently a major portion of the Rossborough Subdivision is also planned to utilize the
Warren Lake Trunk, but is temporarily being diverted to the northeast.
Construction of the Lindemer Subdivision would be out of accordance with the sanitary
sewer master plan for the area, and would add additional flows to the previously temporary
re-routing of Rossborough flows. Construction of a dual system would be required,
requiring duplication of facilities, and increased operation and maintenance costs for the
system once the City assumes ownership.
2. Development of the proposed subdivision would add increased sewer flows to the
previously designated "temporary" situation of Rossborough flows crossing the Pleasant
Valley Lake and Canal ditch.
3. The density of the proposed development would be incompatible with the existing
conditions and established land uses of the area. Houses would potentially be constructed
within less than 10 feet of livestock use areas.
4. The proposed Lindemer project site is very small (probably less than 3 developable acres
after the ditch location is excluded) and should be developed to either complement and take
into consideration the existing land uses in the area (livestock/stables) or, if future land use
changes are encouraged and supported by the City, should wait for incorporation into a
larger, more comprehensive future land use plan. This would allow more efficient and cost
effective distribution and use of utilities and infrastructure, especially for transportation and
sanitary sewer facilities.
