Linden Ridge 1st Filing, County Referral - #21-93
April 26, 1993 P & Z Meeting
Page 3
3. Design:
All of the proposed lots exceed the minimum required lot size of
100,000 square feet (or 2.3 acres). Access to the site is from
County Road 48, via Linden View Drive, a local street. All of the
proposed lots are farther than 660' from a single point of access.
A second point of access, which is a 20' wide private drive
connecting this site with County Road 3, has been identified on the
proposed plat. This second point of access is considered to be
temporary until the second phase of Linden Ridge, located to the
east of this site, is developed. There are some questions as to
whether this access meets the intent of providing a second point of
access and is acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority. Therefore,
staff is recommending a condition that a permanent second point of
access, acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority, be secured and
constructed with an all weather surface capable of supporting
emergency service vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the underlying zoning
and appears to provide a reasonable transition between the Urban
Growth Area and the agricultural areas to the east. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of Linden Ridge 1st Filing, Preliminary,
#21-93, with the condition that a permanent second point of access,
acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority, be secured and constructed
with an all weather surface capable of supporting emergency service
vehicles.

COMMENTS
1. Background•
Filing, County Referral - #21-93
& Z Meeting
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: FA-1; existing homes (exemption lots), vacant (approved
Dakota Heights, Trappers Point)
S: FA-1; undeveloped
E: FA-1; existing homes (exemption lots)
W: FA-1; undeveloped
This site was a part of the Linden Ridge Minor Residential
Development (MRD). Any further development proposals would
therefore, have to occur via the subdivision process.
This site is the first phase of the Linden Ridge Master Plan, which
consists of 19 single family lots. Phase 2 is located to the east
and is bordered by County Roads 3 and 48.
2. Land Use•
The proposed site is located 3/4 mile east of the Urban Growth Area
boundary. This proposal consists of a subdivision request for
eight single family lots on 28.61 acres. The site is within the
area designated for "rural" land uses on the Larimer County Land
Use Plan. Rural areas are intended to "provide protection for
agricultural uses and other low intensity uses requiring large land
area and low service needs. All uses should be related to
agriculture or other uses requiring large land areas and should be
low -intensity uses which do not require urban -level services."
The proposed subdivision request does not represent a rural use of
this site and therefore, is not consistent with the County's
Comprehensive Plan; however, the proposal is consistent with the
underlying FA-1 Farming Zoning (which requires a minimum 100,000
square foot lot size) and does appear to provide a reasonable
transition from the expected urban land uses and densities of the
Urban Growth Area, to the agricultural areas to the east.
A court ruling several years ago determined that Larimer County
could not deny a land use on the basis of the use being
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, if the underlying zoning
supported the proposed land use. Therefore, the focus for Larimer
County land use decisions has been on consistency with the
underlying zoning. Unless the County rezones property to be
consistent with the land use designations in the Comprehensive
Plan, this dilemma will persist.
