Dear Neighbor:
Houaln6 and Food Services
Fort Collins, Colorado 80523
(303) 491.6311
This letter is being sent to all neighboring property owners and residents
near the Colorado State University land commonly known as the former "bull
farm" properties.
In recent months, University officials have been developing a plan which
will help alleviate the severe housing shortage in the Fort Collins area
with an addition to the University Village complex. Our student
population has changed dramatically over the last several years to include
more married students with families and older graduate students. We have
found a pressing need in constructing more apartments to house this
fastest -growing segment of the University population to supplement what is
available in the private sector.
A second public meeting is scheduled to present the design development
stage.of the planning process completed to date by University staff, the
City of Fort Collins planning staff and Aller-Lingle architects. The
design presentation will include the site layouts, overall building
designs and general details of the development to provide 118 apartments
on the southeast site at City Park Avenue and Elizabeth Street and 80
apartments on the northwest site east of Skyline Drive and north of the
Rams Village apartments.
The meeting to present these plans is_ scheduled for the evening of
Wednesday, June 30, 1993 in the Ingersoll Hall cafeteria. Ingersoll Hall
is conveniently located on Shields Street at South Drive with ample free
parking immediately adjacent to the front entrance on the west side of the
building.
Representatives from the University, City and architectural planning
staffs will be at the meeting to present these plans and answer questions.
We are interested in receiving citizen input into the planning process and
welcome your participation. We would like to invite you to mark your
calendars for that date and welcome your participation.
Sincerely,
Michael J. McCormick
