Fort Collins, CO 80526
Statement of Planning Objectives
This site is located on south Taft Hill Road just north of the intersection of Taft Hill Road and
Sheffield Drive and across the street from Blevins Middle School. The site is zoned R-L, Low
Density Residential and abuts Taft Hill Road which is a 4 lane arterial. On the west side of the
site, there is an existing 7' sidewalk that transitions to 5' at the south end with a small parkway
separating it from the road. Just east of the existing walk is the existing residence and garage,
which will be evaluated for individual eligibility for Landmark designation.
Site Design
Access to the proposed development will be provided via private drive off of Taft Hill Road,
south of the existing residence and garage. The site will be platted to include 8 lots, with the
existing residence becoming Lot 1.
The total site area proposed for the plat is 2.35 acres consisting of 8 single family detached
residential lots with approximately 16% of the area being open space. The existing parkway and
ROW will be enhanced with street trees, new sod and planting beds at the entrance. Native
seed and low water use trees and shrubs will be planted along the edges of the pond to buffer
the views of the retaining walls in the pond as well as the adjacent residences to the south. The
overall site and landscape design integrates well with the other single family developments that
border the north, east and south property lines.
A home owner's association will be created to own and maintain the private drive and open
space areas. The architecture shall have a traditional style with durable and low maintenance
finishes that will provide a cohesive aesthetic and fit into the overall context of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
