Dear Mr. Hanson,
On Monday, June 27, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort
Collins, conducted a hearing on the site development plan of the proposed 1990
Junior High School. This review was conducted under the provisions of C.R.S.
31-23-209 and C.R.S. 22-32-124. These Statutes extend to the City the right of
review, comment and to make findings of fact as to the location, character and
extent of the proposed junior high school relative to the adopted Master Plan
of the City.
After considering the facts and testimony, the Planning and Zoning Board
stated that the location of the school was appropriate. However, the Board
expressed grave concern that the impacts of the school at this location had not
been satisfactorily addressed in the site development plan. The Board's
findings were that there would not be adequate access, off -site street improve-
ments or sidewalks to accomodate the proposed level of pedestrian and vehicu-
lar activity generated by a junior high school. In accordance with State
Statutes, the Planning and Zoning Board requests that a public hearing on the
matter be held by the Board of Education.
Copies of the minutes of the June meeting and Staff Report are attached
which elucidate the comments and concerns of the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Planning and Zoning Board would like to meet with the Board of Educa-
tion to discuss and resolve these important issues. Please let me know when this
hearing may be scheduled. Thank you for your prompt attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Tom Peterson
Planning Director
