RE: Mulberry PUD Alley Easement and Setback Variance
Dear Marc Virata,
An alley easement and setback variance is requested for alleys within the Mulberry PUD
masterplan site. The variance requested is to use the alley sections as specified in the Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) and shown within figures 7-11F and 7-12F with modifications
to the easement and setback requirements. The standard requirement is an 8’ easement with an 8’
setback that matches the utility easement. The variance request is to have the setback equal to the
utility easement size with the remainder of the setbacks (side and front) as per the PUD table. The
easement variance is to remove the utility easement in the areas that do not have dry utilities adjacent
to the alley and in the cases where the dry utilities are adjacent to the alley the easement is to be
reduced to 6’.
The justification for this variance is the density and product styles to meet the affordability aspect
proposed with the project and the ability to move the utility corridors (both dry and wet utilities) to
efficiently serve various product types and configuration as coordinated with the utility providers. The
reduction to 6’ is to discourage parallel parking within the alleys and the potential blockage of fire
services.
Sincerely,
GALLOWAY
