APPLICANT.- Symbios Logic and Everitt Companies
CONSULTANT.- Bruce Hendy
STAFF.- Mike Ludwig
The applicant proposes an Overall Development Plan for 100 acres of land located on the north side
of Harmony Road, west of County Road 9. The applicant intends to submit a Phase 1 Preliminary
P.U.D. for approximately 15 acres of the property for Symbios Logic's corporate headquarters.
Phase one will consist of an approximately 115,000 square foot, 3-story office building with 370 to
400 parking spaces.
Questions, Concerns, Comments:
It appears that the alignment of Corbett Drive is different than where it was shown on the
English Ranch South Overall Development Plan?
A. We are proposing to move the connection to the east slightly (approximately 300 feet). The
current alignment on the English Ranch South O.D.P. would cause approximately 15 acres
of Symbios land to be undevelopable. Corbett Drive will not be a "straight shot" alignment
with Kingsley Drive.
2. What about using "sharp" turns?
A. It's possible. We will look at alternate designs.
It's a little frustrating to go through one Planning and Zoning meeting and then 2 months later
we're at the same point (regarding the alignment of Corbett Drive).
A. Staff is aware of neighborhood concerns regarding the alignment of Corbett Drive. The
developer of English Ranch South was required to show a connection from their property to
the south (Symbios property) on the Overall Development Plan. However, their choice of
alignment impacts Symbios Logic's use of their own property. Corbett Drive will still be off-
set from Kingsley Drive so that it won't be a straight shot. No decision has been made
regarding the proposed change to the alignment. The Planning and Zoning Board will have
to decide.
4. Will Symbios have chemical trucks going through the residential neighborhood to the north?
A. No. Symbios truck traffic will use their own entrances off either County Road 9 or Harmony
Road.
5. Our concern is the city and our trust level.
6. How many feet to the east of its currently proposed location, does Symbios plan to move the
Corbett connection to English Ranch South? -
A. Approximately 300 feet.
7. We don't want traffic on residential streets.
8. My concern is Kentford. There are many kids there.
A. Kentford does not go all the way through the proposed English Ranch South development.
9. We have grave concern that Corbett and Kingsley will be a straight shot. Every time we feel
secure, things change.
A. Your concern is understood. We have to provide connections. We will seek alternatives that
will prevent Corbett/Kingsley from being a straight shot.
10. Two years ago Kingsley was supposed to straight down. Now two years later it's changed.
A. It was changed in response to neighborhood concerns. People will have to stop at stop signs
at intersections and change directions several times in order to go from Harmony to
Horsetooth.
11. What's the projected employment for Symbios?
A. The first building will accommodate approximately 430 employees. This includes existing
employees who will relocate from other sites in Fort Collins and a growth of 50-100 people.
A similar Phase 2 building would accommodate another 430 employees. Phases 3 and 4
would be manufacturing/testing facilities.
12. Has English Ranch South been approved yet?.
A. Phase 1 has been approved.
13. Do you know who will go in west of Symbios?
FREMORVI
14. I think we're excited that Symbios will be there if they're anywhere as good of neighbors as
H-P is.
