RE: Planning Objectives
Troutman Office Park P.U.D.
JFK Parkway and Troutman Parkway
Fort Collins, Colorado
Project No. 9632
Dear Planning and Zoning Board:
The following planning objectives have been used in the site design of Troutman Office Park P.U.D.:
1. This project is in conformance with the applicable policies, goals, and objectives as
defined by the City of Fort Collins and the original Market Place P.U.D. The project
site is located at the southeast corner of JFK Parkway and Troutman Parkway. The
land is presently vacant. The property is surrounded by the Market Place development
to the north and west, the Pederson Toyota Building to the south and vacant land to
the east. The site is totally within the existing Fort Collins city limits, and would be
serviced from existing utility mains. The major points of access to the site will be from
the existing service drive with curb cuts presently on JFK Parkway and Troutman
Parkway, providing convenient direct access from surrounding commercial and
residential areas. The site is adjacent to existing public transportation routes as well.
Planning for the office building has taken into account the surrounding projects and
pedestrian connections to them will be maintained. Building materials and colors are
compatible with the Market Place development. The blue accent color used at the
center will be carried over to site amenities such as light fixtures, bike racks, benches,
trash containers, tubular steel and miscellaneous exposed metal surfaces. Landscaping
and berming will be used at the base of the building as well as to highlight the entry.
Masonry screen walls to match the Market Place will be used to screen parking and
electrical transformer.
2. The office building will be owner -occupied. The owners will maintain all parking,
landscaping and circulation areas on the site at all times.
3. It is estimated that approximately 50 persons would be served by this office building
as employees or clients.
4. Assumptions and choices made by the applicant include:
• Access: Vehicular access is from the existing service drive for the Market Place
which will require no new curb cuts along JFK Parkway or Troutman Parkway.
• Building orientation: The building is placed to the front of the lot to relate
primarily to the streets. The sidewalk to the entry courtyard of the building, on
the interior of the site, has direct linkage to the public sidewalk without
crossing drives or parking.
Parking: Parking has been placed behind the building to screen it from the
street and also acts as a buffer between the building and the service areas at
the Market Place. Parking rows have a landscaped island at each end and
landscaped screening between them and the service drive.
• Design: The office building incorporates many of the design elements used in
the Market Place development with some added features to set it apart as an
office rather than a retail space. Troutman Office Park will utilize concrete
block masonry as the main material, will have a flat roof on most of the
building, and a gable roof through the center highlighting the entry and the
street facade.
5. The project has no areas of land use conflicts as the site is bounded on two sides by
arterial streets and on two sides by the Market Place Shopping Center. The project
requires no new curb cuts on either street for access. Parking will be screened by the
building and with landscaping.
6. Energy Conservation: Major areas of storefront glass are oriented towards the south
with wide overhangs, thereby minimizing as much as possible daytime solar heating
loads on the buildings. In addition, all storefront glass and windows will be insulated.
Walls will be constructed of concrete block, and will be insulated. Roofs will have R-
30 insulation. High efficiency lighting and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
units will be utilized.
7. Development Schedule: Construction is expected to begin immediately upon City
approval, and take approximately 6 months to complete. Construction of any required
public improvements will be accomplished concurrently with the construction process.
Thank you for your consideration of the proposed Troutman Office Park.
Sincerely,
ALLER•LINGLE ARCHITECTS P.C.
