Dear Mr. Sack:
Congratulations on receiving the bid from the G.S.A. for the Fish and Wildlife
Service Office Building in the Golden Meadows Business Park. It is my
understanding that your company has received a revocable building permit to
begin the above ground construction of the structural components.
As part of the I-P, Industrial Park, Site Plan Review for this project, the Planning
Department placed several notes on the approved Site Plan. One of these notes
pertained to the fencing of the wareyard. It was recognized by the City of Fort
Collins, at the time of the bidding process, that the G.S.A. specification called for
chainlink fencing. To specify otherwise would have jeopardized the bid.
It was communicated to your firm at the time of the I-P Site Plan review, that
chainlink fencing would be allowed to be placed on the Site Plan but would be
discouraged in actual construction. The proximity of the Golden Meadows
Subdivision and the recent approval of the Golden Meadows Fifth Filing
(residential lots) requires that the wareyard be screened with materials of a higher
quality than chainlink. One of the underlying concepts of the City of Fort
Collins Comprehensive Plan is that "mixed use" development allow opportunities
for employment uses to be located close to residential uses. In order for this
concept to work, lesser intense uses must be buffered from more intense uses. As a
result, the screening of a wareyard must be accomplished with solid wood or
masonry to preserve the integrity of the adjacent neighborhoods.
Please indicate your willingness to upgrade the wareyard fencing material in the
form of letter or revised site plan and submit to Mr. Tom Peterson, Planning
Director, Planning Department, City of Fort Collins. If there are any questions or
clarifications, please feel free to call at 221-6750.
Sincerely,
Ted Shepard
City Planner
