CITY OF FORT COLLINS
OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT
May 17, 1988
Dear Resident:
On Wednesday, May 4, 1988
at 7:00 P.M. at Lopez Elementary School, a neigh-
borhood meeting was held by
the staff of the Planning Department to discuss a
proposed development in your area (Park South PUD). A mailing list, prepared
by a local title company for
the developer, was provided for city staff to send
notices of this meeting to approximately 280 propertyowners in the area. I
have since been informed
by several residents that live near the site at
Horsetooth and Manhattan
that they did not receive notices prior to this
meeting. The developer has
subsequently informed me that the list submitted
to the city for this project
was incomplete and that 30 propertyowners were
left off of the original list.
I am sending the enclosed information for you, in
the hope that it will provide
you with valuable background information on this
project. A reduced copy of
the proposed Park South PUD Master Plan, a copy
of the May 4 meeting summary
and general information submitted by the
developer for this project are
attached.
The Park South PUD Master Plan and preliminary phase plan (Phase A, for 54
single family lots) have been submitted to the Planning Department, in antici-
pation of a June 27 review by the Planning and Zoning Board. I am presently
receiving comments from other city departments and agencies on this project
and will be working with the developci to address issues raised during the
neighborhood meeting. Advance notice of the Planning and Zoning Board
review will be mailed to you, as well as those propertyowners on the original
mailing list.
I sincerely regret any inconvenience you may experience and realize the
frustration you may feel at not being informed of the neighborhood meeting
on this project. I share your concern that such a large group of propertyown-
ers has not been given the opportunity to comment on the proposed develop-
ment and hope that the information I have included will assist you in becom-
ing aware of and informed about the proposal. I encourage you to contact me
at 221-6750, or to contact the project architect, Frank Vaught (Vaught -Frye
Architects), at 223-2808 if you have any questions or comments on this project.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT

PLANNING OBJECTIVES
The Park South P.U.D. Master Plan is a planned mixed -use
development of 275,000 S.F. retail, office 6 service uses, ,nd 55
single family residential units.
It develops the 31 acre parcel of land bounded on the east by
Manhattan, on the south by single family housing on Albion Way,
on the north by Horsetooth iload, and on the west by The Village
at Four Seasons P.U.D. and vacant land. The parcel is zoned RLP,
and has a slight slope to the east.
Major vehicular access to the commercial parcels( will be by curb
cuts off Horsetooth (an arterial) and Manhattan (a collector),
with minor access off Dennison Ave. (a local) to the south. This
latter street provides access to the residential parcel. Its
alignment is to dissuade through vehicular traffic.
Internal circulation to the commercial parcels is by private
driveways. There is planned pedestrian circulation between the
commercial and residential parcels, taking advantage of the open
space buffer to segregate walkers and cars.
It is the intent of the Master Plan to provide soft transitions
of land use from retail, along the highway frontages, through
commercial and office uses at the center of the site, to the
residential uses adjacent to the neighbors. In addition there
will be landscaped and open space buffers between uses and
neighbors, as shown on the plan.
At the intersection of Horsetooth and Manhattan is a planned
mixed -use retail center, v.-ith a large -user anchor, such as a
furniture or decorator showroom, taking advantage both of the
location, and rent is lower than along College. At this time a
major grocery anchor is not envisaged at this location. The
offices in Parcel "C", behind the retail, will be small-scale
garden offices, on landscaped lots with their own small parking
plazas. These provide a soft transition to the existing
proposed and• residential uses. The office/commercial uses at
Parcels "E" 6 "B", provide a use transitional between residential
and retail.
Structures will be designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding
neighborhood, topography, and particular land uses, with offsets
to create interest, and detailed landscaping to further soften
building forms. A unified architectural and landscaping theme
will be pursued throughout Park South Master Plan.
Construction will begin with Parcel "A" in late 1989, and
remaining parcels will be developed with favorable market
conditions for a 10 year build -out.

PLANNING OBJECTIVES
This is the preliminary phase of the Park South Master Plan, a 31
acre mixed -use development proposed at the S.W. corner of
Manhattan and Horsetooth.
Parcel "A" consists of 11 acres, situated in the southern third
of the Master Plan. It is bounded by Manhattan to the east, by
existing single-family housing along Albion Way to the south, and
by vacant land to -the west. To the north will be the future
parcels '11' i 'C' of the Master Plan, respectively commercial/
• office and office uses.
Parcel 'A' is served by Dennison Avenue, which runs east to west
from Manhattan to eenthaven. The alignment of Dennison through
parcel 'A' is deliberately cranked to disuade thru traffic.
Dennison Ave, off Manhattan is single -loaded for 400 ft. (plus or
minus) on its northern side, in anticipation of future
commercial/office uses.
There are 54 single-family lots arranged on two cul-de-sacs, and
on Dennison Ave. The developer seeks to provide minimum sized
lots of 6000 sf., rectangular in shape so as to maximize the use
of land, and cater to a middle -income market. The lots will be
served by 36 ft, wide City standard local streets, permitting
parking on both sides, and with attached roll-over curb, gutter
and sidewalks.
This development will be sympathetic to the surrounding
neighborhood land uses, and will shield existing housing along
Albion Way from future commercial development planned in the
. northern two-thirds of the Park South Master Plan.
It is hoped to begin construction in late 1988, subject to
favorable market conditions.
