APPLICANT: Marc Middel Enterprises c/o Linda Ripley V-F-Ripley 1113 Stoney Hill Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525 OWNER: Marc Middel 1407 South College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request to amend the land uses permitted on Parcel A (7.3 acres of neighborhood convenience shopping center) and Parcel B ( 3 acres of duplex housing or office) of the existing Park South P.U.D. Overall Development Plan to allow 75 single-family residential dwelling units on 13.3 acres (includes Parcels A, B, an remaining undeveloped Parcel C), a residential density of 5.6 dwelling units per acre. The property is located at the southwest corner of West Horsetooth Road and Manhattan Avenue and is zoned R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential. RECOMMENDATION: Denial. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This request for amendment to the Park South Amended Overall Development Plan, #46- 88F is consistent with the following land use policies of the Land Use Policies Plan: 3a, 3d, 12, 22, 79a, 79b, 79c, 79d, and 79e. However, the request is not consistent with adopted elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan as it eliminates all opportunity for mixed -use development and varied housing types that were originally approved and anticipated by the City of Fort Collins. Land Use Policies 3a, 22, 26, 67, 80a, 80b, 80c, 80d, and 80e; and the Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center Design Guidelines , Policies, Criteria were used as justification in approving the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan and are still valid. In addition, the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan complies with numerous policies of the Community Vision and Goals 2015 document. There have not been significant changes in the area to warrant a change to the allowable land uses. Continued residential development in the surrounding area suggests that a neighborhood service center at this location is still appropriate. This request would reduce the number of daily trip ends from 12,660 to approximately 720 daily trip ends. While this decrease in volume would lower traffic impacts on Horsetooth Road, COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT determined to be acceptable in 1991 and remain acceptable today. Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 3 COMMENTS 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-L-P; Horsetooth Road, existing church (Southside Baptist Church), existing single-family residential (Foothills Park Subdivision) R-P; Horsetooth Road, existing single-family residential (Warren Farms), vacant (planned residential and commercial) S: R-L-P; existing single-family residential (Park South PUD) E: H-B; existing movie theater (Carmike 10), railroad (Burlington Northern), varied commercial (Bowling Alley, Creger Plaza, etc.) W: R-L-P; existing single-family residential (Four Seasons) The property was originally part of the Park South P.U.D. approved in Larimer County on April 3, 1978. The property was annexed in 1980 with the agreement that the County approved P.U.D. had legal validity. This County approved P.U.D. plan called for 143 single-family, zero lot line homes, with common landscaped areas and served by private drives. Two street improvements were constructed to serve the original P.U.D.: Manhattan Avenue and Stream Court. In August of 1988, the Planning and Zoning Board denied a request to amend the Park South Master Plan to allow 44 single-family lots, 14 zero lot line units and 233,000 square feet of office, commercial, and retail uses. This denial was based on the finding that the proposed land uses would create demands on the transportation facilities which would exceed the capacity of the existing and future transportation network of the City. In November of 1988, the City Council upheld this denial on appeal. On September 23, 1991 the Planning and Zoning Board approved the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan on 34.3 acres. The existing O.D.P. includes the following parcels and land uses: Parcel Land Use Gross Acreage D.U's Density A Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center 7.3 acres ---- 50,000 s.f. B Duplex Housing or 3.0 acres 24 8 du/acre Office ---- 30,000 s.f. C Single-family residential 24.0 acres 121 5.1 du/acre 0 s Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 4 On December 16, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the first residential filing based on the Park South P.U.D. Amended Overall Development Plan. This filing was referred to as Four Seasons Seventh Filing and consisted of nine single family lots on two acres of Parcel C, a residential density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The identification to Four Seasons and not Park South was due to the orientation of to Benthaven Drive and inclusion to the Four Seasons Homeowner's Association. On March 23, 1992 the Planning and Zoning Board approved the Park South P.U.D., First Replat to allow 23 single family lots on 3.91 acres of Parcel C, a residential density of 5.88 dwelling units per acre. On July 27, 1992 the Planning and Zoning Board approved the Park South P.U.D., Second Replat to allow 91 single-family dwelling units on 15.54 acres of Parcel C, a residential density of 5.86 dwelling units per acre. The remainder of Parcel C and all of Parcels A and B of the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan are currently undeveloped. 2. Land Use: This is a request to amend the land uses permitted on Parcel A (7.3 acres of neighborhood convenience shopping center) and Parcel B ( 3 acres of duplex housing or office) of the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan to allow 75 single-family residential dwelling units on 13.3 acres (includes Parcels A, B, an remaining undeveloped Parcel C), a residential density of 5.6 dwelling units per acre. Section 29-526 F (3c) of the City Code states: "The overall development plan will not be reviewed on the basis of the specific design standards and criteria contained in this section (the LDGS), but rather on the basis of conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan." 3. Comprehensive Plan: A. Applicant's Request The applicant submits that this request for amendment to the Park South Amended Overall Development Plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan on the basis that it is supported by the following policies of the adopted Land Use Policies Plan (an element of the Comprehensive Plan): Policy 3a- The City shall promote maximum utilization of land within the city. • Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 5 Policy 3d- The City shall promote the location of residential development which is close to employment, recreation, and shopping facilities. Policy 12- Urban density residential development usually at three or more units to the acre should be encouraged in the urban growth area. Policy 22- Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development proposals which are contiguous to existing development within the city limits or consistent with the phasing plan for the City's urban growth area. Policy 76 - Density bonuses should be provided to developers who provide low and moderate income housing. (Note: No commitment is being made to provide a certain percentage of dwelling units within the City's established guidelines for affordable housing.) Policy 79a - Low -density residential uses should locate in areas which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers. Policy 79b- Low -density residential uses should locate in areas which have easy access to major employment centers. Policy 79c- Low -density residential uses should locate in areas within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school. Policy 79d- Low -density residential uses should locate in areas within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park and within easy access to a community park. Policy 79e- Low -density residential uses should locate in areas in which a collector street affords the primary access. (Note: 5.6 dwelling units per acre would be considered low/medium density.) The applicant notes that the proposed density is consistent with the existing developments of Park South P.U.D. First and Second Replats. Neighborhood street are laid out to discourage through traffic and to promote the integrity of the neighborhood. Finally, utility lines have been extended by previous developments to provide water, sanitary sewer and storm drain services to the subject property. Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 6 B. Staff's Response As stated in the September 23, 1991 Planning and Zoning Board Staff Memo for the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan, the neighborhood convenience shopping center use designated for Parcel A and the office use or duplex housing use on Parcel B was supported, and remains supported today, by the following plans and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan: 1. Land Use Policies Plan Policy 3a- The City shall promote maximum utilization of land within the city. Policy 22- Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development proposals which are contiguous to existing development within the city limits or consistent with the phasing plan for the City's urban growth area. Policy 26- Availability of existing services shall be used as a criteria in determining the location of higher intensity areas in the City. Policy 67- Only neighborhood scale service centers will be allowed in residential neighborhoods. Policy 80a- Higher density residential uses should locate near regional/community shopping centers (Foothills Fashion Mall and the Square are within 4,000 feet of Park South). Policy 80b- Higher density residential uses should locate within close proximity to a neighborhood park (Troutman Park is within 3,500 feet of Park South). Policy 80c- Higher density residential uses should locate where water and sewer facilities can be adequately provided (This is an in -fill site). Policy 80e- Higher density residential uses should locate with access to public transportation (Transit route exists along Horsetooth Road). Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 7 2. Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center - Design Guidelines, Policies, Criteria In September of 1988, the City Council adopted the above referenced policy document that authorized the creation of the Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center (point chart J of the LDGS). According to this policy. - "A neighborhood convenience shopping center is defined as a shopping area designed to provide limited goods and services in a manner convenient to adjacent residential areas. Such centers typically include, or may be "anchored" by a convenience store of 1,200 to 4,000 square feet; total retail floor area may range from 12,000 to 50,000 square feet." In addition, the definition in the LDGS states: "A shopping and service center situated on seven or less acres with four or more business establishments located in a complex which is planned, developed, and managed as a unit, and located within and intended to primarily serve the consumer demands of the adjacent residential neighbors." Any PUD application for the Neighborhood Center in the existing O.D.P. would be required to meet this definition. 3. Community Vision and Goals 2015 While the Community Vision and Goals 2015 has not been adopted by the City Council as a regulatory document, it is appropriate to review those portions that might apply to this request as an indication of the direction of the developing City Plan. This document has numerous statement which support the existing land use designations for Parcels A and B of the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan: LAND USE Fort Collins will be a city of cohesive, distinct, diverse, attractive and safe neighborhoods. • Our neighborhoods will have a mix of land uses and different housing types, including accessory homes and uses. Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 8 Neighborhoods will be designed with a system of interconnected local streets, bikeways, and pedestrian paths, offering multiple routes for any given trip. There will be a pedestrian oriented neighborhood center --a school, park, plaza, commercial area, or other neighborhood facility-- that gives each neighborhood a unique identity and a place for informal social activity, recreation or public gatherings. The arrangement of land uses within neighborhoods will allow residents to walk and bicycle to parks, schools, work, shopping, places of worship, transit stops and other nearby neighborhoods. TRANSPORTATION Our community's transportation system will improve air quality, manage traffic congestion, and support efficient land use. • Fort Collins will promote mixed -use development so there is less need for people to travel and so distances traveled are shorter. HOUSING Our community will provide a mix of housing distributed throughout the city. Our neighborhoods will include a variety of housing types to support a diverse population and allow people of different ages, cultures, races and incomes to live in each neighborhood. Our neighborhoods will have the environment, amenities, mix of uses, and housing attributes to support a diverse population. Fort Collins will promote development of well -designed, compatible, high -quality multifamily developments and accessory homes throughout the community. While the requested amendment is consistent with some land use policies as the applicant has noted, those policies originally used as justification for commercial uses and duplex housing remain as valid today as when the O.D.P. was originally approved. In addition, there have not been significant changes in the area to warrant a change to the allowable land uses. If anything, the continued single-family residential development in this area validates the appropriateness of the convenience center designation and adjacent duplex housing. In addition, the requested amendment to the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan would eliminate any opportunity for mixed -use development and further reduce opportunities for a mix of housing types in this area of the City. Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 9 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: On September 23, 1991 the Planning and Zoning Board determined that the designated uses on the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan were compatible with surrounding land uses. A neighborhood meeting was held on March 14, 1996 regarding this request to amend the Overall Development Plan to allow 75 single-family lots. Minutes of the neighborhood meeting are attached. Concerns expressed at the neighborhood meeting were generally related to the proposed density (too high), the height of houses and number of houses along the west property line, and storm drainage issues. The applicant feels that the request to amend the O.D.P. is compatible with surrounding land uses as the proposed density is consistent with the existing developments of Park South P.U.D. First and Second Replats. 5. Transportation: Vehicular access is proposed from the east/west local street from Manhattan Avenue and Rockaway Street. Pedestrian access would be provided to Horsetooth Road. The traffic study indicates that the proposed amendment would reduce the anticipated number of daily trip ends from 12,660 for the neighborhood convenience shopping center and office/duplex uses to approximately 720 daily trip ends for the 75 single-family lots. While this decrease would lower traffic impacts on Horsetooth Road, the levels of service generated by a neighborhood convenience shopping center were determined to be acceptable in 1991 and remain acceptable today. 6. Stormwater: The applicant has been unable to prove how storm drainage flows will be conveyed down Manhattan Drive without flowing onto adjacent properties. This issue must be resolved prior to the Planning and Zoning Board's consideration of any Preliminary P.U.D. for Parcels A and B (neighborhood convenience shopping center, office/duplex, or single- family residential). FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION: 1. The Park South Amended Overall Development Plan, #46-88F is consistent with the following land use policies of the Land Use Policies Plan: 3a, 3d, 12, 22, 79a, 79b, 79c, 79d, and 79e. 2. The Park South Amended Overall Development Plan, #46-88F is not consistent with adopted elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan as it eliminates all opportunity Park South Amended O.D.P., #46-88F August 26, 1996 P&Z Meeting Page 10 for mixed -use development and varied housing types that were originally approved and anticipated by the City of Fort Collins. Land Use Policies 3a, 22, 26, 67, 80a, 80b, 80c, 80d, and 80e; and the Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center Design Guidelines , Policies, Criteria were used as justification in approving the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan and are still valid. In addition, the existing Park South Amended Overall Development Plan complies with numerous policies of the Community Vision and Goals 2015 document. 3. There have not been significant changes in the area to warrant a change to the allowable land uses. Continued residential development in the surrounding area suggests that a neighborhood service center at this location is still appropriate. 4. The Park South Amended Overall Development Plan, #46-88F reduces the number of daily trip ends from 12,660 to approximately 720 daily trip ends. 5. While this decrease in volume would lower traffic impacts on Horsetooth Road, the levels of service generated by a neighborhood convenience shopping center were determined to be acceptable in 1991 and remain acceptable today.

Dick Rutherford, Stewart & Associates Fort Collins Planning Department Fort Collins Transportation Division FROM: Matt Delich 'fit, DATE: March 12, 1996 SUBJECT: Park South traffic study (File: 9615MEM1) This memorandum provides a comparison of the trip generation for proposed land uses on a portion of the Park South PUD, located in the southwest quadrant of the Horsetooth/Manhattan intersection. The previous proposal for this parcel was a retail/office use, as reported in the "Park South PUD Site Access Study," May 1988. The current proposal is for 75 single family detached dwelling units. With the commercial uses, this portion of the Park South PUD was projected to generate 12,660 daily trip ends, 390 morning peak hour trip ends, and 1179 afternoon peak hour trip ends. The proposed 75 dwelling units is projected to generate 720 daily trip ends, 55 morning peak hour trip ends, and 76 afternoon peak hour, trip ends. The proposed residential uses will cause a significant reduction in the trip generation on this parcel. Operation at the key intersections will be acceptable. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT.- Park South P. U.D., Third Filing DATE: March 14, 1996 APPLICANT. Mark Mytle (not present) CONSULTANT.- Dick Rutherford, Stewart Associates PLANNER: Mike Ludwig The applicant proposes to develop 75 residential lots on 13.2 acres, a residential density of 5.68 dwelling units per acre. The applicant indicated that they intend to build houses that are the same size/market as those which exist south of this property (also developed by Mark Mytle). The proposed residential use will generate approximately 720 vehicle trips per day. The commercial uses shown on the existing Overall Development Plan for this same 13.2 acres would generate 12,660 vehicles trips per day. Questions, Concerns, Comments: Will there be a curb installed along Manhattan? A. Park South was originally developed in the County and curb and gutter was not required. When the property was annexed into the City, the annexation agreement stipulated that no curb and gutter would be required of remaining phases of Park South. The City will be working with this developer to install a drainage pan along Manhattan to correct existing problems. 2. What will be the setback distance of houses from the west property line? A. The applicant is proposing 110 foot deep lots. The front yard setback is 20'. An average house is approximately 50 feet deep. Therefore, the rear yard setback distance will be approximately 40 feet. 3. Are these going to be the same type houses as those to the south? A. Yes. The applicant proposes two story houses like those to the south. 4. Will there be a fence along Horsetooth Road? A. The ends of the cul-de-sacs will be open (no fencing) for pedestrian access to Horsetooth Road from within the development. Side yard fences may not extend beyond the front of the houses. 5. How wide are the lots? A. The lots will be 50 to 60 feet wide. The minimum side yard setback is 5 feet which results in a 10 foot separation between buildings. 6. We ask that the City allow only 1-story buildings along the west property line as houses to the west of this development are all 1-story, ranch style houses. We don't want people looking into our backyards and windows. 7. Who will maintain fences along the west property line? A. The consulting engineer will talk with Mr. Mytle. This development will have a homeowners association which will maintain their fence. City staff would like to see a single, common fence along this property line rather than two fences separated by a couple of feet to avoid a tunnel effect. The applicant's engineer indicated that they would be willing to meet with the neighbors to the west to achieve a common solution. Is there capacity at Lopez Elementary for students from this development? A. The City Staff works closely with the Poudre R-1 School District. The District receives copies of all development proposals. The School District continues to state that there is capacity district wide. There is no guarantee that children from this development will attend Lopez Elementary. The School District determines attendance boundaries through processes outside of the City's development review process. 9. Does the City regulate whether these houses are owner occupied or rented? A. No. 10. Storm drainage is a concern for this area in general. A. Last year there was an extensive amount of rain which was very unusual. The regional stormwater detention ponds in this area have not decreased and will not decrease in size with additional development. Storm drainage engineering is the most expensive and extensive part of the development plan preparation. 11. Will the area south of Glen South remain open? A. Yes, the detention pond will remain. 12. What did the Overall Development Plan show regarding commercial development on this same property? A. (Staff) I believe it called for medical office and restaurant uses. It included a greenbelt for buffering. 13. If the developer would not build two-story houses along the west property line that is great. It is still better (traffic wise) than a commercial land use. We need to keep a population base for Lopez Elementary. 14. There are advantages of a commercial use also, such as easy access to services by the surrounding neighborhood. NOTE: NO DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS AS OF 4/18/96. • f� T^ _TN LIA 1(iii.u0�1100L i`tl l^Jil��l 11V1`IT VlC. 111iG for .� Project: Meetin2 Location: City of Fort Collin Date: _ y A( Attendees: Please sign this sheet.

Ludwig Ft. Collins Planning and Zoning Board Dear Board Memebers: As home owners at 720 Arbor #15, we are very concerned about the project referred to as "The Park South P.U.D." It is our under- standing that this area has not been zoned as of this date. Our home and those of our neighbors at" "The Village" joins to the East the property in question which is owned by Middei Con-' struction Company. We Strongiy suggest to you, the board, that notmore that a homes be built along the East side of our pro- perty as the homes according to Middels pia.n would be build straight along the property fence and face East. We also feel that these homes be built on 60 foot lots. We ask that you consider these homes to be one story a.s they would be more in harmony with existing homes and would make for a. more habitable neighbor- hood, for everyone concerned. We hope the board will loop: thoroughly into the requests ma.de by the homeowners of The Village. We are all interested in keeping Fort Collins the wonderful and beautiful city it is. Thank you for your consideration. lncerely, cc: Mr. Peter Barnes Mr. Ted Shepha.rd 0 • RECEIVED APR 15 1990 Fort Collins Planning & Zoning Board 281 North College Ave. P. 0. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Aft: Mr. Michael G. Ludwig, City Planner: Dear Members of the Board: 720 Arbor Ave. Ft. Collins, CO. April 9, 1996. I want to make reference to the neighborhood meeting that occurred on March 14, 1996, at the Southside Baptist Church, 620 W.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Attention: Mr. Michael G. Ludwig, City Planner Dear Members of the P. and Z. Board: I write you with reference to the project referred to as "The Park South PUD, Third Replat' . We are homeowners living in the Village at Four Seasons, just west of the pro- posed project. I understand that the property in question has not as yet been zoned, and that you are working on it. May I encourage you to determine the proper zoning quickly, before the contractor who is currently building in that project is able to start any more houses. All of our residences are single story. We are hoping that you will zone it for single story residences only. Our reason for that hope is that two story residences built as close to the property line as is apparently intended, will allow people to gaze over any fence and down into our back yards, and even into our back porches. We cherish our privacy, and hate to see it invaded. Additionally, we understand that the contractor on that project is planning to put 10 houses per block. We think that is 2 too many. The houses will be quite close even with 8 per block. Traffic congestion and problems with water run-off in- crease with the number of houses per block, as you know better than I. I appreciate the fact that contractors want to make more money, and the city is not against that. However, the quality of life in Ft. Collins has been a strong sell- ing point for living here, and the problems spoken of above would certainly de- tract from the quality of life here. Thank you for reading and, hopefully, responding favorably to our requests. Sincerely, Altop"J. Goodenber er Marilyn 0.

Ludwig., City Planner Reference is made to Mark Middel's proposed project development referred to as "The Park South PUDt Third Replat". A meeting was held on March 149 1996, at the Southside Baptist Church with the residents of "The Village at Four Seasons". Most of the residents of The Village are senior citizens with a great deal of concern for keeping their neighborhood as quiet, clean, clutter -free, and attractive as possible. We strongly oppose the density population being proposed in this project. We also feel there should be no more than eight houses, at the very most, built along the east side of our fence, nor should any of these houses be more than one story high. We feel we are justified in opposing Mr. Middel's construction of ten houses. We prefer eight houses. In summary, we submit the following reasons for opposing Mr. Middel's plan: 1. Objection to two-story houses. The Village at Four ,Seasons sits on an elevated plane adjacent to Mr. Middelts property. If two-story houses are built there the Village residents on the west side of the fence would be looking into the two-story houses white using their decks, sun -rooms, etc. This would not be an attractive sight. Neither the occupants of our homes nor the proposed two-story homes would enjoy any amount of privacy. 2. Cut down density. Serious consideration should be given to building eight houses instead of ten as proposed. Two more houses causes more traffic congestion, people, noise, pollution, and could possibly adversely affect our property values. We believe the reasons given above are within reasonable limits and hope our feelings will be favorably considered by you. We appreciate any support you can give the residents of the Village at Four Seasons. We want to be good neighbors but we also want to protect our quality of life and property valuations.

U. D., Third Replat. A number of us attended the neighborhood information meeting on March 14, at the Southside Baptist Church where we saw the drawing of the proposed residential development. Mr. Ludwig from the City Planning Department and Mr. Rutherford of Stewart and Associates were most helpful in responding to our questions. However, we have some concerns that we would like to discuss with you. The primary concern is the matter of privacy for residents of both- the Village and Park South. How al-0se*-w111 the new homes be to the fence along the east side of our property? Will they all be two story homes or will there be some one story units? You are invited to meet with our Board of Directors. Our next scheduled meeting is April 2, at 9:30 a. m., at Unit 11, 720 Arbor Avenue. If that is not convenient we will be happy to meet at a time and place that you suggest.

CO 80526 282-3506 Dear Mike Ludwig, RECEIVED AUS 1 2 1996 August 9, 1996 I am sending this because I am not able to attend the meeting on Monday August 12 about the land use on 46-88F Park South. I support more family homes to be built on that • property due to the fact that we do not need another plaza so close to the new one on Shields and the Albertson's plaza. Our school at Lopez could use more children in this area, and when you have homes it give a community a chance to grow. Plaza's are not the answer. It only brings in more activity that we do not need. The traffic would be too much for Horsetooth to handle. The movie theater already brings in enough conjestion. Fort Collins is a growing area so we need more housing to fit the needs. Area's change and we need to accept those changes with a long term use. Plaza come and go, and there is nothing worst than being in a area where the plaza's are half filled. We do not need to populate this area with shopping we have enough. We need to continue to develope community and family areas. Growth with benefit works for all, having families in this area is a benefit. Thank you for _your time. Please keep us informed.

Traffic is already terribly congested in the area of the Horsetooth and College intersection , McClelland Drive, South Mason Street, and Manhattan Avenue. This situation was made worse by the construction of the 10-screen Carmike Theaters on Horsetooth. Additional construction of a convenience shopping center or offices would make the traffic congestion intolerable. Presently the areas surrounding the Site are residential. This includes Lopez Elementary-school and Troutman Park. A change to Single Family Residential would put the Site more in line with the surrounding neighborhood. To develop the area as a neighborhood convenience shopping center or office uses would only aggravate the presently congested traffic situation and degrade the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Convenient shopping is already near the Site and plentiful. An Alfalfa's market, an Albertson's grocery store, a Total gas station and convenience store, and many restaurants are within walking distances of the Site. Construction of additional stores or restaurants in this area will not be of any benefit to the nearby residents or to other residents of Fort Collins. Amend the Overall Development Plan for the Site to Single Family Housing as soon as possible for the betterment of the surrounding neighborhoods and community. Sincerely, Michael G.
