Subject: John's Harley Davidson
Reply requested by 10/11/97
Randy Dimario of RC Heath Construction called and wants to meet with both of you and
myself regarding the rooftop mechanical equipment at John's HD.
He did not like my September 11, 1997 letter addressing their proposal to paint the
equipment. He feels his client is once again being picked on "as there are hundreds
of buildings in Fort Collins which have visible rooftop equipment including the new
Neenan office building."
He indicated that this is totally being driven by a complaint from a person who
opposed the project from the beginning. Randy stated that if he filed complaints on
all the buildings in town that don't comply our office would be overwhelmed.
Anyway, I told him I would try and schedule a meeting. How about Monday afternoon
(8/13) or Tuesday (8/14)? Please reply as soon as possible so that I may call Randy
Dimario back.
Thanks.
Mike

RE: 1303 SE Frontage Road - John's Harley Davidson
Dear Gary:
ROBERT C. HEATH, C.E.O.
RANDY DeMARIO, President
LEM COUNCIL, V. P. of Operations
SEP 11 REC'D
This letter is in response to verbal notification from yourself concerning the above noted project. A telephone
conversation between you and myself indicated an existing complaint against the above noted project stating the
Roof Top Units (RTUs) were not screened from sight from the Public Right of Way.
R.C. Heath Construction Co. offers the following solution to this complaint. The RTUs housings in question will
be painted to match the surrounding areas in attempt to eliminate the contrast in colors which draws the eye. This
color can be a silver color to match the galvanized roofing material, light grey to match the siding on the building
or sky blue to blend into the sky above. This method is consistant will many other recent projects completed in
Fort Collins as the method for solving this item.
Please take time to review the above solutions and call with any questions. R.C. Heath Construction Co. would
like to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your time, please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely
Project Manager

Dear Rob,
Your September 8, 1997 letter to Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department regarding the rooftop
mechanical equipment at 1303 SE Frontage Road (John's Harley Davidson) was forwarded to the
Fort Collins Current Planning Department this afternoon.
Section 3.5.1 [J][5] of the Land Use Code states: "All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be
screened from public view from both above and below by integrating it into the building
and roof design to the maximum extent feasible."
While your proposal to paint the rooftop mechanical equipment to match surrounding areas will
help screen the equipment from greater distances (such as the Prospect Road/I-25 overpass), it
will not "to the maximum extent feasible" screen the rooftop equipment from the I-25 frontage
road as previously discussed with the Current Planning Department staff.
A rooftop parapet structure similar to the existing parapet on the south and east building
elevations is needed on the north and west building elevations in order screen the rooftop
equipment "to the maximum extent feasible."
As previously discussed with the Current Planning Department staff, please submit a Minor
Amendment application with amended PUD documents showing the addition of this parapet to
the north and west building elevations.
Please call me at 221-6206 with any questions regarding these comments.
Sincerely,
Michael Ludwig, AIC
City Planner
