LOUDEN CREEK DRIVING RANGE
AND GOLF CENTER
Planning Objective
This project will provide approximately 18 acres of greenbelt
close to the Ft. Collins - Loveland corridor by constructing a new concept
in driving ranges with a miniature putting course. Also included in this
project is a four acre outdoor well -landscaped flea market. The site will
be greatly enhanced by removing the old dilapidated structures and
remodeling the existing house. The existing utilities will work as they
exist and expansion is not expected in the near future. Traffic will be
effected very slightly (less than 1 %) with its traffic pattern being in
off-peak hours.
A further objective is to provide recreation at a reasonable cost
while maintaining the existing terrain with minor changes. Landscaping
will be added along College Avenue and throughout project to provide
buffer areas.
Parking will be shared between the driving range/miniature putting
course and the flea market, and will be located away from College Avenue.
Parking will be screened by interior landscaping. The flea market will
also be divided by landscaping. All landscaping shall be low -maintenance
requiring little watering. The water required for landscaping will come
from the Louden Creek irrigation system.
All of this will provide an esthetically pleasing project that
provides family recreation and appeal while maintaining a low impact on
the existing environment for Northern Colorado.
