RE: Bloom Filing One – Delozier Road Variance Request
Dear Dave Betley,
Galloway, on behalf of Hartford Homes and in support of the Bloom project currently under
review, is providing the following written justification for the Delozier Road layout, per the request of
the City of Fort Collins.
A) Identification of the standard to be waived or varied and why the standard is
unfeasible or is not in the public interest.
A variance is requested for the Delozier Road layout south of International Boulevard. Per
chapter 7 of the LUCASS standards The City of Fort Collins requires a road section as
shown in Figure 7-5F (attached to this letter). This road section is built with an 81’
continuous right-of-way. Due to site restraints a variance is being requested to use a split
right-of-way with a 30’ easement on centerline. (Please see attached exhibit showing
proposed layout)
B) Proposing Alternate Design. Identification of the proposed alternative design or
construction criteria.
A variance is requested to use a split right-of-way for the lay out of Delozier Road south
of International Boulevard (see attached exhibit).
C) A thorough description of the variance request including impact on capital and
maintenance requirements, costs, and how the new design compares to the
standard.
The City of Fort Collins requires that a collector with parking be built to the specification
shown in figure 7-5F (attached). The variance, with split right-of-way, would create a 30’
easement for utilities to maintain the existing easements for these utilities for use and
maintenance purposes. This would eliminate the conflict between current utility easement
location and proposed roadway improvements such as sidewalks further reducing impact
on maintenance costs.

D) Justification. The Professional Engineer must determine and state that the
variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, will not
reduce design life of the improvement nor cause the Local Entity additional
maintenance costs. The proposed plan (as varied) must advance the public
purpose of the standard sought to be varied equally well or better than would
compliance with such standard.
The proposed variance allows Delozier Road to function inside of the spatial restraints of
the site. The proposed variance maintains the maintenance costs and eliminates utility
easement conflicts with proposed improvements. The split right-of-way causes no impact
on the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
Sincerely,
GALLOWAY
