RE: Arapahoe Farm Townhomes - Action of the City Council
Dear Eldon:
On Tuesday, May 10, 1994, the City Council of the City of Fort Collins considered
an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Board approval (March 28, 1994) of Arapahoe
Farm Townhomes, Final P.U.D. The City Council voted to uphold the decision of
the Planning and Zoning Board, subject to two modifications. These two
modifications are summarized as follows:
1. The landscape plan shall be modified to add mature evergreen trees to the
easterly buffer area.
2. Neighborhood compatibility shall be achieved by additional building
materials, in particular, the roof shingles should be modified so that the
roofing is more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. This does
not mean cedar shakes but other products that have a better fire rating
than cedar shakes. The developer will present the selected roofing
• product to the City for evaluation. The City's Chief Building Official ,
Fire Marshal , and Planning Director will decide on the suitability of the
selected product to see if it meets the test of. compatibility. It is
anticipated that the appellants will be informed of the City's decision
prior to the consideration of the Resolution on Findings of the Appeal of
Arapahoe Farm Townhomes, Final P.U.D.
These two modifications are to be included in the Final documents in
addition to the conditions of Final approval as set by the Planning and
Zoning Board on March 28, 1994 and noted in a letter from the Planning
Department dated March 29, 1994.
Please feel free to call the Planning Department or City Attorney's office if
there are any questions regarding these actions by City Council .
