RE: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR MINIMUM WIDTH OF MINIMUM DRIVEWAY WIDTH
DETAIL DRAWING 707.1 – LARIMER COUNTY URBAN AREA STREET STANDARDS
THE FLATS AT HANSEN FARMS
Staff,
Variance Request – Minimum Standard Driveway Approach Width (High Volume Drive Type III):
This is a request for a variance from the stated minimum width of a driveway contained in Detail 707.1 of the
Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). The stated minimum driveway width for a type III
approach is 24’ per the detail. The Flats at Hansen Farms project proposes to provide one access to the project
off Zephyr Road with a right-in only driveway with a reduced width of 20’ (fl-fl) to provide only the needed width
for one-way traffic as well as to limit vehicles from attempting to use one-way access to exit the site.
Justification:
The minimum high volume driveway width of 24’ stated in LCUASS Detail 707.1 correlates with the minimum
two-way drive aisle width for parking lots noted in Table B from section 3.2.2(L) of the Fort Collins Land Use
Code. Reducing the driveway width to 20’ for the one-way site entrance off Zephyr Road would similarly
coincide with the Fort Collins Land Use Code minimum dimensions for one-way parking lot drive aisle width of
20’ shown in the same table of the Land Use Code. It is the design engineer’s opinion that the reduction of the
width of the driveway to match the one-way traffic pattern drive aisle of 20’ will function as intended, reduce
potential two-way traffic from entering the one-way portion of the aisle, and still provide the needed width to
provide access to the controlling design vehicle’s turning template (52’ Poudre Fire Authority pump truck – see
attached exhibit).
There is no foreseen adverse impact to the City’s capital and maintenances costs relating to this variance
request. This variance is not foreseen to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, nor reduce the
design life of the improvement.
Sincerely,
NORTHERN ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC.

I think this would work. I would prefer to keep this point of access and would not want to remove it just because of a
tree. I think the additional 3-4 feet of clearance would be acceptable and I am comfortable with this tree location.

Marcus – Klara with Ripley said they can move the tree to the location marked in blue. That’s probably 3’-4’ west,
does that solve it?
