RE: Request for variance on Mountain Ridge Farms, P.U.D. 2°d Filing.
Dear Mark:
On behalf of our client, Progressive Living Structures, we are requesting a variance to the
minimum centerline radius requirement of 240 feet for a residential street. We are proposing
a centerline radius of 185.00 feet for Woodview Place. The location of the 185.00 feet radius
is located near the cul-de-sac. Please refer to the attached sketch.
Being near to the end of the street, the amount vehicles using this portion of the street is
small. There will be only 11 lots that either will have access to the curve or access to the
street after the curve. Being a cul-de-sac street and not a through street, traffic will be moving
at a slower speed. The smaller radius curve should function acceptably for the low volume
and low speed traffic.
In additiorl, from conversations with the City of Loveland's staff, it is my understanding that
the City of Fort Collins, the City of Loveland and Larimer County are trying to work together
for a consistent street design standards for this area. Not only would I like to commend the
cooperation between the three government agencies, but also I would like to point out that the
City of Loveland permits a centerline radius of 165.00 feet for streets classified as a "Lane."
For a street to be classified as a "Lane," it would have to serve less than 26 dwelling units.
Woodview Place at the proposed curve meets the requirements for a "Lane" in Loveland.
I am requesting a variance to allow a centerline radius of 185.00 feet for Woodview Place.
If you have any questions, please contact me at you convenience.
Sincerely,
James R. Loonan, PE
