Re: Dakota Ridge P. U.D. Phase III
Project No. 10-746-050
Dear Planning & Zoning Board:
November 23, 1994
With this letter we are requesting a variance to the "Land Development Guidance System for
Planned Unit Developments" Section (5) Final Plan, Paragraph (b), Subparagraph [1], item b.
which states "Increase the number of residential dwelling units by more than one (1%) percent.
Found on page 93 of the "Land Development Guidance System for Planning Unit
Developments".
Since we submitted the Preliminary P.U.D. for Dakota Ridge Phase III back on June 6, 1994 and
received Preliminary Approval on September 26, 1994 there has been on going negotiation with
the City of Fort Collins Parks Department and Stormwater Utility Department. Within the last
few weeks we have concluded the negotiation and have revised our outer boundary slightly to
reflect these changes.
The two different areas that were effected were the southern boundary between the park site
adjacent to the new Fort Collins High School and Dakota Ridge Phase III southern boundary.
The other area was on the Northwest corner of the subdivision this property transaction was
between the Stormwater Utility "Foothills Basin Regional Channel; The First Assembly of God
property and Dakota Ridge Phase III. Prior to final alignment of the channel the Dakota Ridge
Phase III property extended into the proposed channel area abutting the "Church" -property -.—
After the final alignment of the channel a "land swap" was consummated where as a triangular
piece of property North of the channel was transferred to the "Church property" and a triangular
piece of property on the South side of the channel was transferred to Dakota Ridge Phase III.
With these two areas now finalized we were also able to slightly modify the lot layouts and were
able to come up with two additional lots. These negotiations have been on going since after we
brought this project to Conceptual Review back on January 24, 1994.

At the time of our Preliminary Submittal we had 74 Single Family lots and 20.73 acres which
equated to 3.57 DU/Ac. At this time of Final Approval we have 76 Single Family lots on 21.11
Ac. which equates to 3.60 DU/Ac.
As you can see by these adjustments, we have not significantly changed the density of the Dakota
Ridge P.U.D., Third filing.
We appreciate your attention to this variance.
Respectfully,
