RE: 1992 Southwest Elementary School Site Plan Advisory Review
Dear Mr. Spearnak:
On Monday, May 20, 1991, at their regular meeting, the City of Fort Collins Planning and
Zoning Board voted four to one to advise the Poudre School District R-1 that the location,
character, and extent of the proposed 1992 Southwest Elementary School does not meet the
Transportation Element of the City's Master Plan.
The authority to make such a finding is found in Section 22-32-124,and Section 31-23-209of
Colorado Revised Statutes.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that Poudre School District consider the
following two conditions to the Site. Plan:
The alignment of Hinsdale Drive (extended) should be curvelinear. The intersection
with Harmony Road should be shifted 100 to'200 feet to the west, and then be brougfit -
into the existing Hinsdale Drive via a reverse curve.
2. In accordance with the Site Access Study, the new intersection of Harmony Road and
Hinsdale Drive should be constructed with the striping and geometries as specified in
order to accommodate the necessary turn lanes.
It is the desire of the Planning and Zoning Board and the Development Services Staff of the
City of Fort Collins to continue to work with Poudre School District in a spirit of cooperation.
In fact, recent discussion regarding buffering the southerly property line and the location of
the City neighborhood park have resulted in mutually beneficial solutions for both parties,
including the Clarendon Hills neighborhood. We hope that this level of coordination will
continue in the future.
