This project will provide a major greenbelt area close to the Ft.
Collins - Loveland Corridor by constructing a golf course with a driving
range and a miniature putting course. New building structures will not be
needed as the existing buildings will be renovated. The existing utilities
(water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone) will work as they exist and future
expansion is not expected. Traffic will be effected very slightly (less
than 1 %) with its traffic pattern being in off-peak hours.
A further objective is to provide recreation at a reasonable cost while
protecting the environment as much as possible. The existing slopes and
terrain will be used with as little change as possible. Existing ponds
shall be increased and provide a larger habitat for wildlife.
The parking for this facility is located away from the highway and will
be screened by existing landscaping and buildings.
All of this will provide an esthetically pleasing project that provides
family recreation and appeal while maintaining a low impact on the
existing environment for northern Colorado.
James Stephens and Donald D. Smith propose to lease this property
from Phil and Loren Collins for approximately 10 years, with an option to
purchase at that time.
This facility will employ four (4) full time employees and three to
four (3-4) part time employees.
Upon careful and detailed analysis of the golfing population, area
population and the growth of golf, and executive golf course would prosper
in this area.
In our opinion, this project is very compatible with the current city
land use policy and presents no conflicts.
The fairways on this golf course will be perennial rye grass which
requires approximately Forty percent (40%) less watering. The rough area
will be left in a natural state, with a links type of appeal. The course
watering shall be purchased thru the Louden Ditch Company. Runoff water
shall be detained on site and used for additional course watering. All
other existing utilities shall remain as is.
