To whom it may concern:
January 15, 1991
Enclosed is a site plan and landscape plan of the proposed sorority
at Bluebell Avenue and Baystone Drive which were sent to the City
Zoning Department for review and comment. The plans are marked
with comments from the City Zoning, Engineering, Planning and
Forestry Departments and Poudre Fire Authority. Listed below is an
outline of those comments.
Zoning/Forestry
1) Shrubs must be added in 5 the foot wide
landscape buffer adjacent to fence in order to
meet parking lot landscape requirements.
2) Building height is limited to 40 feet by code.
Poudre Fire Authority
1) Complete alarm and fire sprinkler systems are
required. A fire hydrant must be located______
within 75 feet of the fire sprinkler
connection.
Engineering
1) At both access points drive cuts must be
installed instead of a driveway with radii to
reduce turning speeds.
2) A Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan showing
all public improvements, (sidewalks, drive
cuts, etc..) must be provided.

Planning - suggestions
1) A shared access with parking lot to the north
would be advantageous, curb - cut on the curve
would not have to be built.
2) Foundation plantings are sparse, especially to
west and south of building.
3) A landscape treatment to the west of the
building would serve well as a buffer from the
corner of Bluebell and Baystone.
4) Ponderosa Pine in 6 foot wide planting island
will create problems for cars parking on
either side of the island if the tree gets to
be large.
Should you have any further questions please call me at 221-6760.
Sincerely,
