The property has an existing trash enclosure that has been in use for many years. The existing enclosure serves other
buildings within the Poudre Plaza PUD. Due to limited space along the Arbor Avenue frontage with the existing retention
area and walls there is no other location to build a new structure. Existing plantings in front of the dumpster enclosure
shall remain in place as well as new plantings that will be added.
MODIFICATION REQUESTED:
The existing structure shall be allowed to remain in its existing location (8’-0” from R.O.W.) and be expanded to serve the

MODIFICATION JUSTIFICATION:
by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations, unique to such property,
including, but not limited to, physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness or topography, or physical
conditions which hinder the owner’s ability to install a solar energy system, the strict application of the standard sought

or, and will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2.
The property has limited areas that meet the requirements fro Light and Power access to the transformer. The transformer
needs to be within 10’ of a vehicular drive aisle. The previously proposed location along Arbor Avenue was denied by
Light and Power. Light and Power has indicated that this island would be where the transformer needs to be in order to
be serviceable. Due to the size of the transformer and required clearances a tree is not able to fit in the island.
Building perimeter tree stocking is proposed above the required amount of 12 to the provided quantity of 22 (+10 trees).
MODIFICATION REQUESTED:
Parking island tree requirement shall be offset by increased building perimeter tree stocking.
