Dear Mr. Strom: On behalf of Paragon Point P.U.D., Jim Sell Design requests a variance for the solar orientation requirement that 65 % of the lots be oriented with the front lot line within 30 degrees of true east -west. The proposed development has 19 of 50 lots with the required orientation, or 38%. We are requesting this variance on the basis of the variance criteria shown in Sec 29-627(a): (1) Exceptional topographic conditions. The layout of Phase 3 is controlled by the alignment of Paragon Place, which was approved in Phase 1. Cul-de-sacs oriented east -west off this street would result in streets with too steep a grade and lots with an appreciable side slope. (3) Proposed plan is equal to or better than plan with provision. The open space network established in earlier phases is supported exceptionally-well-by-the-proposed-plan,-especially=as-regards-access to other parts of the development, the central open space along - Fossil Creek and the recreational facilities near the intersection of Lemay and Paragon Place. The orientation and location of these pedestrian facilities offers less chance of auto/pedestrian conflicts than would those associated with shorter and more numerous east - west cul-de-sacs. 2 SellD S,"j��I . If you or the Board have any questions or desire additional information, please call at Your convenience. Sincerely, JIM SELL DESIGN timell nn Ave 80524 FW bdU121 (303)48'
