RE: The District at CSU
Dear Emma,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the potential project located near Shields
and Elizabeth called "The District at CSU".
As an owner in the adjacent Sunstone Condominiums located directly north of the proposed
development I have many valid concerns regarding the approval of this project. The
projects 58' tall parking structure will be located directly south of my property in the
Sunstone Condominiums. These concerns include the following issues:
• Blocked'Sunlight
• Noise pollution from vehicle traffic in garage.
• Noise pollution from roof mounted mechanical / HVAC equipment.
• Light Trespass/pollution
• Visual impact of a 58' Tall Structure
• Decreased Property Value
As a professional in the built environment I understand and appreciate the efforts and value
that go into a project of this nature. However as an adjacent property owner my concerns
are large enough that I must communicate them to the City of Fort Collins.
Based on the plans presented at the 8/31/11 Public Meeting, the 58' foot tall Parking
Structure will abut the southern property line of the Sunstone Condominium complex. The
parking structure will be located approximately 40' away from the existing Sunstone
Condominiums. A 58' tall structure will virtually block all sunlight from late October thru
early April casting shadows not only on the Sunstone Condominiums Parking Lot, but onto
the buildings as well. This will create a substantial snow removal problem as well as an ice
build up problem in the parking lot. There is no doubt that it will increase snow removal
