HomeMy WebLinkAboutTHE GROVE AT FORT COLLINS - PDP - 16-10B - CORRESPONDENCE - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING (17)Page 2 of 2 81 2010 and has completed one round of development review. At the open house neighbors will have the opportunity to talk "up close and personal" with the developers and members of their design team about various aspects of the project. It is my understanding that there will be multiple stations at the open house. Members of the public that attend will be able to get more detailed information about the revised PDP than could be presented at a neighborhood meeting. Also, it is possible that revised PDP plans could be submitted to the City prior to the open house and that would initiate a second round of development review. Please let me know if and how I can be of further assistance.

Concerns have been raised in our neighborhood that the January 2011 neighborhood meeting was not sufficient for informing the neighborhood about how The Grove will move forward as an ODP was not in place at that time. We would request that a new neighborhood meeting occur after the new ODP is submitted (and a new PDP if that occurs as well) so that the neighborhoods can hear about altered/new development plans and respond to and/or question them. In your email, it mentions an open house: "....an open house that the developers, their design team, and IBE are planning to hold in the near future. They intend to invite the neighbors and other interested parties to this open house, presumably to be scheduled for late March or early April." We appreciate an opportunity to hear what the developers, design team, and IBE have to say. I would assume this is not an 'official' neighborhood information meeting and would not take the place of such an informational gathering. If I am incorrect, please let me know. I thank you for your time and your attention to our request.

I just had one question in regards to the open house. Would it be possible and appropriate to have both the ODP and the PDP detailed at that meeting? I think it would be helpful for attendees to be provided a holistic view of the project. Again, thank you for your time.

The need for a new ODP is because The Grove at Fort Collins, Project Development Plan (PDP) must conform to an ODP of record. Due to a proposed realignment of Rolland Moore Drive through the property and the elimination of a Northerland Drive local street connection between Rolland Moore Drive and Gilgalad Way it is necessary for a new ODP to be approved that would demonstrate conformance with the PDP. I'm sure that this was stated at the January 18th neighborhood meeting. Staff had not planned to schedule another neighborhood meeting for a new ODP because apparently there have been no substantive changes to their plan since the last meeting. For your information, a new Amended CSURF Centre for Advanced Technology ODP was just submitted this afternoon, March 30th. Based on this submittal date the item will be discussed at a staff review meeting on Wednesday morning, April 20th. The developer & applicant are willing to discuss the possibility of holding another neighborhood meeting if there appears to be a reasonable purpose for the meeting. With regards to the proposed "open house" that will be facilitated by IBE, Campus Crest and their design team, that is going to occur the evening of Wednesday, April 27th and will be held at the Hilton Hotel on West Prospect Road. At that open house the developer will be presenting changes to the PDP that was submitted on December 3/31/2011
