❑ Name and Address of each property owner within boundaries -This
entire site is owned jointly by the State of Colorado and the Larimer
County BOCES. This information will be included on the Application
Form. No separate submittal is required.
❑ List of Names of all general and limited partners - This entire site is
owned jointly by the State of Colorado and the Larimer County BOCES.
No separate submittal is required.
❑ Development Phasing Schedule - Development Phasing is not part of
the parking lot expansion. The construction of the parking lot expansion
will be conducted during this summer while the majority of the students
are away.
❑ Site Plan Drawings - The overall Site Plan showing the landscaping and
new parking will be provided. We will submit six (6) copies for your
review.
❑ Architectural Elevations - The parking lot expansion project does not
include any building structures. The City's current aerial photography or
GIS data will be sufficient to show existing conditions. FRCC will not be
providing additional photos.
❑ Landscape Plan - The proposed landscaping improvements will be
shown on the Site Plan mentioned above. No separate submittal is
required.
❑ Transportation Impact Analysis - Because no new school programs or
buildings are proposed for this project, the number of students or vehicles
will not increase due to the paving of the existing gravel parking lots. In
addition to paving these two lots and improving internal traffic circulation,
the project will correct the existing misaligned intersection at the Shields
Street and Westbury Drive/Harmony Library/FRCC West Entrance
intersection (see attached). FRCC, at its sole expense, will realign the
Harmony Library/FRCC West Entrance with Westbury Drive across
Shields Street during construction to provide easier access for the library
patrons and FRCC students. FRCC will relocate the Transfort Bus Stop
from an internal location to a convenient location on Shields Street further
reducing the traffic at the intersection. Additional work in the Shields Street
right-of-way is not anticipated or funded with this project. Accordingly, a
Traffic Impact Analysis submittal is not warranted for this project.
❑ Utility Plans - No public utility changes are anticipated with this project;
therefore, there are currently no public utility plans to submit. In the event

RE: Project Status and City Submittals
Reconfiguration and Expansion of Parking Lots and Traffic Flow Improvements
Front Range Community College — Larimer Campus (FRCC)
Dear Mr. Gloss,
This letter will provide you with an update for the above referenced project and
document our understanding of the City submittal and approval process. As you
are aware, FRCC currently has two gravel parking lots that need to be paved. In
addition, there are numerous pedestrian and vehicle safety issues that need to
be addressed as soon as possible. No building additions or major site revisions
are proposed with this project.
We met with Shelby Sommer, Associate Planner with the City of Fort Collins on
March 1, 2006. We discussed the nature of State projects and jurisdictional
submittal issues. It was suggested to us that the project be submitted under an
advisory review process. We discussed the Submittal Checklist for the Site Plan
Advisory Review (see attached copy). The following is a summary of how each
will be addressed by FRCC for the City advisory review.
❑ Application Form - This form will be filled out and submitted.
❑ Three Lists of Property Owners within 500' of the site - In lieu of
address lists, FRCC will be contacting adjoining property owners along the
south and east property lines of the FRCC site. Each adjoining property
owner will be given a flyer notifying them of a project presentation meeting
March 21, 2006 from 6:00 p.m. — 7:00 p.m. at the FRCC Longs Peak
Building Student Center.
❑ Statement of Planning Objectives - We will provide a narrative that will
discuss the overall needs and scope of the project
