Our client for this project is Spanjer Construction Corporation. The specific area of concern is along the easterly boundary of the project. A 6' sidewalk has been requested to be installed along the westerly side of the frontage road. Currently, the existing Right -of -Way is approximately V west of the existing back of curb. There is also an existing 10' utility easement west of the Right -of -Way line. Therefore, the developer would either need to dedicate additional Right -of -Way to accommodate the new sidewalk, or he would need to dedicate a 5' pedestrian access easement on top of the existing utility easement. Given the unique constraints of the existing site, and the nature of the proposed improvements, dedication of additional Right -of -Way would be detrimental to the site layout. After some discussion with City staff, and the affected utilities, the idea of a combined easement was suggested, and was generally agreed to be a feasible alternative. Therefore, on behalf of our client, we are requesting a variance to City standards to allow a pedestrian easement be dedicated within the existing utility easement, instead of dedicating additional Right -of -Way. We feeljustitied in requesting the variance. This allows pedestrian and utility access while optimizing the space of the site. We do not feel that this variance will be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, nor will it cause conflict between the easements.

The variance request to Table 7-3, minimum distance between driveway and a street intersection has been granted. The driveways for lots 90, 108, and 63 may be constructed as shown. The variance request to Table 7-3, minimum 12' distance between driveway edges has been granted. The driveways may have less than the 12' distance between them because of their cul-de-sac location. The variance to section 9.4.2 requiring that driveway approaches intersect at 90 degrees, plus or minus 10 degrees has been granted. The driveway approaches may be constructed as shown on the plans. This variance request does not set a precedence or change the application of our design standards in other situations. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Joy at 221- 6605.

The following information was prepared in compliance with the Submittal Requirements for type I Project Development Plan Review for commercial sites. Spanjer Office Building is located at Cameron Drive, adjacent to the College Avenue frontage road. The property is currently zoned C-commercial and is a vacant lot. The zoning for the property is to remain commercial. The total project is approximately .45 acres in size. A 3613 s.f. office building is proposed with a 920 s.f. storage unit The building will be occupied by Spanjer Construction and one other office tenant. In general, the site slopes from the northwest to the southeast. The landscaping will be designed to meet a 6% internal landscape requirement and incorporate xeriscape principles where applicable. The landscape will also serve functional uses such as screening near property lines or enhancing views into and out of the site. Standard street tree spacing is used on Cameron Drive but can not be incorporated along the frontage road due to the existing utility easement. Parking will be contained within the site and will include nine standard spaces and one handicap accessible space. Please see accompanying engineering report for a description of existing and proposed utilities including sewage disposal, water supply, stormwater facilities, and fire protection. Also see engineering drainage reports. If you have any questions or comments regarding planning objectives, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

There are District water meter pits located within the easement. The meter pits cannot be located under the sidewalk or within 10 feet of landscaping, such as trees. The relocation of the meter pits must be done in accordance with District requirements and standards.

In accordance with detail 7-8F, the Developer is required to dedicate a 9' utility easement from the back of walk. The property in question is bordered on the east by the College Avenue Frontage Road (a modified Connector Local street with an attached walk) and the west by Cameron Drive (a Connector Local street). The variance is for overlapping the existing 10' utility and the proposed 6' attached sidewalk in order to preserve the platted site layout. This variance request was routed to the City's Light and Power, Stormwater, and Water/Wastewater departments, as well as PSCO/Excel, Qwest, AT&T, and the Fort Collins Water District. Only two utilities returned concerns, AT&T and the FCLWD. AT&T requires that two existing 2" PVC duct lines along the frontage road be relocated and the FCLWD requires that all District water meter pits be relocated behind the sidewalk and at least 10 feet away from landscaping, such as trees. Both of these items will be addressed at the Utility Coordination meeting to be scheduled prior to construction. No other utility or department had problems or concerns with granting this variance. It is my opinion that this variance can be supported based on the fact that the Utilities find it acceptable as long as their requirements are met and granting the overlapping utility easement and sidewalk will not adversely affect or harm the City of Fort Collins in any way. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and if you need any additional clarification. Sincerely, Susan Joy Enclosures
