It is adjacent to two single family residential projects; Greenbriar to the east and Greenbriar Village Second Filing to the west, and in close proximity to a major employment center, a planned neighborhood commercial center, a neighborhood park and significant City owned open space. Reviewing the GOALS AND OBJECTIVES and the LAND USE POLICIES PLAN of the City of Fort Collins reveals several areas of close conformance: 1. We are locating a higher density project in what appears to be a very appropriate place. 2. We are providing a mixed density housing project located close to environment and shopping. 3 We are locating our in -fill project close to existing city infrastructure such as utilities, parks, mass transit and open space. The following is an outline of how the project more specifically follows in relation to the appropriate elements of the City's COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The "LAND USE POLICIES PLAN" is one element of the City of Fort Collins' "COMPREHENSIVE PLAN". The foundational element of the Comprehensive Plan is the Statement of "GOALS AND OBJECTIVES" adopted by the City in 1977. This statement clearly delineates the City's Goals as they relate to northeast Fort Collins in several sections. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Promote increased development in the north and northeastern areas of the City. Encourage increased residential development of the northeastern area in order to support and direct the redevelopment of the area. Provide a rational pattern of land use for the older parts of the City which promotes the integrated redevelopment and development of business, industrial, and residential areas in the northern and northeastern areas of the City. LAND USE. * Encourage residential, commercial, and industrial development in the northeastern area of Fort Collins in a manner conducive to the desirable redevelopment of North College Avenue and the central City, especially downtown. * Promote the definite location and construction of the Highway 287 bypass. * Encourage the location and development of a service oriented shopping area including a supermarket in the northern part of the City compatible with the objectives of redevelopment. * Urban Development in the urban service area should be consistent with the provision of utilities, schools, parks, and other public services and preferably contiguous to existing development. * Encourage housing development within the City and immediately adjacent to the City. * Encourage urban density residential development to occur within the City. * Use open space as a buffer between conflicting land uses and to preserve neighborhood identity. * Encourage joint use of drainage facilities, such as open channels and detention ponds for open space purposes. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. * Encourage the development of a future land use plan which deals sensitively with the relationships between the man- made and natural environments. * Support with subsidies if necessary, public transit in the Fort Collins area, and facilitate bicycling, walking and car-pooling. Develop small neighborhood parks and greenspaces throughout the City to provide both recreational and non - recreational open space. Coordinate the development of facilities and parks within redevelopment areas with increased population densities. THE LAND USE POLICIES PLAN GENERAL POLICIES. 3. The City shall promote A. Maximum utilization of land within City B. Alternative transportation modes C. ...Efficient mass transit systems ... D. Location of residential development close to environment, recreation and shopping facilities. GROWTH MANAGEMENT. 12. Urban density residential development usually at three or more units to the acre should be encouraged in the urban growth area. 26. Availability of existing services shall be used as a criteria in determining the location of higher intensity areas in the City. 39. The City should direct efforts to promote improved traffic and pedestrian circulation and public transit to areas north and northeast of the City. 40. The City should promote the utilization of existing vacant land in the northeast by offering incentives such as utility and infrastructure provisions or revenue bonds and tax increment financing. 41. The City should encourage residential development in the northeast, particularly giving special consideration to the undeveloped industrially zoned land in the area adjacent to the existing residential areas. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. 49. The City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN shall be directed toward minimizing the use of private automobiles and toward alleviating and mitigating the air quality impacts of concentrated use of automobiles. 50. Mass transit should be used as a tool which leads development patterns, rather than following growth. LOCATIONAL POLICIES FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES. 64. Alternative transportation modes such as pedestrian and bike access shall be planned for as primary modes of transportation to neighborhood service centers from adjoining residential uses. 75. Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities. 76. Density bonuses should be provided to developers who provide low and moderate income housing. 78. Residential development should be directed into areas with reinforces the phasing plan in the Urban Growth Area. 79. Low density residential uses should locate in areas: a. Which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers; b. Which have easy access to major employment centers; c. Within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school; d. Within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park and within easy access to a community park; and e. In which a collector street affords the primary access. 80. Higher density residential uses should locate: a. Near the core area, regional/community shopping centers, CSU main campus, or the hospital; b. Within close proximity to community or neighborhood park facilities; C. Where water and sewer facilities can be adequately provided; d. Within easy access to major employment centers; e. With access to public transportation; and f. In areas with provisions for alternative modes of transportation. 82. Higher density residential uses should locate in planned unit developments or in close proximity to existing higher density areas. All open space areas have been designed to be privately owned and maintained. We have no plans for business, commercial or industrial uses other than any service business that might in the future operate as a functional part of the residential development. Any employment which might result from these endeavors would be minor in nature and any guess as to the numerical equivalent would be purely circumspect. We have accumulated the property designated in the overall development plan (ODP) and designed the initial phase of the project to be a natural extension of the existing development. The properties east of our development have been developed as single family and duplex residential with the inclusion of a major neighborhood park and major open spaces. West of our plan lies higher density residential development, a major office and industrial park. and a major retail development along College Avenue. North of the development lies a small area of highway business zoning, a major irrigation canal and wetlands areas. Our southern neighbor is a health care related project containing both educational and residential functions as well as a major drainage lake. We are compensating not only for its obvious detention capabilities, but also as a natural open space amenity to our neighborhood.

Please be informed that this letter does not relieve the developer, contractors, lot owners or their contractors of their responsibility for repair of any damage that may occur as a result of the building construction. Sincere Gary Martins n Engineering onstruction Inspector cc: Gerrard Excavating, Inc., Mr. Floyd Danczak ='ll Frrt Transp `.ation Services Engineering Department City of Fort Collins September 5, 1997 Bayberry Development, Limited Liability Company Edward Zdenek Edward Lawler 2120 South College Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Dear Mr. Zdenek and. Mr. Lawler: The purpose of this letter is to clarify the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department's position regarding building permits and certificates of occupancy at the Greenbriar Village 3rd P.U.D. Development. Prior to obtaining any future building permits at Greenbriar Village 3rd, Bayberry Drive must be constructed to the road base stage for its entire length and width. This shall be defined as all subgrade being prepared, tested, and accepted for the placement of road base. Road base shall then be placed to the final grades; tested and accepted for the placement of asphalt pavement. If the requested building permit is on Cranberry Court or Thimbleberry Court the above requirements shall also apply to the entire Court as well as Bayberry drive. Prior to obtaining any future certificates of occupancy at Greenbriar Village 3rd the following requirements must be satisfied: 1. Replace all deficient concrete improvements prior to any adjacent paving being placed. 2. Pave the bottom lift for the entire length and width of Bayberry Drive, and the entire surface of any Court the property may take access from. 3. Replace any deficient asphalt pavement improvements. 4. Pave the top lift of asphalt pavement for the entire length and width of Bayberry Drive and the entire surface of any Court the property may take access from, or escrow 150% of the cost to complete the top lift for the required areas.' 5. All required signage shall be installed. b. The Engineering final inspection shall be scheduled and performed and all requirements met. Regarding existing concrete improvements in the development the following shall be required: 1. All curb, gutter, sidewalk, crosspans and aprons shall be cleaned to allow the City to inspect these improvements for deficiency's. 2. Any curb, gutter, sidewalk, crosspans or aprons deemed deficient by the City shall be replaced prior to any adjacent paving being placed. ��l '�wrh CIkec Avenue • PO- &u ;80 • For[ Collins, CO 80;22-0580 • (970) 221-h605 With regard to the existing street improvements in the development; it is the City's opinion that allowing Bayberry Drive and Cranberry Court to remain in their present condition through the months of July and August has compromised the subgrade beneath the remaining asphalt pavement. Although it is our preference that all remaining asphalt pavement be removed and the subgrade and base course re -prepared concurrently with the edges of the street, we are willing to allow the following: 1. All existing pavement shall be cleaned to allow the City to inspect the improvements for deficiency's. This shall be done after all subgrade and base course materials have been placed, tested and approved along the North and South edges of Bayberry and Cranberry Court, but prior to any paving. All deficiency's will be identified for replacement. 2. A proof roll shall be performed on the remaining asphalt pavement. Again this shall be done after all subgrade and base course materials have been placed, tested and approved along the North and South edges of Bayberry and Cranberry Court, but prior to any paving. All deficiency's will be identified for replacement. 3. Due to concerns with the existing cross slope on Bayberry, verify the existing pavement is constructed according to plan and submit written documentation of this to the City. All deficiency's will be identified for replacement. 3. After the bottom lift of asphalt pavement has been placed and patched and prior to the top lift being placed, a layer of paving fabric shall be placed over the entire length and width of Bayberry Drive and Cranberry Court. 4. The top lift of asphalt pavement shall be placed immediately following the installation of the paving fabric. I appreciate your cooperation regarding these issues. If you have any questions or comments please contact me at 221-6605. Sincerely c Todd Juergen Lead Construction :Inspector cc:Rick Richter Dave Stringer Mike Herzig Paul Eckman
