RE: Variance request for minimum street and right-of-way at
Prospect Greens P.U.D.
Dear Mike:
This letter is a request for a variance to the minimum street
width and right-of-way standard as referenced in Section 1.02.10 of
the City of Fort Collins Design Criteria (July, 1986) for the above
referenced project. This standard calls for a minimum street width
of 28' flowline to flowline on a 46' right-of-way.
This standard cannot be met due to the proposed projects
geometry (long and narrow), required setback, utility easements and
on -street parking requirements. The proposed project was carefully
designed to allow room for on -street parking in carefully located
parallel parking areas while maintaining garage set -back
requirements (201) and pedestrian circulation/access. The design
allows for a minimum of 20' flowline to flowline width, with a 42,
right-of-way. A 20' clear area is maintained for emergency access
and unimpeded traffic circulation, free of parked vehicles or
pedestrian traffic. The street frontage outside of the parallel
parking areas will be posted with no parking signs. This design
allows for generous on and off-street parking, 32 spaces will be
provided for garage (covered) parking along with 17 parallel
parking spots in designated areas only. A total of 49 parking
spots have been created, or 2.88 spaces/unit, a ratio that is
almost double the minimum requirement for most multi -family
projects.
