SUBJECT: Willows at Rigden Farm — attachment of"motor court" units
Mr. Colasanti:
Based upon the discussion at last Friday's (8/17/2001) utility coordination meeting involving your
development team, in conjunction with representatives from the City's Engineering and Planning
Departments as well as the Light and Power and Water/Wastewater City Utilities, it was concluded that the
attaching of the two standard "6-plex" single-family attached "motor court" units to form one "12-plex"
attached unit may be beneficial in meeting both utility servicing and street tree landscaping requirements.
As this conclusion did not involve other City Departments, I followed up the discussion of this past
meeting with an email to the entire review team internal to the City requesting their input. This request was
sent to the following City departments: Advance Planning, Current Planning, Light & Power, Natural
Resources, Police, Poudre Fire Authority, Stormwater, Transportation Planning, Water/Wastewater;
and Zoning. Regarding this request, two questions were asked: 1) Is there a concern with attaching the
two "motor court" units to form one "12-plex" type building; and 2) Is there a concern with regards to the
fact that this "12-plex" will now be single family attached dwellings (instead of the multi -family
designation from the last round), with each dwelling being on its own lot, with the exception of two lots in
each standard "12-plex" which will each be a duplex?
Based upon the comments received, the consensus is that both questions are not a concern and that there is
no objection from the City in continuing with your proposal of attaching the buildings as well as creating
single family attached lots instead of multi -family. This is assuming that all applicable code requirements
are complied with pertaining to this change in design.
Let me know of any concerns or questions regarding this.
Respectfully,
arc Virata
