Subject: Falcon Ridge Preliminary Review. Response to staff comments dated April 22, 1994.
Dear Mr. Olt:
Regarding item number l0a from the Planning Department, we would like to point out that the
gross acreage being developed in this project is 19.17 acres and we have proposed 60 units which
meets the minimum of at least three dwelling units per acre. The existing farm house located on
2. 32 acres is to remain separate and not a part of the development.
Should a variance still be required we would like to point out that we are significantly restrained
in our ability to increase the total number of lots due to existing conditions and other city
department requests. To maintain proper distance between street intersections, preserve mature
trees, and accommodate a 6" regional gas line, we have proposed what we and many other city
departments feel to be the best alternative. Additionally, we are the highest density, single
family project in the immediate area. We respectively request a variance, if in fact we need one,
to the minimum density requirement referred to in your comments.
Regarding item number 10e, we hereby request a variance to the Solar Orientation Ordinance for
many of the reason previously mentioned regarding item 10a. In addition, the subject property is
aligned generally in a North/South direction, requiring at least one major North/South street
with homes facing East and West.
Should the City of Fort Collins desire us to cut down the majority of the mature trees on this site,
we may be able to redesign the street layout to accommodate this ordinance. We respectively
request that the trees be preserved and our proposal be accepted as submitted and a variance
granted.
If you have any questions, please be sure to give me a call.
