Home My WebLink AboutALTA VISTA SECOND - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2003-07-31January 8, 1985 City or Fort Collins P.O. BOX 580 Fort Collins, CO. 80522 Attn: Elaine Kleckner Dear Elaine: I am writing to provide some additional information for our request to subdivide the parcel at 1018 East Vine into three single family lots. As you are aware, we are hoping to divide this parcel into three lots ani build three affordable housing units that will be sold to first time home buyers financed by the City of Fort Collins Con"uxnity Development Block Grant and the Colorado Housing Finance Authority. Our plans for this parcel are important bpcause:l) At this thime it is the only developable lot in the Alta Vista Neighborhood as the rest of the neighborhood lies in the flood way; 2) It is good utilization of land within the city limits; 3) The site is located at the entrance to the Alta Vista subdivision and has the potential for high impact within this redevelopment neighborhood; 4) This proposal would male a substantial contribution towards the efforts and investments that have already taken place (IE Housing Rehabilitation, Park, Streets). In regard to the variance request for street improvements, it is our belief that the three homes we would build would have a minimal impact on traffic in the area. On the average this development would produce about 9 trips/day. In your letter you mentioned it would be helpful to the City to address the dedication of the property that is bordered by Alta Vista Street on the East, Martinez Street on the West, Dry Creek on the South and two residential lots on the North. Dick Rutherford of James Stewart and Assoc. informed n,ethat the property appears to belong to Great Western Sugar Company. I spoke with Jack Futlon of Great Western and he was unaware that the company owned any property in Fort Collins. Mr. Futton appeared willing to cooperate but was unsure of where the company's records might be. He thought they were given to the University of Colorado Archives. We will continue to work on this between now and January 28th. Given the uncertainty of the records ti,e cannot guarantee that this will be coriipl eted by January 28th, but will proceed in good faith. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact Ben Herman, myself or Dick Rutherford. incerel lours, Steve W.

Barbier Executive Director Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc. 732 Alta Vista Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Steve: The Parks and Recreation Department staff has reviewed your proposal to donate a portion of your subdivision to the City. Since the pro- perty is adjacent to Alta Vista Park and has several large shade trees, it would make an attractive addition to the park. We would be glad to accept the area and we appreciate your efforts in this, matter. We will assume the maintenance on the site as soon as the deed is received. There is a possibility that this site of 47' x 82.5' could be improved in the future to provide some green space and perhaps a picnic area. Once again, thanks for your interest.

Barbier Executive Director CITY OF FORT COLLINS ENGINEERING SERVICES April 15, 1985 Benjamin A. Herman Neighbor to Neighbor 732 Alta Vista Fort Collins, CO 80524 RE: Alta Vista Subdivision, 2nd Filing Dear Mr. Herman: Some weeks ago the Engineering Construction Inspection Division released its Engineering hold on building permits for lots 1,2, and 3 in the Alta Vista 2nd Filing Subdivision. Since that time it has been brought to my attention that these permits can not be released until the following con- ditions have been meet. • The Developer needs to establish an escrow account with the City for 110;; of the estimated costs (approved by the City Engineer) for con- structing the improvements to Vine Drive and Alta Vista Street prior to the issuance of the first building permit. • Installation of water and sewer mains with services. • All storm drainage facilities shall be completed prior to the release of more than two (2) building permits. Please be informed that a hold has been placed upon the release of the building permits until the above conditions have been meet. Work may proceed with any phase of work allowed under the footing and foundation permits which have been issued. In addition, this office has received a utility plan which shows the installation of water and sewer facilities to service the lots within this development. City Code requires the installation of these utilities prior to the issuance of any building permits. It is suggested that this work begin immediately to insure the release of the building permits for these lots. I regret the inconvenience this may cause but the requirements of the subdivision agreement and the City Code must be complied with before a full building permit can be issued for any structure within this develop- ment.
