Re: Planning Objectives - Preliminary and Final P.U.D.
Fort Collins Orthopedic Clinic
Dear City Staff and Planning & Zoning Members,
A preliminary and final site plan for an expansion of the Fort Collins
Orthopedic Clinic is submitted for your review. Located within the
Riverside Commercial P.U.D. The tract is a .51 acre site bordered on the
south by the existing Orthopedic Clinic, Riverside Avenue to the northeast
and an existing medical office on Lot 4 and its proposed addition on Lot
4A of Riverside Commerical P.U.D., are located directly north.
The proposed Orthopedic Clinic will compliment the existing clinic by pro-
viding an additional 5,300 sq. ft. of physical therapy space. A well
landscaped plaza links the entry to the new clinic to the back entry of the
present building. While the existing clinic does have its primary parking
off Elizabeth Street both clinics will share parking within half acre
site.
The new clinic will be similar in character to a health club with full phy-
sical therapy supervision. Features include both a lap pool and whirlpool
along the south window wall, weight equipment and stationary bicycles located
within the physical therapy work area, private exam rooms, and locker
rooms with showers and dressing area. Supervision will be provided by a
doctor and additional nursing and support staff.
This facility will be compatible in architectural appearance to the present
clinic. Materials will include both wood siding and brick. The roof will
be pitched.
The site is designed for convenient and safe access for patients and
employees. An agreement with neighboring land owners is being negotiated to
allow for a direct loop drive connecting Riverside Avenue with Central
Drive, and to eliminate an extraneous curb cut.
Our goal is to build a project that is visually attractive and an asset to
our community. We look forward to working with the City throughout the
development process.
Sincerely,
Frank Vaught
