Project Reviewers,
The City of Fort Collins, Park Planning and Development Division is submitting the Soft Gold
Neighborhood Park project for the Basic Development Review process.
Soft Gold Park's physical address is 520 Hickory Street. Soft Gold Park is a 17-acre
neighborhood park that is located in the northwest quadrant of Fort Collins. Hickory Village
Mobile Courts borders the east side of the park site. Magpie Meander Natural Area boundary
adjoins the park site along the west boundary. A farmed agricultural use property owned by Don
Willox borders the park site along the northern boundary. And existing Hickory Street R.O.W.
borders the southern boundary of the park property.
The existing zoning for the area is POL — Public Open Lands. The park is an allowed use per the
Land Use Code and the plan meets the criteria for a neighborhood park set by the City of Fort
Collins Parks and Recreation Policy Plan.
Soft Gold Park Development Schedule:
The park is scheduled to start construction in summer of 2003. Park construction will run
through the winter and wrap up in the spring/summer of 2004 when landscaping and seeding can
be completed.
If there are any questions concerning the project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jas n StutzmtI-rjeanagerCity ofFort Planning and Development

RE: Hickory Street Extension at Soft Gold Park
This memo commits the City of Fort Collins, Park Planning and Development
Department to pay for the appropriate street improvement costs for Soft Gold Park,
should Hickory Street be extended across the park site frontage in the future. Funding for
the improvements will be available and held in the Neighborhood Parkland Account.
We have prepared a preliminary roadway design for Hickory Street per the Engineering
Department's requests. All involved staff understands the Hickory Street extension
schedule could be many years in the future and that the preliminary roadway design is an
appropriate level of design at this time.
The park site has been designed to avoid placing any park improvements in the planned
right-of-way area per the current City street standard for Hickory Street.
If you should need any additional information, please let me know.
