Re: Hidden Pond Estates Request for Variance #2 — Attached Walk on Ziegler Road
Dear Susan:
The following is a request for variance from Figure 7-2F — 4-Lane Arterial Street Typical
Section in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October, 2002". Adjacent to the
site's private drive connection to Ziegler; the street has an existing attached sidewalk that is
proposed to remain. This is the same variance that was approved for the Feather Ridge
Development in 2004. That development will not be going forward and the land is now proposed
for urban estate residential lots. I have reviewed the plans for the Bayer Property and none of
their construction will change the need for this variance.
Typically, it would be necessary to detach the sidewalk with a project of this nature. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, it is apparent that the large number and size of existing
utility structures at the existing drive connection resulted in the current configuration (attached
walk). There is no area behind the walk that is absent of utility structures.
The proposed drive connection will have radial returns and will bring the handicap ramps back
and away from Ziegler Road (similar to what a detached walk provides). At the north and south
edges of the new drive, the walks will be tied to the existing, attached walks.
Because the sidewalk configuration is an existing, functional condition, and because the crossing
of the drive will be greatly improved with this project, it is not anticipated that this variance from
the Standard will compromise the public health, safety, or welfare.
Please call if you have any questions or need any additional information for the approval of this
variance.
Sincerely,
Michael Oberlander, PE
