Mark;
On behalf of the Everitt Companies, I would like to request a variance to the City of Fort
Collins design standards for a proposed local street in the Oakridge Business Park. The
proposed street will be located cast of Lemay Avenue and will connect Oakridge Drive
and Wheaton Drive. The requested variance is for a reduction of the centerline radius
from the required 240' to 153'. The horizontal curve is located approximately 200'
northwest the proposed intersection with Wheaton Drive. The variance is being
requested based on existing restrictions and the desire to create usable building pad
locations. The curve is located reasonably close to an intersection to expect a reduction
in speed as the motorists approach the intersection.
An additional variance is being requested regarding the location of the medians in the
proposed street mentioned above. The City standards require that medians be set back
20' from the ilowline of the intersecting street. The proposed medians are located at 12'
from the flowline of the intersecting street in order to provide a refuge for pedestrians
crossing the street.
If you have questions regarding this request, please contact me at 686-6939.

Variance Requests
The variance requests for the Fort Collins Youth Clinic appear to be reasonable, and would produce no
adverse safety problems. However, the first request for allowing a centerline radius of 153 feet will be
conditioned upon the acquisition of a sight distance easement as you recommend, plus that side of the
street will need to be restricted against allowing on -street parking in the area where the sight distance
easement is established.
Just as a general note on processing variance requests, please be sure to route them thru Dave for his
review before they come to me. That needs to apply to development agreements, mylars, permits, etc, as
well, if you have not been doing that.
