RE: Shoreline P.U.D. (Replat of Tract "L" of the Second Replat of The
Landings P.U.D., Filing 4).
Dear Jim:
I am writing to request a variance to the City Standard for street cross
sections as shown on page D-1 of the City of Fort Collins Design Criteria
and Standards for Streets dated July, 1986.
The variance requested is that the street in Shoreline P.U.D. be 28
feet of pavement in a 46 foot right—of—way instead of the standard 36 feet
of pavement in a 54 foot right—of—way.
This street is a 450 foot long cul—de—sac serving 12 lots. All lots
are to have a double garage and double driveway to provide off—street parking.
Also, a foot bridge is to be constructed over the drain ditch at the south
end of the cul—de—sac to provide pedestrian access to the parking lot of
the Boardwalk Area. This will provide overflow parking for a party.
There are some large trees on the site, and the narrowing of the street
will allow more of the trees to be retained.
In my opinion, this variance from the City Street Width Standards will
not cause a hazardous situation to the public.

RE: Street Design for Shoreline P.U.D.
Upon further review of the Shoreline P.U.D., the City Engineering Divi-
sion has decided to recommend denial of the request for variance to allow
a non-standard street width. The current standard is 36 foot wide resi-
dential streets and the Developer is proposing a 28 foot wide street.
The narrow street will have single family housing on both sides with only
the standard 2 off-street parking areas per house. The Engineering Divi-
sion recognizes a strong potential of parking on both sides of the
street, leaving only one lane open for traffic to move though the devel-
opment.
After re-evaluating the request for the variance to be granted for the
sub -standard street, the Engineering Division has decided this is not
acceptable, and the request for the variance does not justify the sub-
standard street design. Therefore the Engineering Division is recommend-
ing denial of the 28' wide street request.
