MOUNTAIN STATES PROPERTIES (80-A @37) Request: Rezoning from FA-Farming to R-2-Residential Location: Between Vine and LaPorte, west of Taft Hill Road (IMr. Pedas reviewed the request, noting that R-2-Residential zoning would allow single famil units on lots 7500 square feet in size and duplexes on lots 15,000 square feet in size. Th isingle family lots would probably be compatible with existing development in the area. The (care, however, several marshy areas on the property, as well as a major irrigation canal, which would indicate that t're PUD process, rather than a straight subdivision, would be a more desirable development tool. As the property lies adjacent to the City of Fort Collins ;city standards should be required. !Jerry Nix, present for the discussion, explained that three property owners, Messrs. Bodell ~IKing and Hendrickson have joined together in the cooperative request aimed at improving the ~~area. The zone proposed would allow compatible density with existing areas; property value ~~will be enhanced; adequate engineering will be assured through the subdivision process; ~~proper planning will take place in anticipation of annexation; this "filling-in" proposal ~Iwill make use of existing utilities; traffic flow in the area will be improved.
