Arapaho Meadows Addition - Zoning; Chairman Sager declared a public hearing regarding the zoning for Arapaho Meadows Addition. Those speaking in favor of the recommend ed R-Residential Zone; Bill Van Horn, representing the petitioner. Dr. Sam Luce. Stating the R-Residential zone is consistent with existing Town zoning abutting the property, and considering the density which was relative to the characteristics of the neighborhood, the petitioner had no objection to R-Residential Zoning. Those speaking in oppo sition to R-Residential Zoning; Al Velthoen. The current Larimer County zoning is E-Estate which requires a minimum lot area of 2% acres per dwelling unit. R-Residential zoning would allow a maximum density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Velthoen requested the Town determine where low, medium and high density areas would occur, establishing a "transitional area" from Commercial to Residential properties. Ralph Read stated his opposition against poor development of any kind whereby construction of too many dwelling units on small pieces of land resulted in over-crowding. With approximately 200 acres of land in this addition, the opportunity exists to develop the land in good taste. Ray Lindsey inquired as to the possibility of developing the property under the planned unit development guidelines. No correspondence was received in favor of or in opposition to the R-Residential zoning. Planner Stamey summarized the staff report advising the Commission of base maps indicating zoning, the Comprehensive Plan Base Maps, and the Town Water Master Plan Map, which were being displayed for review. The land owners have requested zoning as follows; 1. Luce.................................R-1/ Residential 2. Watson............................R-2, Multiple Family 3.

The owners have expressed difficulty in meeting Item #2 of the staff rec ommendation: dedicate a 10' easement along the west bounda ry for roadway purposes because this recommendation will result in limited parking for the property owners.

Town Engineer Widmer stated that the remainder of Driftwood Avenue should be paved and that it would be extremely difficult to construct the paved street in the existing right-of-way.
