COUNTY REFERRAL.
3.A. Tundra View Apartments, East Side of Elm Road, Jim
Nvtes/Applicant. Applicant's Representative Griffith
Johnston, Johnston Engineering, reported that the property is
currently being operated as a gravel quarry. Upon completion
of this operation scheduled within the year, the Applicant has
proposed a low income, multi-family apartment complex,
consisting of 80 units in a mix of 24 one-bedroom, 44 two-
bedroom and 12 three-bedroom units. Commissioner concerns
included the sparse detail of the submitted plan, the lack of
topographical layout, reclamation requirements, the safety
factors created by the steep cuts in the hillside.
Representative Johnston reported the Development Plan will
contain the details, including the topographical information,
and the Applicant is aware of the potential safety hazard; he
will address those issues. Planner Joseph clarified that this
Application is in the first level of concept technical review
with Larimer County, and the Town Planning Commission will
have an opportunity to review this proposal in greater detail
and comment to the County at a later date as the Application
proceeds through the planning process. This proposal was
routed to the Town Planning Commission at this point for
comments regarding the general concept such as land use and
compatibility with the neighborhood. Joseph _ distributed
copies of the existing and proposed land use vicinity map.
This site is within an area that was targeted for residential
use in the Town's current Comprehensive Plan. Joseph
recommended that the five existing lots on this site be
consolidated into one single lot. It was moved and seconded
(Pohl-Burgess) that Staff be directed to advise Larimer County
that the Planning Commission finds this project acceptable and
recommends consolidation of the five lots into one lot,
requesting the opportunity to review the project when
additional details are available, and it passed unanimously.
4. REPORTS

Secretary replacing Carolyn Jones.
Paul Kochevar requested the Commission's opinion regarding the
use of 11" X 14" plats in place of the full-size plats. After
some discussion, it was the Commission's consensus that the
full-sized plats be provided to the Commission, and the
reduced size be provided for mailings to property owners.
There being no further business. Chairman Sager adjourned the
meeting at 2:22 p.m.
