Leonard, DIRECTOR Transportation Region 3 Colorado Department of T~ansportation 222 South Sixth St., Room 311 Grand Junction, CO 81501-2769 (970}248-7225, Fax:(970)248-1254 September 1, 1999 Dear MI'. Leonard, We are very concerned about public safety issues at the intersection of Highway 40 with Eisenhower Drive, in Fraser, CO, and at the intersection of Highway 40 with County Road 8. We are requesting that you ask COOT to initiate traffic signal warrant studies, as Soon as possible, at these 2 intersections, during heavy traffic times. We believe that traffic signals at these locations will greatly decrease the safety hazaras now present, such as children and students crossing Highway 40, coming ana goinq from school, the library, the sports complex; tourists, bicyclists, and cars crossing Highway 40; children, students, and cars turning left (North) onto Highway 40 from Eisenhower Drive; ohildren, students, bicyclists, and cars turning left (South) onto H19hway 40 from County Road 8. Thank you for considering our requests. We're looking forward to hearing from you. S3.ncerely, The Fraser Town ~oar.d . . . .... ._--....~-._.. .... - - ...... '-, . August 9,1999 Board of Zoning Adjustment Fraser Town Hall Fraser, CO Dear Board members: . We would like to build an aparbnent above our garage at 645 Wapiti Dr. (Zoned R2) In 1979 the garage, a relocated forest service building, was on the lot when Kirk and Marianne Klanke built their house. The house continues to be a single family dwelling. Our goal would be'to build an affordable apartment which we could then rent for a reasonable price. Currently our daughter, Rebecca Manly who is a Winter Park ski patrol member in the winter and a forest service employee in the summer is interested in renting the apartment. The availability of small apartments suitable for one person with limited income is minimal in the Fraser area. We would like to create a tasteful addition that would enhance our home's appeamnce. Such an addition would not interfere with any neighbor's space.. A request for a variance may be made because of individual hardship. Our request is not made for individual hardship, but rather a community hardship. We need more affordable housing. We appreciate your time and your contribution to our Fraser Community. ~ f1lh~JLt r~J mudJ- 1 Donn Manly t/ Carolyn Manly PO Box 534 Fraser, CO 80442 . . . . C.B. JENSEN ALAN G. JENSEN P.O. BOX 635 FRASER, CO 80442 August 26, 1999 Town of Fraser Town Board Members Fraser, CO 80442 Dear Board Members: We would like to request a variance for the sideline setbacks on Lots 1 & 2, Broken Wagon Wheel Estates. C.B. Jensen is the owner of Lot 1 and Alan Jensen is the owner of Lot 2. We would like to build a garage on each lot but we think they would look and function better if they were put together with the lot line being down the center of the party wall. We would draw up a party wall agreement that would run with the property. It would allow a few things: 1. Allow more space between the house and garage which would be more attractive. 2. Allow for a better parking situation and eliminate a 14' wide no use (clutter) zone between the garages. Allows better landscape opportunities. 3. Allow us to build a superior structure that would look better than 2 structures. Less hardship to us and better visual impact to the neighborhood. We are currently building two duplex rental buildings and feel the addition of a two car garage to each lot will be an additional visual bonus to the neighborhood. We all know how much everyone needs a garage and how much it helps the neighborhood to have all those "extra" worldly possessions stored out of sight. C.B. will be able to visually demonstrate why we feel the singular garage will look better at the variance hearing. Normally, someone asks for a sideline setback variance and it encroaches on the next lot. We are asking for the setback variance together and feel the overall look of the project will benefit us and the neighborhood that sees it. We thank you in advance for your time and hope you might look on this variance favorably and agree with us that in this case one is better than two. ýÿ COLORADO SURPLUS ASSET FUND TRUST ("CSAFE") .
