Hi all,
Sorry for the second email. The CDOT Port of Entry SPAR is still on consent, so we will make sure this information is
available to the board prior to the hearing.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Good morning Kacee – hope all is well.
I can see on the map the location of the Trionfera parcels east of I‐25. Could you have Pete measure the distance
between these parcels and the proposed CDOT facility?
Thanks, Ted

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 20, 2021
TO:
Planning and Zoning Board
THRU: Paul Sizemore, Interim Deputy Dir, CDNS
FROM: Pete Wray, Senior City Planner
RE: CDOT Port of Entry - Site Plan Advisory Review SPA200003 - Board Member Requested Information
Summary: At the January 15, 2021 Planning and Zoning Board Work Session, Board Members Hansen and
Shepard requested staff provide additional information in response to questions on the CDOT Port of Entry -
Site Plan Advisory Review SPA200003 item.
1. Please confirm lighting fixtures on the inspection station building are down directional and
full cut-off, and lighting illumination levels off-site on the southbound POE (west side) are
reduced to zero within the Running Deer Natural Area?
Staff/Applicant Response:
In the Hearing packet, Preliminary submittal construction plans (Att. 2), overall site lighting layout plans and
fixture specifications are included. The Applicant has provided new information for the southbound POE site,
including photometric plan, and building mount fixture specifications (see attachments 1 and 2). The POE
site and building lighting fixtures are all down directional and full cut-off. The photometric plan shows lighting
illumination levels beyond the west frontage road ROW adjacent to the Running Deer Natural Area are
reduced to zero.
2. Please clarify justification for relocating the POE from current location and distance between
existing and proposed location on I-25. In response to a citizen concern of proposed POE too
close to existing residential (Mr. Louis Trionfera), distance between northbound POE and
existing residential lots to east?
Applicant Response:
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Colorado State Patrol Port of Entry have studied
a wide variety of alternative locations and configurations for the existing Port of Entry facilities near the
Interstate 25 (I-25) and Prospect Rd Interchange. As part of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
for the North I-25 Corridor and subsequent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents recognized
the need to relocate the existing Port of Entry facilities to improve the safety and operations of the I-25/Prospect
Rd Interchange.
Relocating the facilities north of the I-25 and Colorado State Highway 14 (CO 14) Interchange is not desirable
because of impacts to the enforcement and therefore, operational and safety concerns this might pose the
State’s highway system. Additionally, physical constraints along I-25 between CO 14 and Prospect Rd make
that location less than desirable as well. For these reasons, it was determined that the port facilities must be
along I-25 south of Prospect Rd. The proposed location for the relocated port facilities relocates the facilities
as far south as possible without negatively impacting the I-25 and Harmony Rd Interchange which allows for
the maximization of the operations and safety improvements associated with this scope of work therefore
meeting the goals of the FEIS. For safety reasons, it was deemed necessary for the east and west port facilities
2
to have line of sight across I-25 for emergency scenarios. This additional safety constraint and CDOT’s desire
to balance impacts on both side of I-25 contributed to the relocated port of entry location.
As requested, below is a summary of measurements from the existing port of entry site location to the proposed
location, the distance from CDOT’s existing right of way limit to CDOT’s future right of way limit along the
northbound (east) port of entry site, and the distance from the proposed northbound port of entry building to
the nearest homes.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] POE I‐25 and Prospect
Hi Corey,
We are property owners of 2856 Arbee Lane, Fort Collins, CO 80525.
We know our opinion will not make any difference to any plan or decision regarding this project, but we are very
disappointed that the State of Colorado thinks they have the money and need to spend the money to relocate the two
existing Port of Entry sites on I‐25 close to Prospect Rd at Fort Collins, CO. It is a waste of funds when that money is
desperately needed elsewhere, like for actual road maintenance.
We would like to know the reason for the relocation of something that is presently working. It hasn’t been too long ago
that the south bound west side POE was totally rebuilt.
We would like to know the cost of the total project, in other words the amount of money that the State of Colorado will
be wasting.
Why does the facility need nine parking spaces for employees when stated there will be only two or three manning the
facility?
Our concerns and objections are based on the location and the effect it will have on our property:
Noise pollution: Long term noise from vehicle engines slowing and accelerating, idling, air brakes, shifting and also rain
and hail on metal roof of buildings. Shorter term ‐‐‐ construction noise.
Night sky light pollution: even using “approved” lighting, the relocated facilities will be approximately 20‐30 feet higher
than the current grade of the current SE Frontage Road so there will be light pollution to the properties along Arbee
Lane. There is currently light pollution from the existing POE locations from County Road 5, which is across pasture and
farm land almost a mile away.
Wildlife habitat: All wildlife has not received the memo to cross I‐25 only under the bridge over the railroad. They
will be forced to change their patterns as the current crossing will be lighted, noisy, and congested. Raptors living in the
large trees close to the relocation site will be forced to relocate nests. There is wildlife habitat along the SE Frontage
road that will be destroyed. The relocation of the POE on both sides will cause stress to wildlife.
