1. Arapahoe Farm Townhomes
- what's the plan to reroute Harmony... Why? When?
was it added later
The rerouting of Harmony Road between Shields and Taft Hill to
align Harmony with County Road 38E at Taft Hill, is planned to be
constructed with the next phase of Woodridge development projects.
The developer's engineer is designing the project now in
preparation for submitting development plans this summer. We think
the street construction will begin later this year or next year.
Plans for rerouting Harmony have been developing over the last 14
years. Rerouted Harmony is shown on the City Master Street Plan
adopted in 1981. It was also master planned 2 or 3 years ago with
the Gates and Overlook at Woodridge development projects. Portions
of rerouted Harmony Road have been built with the approved phases
of Woodridge. The City already has most of the right of way by
dedication and purchase. A bicycle and pedestrian underpass is
planned for connection the area west of new Harmony for a safe
route to the schools.
Reasons for the rerouting of Harmony are as follows:
(1) to eliminate the current dead end of Harmony at Taft
Hill.
(2) to eliminate a safty problem with anticipated heavy
traffic using an existing intersection with steep slopes
on -the approaches.
(3) to align Harmony with County Road 38E, the main route to
Horsetooth Reservoir, to enhance the value of Harmony
Road as an arterial street.
When rerouting is completed, existing Harmony Road west of the new
Harmony will remain in service as a minor street. It will serve
for westbound traffic wanting to go south on Taft Hill and,
likewise, northbound Taft Hill Road traffic going east on Harmony.
At the time property on the southeast corner of existing Harmony
and Taft Hill develops, the old Harmony may be replaced with street
connections through the development.
The rerouting of Harmony has been planned for all along, not "added
later." As mentioned above, commitments were made over the years
and needed parts of new Harmony constructed with each phase.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

RE: Arapahoe Farm Townhomes P.U.D. - Meeting of August 11, 1994
The attached is a summary of what I understand was agreed to by the
parties at the meeting of August 11, 1994, regarding how the
reconstruction of vacated Hilburn Drive would be completed by the
developer. Please review the text and return your comments to me
as soon as possible. If there are disagreements with my
interpretation we may have to discuss these items further.
In a conversation I had with Tom Wilberton last Friday, he asked
for a change in how the new fence is constructed on the north side
of the new walk. He would like to have the new fence constructed
along the east property line of the development from the west end
of the new fence north to the existing timber retaining wall (about
16 feet). In exchange he would agree to reduce the length of new
fence paralleling the new walk at the east end by the same length.
This would ]keep the agreed upon length of new fence to be
constructed by the developer the same.
If you have any questions please call me at 221-6750.

ARAPAHOE FARM TOWNHOMES P.U.D.
Vacation of Hilburn Drive
8/29/94
The following is a summary of the agreements between the developer
and the adjoining property owners that were made during the meeting
held Thursday, August 11, 1994.
1. The fencing in the Hilburn Drive vacated area shall be
installed 4 feet from each side of the new 5 foot wide
walk.
2. The developer agrees to remove the existing fence on the
Gottschalk property paralleling Hilburn Drive; reinstall
the fence 4 feet south of the new walk and construct new
fence needed to make the fence whole. The new portion of
fence shall be the same as the existing fence. The fence
construction will be done by a reputable fence company in
Forst Collins.
3. The developer agrees to construct a new fence paralleling
the new walk in vacated Hilburn Drive 4 feet north of the
walk from the front of the Wilberton property, in line
with the front of the house, to the rear property line
bordering the east property line of the development. The
fence will match the fence constructed for the Gottschalk
and, also, be constructed by a reputable fence company in
Forst Collins.
4. The developer agrees to grade the vacated street area to
match the landscaped areas of the Wilberton and
Gottschalk properties. In addition the developer shall
grade onto the Gottschalk property to tie into the
predominantly existing grade of the Gottschalk backyard
and maintain grading out to the new fence to be
"ergonomically acceptable" for usability of the backyard
(bust not necessarily flat). Then the grade shall be
sloped to the new walk at no more than a 4:1 slope (the
maximum allowed slope for City standards). Grading on
the north side of the new walk shall be done so that no
ponding will be created on the existing landscaped area
of 'the Wilberton property nor on the newly graded area,
and, in addition, grading to add elevation to meet the
grade of the developer's property shall begin, heading
west, at the timber planter/retaining wall and shall not
in any location top the the wall.
5. The developer agrees to install new sprinkler system in
the vacated street area. The new system will tie into
the Gottschalk's and Wilberton's existing systems with
the new walk being the dividing line between the two
systems. The tie ins shall be done professionally in a
workperson like manner.
6.
The developer agrees to sod all graded areas
to match the
existing grass areas on the Gottschalks and Wilbertons
properties.
7
The developer agrees to restore any existing
landscaping
disturbed by the construction operation.
8.
The Gottschalks and the Wilbertons will
allow the
developer onto their property to perform all
of the above
described work.
hap
Requirements of the developer by the City mentioned in
the meeting
were as
follows:
1. The developer shall install the berm and the swales along
the east property line of the development with the first
phase of three phases in the development.
2. A swale must be formed off of the new walk in the vacated
street area to direct storm runoff through a sidewal
chase under the new sidewalk of Hilburn Court.

Dear Jim,
+vices
I have tried to call you at the office and on your mobile phone this morning, but have not been
successful in reaching you. I wanted to discuss our response to your request with you before
writing it down, but this is the next best thing.
The City Engineering Department will be able to approve your final plans for the removal of
the Hilburn stub street and landscaping improvements as soon as you and the adjacent property
owners agree to the improvements on Hilburn Drive, RBD completes the changes in the plans
and adds the required notes, and the utility plans are approved. Hopefully, this will occur this
week. In addition, your signature is needed on the Development Agreement.
In reference to the second reading for the vacation of Hilburn Drive, we believe it is best to
schedule that for the! October 4th Council meeting. It is the opinion of the City Attorney that
ownership changes upon the effective date of that ordinance, not when the documents are
recorded. Furthermore, once the ordinance goes into effect, anyone can obtain a certified copy
of it and record it with the County Clerk and Recorder. We feel it is important that your work
on Hilburn Drive be substantially completed before the ordinance becomes effective so you will
be on City owned property, not on privately owned property. We are trying to avoid any
further conflicts with adjacent property owners.
If the second reading; of the vacation ordinance is adopted on October 4th, the ordinance will be
effective on October 14, which coincides with your estimated completion date. Building permits
for Phase I could then be issued. We would suggest applying for the building permits well in
advance so that the Building Department will have sufficient time to review the plans and be
ready to issue the permits as soon as the street vacation is effective.

The second reading of the vacation ordinance will be scheduled
for the September 20th Council meeting. Upon approval, the vaca-
tion documents will be held by the City Clerk until all improve-
ments associated with the vacation are completed, at which time the
documents will be recorded.
Upon approval of the final utility plans by City staff, Jim
will immediately begin the improvements of the vacated area and
anticipates completion within 45 days. Concurrently with these
improvements, but only subsequent to approval of the vacation on
second reading, Jim can pull building permits and begin
construction of Phase 1 improvements.

RE: Arapahoe Farm Townhomes - Phase 1 Foundation only Building Permits
Dear Mike:
I spoke with Steve Gottschalk and Ann Wilberton yesterday about any opposition they
might have to The James Company beginning foundation work in the first phase of our
project. I explained that the city would be issuing "Foundation Only" permits of this time
ano than we would only be issued complete building permits when the work: on Hilburn
Drive had. progressed to a mutually satisfactor\1 point. Both Ann and Steve agreed that
th-:s would be fair as long as work started this week and moved along at a reasonable
pace (as I have outlined in the attached schedule). I spoke with Connell Resources this
morning and removal of the existing asphalt street section and sidewalk is beginning
today. I am requesting the release of any holds you may have on our building permit
applications so that the Building Department can issue "Foundation Only
permits at this time. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

RE: vacation of Hilburn Drive
Dear Mr. Postle:
As you are aware, the request for Arapahoe Farm Townhomes does not
require the use of Hilburn Drive, west of Hilburn Court, as
originally envisioned on the 0.D.P.Is for Arapahoe Farm and Regency
Park. This will result in Hilburn Drive being a dead-end and not
needed for public street purposes.
The City of :Fort Collins will not allow the dead-end portion of
Hilburn Drive to remain and thus requires the vacation of the
public right-of-way. Vacation of public streets must be approved
by two readings of City Council. According to City Code and state
statute, vacation of a public right-of-way (54 feet) results in
one-half of the affected right-of-way (27 feet) reverting back to
the two adjacent property owners. The procedure for vacating a
public street is outlined in the Development Manual and the
consideration by City Council is coordinated by the Development
Review Center.
In addition to the vacation procedure, the developer of Arapahoe
Farm Townhomes will be required to remove existing pavement, curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. A new sidewalk, curb, and gutter will be
required to be constructed in a north -south direction to connect
the two ends of Hilburn Court.
The developer will also be required to grade the surface and seed
for erosion control. Such grading shall ensure that there are no
low spots and that there is positive drainage out to Hilburn Court.
All affected[ utilities must be abandon according to the
specifications and procedures of the utility providers. In
particular, the existing fire hydrant must be relocated in
accordance with both Water and Wastewater Utility and Poudre Fire
Authority.
281 .'North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
The demolition and removal of existing improvements, and the
grading, seeding, and reconstruction of improvements will be made

It will be a few months before the second reading of the Hillburn
vacation returns to City Council. We are still reviewing the
utility plans and allowing the two neighbors to review them, also.
So far the plans are not detailed enough to be acceptable.
Following completion of the plans, the developer will have to
remove the street and construct the improvements before we complete
the vacation (second reading). I have let the neighbors know that
what we are able to require of the developer will not likely be
as much as they want. Only if the developer has to get on the
neighboring property will they gain any leverage to ask for
landscaping, sprinklers and fences. We will do all that we can to
make sure the developer does what he is supposed to do without
trespassing or damaging the neighbors' properties. We will know
better what will be done when the plans are complete.
Do you want to relay this information to City Council now rather
than wait for second reading of the vacation? Please let me know.
Mike

To the Board Members:
This letter is being hand delivered because of the shortage of time before
your meeting on Monday, July 25, 1994. I am writing in referral to item 19 on
the Consent Agenda for this meeting. One of our residents of Regency Par
after much effort, was informed that this item reading "155-87 L ARAPAHOE FARMS
TOWNHOMES - REFERRAL OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE Referral of an
administrative change to modify a condition of final approval, located at the
northeast corner of Harmony and Seneca, zoned rip, Low Density Planned
Residential", means the developer would be issued a building permit but not the
Certificate of Occupancy until the issue of Hilburn Court is resolved. He was
supposed to resolve this issue BEFORE receiving a building permit!
Firstly, your own definition of Consent Agenda (The Consent Agenda
consists of items with no known opposition or concern) does NOT fit this
particular item! It has been known by the Planning and Zoning Board, the City
Council, and the Developer that there are serious objections to this situation.
If the developer is allowed to leave the Hilburn Court problem unresolved now,
what is to keep him from leaving it unresolved at the end of the project??? I
do not live at that particular corner, but I clearly would not trust that the
situation will be remedied given the past recored of non -notice to us
concerning this property. (This property was rezoned without Regency Park
residents being notified.) We also weren't notified about this incident and it
appears someone "forgot" to call us! DO NOT allow Hilburn Court to be delayed
longer. It is clear to us that we WILL be the loosers!
* This is apparently not the only condition of final approval that is being
changed. T •. -- ,, ... -A& %
---zr3t'c,-d `-hat ii ucvoa' iper Was to work with Regency Park and
take our input in choosing roofing materials. That hasn't happened either and
I'd like to request compliance with the original conditions for approval!
Asphalt shingles are to be approved!?!?!?
Why are developers NOT repremanded when they do things wrong? He even
started moving dirt without a permit and we had to call the city (which took
four days to correct the situation). We have been told people are bending over
backwards to work with us, but we have followed all your guidelines and rules.
It is the system which has not followed its' own rules! WE are the residents
of Fort Collins, not this Boulder developer. PLEASE represent US!!!
Sincerely,

In spite of many assurances by the City of Fort Collins Planning, City Attorney, City Manager,
etc... that you would get together with us on the question of improvements and restoration
reLardiric the vacation of Hilburn Drive we have not heard from you.
We are sure you are most anxious to proceed with the Arapahoe Townhome project. This matter
needs to, be resolved before you will be issued a building permit and commence the project. We
are also ca'ger to 'ecl, this settled as quickly as possible and would appreciate hearing from you by
Aug the. 14th.
At the May 17th meeting of city council Mr.Roy envisioned a mediating session between you
and the neighbors affected by this vacation procedure. This would certainly give us all the
chance to see what is appropriate and what agreement can be reached.
