Re: Subdivision Agreement
Evergreen Park, 2nd Filing
Dear Mr. Carpenter:
We had several good construction days in April and the lack of
construction activity within your Evergreen Park Subdivisions
as it relates to the public right-of-wav was quite apparent.
We would call your attention to Paragraph 6C of the referenced
subdivision agreement wherein several street improvements are
scheduled for completion on or before June 1, 1980. Completion
includes sidewalks.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In��ter it s stated the City would not release any building permits

After review by a hydraulic engineer it has been determined that building
permits can be released on an individual basis. The City does reserve the
option to withhold building permits when it feels the building units will
affect the required storm water detention systems.

The following is in response t 6,.��est for the remaining 20 building permits
for the east portion of the(_ergreen Park Seco ix in
The City has reviewed your request and regretfully has to deny it until certain
measures are taken.
In the middle of April of this year, the City met with yourself and Mr. Carpenter,
and at that time it: was understood that various improvements as required by the City
would be constructed so as to release the remaining building permits in the Evergreen
Park area. If not constructed, monies would be escrowed in an amount equal to the
engineers' estimate for those improvements.
To date, those improvements discussed at the meeting affecting the east portion
of Evergreen Park 2nd have not been constructed and to our knowledge no monies
have been bonded.
To release your remaining 20 building permits, the facilities discussed must be
roughed in to a functional state. Those facilities affecting the east portion of
the Second Filing are:
1 - The common detention pond in the Evergreen Park 3rd Filing adjacent to
Conifer Street. Engineers' estimate - $19,400.
2 - The temporary detention pond adjacent to the pond in the 3rd Filing.
Engineers' estimate - $20,100.
Certificates of occupancy will not be issued until those items identified above are
final graded and accepted by the City.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact me and
I am looking forward to working with you in the future.

Re: Evergreen Park 2nd Filing
Dear Mr. Smith:
I received a copy of your letter dated August 20, 1981 addressed to Mr.
Ivan Giroux, Loveland, Colorado, advising that a request for 20 additional
building permits had not been approved and specifically referring to
additional work to be done on two detention ponds.
I called your office and was advised that you were on vacation. I did
discuss the matter with Mr. Rupel and suggested again my willingness
to meet with you and discuss this matter.
As you are aware, from our meeting last Spring, we agreed to once
immediately work on the major items remaining in Evergreen Park
Development and have since that time completed another half mile of
foL,.rlane street and a substantial portion of the drainage work including
the installation of three 30" concrete pipes under Redwood Street and
excavation of much of the dirt work and detention ponds. Unfortunately,
during the last 30 to 45 days we have been forced to curtail that work
due to rising ground water tables. The ponds have, in part, filled with
water. It would appear, we will be unable to continue excavation work
until the irrigation ditches are shut down in September. I have not
been aware that our progress in this regard was not acceptable to your
office. If that is the case, I desire to discuss the matter immediately
as it is our concern that Mr. Giroux and others developing in this sub-
division be allowed to continue with the orderly development of their
properties while this work continues.
Some months ago I was advised that we would be formally advised of the
approval of the development plan for the flood drainage program. Has
that approval now been obtained? I was further advised that a program
would be approved under which. Evergreen Park would be reimbursed for
those portions of the many acres of ditches and detention ponds that
were being built for the benefit of properties lying outside of our
subdivision. Has anything further been done in this regard?
Mr. Robert W. Smith
Assistant City Engineer
City of Fort Collins
August 28, 1981
Page Two
I believe the statement in your August 20, 1981 letter indicating that
certificates of occupancy would not be issued until those two detention
ponds were final graded to be in error as our last meeting indicated
that we could not put these ponds in final form until such time as the
outlet into the LeMay Street drainage system was engineered and approved
or constructed.
It is not my intention or desire to argue with you about this program,
but to cooperate with you in the orderly development of this drainage
project at a rate commensurate with the development. I will appreciate
hearing from you as you get back from vacation to try to work out an
acceptable program for the City and Evergreen Park that allows Mr.
Giroux to continue with his development work.

staff ju.4y 2'.7, 1976As ypu; know,, due to the..proposed. highWa*'_44 b'ylrass,
es'. I am advised that
t e l'arge`amount of revisions required prevented us from completing the
engineering sooner and, consequently, will not allow us to be put on the
agenda for City Council until August 17, 1976.
1 have requested, in writing, another meeting with Dwight Bower, District
Engineer of the Department of Highways at the earliest possible date. I
have not as yet had a response from him. As you know, defining more
specifically the proposed highway location is critical to our project.
This highway destroys our traffic pattern, our drainage plan and access
to some of our utilities.
Our other concern, at the present time, is that we have Volunatrily co-
operated with everybody to establish an unobstructed corridor but feel
that there are others along this route, both in the City and in the
County, who have no intention of giving the same degree of cooperation.
V would appreci-ate you-r assurance that all departments of the City will
aggressively work f .tthe protection of this corridor from other con

Dear Bob:
At a rrr eting in your conference room at 2:00 P. m. on Monday, January
11, 1982, we discussed the recc�'Ftended street cr_anaes effcct_ing
Evergreen Park.
As I advised you, we are in design of a subdivision to be located east
of Red.wc�d Street, south of Conifer Street and north of Lake Canal.
We v.ere ad,,_sed that within apprc->.imately 30 days we would be able to
obtain the City's approval of a plan for a frontage road tore -place
the La,,;ay Street i tprove ent plan as recx 7uended by the transportation
consulting -"irm. Vle were further advised that the City would like to
reduce pro,;:x-)sed Pedv.00d Street from a fourlane collector to a tawolane
street.
We had hoped to contract for the installation of a box culvert in Lake
Canal prior to the irrigation season, which would have allowed P.edwood
Street to I}a developed during 1982. If any of the above matters can
be addressed, we need that response idiately. As you are aware,
curbs and gutters for fourlane street in Redwood have been installed.
We are now advised t-iat our efforts to cooperate with the long range
elan are being considered a default under development agreer-Lents with
the City and pose a threat of legal actions and dur:aaes to us. Your
pro ipt response to request for inforr-atlon will be appreciated.

Dear Mr. Carpenter:
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated March 11, 1982,
concerning Lemay Street Extension and Redwood Road.
In our meeting on the above date, the City advised you that a transportation
study v-as currently underray for the area bounded by Conifer Street, College
Avenue, and Riverside Avenue. The study is scheduled to be completed about
the first of Ilay, and at that time, it will go to Council for review. In
reviewing your letter and our meeting, I have the following comments.
The City did not indicate that they plan to reduce Redwood Road from an
existing four -lane collector to a two-lane street. The intent was to adjust
the street pattern and width to fit the service area's needs. It is my
understanding that the consultant will be arranging a meeting with you
within the nex"- two weeks, and that you are scheduled to have a meeting
with the City the week of March 15.
Should you have any additional questions, this meeting would be the
appropriate time to provide them. Mauri Rupel, Development Engineer in
the Department of Public ',,forks, handles the new development projects. Any
correspondence or concerns regarding the Evergreen project involoving City
standards, contractural agreements, and subdivision agreements should be

Recently City staff met with Mr. Lyle Carpenter and Mr. Ivan Giroux
regarding Evergreen Park Second Filing and the release of additional
building permits.
The completion of the most easterly detention pond and its outlet works
was one of the several areas discussed. The main concern with this pond
was the feasibility of transporting runoff around the buried concrete
electrical duct bank. It was understood your firm, Parsons & Associates,
has performed a field survey verifying the feasibility of this concern.
It was agreed by everyone present, that I would contact you and request
that we, as soon as possible, meet and review the information and find
the best possible solution to the concern.
Once a solution is selected the construction to finish the pond would
proceed inmediately. I am looking forward to working with you on this
project.

Re: Evergreen Park - 2nd Filing
Attention: Mr. Lyle Carpenter
Dear Lyle:
Thank you for your considerable effort to revise the subdivision
agreement for Evergreen Park, 2nd Filing, the past two weeks.
As a result of our meting yesterday, we feel that an equitable
solution has been reached and development will be allowed to proceed
in a short time.
Confirming our camlitmnt of yesterday, the seven (7) feet wide
"meandering" sidewalk on the north side of Conifer Street from
Lemay Avenue to Sugarpine Street should be changed to a four (4)
feet wide straight sidewalk whose southern edge should be a minimum
of three feet, six inches (3'-6") north of the back of the curb,
along the north side of Conifer.
Again, thank you for your cooperation.

Re: Amendment to Development
Agreement
Evergreen Park
2nd Filing
Dear Mauri:
I have had brief telephone conversations with Dave Stringer and
Paul Eckman regarding what appears to be a single problem with our
amended agreement and that concerns retention ponds A and B.
Please accept this as a formal request for your approval to 1)
relocate the outlet to the south and west where the engineers have
determined the City's underground electrical vault provides the
greatest clearance and 2) the right to increase the size of the
overflow pond, pond B to provide for any deficiency created by our
inability to agree with the R. E. A. for the relocation of the pole
in Pond A.
I am waiting for a letter from the R. E. A., which Jim Burns, of
that office, stated would provide that they will not give us a
figure for the relocation of that pale nor agree to do the w�r_k
until we a) provide them with some additional easements (undis-
closed location) b) install concrete curb cuts and driveways
to the Bureau Substation (oversized) and c) pay "an old bill"
for the undergrounding of electrical services to a property on
the north side of Willox Lane. Apparently, a family by the name
of Davis requested the service, would pay the bill, and now the
R. E. A. Nays that bill should be our expense and a condition of
relocating the pole. I, again, called Mr. Burns today requesting
said letter and was advised the letter required their legal counsel
approval before it could be sent to us.

R. E. A. cites as their authority to charge other bills to Evergreen
Park a 1974 agreement under which they contend that the City of Fort
Collins has given them complete authority to relocate lines, build
new facilities, etc.and charge them to Evergreen Park. Evergreen Park
would like to request that a complete review be made of any and all
communications or agreements with the R. E. A. It is our opinion
that any previous efforts to use common easements or joint facilities
nave long since been terminated. I am happy to meet with you or any
representative of the City at your convenience to discuss our
request that formal action be taken terminate any prior agreement that
would not a:Llow for the use of bids, good business practices, and the
agreement of the developer, the City and R. E. A.

Mr. Carpenter:
The following is in regard to the completion of the drainage improvements
in pond OA of the Evergreen Park 2nd filing and the issuance of the
remaining building permits for said development.
I have attached correspondence from Mr. Bob Lenz of Parsons & Associates,
and a map of the area to help explain the City's position on the matter.
To date the inflow rip rap channel entering the pond on the northeast corner
from Conifer Street is completed according to plan. The sides of the
pond have .)een graded also according to plan, except for the cross hatched
area depicted on the attached map. The bottom of pond OA remains to be
completed. Also pond OB has been completed according to the accepted plans.
The City recognizes that certain conditions persist that prohibit the pond
to be completed at this time, and are willing to accept certain conditions
to guarantee pond OA completion.
The City has no problem with the issuance of the remaining building permits
for the east drainage basin in the Evergreen Park second filing provided a
letter of credit, bond or escrow, is provided in an amount equal to 150 percent
of the estimated construction cost to remove the excess material along the
southern edge of the pond, and the completion of the bottom of the pond.
The estimated cost should be based on an engineer's estimated cost to
perform the described work.
Please call me as soon as possible on the above as we would like to resolve
the matter in the near future.

RE: Median Maintenance - Evergreen Park 2nd
In 1976 the City approved the Evergreen Park Subdivision,
2nd Filing. Included in this approval are the median
islands on Foxtail Street. However, through researching
/ the subdivision agreement and utility plans, the maintenance
of the Foxtail medians was not addressed.
A portion of these medians have been constructed since 1978
and as far as can be determined, have not received any
maintenance either by the City or developer.
Recently, the adjacent property owners have complained
to the City Engineer's office requesting these medians
be maintained.
As previously stated, the City failed to address the maintenance
question in 1976, so it now appears the City is responsible
for the maintenance. I would appreciate your putting these
medians on your maintenance schedule as soon as possible.

In a letter from this office dated September 30, 1983, you were
given notice to remove weeds and rubbish which had accumulated in
Tract C of Evergreen Park, 3rd Filing, and were allowed 15 days'
time to comply. Upon your failure to do so, the City of Fort Collins
caused such work to be done at a total cost of $113.66 (see attachments).
I have assumed that this is precisely the course you wished to take,
given the inconvenience associated with making arrangements for such
removal from your Denver office.
A check from you for $113.66 will resolve this matter quickly and simply.
However, I am compelled to withhold all future building permits in
Evergreen Park, 2nd Filing, until this amount is paid so that the
City's interests are fully protected.
As always, we are grateful for your cooperation. Please don't
hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

MEMOI-ANDUM
DATE: August 17, 1976
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Robcrt L. Brunton, City Manager
RF: Evergreen Park Subdivision, Second Filing, Final Plat
The Second Filing of Evergreen Park Subdivision consists of 166 lots on 64.4
acres zoned R-L-P, located between Lindenmeier Road and Redwood Street to the
north of East Vine Drive.
A considerable number of problems have occurred concerning this development.
One of the more critical ones is the location of the Central Fort Collins
Expressway. On July 12, 1976, we received a letter from the State Department
of Highways stating that the corridor for the Expressway will be south of
Conifer Street, On July 26, 1976, we received a copy of a letter stating
that the BA corridor would be designated for the Expressway. We will continue
to monitor this problem, but some problems will exist while trying to get all
issues resolved until the State has the final right of way for the Expressway
designated. It appears that the earliest this will be known is late spring
of 1977._
At its July 12 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended
approval of the Second Filing with the understanding that the utility plans
would be prepared and approved by the City Engineer and that there would be
a long-term maintenance agreement for the BOR easement.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council approve
the Final Plat of the Evergreen Park Subdivision, Second Filing.

You and Jody were looking for some additional information concerning
the sidewalk along North Lemay in the vicinity of the Evergreen Park
and Greenbriar developments.
Previously I had estimated the cost of
detached concrete sidewalk on the west
Street north to tie in to the sidewalk
be $25,000 to $28,000. This high cost
that we would probably have to condemn
such a walk.
installing a five foot wide
side of the road from Conifer
on the Greenbriar property to
was due in part to the fact
the Thomas property to construct
You asked me to look into the cost of installing the concrete sidewalk
along the Evergreen Park frontages where the existing R.O.W. would permit
such construction, and then constructing an asphalt shoulder along the
frontage of the Thomas property, avoiding the need to acquire this R.O.W.
I have completed this estimate, and the cost of such construction would be
approximately $16,000. Approximately 800 feet of this sidewalk would be
concrete and could be incorporated into the permanent improvements when
North Lemay is eventually widened. The 450 feet of asphalt shoulder along the Thomas property would be a temporary improvement, and would be lost
when Lemay is widened'
I also ran through a calculation for the cost of installing an asphalt
shoulder along the entire length in question, just for a comparison' The
cost of this temporary improvement would be $11,000. But I would certainly
not recommend this option because of the very temporary nature of the im-
provements' the maintenance problems associated with it, and the fact that it really doesn't present much of a solution in terms of meeting the needs
of pedestrians.
Jody also asked if the City has any other leverage to make developers fulfill
their commitments to install public improvements (other than holds on permits).
The City could require developers to bond or otherwise guarantee the
construction of their development related improvements, as some other cities
do However, this matter has been discussed many times over the past decade,
and the City has never felt this requirement would be palatable to the
development community. I spoke to Mike Herzig this morning, and he agreed
that there would be some advantages in trying to get bonds or guarantees for
at least the construction of our arterial streets, since the type of problem
illustrated by the Evergreen Park sidewalk most often arises in conjunction
with arterials.
Perhaps the City Manager or the E-team would like to consider such a
proposal. If you are interested in pursuing this, we should get together
with Mike H. and discuss it further.
Jody asked what it would take in this particular situation to get the
developer to install the improvements. Based on my experience with this
developer over the past decade, the answer to that is fairly simple --it would
Seriously` this situation is very much like our problem with getting Wheeler
Drake �ad west of Taft Hill--onl worse, because of the
Realty to constructt a� ivity in this area We wo"^d probably have to
lack of any development ` .
sue the developer, and depending on his financial situation, the outcome
of such an action is anyo'e's guess. If you want us to pursue this matter
I'll get together with Mike Herzig and Paul
vigorously with the devel�per,
Eckman and see what steps we need to take at this time.
The big question in deciding whether or not to go after the developer in this
matter would seem to be how badly the proposed street improvements are needed
at this time If this same street were included in the Choices 95 process,
for example,^I sincerely doubt it would rate high enough to receive any City
funding in the next five to seven years. How convincing an argument can be
made then for forcing the developer to construct the road at this time?
Well, I've probably given you more than you even wanted. Let me know how
I should proceed in this matter, or if you have any more questions.

Gary,
You asked me to look into the cost of installing sidewalk along
the west side of North Lemay Avenue between Conifer Street and
the south boundary of the Greenbriar development.
The area is approximately 1000 feet in length. The south 600
feet is part of the Evergreen Park 2nd Filing development, and
the 50 foot wide R.O.W. for this half of Lemay has been
dedicated. The north 400 feet has not redeveloped since being
annexed to the City, and only a 30 foot wide R.O.W. has been
dedicated along this frontage. The additional 20 feet of
R.O.W. would be required to construct the proposed, detached
sidewalk.
The developer of Evergreen Park 2nd is responsible for the
construction of the street improvements, including a four foot
wide sidewalk along his portion of Lemay. According to an
agreement dated March 31, 1982, this work was to have been
completed no later than January 1, 1985. There has been no
development activity on this property for a number of years, so
we have been unable to enforce this agreement by withholding
any construction permits. Based on my experience with this
development over the last ten years, I believe it would be
extremely difficult to force the developer to construct the
walk at this time. And even if the City constructs the street
improvements and sidewalk, I wonder how much success we will
have in obtaining any repayment for these improvements'
The City has had a somewhat stormy relationship with the
property owner on the north. Recently, we had to acquire an`
estimate tor one value ot one property. yur it we want to
construct the sidewalk at this time, I suspect the property
owner will be very diffic` t ,to work with. It would It surprise
me if we were unable to rL^ch an acceptable settlemen`, and were
forced to acquire the necessary R.O.W. through condemnation.
I should note that the 223 foot stretch of Lemay just south of
Conifer is very similar to the Evergreen Park 2nd situation'
This is a portion of Evergreen Park 3rd Filing. While there
has been some talk of a commercial development on this corner,
there do not appear to be any immediate plans for construction.
Since the situations with the 2nd and 3rd Filings are very
similar, in developing a cost estimate for the sidewalk, I have
developed one alternate which includes this 223 foot stretch of
Evergreen Park 3rd, and one alternate which does not.
Alternate One:
Construct a 5 foot wide detached concrete sidewalk from Conifer
north to connect with the existing sidewalk in the Greenbriar
development.

With either one of the alternates, the construction of this
sidewalk stil leaves us far short of providing continuous
pedestrian access along this segment of Lemay. With the fairly
large cost of these improvements, I think we would have to look
seriously at the benefits of the construction before we
proceeded.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need
additional information.

FROM: Jon Ruiz, Management Assistant!,\✓
RE: Sidewalk Construction Along North Lemay
I. Background
Last week, you asked me to look into the possibility of extending the
sidewalk along the west side of North Lemay from Conifer Street to Forest
Hills Lane. Specifically, you were interested in finding out 1.) who is
responsible for improving the western portion of North Lemay from
approximately 500 hundred feet south of Conifer north to Forest Hills Lane,
2.) what the developers' responsibility is for the construction of a bridge
for North Lemay over the Lake Canal located south of Conifer, 3.) who has
current ownership of the land immediately adjacent to North Lemay, on the
west, from Conifer to Forest Hills, and 4.) how much of the area along this
stretch is undeveloped.
The findings below address all four questions in detail. The summarized
findings, however, suggest that both the developers and the City would have
financial obligations to ensure the construction of a sidewalk along the
entire length of the west side of North Lemay from just south of Conifer to
Forest Hills Lane.
II. Findings
Enclosed with this memorandum is a simple drawing of the developments and
properties along the west side of North Lemay between Conifer and Forest
Hills Lane. This drawing is intended to be a simplistic overview of the
area and is not to scale. However, it does provide an easy way to refer to
the developments and properties along this stretch of North Lemay. The
discussions below refer to this drawing.
A. Greenbriar P.U.D.
1. Development Agreement between First Interstate Bank of Fort Collins
(the Developer) and the City of Fort Collins was entered into on July 18,
1985. First Interstate Bank is also the owner of the property. As per the
agreement:
- The Developer agreed to install and pay for all streets, curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks as shown on the approved utility plans in
full compliance with the standards and specifications of the
300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. 13o\ 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 22t-0505
City. The approved utility plan includes the west side of Lemay
adjacent to the property.
- The City agreed to repay the Developer for oversizing Lemay
Avenue to arterial standards in lieu of local street standards.
2. The sidewalk along the west side of North Lemay adjacent to
Greenbriar P.U.D. has been constructed.
B. Private Property (Thomas Property)
1. Currently, a single-family residence along with several private
buildings set on this piece of property. There is not a sidewalk along
North Lemay adjacent to the property.
2. Section 24-36 of the City Code states that sidewalks, curbs, and
gutters may be constructed by the owners of property abutting upon them and
at their expense. I could not find where it was required for a property
owner to construct a sidewalk along the front of his/her private property.
3. If the City would like a sidewalk along this portion of North
Lemay, my research shows that the City would have to incur the costs of
construction or be able to provide justification for establishing a Special
Improvement District (SID). However, this is easier said then done.
Currently, the City does not own enough right-of-way along North Lemay to
construct a sidewalk along the property line. My understanding is that the
owner of the property is not agreeable to selling the amount of
right-of-way required. This would leave the City with three options, 1.)
wait for the property to be redeveloped in the future and require the new
developer to make the improvements along North Lemay, 2.) begin
condemnation procedures to acquire the requisite right-of-way, or 3.)
establish a SID. The first option may take years, the second option could
be costly to the City, and the third option may be difficult to justify.
Rather than a sidewalk, the City could "foot the bill" to widen the asphalt
along this stretch. This may or may not meet specific needs.
C. Evergreen Park P.U.D. Second Filing
1. The original agreement between the Developer (Evergreen Park 2) and
the City, dated December 2, 1976, as amended by a March 31, 1982 amendment,
is the most current agreement on file. (The March 31, 1982 amendment
deleted an earlier amendment in its entirety.) As per agreement:
- The Developer agreed to install all streets shown in the utility
plan, complete with asphalt paving, curb, gutter, and sidewalks,
in full compliance with the standard specifications of the City.
North Lemay, adjacent to this Filing, is included on the utility
plan.
- All street improvements were to be constructed at the sole
expense of the Developer except that the City would pay the added
expense of improving North Lemay as an arterial and Conifer
Street as a collector rather than as residential streets.
Despite the City's participation in these street improvements, as
per Sections 29-679 and 29-680 of the City Code, the Developer is
still responsible for improving the pavement, curbs, gutters, and
' i fi n,•J at.r, r^enY .11 ��...:ir-_r-J_.
- The completion of North Lemay improvements was not required until
tuff c stud i es ;,ao i�een compl e Ced (at tree City' s expense) or on
January 1, 1985, whichever came first.
- If the improvements were not completed on time, the City had the
right to have additional work done to complete improvements in a
satisfactory manner and the Developer would be liable for the
costs of the work.
2. A sidewalk is not currently constructed along this portion of the
development.
3. The Second Filing is only about half developed. The problem is
there just has not been any real action out there for some time now. The
property may be redeveloped at some point, and it may be possible to tie
the improvements on North Lemay to such a redevelopment. Although the City
did not exercise its option to cause the improvements to be completed in a
satisfactory manner, the City can probably withhold the issuance of future
certificates of occupancy until the improvements are completed as per the
agreements. The completion of the improvements would then be contingent
upon the Developer developing the remaining portion of the Filing. This
may not be soon enough to meet specific needs.
4. The options available to the City to complete the improvements
along this section of North Lemay include: 1.) establishing a SID, 2.)
absorbing the costs for the improvements, 3.) trying to sue the Developer
for the completion of the improvements based on the development that has
occurred thus far, or 4.) waiting for the remaining portion of the plat to
be developed.
- Establishing a SID may be difficult to justify. If taken in
conjunction with the Thomas Property it may be easier to justify;
however, the purpose for needing a sidewalk along the entire
stretch may be called into question.
- Absorbing the costs could be expensive but could be coordinated
with the eventual upgrading of North Lemay to arterial standards.
- Suing the Developer may turn out to be "throwing good money after
bad" given.the past track record of the Developer.
- If a sidewalk is necessary now along this stretch of North Lemay,
waiting may not be an option. However, waiting may be the
cheapest option, and, if selected, Paul Eckman recommends that
the agreement be recorded as well as a "notice of development
prohibition" similar to the one recorded some years ago regarding
Foothills Park resubdivision.
D. North Lemay P.U.D.
1. An agreement between the City, and Retland, Inc. the DevelooerN
and Dieioris ana Idi ibur i;abcOCK (the owners) was entered into on March 24,
1988. As per the agreement:
- the Developer agreed to install all streets, curbs, gutters, and
sidewalks as shown on the approved utility plans, and in
compliance with the standards and specifications of the City
subject to a three year time limitation from the date of
execution of the agreement. North Lemay, adjacent to this
property, is included on the utility plans.
- The City agreed to reimburse the Developer for oversizing Lemay
Avenue for the difference between residential street standards
and arterial street standards for that portion of Lemay Avenue
from the center line of Conifer Street to the south property line
of the site. As discussed previously, the Developer is still
responsible for improvements, to include paving, curbing,
gutters, and sidewalks, to bring street up to residential
standards.
2. When the property is developed, the Developer is responsible for
making the necessary improvements to North Lemay, to include the sidewalk.
Unless a sidewalk is needed sooner, the City should wait for the property
to be developed.
3. The bridge for North Lemay over the Lake Canal is located near the
south boundary of this P.U.D. The distribution of costs for constructing
the bridge is not addressed in the March 24, 1988 agreement. However, an
agreement between the City and Evergreen Park 2 (December 15, 1977), for
the Third Filing included responsibilities for construction of the bridge.
Provisions of this second agreement included:
- The Developer (Evergreen Park 2) agreed to participate in the
improvements to the bridge equal to one -forth of the total cost
to construct the bridge.
- The bridge was to be completed no later than within two years
following the completion of an agreement between the Ditch
Company and the City relative to the crossing. This agreement
has not been completed.
4. Unfortunately, because the costs and responsibilities for
construction of the -bridge are not mentioned in the March, 1988 agreement,
it is doubtful that the City can avoid paying the total costs associated
with its construction. (Unless a SID is established which would include
improvements to the bridge.) Conversations with Paul Eckman suggest that
it is unlikely that the City can hold Evergreen Park 2 to the original
agreement. Their property no longer abutts North Lemay, thus they could
argue that they do not have a responsibility for improvements along North
Lemay, including the bridge. And, because the bridge was not mentioned in
the agreement for the North Lemay Plaza, they do not have responsibility
for those improvements as a part of their development agreement. Paul

one as to North Lemay Plaza unaer the legal theory of "novation."
iiI. summary
Responsibility for the improvements along the west side of North Lemay from
just south of Conifer to Forest Hills Lane varies between the City and the
Developer. The sidewalk along the northern section is complete while the
portion from the southern boundary of the North Lemay Plaza P.U.D. to the
northern boundary of the Evergreen Park P.U.D. Second Filing has yet to be
completed. North Lemay has yet to be upgraded to arterial standards along
the entire stretch.
The City has not exercised its right to cause the improvements to be
completed within the established timeframes of various agreements between
the City and the Developers, particularly Evergreen Park 2. Because of
this, it is doubtful that the City can now force the Developer to complete
the improvements to the bridge over the Lake Canal. For these improvements
the City will probably have to "foot -the -bill" if and when the improvements
are deemed necessary. However, the City may be able to withhold
certificates of occupancy for the remaining development within Evergreen
Park P.U.D. Second Filing until the requisite improvements are completed.
An alternative option is to establish a SID along this stretch of road;
however, it may be difficult to justify.
Improvements along the Thomas Property would require the acquisition of
additional right-of-way. Currently, the City does not own enough
right-of-way to properly construct a sidewalk. If the owner would not want
to sell any property to the City, condemnation procedures could be
initiated. The costs of such procedures could very well outweigh the
benefits. Other options for this stretch could include establishment of a
SID or widening the asphalt without constructing a sidewalk.
This report does not address the larger question of whether or not the
strc:—it ;... ^r "-In_ sik really are required at tnis time. Ii'
they are the City should be prepared to incur some of the costs for the
upgrade.

Dear Doug:
As per your request. I am sending you the information on the development of
the remainder of the lots in Evergreen Park "rid Filing.
The utility plans for Evergreen Park, 2nd Filing, were approved in November
of 1976 and some of the public improvements were constructed within the two
years of approval. The public improvements that are not constructed at this
time will need to be completed before a building permit can be issued for the
remaining lots. Sense the Utility Plans for this development have expired, a
new or revised set of plans using the current City of Fort Collins standards
will need to be submitted and approved before improvements are constructed.
Also, the proposed improvements on North Lemay will need to be constructed
before building permits will be released. The City will participate in the
design and construction of North Lemay through the street oversizing fund.
The above comments are relating only to Engineering Department items. I
would suggest that you sign up for a Conceptual Review time slot by contact-
ing the Planning Department at 221-6750. This will allow you to get comments
from all affected City Departments.
If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6750.

THRU: Donald M. Parsons, City Engineer lq —
FROM: Bob Smith, Drainage Engineer 9F�;,
RE: Off -site drainage for Greenbriar P.U.D.
As the City approaches a limit in its ability to provide adequate
public service for its urban area, the frequency of new development occurring
adjacent to existing subdivisions increases. Often, such existing sub-
divisions were designed and constructed in accordance with standards and
specifications; less stringent than those presently in use. This is true
in the case of urban storm drainage, particularly as it relates to surface
runoff. At its August 24th meeting, the Storm Drainage Board discussed
an example of the problems associated with this type of situation.
The Second Filing of Evergreen Park Subdivision, which is presently under
construction, was apparently approved without requiring that adequate
provisions be made to allow for the passage of historical drainage through
the site. Such provisions have become critical in view of the City's
present policy of directing storm runoff toward natural drainageways.
Greenbriar P.U.D., a proposed development directly north of Evergreen
Park 2nd, has discovered in the course of a preliminary drainage analysis
that this presents a serious problem with regard to the discharge of its
storm runoff. The direction of the historical drainage for this area is
generally southerly, through both Greenbriar and Evergreen Park toward
Dry Creek. The development of Evergreen Park 2nd has essentially blocked
the natural flow of surface runoff.
This problem may be corrected by means of a number of engineering solutions.
The real issue is to determine an equitable distribution of the financial
responsibilities associated with these solutions. To date, the City has
required development to pay its own way, relieving the City of any sub-
stantial responsibility. There are basically three alternatives in dealing
with these situations:
(1) Require the developer to pay for the complete drainage system which will
channel his storm runoff to a suitable outlet. Depending on the location
of the development, such an outlet may be either on- or off -site.
(2) Require the City to participate directly in the costs of these drainage
systems.
RE: off -site drainage for Greenbriar P.U.D. Page 2
(3) Establish a fee based upon the estimated costs of construction
which allows those costs to be distributed among the affected
properties.
The third alternative appears to be the most equitable and feasible.
Preliminary cost estimates for the Greenbriar drainage system range
between $48,000 and $98,000 depending upon which design solution is
finally accepted. The fees for this system could be assigned in con-
junction with the subdivision improvement agreements for the developments
within the area.
Due to the time constraints associated with this development, it is
recommended that the City take immediate action to retain a consultant
to prepare a design for this drainage system. The expense of the consultant
will be distributed within the fees for the project.

Dear Per. Engemoen,
I represent Mr. Giroux and 11r. Lyle Carpenter regarding their
interest in the above property.
I spoke to you in December regarding the placement of a bond
with the City of Fort Collins. The bond represented the cost
of the necessary improvements for the above mentioned property.
When we discussed this in December, you suggested that the
owners secure a report from an engineer estimating the cost of
the needed improvements. I have attached that report that was
secured from Mr. Fred Jackson.
With this information, I would assume that your department
could establish a bond amount. When this is done, I would ap-
preciate your notifying me so that we may secure the necessary
documents to execute a bond representing the mentioned improve-
ments.
I appreciate your assistance, and anticipate hearing from you.

Our records indicate 34 building permits issued to date with this
last being Number 35. I think you will agree that the City has
acted in good faith regarding this matter but can no longer
maintain this stand. It is now time the detention systems are
constructed per utility plans and accepted by the City.
If I can be of any further help, please feel free to call me.
Yours truly,

Dear Pir_ Giroux:
Pursuant to the meeting held in Mr. Bingman's office today between
yourself, Mr. Bingman, Dave Stringer (City's Chief Construction Inspector)
and myself, the City will allow building permits to continue to be issued
within the referenced subdivision provided that the 2nd connection betcgeen
Foxtail Street and Conifer Street is improved through the base course.
This can be accomplished by either constructing Suqarpine Street from
Conifer to Foxtail or by constructing Sugarpine to Sitka Street and
Sitka Street to Conifer.
This authorization is given with the understanding that the original
developer of the referenced subdivision will complete the paving of
Conifer and the sidewalks adjacent to Conifer as soon as wear -her permits
this coming spring. we have written assurance from him that this will
he accomplished.
Sincerely,
