Mike Herzig City Engineer P.O. Box 580 City of Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 V7, ;. RE: FAIRBROOKE II:[ STREET VARIANCE APR 2 1987 Dear Mr. Herzig, DEgAPI"limENT We are hereby requesting a variance in the Street Design Standards in this pro- posed subdivision,. Following are the Design Criteria (Design Criteria and Standards for Streets, City of Fort Collins, 1986) and the proposed design conditions and comments: DESIGN CRITERIA Sec. 1.02.03.02 Angle of Intersection Right angle if possikle, Maximum deflection of 10 PROPOSED CONDITION Hampshire Road is 68' ROW on Curve with Centerline Radius = 410'. Intersection at the Centerline of ROW'S is at an 80 angle. The tangent is 65' long to the West on Coventry Court or 37' more or less, behind the edge of Hampshire Road. This will allow for 2 Holding spaces on the tangent line. Coventry Court (54' ROW) curves to the Left going West with Centerline Radius = 240' for L = 124' with a central angle of 290 34'. This curve approaching the tangent and Hamp- shire allows adequate sight distance for stopping. The entrance location was dictated by having to align with Coventry Court to the East. No other location is feasible along this frontage of the property. A curve to the South was required at this location to provide a reasonable lot depth between Coventry Court and Bauder Elementary School. This street plan provides the most efficient lot layout considering all other factors. Mr. Mike Herzig, City E, .neer Fort Collins, CO. 80522 RE: FAIRBROOKE III STREET VARIANCE DESIGN CRITERIA Section 1.02.03.03 Horizon- tal Radius Minimum Centerline Radius = 240' *Design Speed 30 mph. Section 1.02.03.04 Tangent length Minimum 100' *Design Speed 30 mph. (*with lower Design Speeds allowed). April 1, 1987 PROJECT 140. 105-852 PROPOSED CONDITION Centerline R = 146' with deflection angle of 26 39'. This radius lies entirely within the Cul-de-Sac area and will not affect the sight distances or turning movements around the Cul- de-Sac on Coventry Court. Anticipated speed 10 mph or less, is based on visible dead end Cul-de-Sac and Dead End street sign at Fairbrooke Court. Cross swales in Fairbrooke Court will also slow speed approaching this curve. Traffic will'be minimal to serve the lots on this Cul-de-Sac. DESIGN CRITERIA PROPOSED CONDITION Section 1.02.03.09e: Curb and The Cul-de-Sac at the North end of Fairbrooke Gutter: Minimum Curb Return Court has a curb radius of 15.95 feet. This Radius shall be twenty (20) feet. results from the restricted street and lot lay- out, and the City's request to hold a standard 36' flowline width on the entrance to the Cul- de-Sac. This is an adequate return for this location and will affect only four or five lots. We believe the access and sight distances are adequate and the conditions proposed are safe and reasonable for this project. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, McRae & Short, Inc.

Drake Fort Collins, Colorado Re: Street and traffic signs in the Fairbrooke 1st, 2nd and 3rd Dear Mr. Developer: My office has been informed by Dick Wartenbe of the City Traffic Department that the signs installed in the Fairbrooke 1st, 2nd, 3nd Developments are substandard and do not meet the City's criteria for signs. Dick has talked with your sign contractor, Rocky Mountain Safety Services, and was not satisfied with their response. Therefore, as the developer of this project, it is your responsibility to the City that your sub -contractors provide acceptable products and work. Please be informed that until such time as the signs are brought up to the City standard, Certificates of Occupancy will not be issued for any structure within this development. If you have any questions regarding specific corrections to the signs in this development, please contact Dick Wartenbe at 221-6815.

I'm referring to the boxes you place in new subdivisions that have the mail box for several houses at one location. The location of concern is on Cedarwood Drive just west of Hampshire Road. The mail box is located adjacent to a pedestrian path that runs north/south from the back of Bauder Elementary School to Cedarwood. The present location of the box is a potential safety hazard because it blocks the view of children coming southbound along the pedestrian path. Westbound vehicles approaching the pedestrian path cannot see children hidden behind the box. The age of the children and the slope of the pedestrian path downward towards the street compounds the problem. The mail box station is a sight obstruction and needs to be relocated. Relocating the box to the west 50 feet would address this potentially dangerous situation. I am requesting that the mail box be relocated. If you have any questions or do not concur with our findings please contact me as soon as possible. Sincerely, D.
