BOX S80, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80S22 PH (303) 484-4220 ENGINEERING DIVISION June 20, 1979 Mr. Reid Rosenthal Osprey Homes 300 Spinnaker Lane Fort Collins, Colorado Dear. Reid: Recently we inspected the trench left by crews from Allen Plumbing & Heating where they had tied sanitary sewer service from the Assembly of God Church into your Stonehenge 6th subdivision sanitary sewer. It became apparent during this inspection that the 8" sewer main which comes off of Solstice Drive north into what was called Aries Court between Manhole Nos. 5G-6 and 5G-7 is directly beneath the west curb and gutter in that cul-de-sac. obviously either the sewer or the curb and gutter have been mislocated. This configuration of the sanitary sewer cannot be maintained by the City until it is installed as shown on approved utility plans for Stonehenge 6th. Because this might necessitate relocation of the sewer we will be unable to release certificates of occupancy on any building which ties into this line,. EXT. 728 Please have your engineer submit a set of plans on this area to the City Development Engineer showing the existing con- figuration of curb and gutter, water main, and sewer main so a determination can be made as to how to best correct the problem. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call.

Owners Dunamis III LLLP 9132 W. Bowles Avenue A Littleton, CO 80123 Statement of Planning Objectives This project is consistent with the Land Use Code and City Plan. The lot is within the Low Density Residential District (R.L.) zoning. Public and private schools for elementary, intermediate and high school education is a permitted use subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board. Ridgeview Classical School is a charter school for kindergarten thmugh 12`s grade. The total allowed enrollment is 750 students. Current enrollment is 585 students. This addition is not intended for increasing allowed enrollment but for providing adequate physical facilities for current students. Classrooms presently are being used for two separate classes or functions. Orchestra, band and music practice rooms and karate are current functions occurring in the existing building but need to be more isolated for sound purposes. These are to be located in this proposed addition. The current playground will be located to the north of the proposed addition. This will help screen and provide more of a sound buffer to the residential neighbors to the east. The building exterior will be brick and EFIS to match the existing materials and colors. Bicycle parking is provided. A new sidewalk is proposed to connect to Stuart Street. The nearest fire station is located one mile west at Spring Creek and College Avenue. 3.2.1 Landscaping and Tree Protection A partial Landscape Plan is included. This is an established lot which currently has mature landscaping. New foundation plantings are planned around the new addition. No existing landscaping will. be removed except at the new sidewalk connection at Stuart Street. No parking area chemges are planned. 3.2.2 Access, C'.irculation and Parking A new sidewalk. will be constructed at the south and east sides of the new addition. This will connect the existing sidewalk from the school entrance to the sidewalk along Stuart Street. The existing traffic pattern diagram is included on the Submittal Plan. This identifies drop off and pick up areas during periods of classes beginning and ending. A traffic study its being prepared and will be available. 146 parking stalls plus 5 handicapped stalls totaling 151 exist now. No additional parking is planned. Schools require; 1 parking space per 4 seats in the auditorium. There is a 400 seat auditorium which equals ID0 stalls or 1 space per 1,000 s.f., 59,120/1,000 = 59, which ever requires the greatest number of parking spaces. 101-150 stalls require 5 handicap stalls. Bicycle parking requires 5% of total auto stalls, 151 x 5% = 8 bicycle parking spaces required. 17 spaces are provided. 3.2.3 Solar Access Orientation, Shading The existing entrance is located at the south, taking advantage of the solar access to keep sidewalks clear in winter. The planned addition will not cast shadows on adjacent properties. 3.2.4 Site Lighting Existing site lighting is by wall packs. This will remain the same. No additional site lighting is planned. 3.3.1 Plat Standards This lot is currently not a platted lot. 3.3.2 Development Improvements No off site improvements are planned. 3.3.3 Water Ha2ards None. 3.3.4 Hazards None 3.4.1 Natural Habitats and Features This lot is not located near any wetlands or natural areas. 3.4.2 Air Quality No noxious, toxic or corrosive particles created. 3.4.3 Water Qualms Impervious surface on the site will be decreased by removal of the pavement in the area of the relocated playground and the grassed play area. 3A.4 Noise an<I Vibration None created. 3.4.5 Hazardous Materials No hazardous materials are stored here. 3.4.6 Glare or Heat No additional exterior lighting is planned.

Lemay Ave. To Whom It May Concern: In response to the City of Fort Collin's questions in regard to Ridgeview Classical Schools and the Timberline Church facility, outlined here is a phased use master plan that will address the time line and scope of the proposed project and hope to address the scope concerns and submittal to date. The site plan submittal presented to the city was intended to inform and answer basic scope questions of the project. The time line for the project is very condensed, due to various circumstances, and as a result, has forced a scenario where the project will be required to be broken into several phases. Asa result, design consultants have just come on board, focusing on the first phase of the project. Standard submittal components- such as building elevations, can not be addressed at this time because they have not been started and will be pan of a later phase. Further, a charter school is a public school but funding for all components comes from a per student allocation. The budget pays for staff, curriculum and the facility and as a result the budgets are very limited and all improvements must be carefully evaluated on a priority basis. The design team is familiar with standard submittal procedures, the standards for design and the requirements for public schools. The hope is to address the critical issues that can be reasonable addressed within the limited scope of the project and acknowledge the city's desires as a long-term plan for the future. PROJECT PHASING: ❑ Phase I: Shared use with the church for Fall 2001 This phase consists of limited use of the existing church facility and limited use of the site for location of temporary classrooms. Specifically, a portion of the second floor classrooms will be remodeled for 4 high school classrooms along with use of 2727 RAV AN sr.

DIVISION 3.7 COMPACT URBAN GROWTH STANDARDS A traffic study is being prepared. Adequate water, sewer exists at the site. Electrical service will be upgraded. Existing services are shown on the site plan. In that no new utilities will be brought into the site, no engineered utility plans are submitted. A storm drainage letter is included with this submittal.

STEWART&ASSOCIATES February 9, 2004 Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Mr. Larry Trampe Architectural Resource; Group 1828 Wallenberg Drive Fort Collins, CO 80526 Dear Larry, This is regarding the proposed addition at the Ridgeview Classical School at 1800 South Lemay Avenue, Fort Collins, CO. The area where the two-story addition will be built is on historic impervious surface. The area was asphalt parking and playground. Therefore, there should not be additional detention required for the proposed building addition. There is an existing detention pond in the Northeast comer of the lot that discharges into Stuart Street. The high water line of the pond is 71.2. There also is a small pond on the West side of the school that discharges into Lemay Avenue. The finish floor of the school building is 73.85. The site does not increase runoff due to the proposed addition. If you have any questions regarding this stormwater letter, please call. Sincerely, RUr Richard A.

The classroom temporaries will fill some of the schools needs until completion and other uses will be postponed until Summer 2002 when the church has moved out. The addition design is at the concept master plan stage as illustrated on the site plan. Building design has not been developed at this time. Conceptually, the addition will be complementary to the existing brick masonry building conveying the new use of the facility. Using contrasting materials, color and brick masonry to give the building a new. updated facade along Lemay Ave, the addition will be an important phase to this project. To address the city's concerns, elevations will be made available for comment as soon as they are developed and will represent the level of quality expected by a facility of this kind. ❑ Phase III: Move -Out of the Church. Full Use of the Facility - Summer 2002 Once the church has moved, upon completion of their new facility, the school will have full use of the site. Remodel of the remaining church facility will occur at this time to satisfy the schools requirements. The temporary classrooms will be removed, Summer 2002. Any other improvements can be analyzed at this time. Site Issues: ❑ Shared Use Parking: Parking Requirements: The existing parking lot contains 201 spaces. 187 spaces will lDe available after the temporary classrooms have been located and will satisfy all the shared parking scenarios. Weekend Use: 187 spaces existing total. • Existing Sanctuary: 700 seats/4spaces = 175 spaces required. (Evening/Weekend use.) Weekday Use: 120 Spaces Total • Church: Limited Staff- 10 spaces • School: 25 staff and parent volunteers, 10-15 high school able to drive.

Page 3 ❑ Site Circulation: Drop -Off and pick-up will occur on the south side of the building. Cars will be required to enter from Stuart St. only, drop-off at the south walk and loop the parking lot and exit on the existing Stuart St. exit. The loop will provide plenty of interior site circulation to eliminate any backup on Stuart St. and potentially Lemay Ave. The school will also have a staggered start time with High School starting at 7:35, Elementary at 7:45 and Intermediate at 7:55 to eliminate any traffic congestion. We hope this clarifies some of the issues and concerns. It is the intent of Ridgeview Classical Schools to provide the community with a quality, education alternative and that the facility is a major component of this goal. Please forward any questions and concerns and we look forward to working together in the success of this project. Sincerely, Zeiler -Pennock, OHA Jeanne Z.

Box 580 Fort Collins. Colorado 80522 Subject: Ridgeview Classical School 1800 South Lemav To Whom It May Concern: This letter is conceming the proposed addition the Ridgeview Classical School and how this addition will impact the site drainage and detention. The addition consists of 6700 square feet of classroom space to the west side of the existing building. During construction of the addition, five temporary trailers will be arranged on the site. These trailers will serve as classrooms until the addition can be completed They will be installed in the summer of 2001, and removed after the church moves to their new facility in the spring/summer of 2002. The site currently has two detention ponds, one on the west of the site, and one on the east of the site. Based on the calculations of Phillip 1. Robinson, P.E. & L.S. of Stewart & Associates, the total required storage for the site is 32,918 cubic feet. The west pond volume is 1782 cubic feet, and the east pond volume is 32,010 cubic feet, for a total of 33,792 cubic feet. The temporary trailers will not impact the existing site drainage. Of the 7200 square feet of trailers, 2160 square feet will be located on existing hard. surfaces. The remaining 5040 square feet will be placed on landscaped areas, and will be elevated, allowing site drainage to flow undisturbed. The addition, however, will encroach upon the west detention pond, as well as require approximately 3000 cubic feet of additional storage. We propose re -grading both ponds. The west pond will be re -graded along the west elevation of the proposed addition to a depth of approximately 15 inches, and store a volume of 2563 cubic feet. A trickle channel will be added to the west pond. The slope of the west bank of the east pond will be increased, so that it will store a volume of 33,075 cubic feet. The combined volume 2727 BRYANT ST. SUITE 600 DENVER. CO 80211 (303)453-3322 FAX (703)455-3700 Sent By: ZP; 303 455 3708; Jun-15.01 10:20AM; Page 6/9 of both ponds will be 35.638 cubic feet. This is an increase of 2700 cubic feet. Modifications to the detention ponds will not alter the existing site drainage. If you have any comments or questions. please feel free to call me.

Jeanne Zeiler Fielding 2727 Bryant Street, #600 Denver, Colorado 80211 Dear Jeanne, The Board of Directors of Ridgeview Classical Schools has been very conscious of the potential traffic impact that the school may have. We are staggering start times to spread out the drop off and pick-up traffic. We are planning to start High School at 7:35, Elementary at 7:45 and Intermediate at 7:55. Our Intermediate school serves a small number of students, 51, therefore lessening the impact the school's traffic will create during the heaviest volume time. The current configuration of students shows that 192 students will he arriving at 7:45. Considerably less, 31 will arrive at 7:35 These staggered start times also play a role in safety for our students. The oldest students wi11 be in class when our youngest students arrive. New drivers will arrive prior to our younger students. The church has attendance of appros- 700. Ridgeview Classical Schools will serve between 350-480 students. The intersection of Stuart and Lemay handles traffic generated by these, churchgoers. Even at our maximum capacity this year Ridgeview Classical Schools traffic will be dealing with at most 530 Students, staff and volunteers. This is less than 75% of the Church's population. The school will organizes and strongly encourage carpooling, thus lessoning the impact of the traffic. Since our school will serve students in grades K-11, most students have siblings that will also attend the school. The actual figures using the students enrolled thus far, 350 students represent 230 families. This again reduces the impact on traffic, the close start times allow families to drop off all students at the same time. Our kindergarten students attend school two full days and one half day each week. Therefore the noontime traffic is affected on one day of the week only. There are 30 Kindergarteners per class so some will be picked up at approx. 10:45, while others will be dropped off at about 11:45. Ridgeview Classical Schools will not impact in a significant way the parking availability to the medical offices on the north side of Stuart. At most Ridgeview Classical Schools will have 15 students that are able to drive. At any given time is seems unlikely that Ridgeview Classical Schools will occupy over 50 parking spaces, combining Students, Staff and Volunteers. We will have a closed campus, therefore students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch. There again will be little or no impact on lunchtime traffic. If you have any suggestions or know of any other ways that we could adjust our schedule to reduce traffic let me know. It does appear that the traffic generated by Ridgeview Classical Schools will be significantly less than that of the church, and the roads that access 1800 South Lemay were designed in order to handle a much higher level of traffic. Note: all numbers used are based on currently enrolled students. As enrollment grows the spread of students will be proportionate. There are potentially 139 more spaces in the elementary school, 39 spaces available in the Intermediate School and 59 spaces in the high School.
