RE: Four Seasons Fifth Filing
1972-008
Dear Mr. Ryder:
In accordance with your May 22, 1985 letter to M & I/Donohue and subsequent
meetings with various staff, we are submitting the preliminary PUD for Four
Seasono Fifth Filing. We will address the items numbered to coincide with your
letter.
0 All drainage tracts will be dedicated to the City.
2. A tabulation of lot sizes was already on the plat.
0 Tract A is open space/detention and will be dedicated to the City.
4� We hereby request that Michie Drive be changed to Wabash Street within the
Four Seasons Second Filing. There are no homes fronting on Michie Drive.
We have revised the limits of Tradition Drive as requested. We also request
that Boulder Drive within the Park South PUD be changed to Dennison Avenue.
All lots fronting on Boulder Drive are undeveloped and have a secondary
address on a side street. The owners of these lots are shown on Attachment
"An
5. We have responded to the items relating to the density chart. We appreciate
your assistance on this item.
6. We have excluded the school site from the PUD. However, the school will be
signing the PUD as a co-owner because they own to the center of the adjacent
streets and the PUD will extend to the school side of the right-of-way. We
have revised Benthaven Street and Tradition Drive to a 36' width. The City
will pay for oversizing of Wabash Street from 36' to 44' in width.
7. We will add the fire hydrant to the construction plans.

Re: Exhibit "'B" - Four Seasons Fifth Filing
Dear Marty,
Attached is the estimate I have prepared for Four Seasons Fifth
drainage repayment. Let me briefly explain each item:
1. Channel excavation. I used your number of 8441 c.y. and
subtracted the volume occupied by the rip -rap and bedding (3660)
to get the 4781.
2. As we discussed over the phone, credit will not be given for
rip -rap or bedding.
3. Land acquisition. Drainage tracts and easements are
purchased at 80% of the land value. My quick but incomplete
check of values gave the $22,500 number. I went with your number
of 0.65 acre. A more thorough determination of land values will
be conducted, so the $22,500 figure can be adjusted if necessary.
4. Professional fees. Another area of possible negotiation.
Based on the work I have had done recently by other local
engineering firms I felt that $2,500 was reasonable for that
portion of this project that is actually assessible to the City.
5. Street crossings. The City will not participate in these
costs because they are not outlined in the master plan and hence
not included in the determination of basin fees.
I have also given a copy of this letter and exhibit to Bonnie
Tripoli to include in the Development Agreement for Four Seasons
Fifth. Please review and contact me as soon as possible if you
wish to negotiate changes. Bonnie needs final figures Monday.

Dear Ms. Tripoli:
As your records will indicate, on or about October 15, 1984,
Brown Farm Joint Venture submitted to the City of Fort Collins
an agreement between themselves and Greyrock Development Company,
a Joint Ven'_ure, indicating the measures to be taken prior to
receiving permission from Greyrock Development Company to dis—
char�.,e storm waters on and across Park South subdivision.
Among_ other things, this Memorandum of Agreement provided that
this work to be done by Brown Farm Joint Venture as a condition
of discharging storm waters onto and across Park South subdivi—
sion would be completed within six months of the date of the
agreement (April 15, 1985). The purpose of this letter is to
inform you that the said work was not completed as of April 15,
1985, and, in fact, is still not completed.
Greyrock Development Company is in the process of selling the
property involved, and no storm water will be accepted until
and unless a valid easement signed by all of the parties in
interest is formally executed.
Yours sincerely,
GREYROCK DEVELOP14ENT COMPANY

Re: Middel Enterprises, Inc., et al., vs. Brown Farm
Joint Venture, et al. (Civil Action No. 86CV471)
Dear Steve:
I am writing in response to your letter of December 23, 1987.
TELEPHONE
M3.493, A
You indicated that the City maintains that the status quo presents
a health and safety hazard to the public. I do not understand
this allegation. What health and safety hazard is presented? I`_
you are concerned with the possibility of flooding, I suggest you
first determine whether or not the pumping equipment currently
in place is adequate to meet this concern. If not, I suggest
that the City require Brown Farm Joint Venture to make appropriate
modifications to their detention facility in order to avoid any
concerns you have. There has already been testimony by engineers
produced by Brown Farm Joint Venture who have acknowledged that
there are alternatives available to Brown Farm Joint Venture to
alleviate these concerns. The question presented to you seems
to be whether you, on behalf of the City, will require Brown
Farm Joint Venture to incur the time and expense to modify their
detention facility, or whether you will continue to cause damage
and inconvenience to my clients and continue to assist Brown
Farm Joint Venture in shifting the responsibility for detaining
storm drainage water to my clients. The law seems very clear
that Brown Farm Joint Venture is obligated to take appropriate
action to insure that storm drainage water is detained and
discharged in the historic manner at historic rates. I do not
understand why the City is so interested in altering this
common law obligation for the benefit of Brown Farm Joint Venture
and to the detriment of my clients.
Page 2
January 7, 1933
Stephen J.Roy
You indicate that the City is prepared to negotiate with my
clients for the acquisition of a storm drainage easement. My
clients have always been willing to enter into good faith
negotiations with either the City or Brown Farm Joint Venture.
However, in the past, neither the City or Brown Farm Joint Venture
has been willing to negotiate in good faith. Apparently our
success in District Court has had some impact on the Citv and
Brown Farm Joint Venture's attitude in this respect. ..y clients
are ready, willing and able to meet with you and/or representatives
of Brown Farm Joint Venture at any convenient time and location to
enter into good faith negotiations regarding the matters in
dispute. Please let me know your desires in this regard.
As you know, the City is on record with respect to its acknowledge-
ment that neither the City nor Brown Farm Joint Venture possess an
easement for construction of underground pipe upon my clients'
property. Brown Farm Joint Venture prepared an easement which
was never signed or delivered by my clients. The District Court
has determined that no such easement exists by virtue of the
recorded Plat. We are preparing to file appropriate Motions to
resolve all remaining issues of liability,if any, and proceed to
a determination of the amount of damages to which my clients are
entitled as a result of the trespass. We will of course serve
you with any Motions which are filed since the City is now a
party defendant in the action. As a party defendant, it is my
opinion that the City is potentially jointly and severally
liable for the damages to which my client is entitled. This is
an issue separate and distinct from any award that may be made
in the condemnation action which you threaten.
Regarding the threatened condemnation action, I acknowledge the
existence of case law indicating that although the determination
of the constitutional issues of public use and necessity are
ultimately judicial, that the Courts give great weight to the
prior determination of public necessity by legislative bodies,
and generally do not disturb those determinations in the absence
of fraud or bad faith. However, it is also clear that an_y attempt
to take private property for a private benefit under the guise
of a public benefit is a legal fraud on the owner, notwithstanding
the absence of fraudulent intent on the part of the appropriators.
In this case, there is a body of common law creating an obligation
upon Brown Farm Joint Venture to discharge water in the historic
manner and historic quantities. If Brown Farm Joint Venture were
to perform its common law obligations, no public need would exist.
This is not a case of some incidental private benefit. In this
Page 3
January 5, 1988
Stephen J. Roy
case, public need can only be based upon the failure and refusal
of Brown Farm Joint Venture to perform its common law obligations.
If the City were to require Brown Farm Joint Venture to construct
an adequate detention facility and to discharge water in the
historic manner and historic quantity no oublic need would exist.
Any perceived public need has been artificially created by the
actions and ommissions of the City and Brown Farm Joint Venture.
These actions and ommissions amount to fraud upon my clients.
The law seems clear to me that any taxpayer has standing to
question the use of public monies to aid Brown Farm Joint Venture
in minimizing its development costs.
I would like you to tell me whether or not the City of Fort Collins
has ever previously, to your knowledge, condemned private property
in order to aid upstream 'private property owners in detaining and
discharging their storm drainage water. My understanding is that
the City has previously acted as if these matters were private and
has required upstream developers to discharge in the historic
manner and historic quantity, or to negotiate and obtain privately
such easements as the upstream owner may have felt to be necessary.
If this is not in fact the case, it might have some bearing on
my analysis of my clients' position.
Your letter indicates that you think there is a viable argument to
be made that subsequent actions of the property owners, in their
dealings with the City, did constitute a dedication, at least by
estoppel. Of course, I do not agree. The letter of June 15, 1978
approved by Ronald Strahle has absolutely nothing to do with the
issues at hand. The letter from Ronald Strahle to Arthur E. March
of June 15, 1978 relates solely to storm drainage from the Park
South Subdivision and the detention pond referred to is the
detention pond downstream from Park mouth. I have personally
discussed this matter with Art March. Art has told me that he
was aware of the fact that the language contained in the County
Plat did not result in a public dedication. Art has also
acknowledged that he was unaware of any conditions being imposed
upon annexation which related to the dedication or granting of an
easement for the benefit of the Four Seasons Development. In fact,
I have reviewed a substantial amount of documentation and
interviewed most of the people involved. It is my firm belief
that there were no conditions imposed related to discharge of storm
drainage water from Four Seasons. It seems clear that all parties
assumed that the discharge of storm drainage water would be handled
in the usual fashion; that Four Seasons would discharge in the
Page 4
January 5, 1988
Stephen J. Roy
historic manner and historic quantity; that the owners of Four
Seasons would be required to construct such detention facilities
so as to insure this historic manner and quantity of discharge;
and that the downstream owners would be required to carry_ storm
drainage water which had been detained and discharged in this
manner.
Steve, I feel like you are missing the issue. My clients do not
dispute their obligation to carry the storm drainage water discharged
from Four Seasons, so long as those storm drainage waters are
discharged in the historic manner and historic quantity. The
problem which we all face has been caused by the failure of Brown
Farm Joint Venture to construct storm drainage detention facilities
which provide for the discharge of storm dranage waters from Four
Seasons in the historic manner and historic quantity. This entire
problem can be resolved by requiring Brown Farm Joint Venture to
modify their storm drainage detention facilities to provide for the
discharge of storm drainage water in the historic manner and
historic quantity. There is no reason for the City of Fort Collins
to become involved unless, for some reason, the City desires to
relieve Brown Farm Joint Venture from performing its obligations.
Your letter implies that Mr. Strahle or Mr. Dilsaver at some
point made false representations regarding the storm drainage
issue. I have discussed this matter with Mr. Strahle and
Mr. Dilsaver personally in the past. I am very impressed by the
honesty and integrity of Mr. Strahle and Mr. Dilsaver. I think
both of these gentlemen's credentials are impecable. If you have
any knowledge of any specific representation made by either
Mr. Strahle or Mr. Dilsaver, I would appreciate you letting me
know what was said or agreed to, when, and with whom.
Your letter indicates that you apparently believe that I
represent Grevrock Development. That is not the case. I have
never represented Greyrock Development. I do represent all of
the Plaintiffs in the above referenced civil action.
I urge you to take immediate action to arrange a meeting between
all affected parties at which we can attempt to resolve all
existing disputes through good faith negotiations. If you intend
to apply to the City Council for authority to condemn on
January 19, 1988, I would appreciate you providing all affected
parties with reasonable advance notice in order that all affected
parties could appear. As I have said, I think any taxpayer has
Page S

standing to object to the use of public funds for the benefit
of a private developer.

RE: Four Seasons 5th Filing
Dear Bonnie:
This letter of agreement is intended to serve notice that Brown
Farm Joint Venture and Greyrock Development have arrived at an
agreement by which Greyrock Development will grant an easement for
the installation of a permanent storm pipe serving the outflow of
the Tract A detention pond of the Four Seasons Fifth Filing Develop-
ment, and abiding by the terms of an earlier agreement between the
same two :parties.
In consideration of this easement, Brown Farm Joint Venture has agreed
to handle nuisance water generated from the pond in an acceptable
manner previously discussed with Greyrock Development. In addition,
Brown Fann Joint Venture will be responsible for the maintenance of
the pipe until such time as the Homeowner's Association takes control,
at which time it will be transferred to them as part of the drainage
facility.
The actual easement will be forthcoming upon review and acceptance
by Greyra::k Development.
Sincerely,
Greyrock Development,

Temporary Road Access
Dear Dave:
This letter is being written to inform you of the status of
access to the Poudre R1 school facility presently under
construction within Four Seasons Fifth Filing. As you are
probably aware, the weather caught us in the middle of curt) and
gutter construction within the development and we were unable to
get road base down for the winter months.
In an effort to provide ail -weather access to the school site for
Baldwin Construction and City emergency services over the winter
months a temporary road has been constructed from the present end
of pavement on Wabash Street west to the facility. This temporary
road was constructed of Your inches of non -spec road base twenty
feet wide and is installed around the north and west sides of the
buildinq terminating in an eighty foot diameter turnaround at the
southwest corner. This temporary road will provide ready access
to the two existing fire hydrants presently installed near the
northwest and southwest corners of the building. Please refer to
the enclosed print for further detail.
Permanent street improvements will be completed as soon as
weather permits in the 1986 construction season and this
temporary road alignment will be abandoned. Please forward this
information to the proper emergency services contacts. If you
have any questions or comments please contact me at 223-8654.

there is a plan view of the aluminum railing. The factory
is unable to determine the exact spacing and overall
length required. Would you please have the engineer
fill in these dimensions in this plan view. They are
not sure whether this overall length should be 381 or
35'-6".
Please return at least two copies of the drawings to us

MEMORANDUM
TO: Steven Burkett, City Manager
THROUGH: Gary Diede, City Engineer
FROM: Bonnie Tripoli, Development Coordinator T /
DATE: April 11, 1986
SUBJECT: Amendment Agreement for Four Seasons 5th Filing
Four Seasons 5th has a problem getting their drainage downstream. Staff
had requested an off -site easement to facilitate this. The owners of
the off -site property agreed in a letter to the easement, but due to
logistics, could not sign the deed. Meanwhile, they sold the ground
to another party who does not want the easement on his ground. (The
developer had approached the new property owner for the purchase of
the easement„ but the owner was "unreasonable" in his demands.) Staff
then did extensive research and found that when the ground was platted
a drainage easement was "reserved". (It was platted in the County.)
Staff feels that the developer of Four Seasons 5th, by holding the City
harmless and agreeing to defend the City if suit arises, has done all
that we feel is necessary.
Transmitted herewith are the original and three (3) copies of the
development agreement for the subject subdivision or PUD executed by
the developer.
Please review and sign as required and forward to the City Clerk for
further processing.
Thank you.
OVERSIZING: None with this agreement.

'j�anks,
It is our understanding that Shiloh is the construction manager
for the Four Seasons Fifth Filing development. Ted Borstad of
our office lives in the area and recently noticed a potential
problem developing on Benthaven Street between lots 8 and 9. As
an agent for the developer, you need to be aware of this situa-
tion. We've also alerted Tom Gathmann of the City Storm Water
Utility and Dan Wheeler of the condition described below.
Benthaven Street is the low point for a significant drainage
area. A drainage channel for 100-year flow from this sub -basin,
shown on sheet 5, detail D, and on sheet 30, Section B of the
Four Seasons Fifth Filing drawings, was provided in the design.
The 100-year storm runoff within the channel is significant,
amounting to 80 cfs. All efforts should be made to see that the
channel is built per design. At present, it is not evident that
the intended construction of the channel has occurred. Note that
section B, sheet 30 shows a channel flowline which drops off from
the back -of -walk elevation 1 foot in 10 feet, and then falls off
to the Tract A detention pond at 1%. Underneath the channel is
the 2-year storm drainage pipe.
This channel is essential to
storms exceeding the 2-year.

RE: FOUR SEASONS FIFTH FILING
STORM DRAINAGE FACILITIES CERTIFICATION
Dear Mr, Gathman,
In accordance with the Drainage Facility Approval Policy, we are hereby sub-
mitting the "As Build" drawings and certifications.
As the construction engineer, we have staked, inspected and made final calcu-
lations on the installed drainage system in the First Phase (i,e. Fifth Filing)
of this subdivision. We find the construction to be in close conformance to
the approved design and plan.
All storm drainage inlets and pipes were installed according to the plans. The
detention pond volume was calculated from survey information taken May 14, 1986,
The volume was calculated and found to be short at this time. The pond was re -
staked for final excavation on June 23, 1986. Field inspection on July 16, 1986
showed the pond had been excavated as specified and does contain approximately
11.3 A F in the main basin, i.e. South of Dennison Avenue at a spillway eleva-
tion of 58,5. The Drainage Study calls for a minimum of 8,8 A F at a High Water
Line of 57.5.
The pond has been constructed with proper side slopes, overflow and outlet. The
trickle channel was modified from a concrete channel to a "French Drain" system
and will become part of the maintenance requirement of the Home Owner's Associa-
tion,

With the close of construction for the winter season. I have prepared
this letter in an attempt to document the status of improvements
within Four Seasons Fifth Filing - Phase I.
All improvements for this filing are complete at this time with the
e_-tceation of some final adjustments to the storm detention pond. Tasks
remaining within this pond include covering the French drain system
with filter blanket and fine grading and seeding of the pond invert.
The overflow channel entering the pond from the west side remains to
be seeded and cobble rip -rap is to placed at the outlet.
The tasks indicated above shall be completed as soon as weather
permits this spring. A certification of completion of storm drainage
improvements for this filing was completed by McRae & Short
Engineering of Greeley last fall and a copy should be in your file at
this time. When the remaining tasks are complete we will contact the
City for a final release on this project.
Unless we hear from you in
indicated we will assume that
assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Rick Mattingly

26. Tract B will be deeded to the adjacent property owner. The only landscaping
located in a drainage tract is the open space/detention, Tract A. Because
this is a pond rather than a flowing channel, the placement of a few trees
will not impact the detention function. We have placed a note on the Land-
scape Plan regarding fencing along drainage tracts.
We have not yet received comments on the utility plans.
We have responded to each of the items and would be happy to discuss the pro-
ject.

Re: Four Seasons 5th Filing
Dear .Jim
This letter is being written as the result of our meeting last week
to discuss a number of situations which you were concerned about
regarding development at Four Seasons 5th Filing.
I have discussed your concerns in detail with the developer. Brown
Farm Joint Venture, and have been directed to address these concerns
right away. As a result I will attempt to document herein their
position on the items which we had discussed.
THE VILLAGE AT FOUR SEASONS - PHASE TWO
This location is presently a vacant tract. You had voiced several
concerns. First, the tract had been left in a state of uncompleted
overlot grading and secondly, you were concerned that no permanent
drainage plan or easements exist on this tract for drainage which is
passing through to the new detention pond from an earlier phase of
the development.
You are correct in these observations. As I had stated, overlot
grading had not been completed to date due to the fact that the
builder who had the option on the tract decided late last year not
to follow through and therefore Brown Farm Joint Venture was
undecided as to what to do about finishing the overlot grading in
question. But, as you saw at the site, we presently have Eckhardt
Construction completing this grading with engineered fill for proper
compaction.
In regard to drainage through the tract, this situation existed when
the property was purchased from the original developer, Chism Homes.
This situation was not intentional. Quite honestly, this question
never crossed anyone's mind until you pointed it out and would
undoubtadly have never come up if the tract had been developed to
the originally intended schedule.
The developer is agreeable to providing a temporary drainage plan
and permanent easement to cover this tract but is in somewhat of a
quandary at this time. As you are aware, we have a rather complex
problem occurring at this time with the outlet'of the downstream
detention pond. As the result of a meeting with Bob Smith of City
Page 2
Drainage late last week to discuss various options to solve this
this problem we may ultimately need to detain some drainage within
this tract. This may be temporary or permanent. If this occurs it
will obviously have major impact on how overall drainage and
development takes place within this tract. Our best estimate is that
it will be several weeks before a final decision can be made as to
the outcome due to the fact that the courts are involved.
In the interim the developer would be glad to provide the City with
a letter of commitment that they understand that a plan of how the
drainage will be handled until this tract is developed must be
submitted for approval and that a permanent easement must be
provided. In consideration of the turmoil being created by the
adjoining landowner this is the only reasonable action which can be
proposed at this time.
HOMEOWNER COMPLAINTS AND DETENTION POND
It is our understanding that the City has received a number of
complaints from homeowner's regarding a variety of questions. As you
had pointed out, most of these complaints have nothing to do with
the City but should be addressed by the Homeowner's Association.
Virtually all of the homeowner complaints you mentioned had to do
with issues regarding the detention pond tract. This detention pond
is not to be City maintained but, rather, is to be maintained by the
Homeowner's Association, ironically the very people who were
complaining. We are of the opinion that a miscommunication exists
between the homeowners regarding responsibilities of the
Association. We are in the process of attempting to correct this.
This pond had been completed to the point that we had requested a
final inspection by the City a number of weeks ago. Certification
report documents were completed by McCrae and Short Engineering last
fall and this information was reviewed and approved by Mr. Tom
Gathman of City Drainage. The overt actions of the downstream
property owner in blocking the pond outlet has obviously created a
question of extent of potential damage to the completed
hydro -seeding, fine grading and sub -drain system, as well as to the
ultimate method of positive outlet. The developer is actively
attempting to resolve these issues as soon as possible. Bob Smith
has been fully apprised of the developer's plans to correct this
situation. As an update, the developer is meeting with the
downstream owner i,n Denver tomorrow, June 30, in another attempt to
reach a reasonable agreement.
In reference to the issue of lot owners placing fill into the
detention pond the developer had nothing to do with this action and
is in total agreement that this obviously cannot be allowed to
continue and the fill that has taken place must be removed. As I had
pointed out, the developer is now in a compromising position in that
the detention pond tract is presently actually deeded to the
Homeowner's Association and they now have an obligation to assist us
Page 3
in correcting these problems. Toward this end Mr. Dan Wheeler and I
have scheduled a meeting with officers of the, Association on the
site Monday, July 6 at 3:00 to resolve these issues and to also
attempt to impress on them that the Association must actively
commence maintenance of this tract and address any future concerns
of the individual homeowners.
It has also been brought to my attention that a number of trees were
to be planted within the detention pond tract. This was a case of
miscommunication on our part as I was never made aware of a plan
sheet which provided this detail. This situation will be corrected
as soon as more pressing problems are resolved at the pond site. Any
attempt to install the trees immediately would very possibly result
in damage to them if a decision is made to alter the pond in any
way. This will be clarified at our meeting with the Homeowner's
Association.
STORM DRAINAGE SOUTH OF LOPEZ SCHOOL
You had voiced concern over construction and maintenance of the
regional drainage channel situated south of the new Lopez Eleme.ntary
School. As I had pointed out, if you check the approved construction
plans for this channel you will note that these improvements were
indeed designed to City standards. During construction the developer
was directed by City Drainage (Mr. Tom Gathman) to alter the
construction under direction of City Parks and Recreation. This City
department provided a revised design standard for the devloper to
follow and all construction was completed with final approval by
City Drainage, City Parks and Recreation and the Poudre R-1 School
District.
The developer did not request any alteration to the design and
construction of this channel. It is their position that they have
met their commitment regarding this construction and if there are
any questions they must be taken up with the other City departments
involved in the decision.
It would appear that some of the questions involved in our
discussion have occurred as the result of the involvement of new City
personnel. We sincerely hope that the information presented here
addresses all of your concerns and assists in clarifying actions which
have occurred on the project in the past and what is intended in the
near future. It is the intent of the developer to complete a quality
development and they offer their full and fair cooperation to the City
toward this goal. If you cannot locate any referenced documents
in the City files we would be glad to provide copies.
Pertaining to our discussion regarding potential reimbursement for
improvements involving the regional storm drainage channel the
developer is now checking the files for further information.
Obviously, they are very interested in obtaining any legitimate
reimbursement involved. We will contact you shortly with this
Page 4
information.
Issues remaining to be resolved as outlined above are being
addressed as quickly as possible. Considering that some of the issues
discussed appear to have been the result of misunderstanding on your
part and that the others are presently being addressed we do not
believe it is reasonable to withhold building permits on the latest
filing at this time —This decision is placing a severe hardship on
independent builders who have purchased lots and who are standing by
with a sales commitment to proceed. I'm sure that you can appreciate
that, given the present construction market, lot sales are by no means
easy to come by. Please give this your consideration and let me know
your decision as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Re: Four Seasons 5th Filing
Regional Drainage Channel Rebate
Dear Susan:
This letter is being written to request release of funds for the City's rebate portion of
the regional storm drainage channel recently constructed within the 5th Filing of Four
Seasons Subdivision.
As you are aware, there was a considerable amount of confusion regarding the intent of
the quantities and cost estimates indicated in "Exhibit B" of the Development Agreement
for this filing. As the result of our recent conversations and mutual research, we do
concur with you that the numbers indicated in "Exhibit B" do reflect only the City's
portion of the construction. Furthermore, it is now clear to all concerned that these
calculations were based upon construction of the complete channel (both the 5th and
future 6th filing).
The referenced "Exhibit B" indicates the following information regarding the rebate:
Excavation
4,781 C.Y @ $6.75
$
32,272
R.O.W.
0.65 Acres @ $20,000/Ac.
$
13,000
Design
Lump Sum
$
2,500
You have previously released full rebate for the right-of-way acquisition and engineering
design based upon the fact that both filings were reviewed and approved. At this time,
we are requesting rebate for that portion of the excavation completed within the 5th
Filing. Per our conversations, we would like to base this partial payment as follows:
Total lineal footage (both filings)
2,350 L.F.
Total estimated excavation quantity
4,781 C.Y
Total estimated construction cost
$ 32,272
Lineal footage completed in 5th Filing
586 L.F./25%
(Station 17 + 64 to Station 23 + 50)
25% of $ 32,272 = $ 8,068.00 (Requested Rebate Amount)
At such time as the 6th Filing is constructed, we will submit a request for the balance
of the excavation in the amount of $24,204.00.
If this scenario meets with your approval, please process this request for payment on
January 8 as we have previously discussed. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

From: Ted A. Dorstad
Re: Four Seasons Subdivision Fifth Filing
BACKGROUND
On February 1, 1985, I began working for M 8 I/Donohue in Fort
Collins. Projects underway at that time included the design of
various site improvements in the Four Seasons Subdivision. The
Village at Four Seasons was located east of Tradition Drive and
south of Horsetooth Road. Four Seasons Fifth Filing was to be
located adjacent to the Park South Subdivision to the east and
earlier Four Seasons filings to the north and west. The client
for the work at Four Seasons was Brown Farm Joint Venture
represented by Mr. Dan Wheeler.
The Four Seasons Fifth Filing was prepared in accordance with
City of Fort Collins and FHA requirements. On site detention
was required to minimize the impact of increased runoff on
downstream properties. The detention basin was located at the
natural :Low point of the area and was to discharge onto Tract
of the Park South Subdivision. A concrete trickle cha-,nel was
designed through the bottom of the detention basin to keep the
bottom of the basin dry for ease of maintenance and to minimize
any mosquito problems from the standing water. The concrete
trickle channel was required by the City of Fort Collins.
The preliminary plans and drainage report were submitted to the
City of Fort Collins in early May, 1985. Comments were received
from the City and a reply letter was sent to the City addressing
all their comments. The preliminary plans were approved by the
Planning and Zoning Board on June 26, 1985. At that meeting H.-
Mark Middel spoke against the detention basin releasing nuisance
water onto the downstream property.
During subsequent meetings Mr. Middel asked that a deep hole be
dug so that the low flow water from lawn;watering would soak into
the ground. He said that as the downstream developer that he was
willing to accept runoff from rains, but that he did not want to
accept the nuisance water. After subsequent reviews and
discussions with the City Storm Drainage staff, the concrete
trickle channel was changed to a rock channel so'that some. but
not necessarily all, of the low flow water would soak into the
ground rather than run off.
On Thursday, June 27, 1985, I attended a mectius with Mr. Loret;
Dilsaver and Mr. Mark Middel to discuss the Four Seasons project.
The client, Mr. Dan Wheeler, had requested that I attend the
meeting in his absence. I showed them the preliminary drawings
for Four Seasons Fifth Filing and explained the plans for the
detention basin and downstream release. I informed the client
representative, Mr. Dan Wheeler, of the meeting results and
suggested that he should contact Mr Dilsaver and Mr. Middel to
discuss the development.
On July 3, 1985 Mr. Ron Strahle called me at work and asked
about the grading operations for the Pillage at Four Season --
along Horsetooth Road. He stated that it looked like the
grading was going to end up with water being discharged east
along Horsetooth Road. I told him that the site had been staked
in accordance with the approved plans. He asked me to guarantee
that. no water would be discharged onto the Park South property
near Horsetooth Road and that the runoff was supposed to be
channeled all the way to the South side of Tract G. I told him
that I assumed that the developer would make sure that the work
would be done in accordance with the approved plans. Mr Strahle
referred to an October, 1984 agreement that required that the
only acceptable discharge point was near the south end of the
Park S'out.h property. I told him that I would review that
agreement. with the developer.
Subsequent to the July 3, telephone call from Mr. Strahle I
notified Dan Wheeler that he should contact Mr. Strahle or Mr.
Dilsaver to explain Brown Farm Joint Venture's plans.
The Final. plans and drainage report for the Four Seasons Fifth
Filing were approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on July 2.2,
1985.
The Company that I was working for at the time, M & I/Donohue,
was not retained for construction related services and other than
occasional questions from Dan Wheeler and contractors my direct
involvement ended in approximately Aurust. 1985.
ENGINEERING ISSUES DURING DESIGN OF FOUR SEASONS
The design of the project involved an evaluation and resolution
of the physical and regulatory constraints. For instance
streets must line up with adjacent developments and drainage
most discharge at an acceptable location and in an acceptable
manner_ City and FHA criteria must be followed for width of
streets, minimum and maximum slope for streets. acceptable water
inundation levels from runoff during various storms, depth for
utilities, etc.
An underground storm sewer system was required for Four Seasons
Fifth Filing because the allowable flooding inundation level
from the two year storm was reached on Wabash St. between
Tradition Dr. and Granite Court. The underground pipe that was
designed began as a 24" and increased to 27" w-ere it discharges
into the Tract A detention basin.
Because an underground pipe system Was required for drainage
then it would have been impossible to discharge across the
property line onto Tract G at the existing ground surface. The
invert of the pipe where it discharged into the 'tract A detention
basin was almost four feet lower than the existing ground at
property line. The detention basin outlet pipe could not be any
higher than approximately 4.5' below the existing ground and
still drain by gravity. 'therefore. the size of the Tract A
detention basin did not control the elevation of the discharge
onto Tract G.
STREETS
For the purposes of this evaluation I then calculated what the
impact on the underground storm sewer would be if all streets had
been designed at the City's allowable minimum slope of 0.40%
(FHA requires a minimum slope of 0.50%). However. it is not
good engineering practice to routinely design at minimum
conditions. This analysis assunes_that all other site grading,
earthwork and underground utility conflicts could have been
resolved. The restrictive street path is from the low point
in Benthaven St. to Wabash St. between Tradition Dr. and Granite
Ct. The existing design used street grades from 0.64% to 0.68%
along these streets.
Reducing the street grades to 0.40% would have allowed the low
point in Benthaven St. to.be raised approximately 2.0'. If it is
assumed that the storm sewer pipes could also be raised 2.0" then
the elevation of the Tract A detention basin outlet pipe could be
raised to 54.5 (All elevations are referenced to the Four
Seasons Fifth Filing Construction plans. Add 5000 to all
elevations to obtain City datum). This new elevation would still
be 2.5" below the existing ground elevation of 57.0 and would
require shaping a channel onto Tract G for discharge.
PARK SOUTH DEVELOPMENT
I Evaluated the effects of the current underground pipe outlet on
the Park South property downstream. This evaluation was for both
the approved Park South plans and j or an alternative layout that
was provided showing single family homes.
The Final Landscaping Plan for Park South PUD dated July 27,
1979 showed a drainage channel thru Tract G with a meandering
path and four pedestrian bridges crossing the channel. The
drainage channel is shown extending from the west property line
at Tract G to Manhattan Ave. With the approved plans for Park
South the channel constructed in Tract G by Brown Farm Joint
Venture Would have no significant impact. The only expected cosy
to t6 Park South developers Would be for modifying the alignment
and shape of the channel, if they so desired.
The attached drawing, Alternative 1, was used to evaluate one
possible way that the current conditions could be incorporated
into Park South. Based upon this evaluation it would be possible
to extend a pipe or open channel to point A and discharge onto
the proposed street. However, it is unlikely that the City
would approve the discharge because the allowable street capacity
would probably -be exceeded. However, if the City would allow the
discharge, a pipe length of approximately 190' would reach the
proposed street at Point. A. At a total project cost of $50 per
foot this pipe would cost approximately $9500.
Another alternative would be to extend the pipe downstream to
Hanhattan Ave. At a length of 870' and a project cost of $50
per foot this pipe would cost approximately $43500. With this
pipe installed the redevelopment of Park South could proceed
without any limitations from upstream drainage.
It is my opinion that the City will require a drainage easement
along the south side of Park South under any redevelopment plan.
The reason is that the existing homes adjacent to and south of
Tract G already drain onto Park South. An easement would be
necessary to make sure that adequate drainage exists for the
existing homes as well as any future homes in Park South.

ADDENDUM
THIS ADDENDUM is made and entered into this 8th day of
December, by and between the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, a
Municipal Corporation ("the City") and Brown Farm Joint Venture,
a Colorado Joint Venture ("the Developer").
WHEREAS, the City and the Developer previously entered into
a Development Agreement dated July 18, 1985, pertaining to the
development of Four Seasons 5th Filing ("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement refers to the Developer
as "Brown Farm" and the correct legal name of the Developer is
"Brown Farm Joint Venture"; and
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement includes a provision in
paragraph 2 C that all storm drainage facilities for the Property
were to be completed prior to the release of more than
thirty-five (35) building permits; and
WHEREAS, more than thirty-five (35) building permits have to
date been issued by the City, and the completion of said storm
drainage facilities has been delayed by pending litigation
pertaining to the same; and
WHEREAS, certain lots within the Property have been sold by
the Developer or are under contract for sale to third parties
upon whom the prohibition against further development will work
an undue hardship; and
WHEREAS, the parties are desirous of modifying the
above -mentioned provision of the Development Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
obligations herein contained and other good and valuable con-
sideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby confessed
and acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Developer shall, within fifteen (15) days after
written request therefor, reimburse the City for: (a)
any expenses actually incurred by the City in
acquiring, through condemnation or otherwise, such real
property as is necessary for the construction of storm
drainage improvements which will, in the judgment of
the City Engineer, provide adequate storm drainage
facilities for the Property and adjacent properties,
and (b) the actual cost of design and construction of
such storm drainage improvements.
2. In order to secure at least partial payment of the
aforementioned obligation by the Developer to the City,
the Developer shall, on or before December 15, 1987,
furnish to the City an irrevocable, unconditional
letter of credit in the amount of Forty -Two Thousand
Dollars ($42,000.00) ("the Letter of Credit"). If at
any time the Developer fails to make the payments owing
to the City as set forth herein within fifteen (15)
days after written request therefor, then the City, at
its sole discretion, may draw upon the Letter of Credit
in. the amount of such indebtedness owing to the City by
the Developer. The amount of the Letter of Credit
shall not in any way limit the Developer's obligation
to pay the full amount of all expenses actually
incurred by the City as described in paragraph 1 above.
In the event that the Letter of Credit is insufficient
in amount to fully reimburse the City for such actual
expenses, the City shall be entitled to those remedies
upon default which are described in paragraph 3 E of
the Development Agreement and such other remedies, if
any, as may be available at law or in equity.
3. Upon the City's receipt of the Letter of Credit, the
City shall release building permits only for those two
lots within the Property which have heretofore been
sold by the Developer or are under contract for sale to
third parties.
4. The Developer shall forebear from selling, contracting

("Assignee"), whose address is 255 North Mill Street, Aspen,
Colorado.
RECITALS
A. Assignor is a party to that certain Development Agree-
ment with The City of Fort Collins, Colorado, dated July 18,

of Assignor, which sums are evidenced by their promissory notes
(the "Notes") to Assignee for said amounts.
ASSIGNMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Assignee to make the Loan, as a
partial source of repayment of the Loan, and as additional secu-
rity for the payment and performance of all obligations of Joint
Venturers to Assignee evidenced by the Notes, whether now exist-
ing or subsequently incurred, Assignor hereby undertakes and
agrees as follows
1. Assignment of Credits and Repayment Rights. Assignor
hereby assigns, sells, and conveys to Assignee all of Assignor's
right, title, and interest in and to all credits, repayment
rights, revenues, contract rights, and benefits of every nature
arising out of the Development Agreement, including, but not

for storm drainage improvements and oversizing Wabash Drive to
collector standards (collectively "Credits and Repayment
Rights"). Assignee shall have the right to notify The City of
Fort Collins of this Assignment.
2. Ownership and Preservation of the Credits and Repayment
Rights. Assignor represents, warrants and covenants that it now
is the absolute owner of the Credits and Repayment Rights, with
full right and title to assign the same; that the Development
Agreement is valid, in full force and effect, and has not been
modified or amended except as stated herein; that there is no
outstanding assignment or pledge thereof or of the Credits and
Repayment Rights (for security or otherwise), due or to become
due thereunder; that there are no existing defaults under the
terms thereof on the part of any party thereto; that The City of
Fort Collins has no present defenses, set -offs, or counterclaims
against Assignor; and that no Credits and Repayment Rights, pay-
able thereunder have been or will be hereinafter discounted,
released, waived, compromised, or otherwise discharged without
Assignee's prior written consent. Assignor will not cancel, ter-
minate, or permit the surrender of the Credits and Repayment
Rights, or amend or modify the Development Agreement, or make any

of Assignee. Any attempted cancellation, termination surrender,
amendment, modification, or assignment of the Development Agree-
ment without the prior written consent of Assignee shall, at
Assignee's option, be null and void.
3. Assignee's Rights. Assignee is empowered, but shall
have no obligation, to collect the Credits and Repayment Rights
accruing under the Development Agreement, to enforce payment
thereof and the performance of any and all terms and provisions
thereof, to exercise all the rights and privileges of Assignor

this assignment, Assignee waives the right to exercise the rights
and powers granted to Assignee in Paragraph 3 above and covenants
and agrees not to revoke such waiver until and unless there has
been a default: by Joint Venturers in the payment or performance
of any obligation contained in, secured by, or referred to in the
Notes. If any such default occurs and is not cured within any
applicable grace period, Assignee may at any time revoke such
waiver without: notice, and upon such revocation may proceed to
exercise any or all of the rights and powers conferred upon
Assignee in said Paragraph 3.

have a uniform width of four feet. Main thoroughfares shall have
sidewalks on one side of the street. Sidewalks serving homes
which face on a cul-de-sac will not be adjacent to the cul-de-
sac, but will be at the rear of the homes.
Park South will dedicate an additional twenty feet for Horse -
tooth Road, to be added to the existing thirty foot right-of-way,
the total to constitute one-half of a one hundred foot right-of-
way. Park South will be required to widen the south half of Horse -
tooth Road so that the total width of the pavement on such south
half will be thirty feet. Park South shall pay for curbs and gut-
ters for this portion of the street, and the City of Fort Collins
shall pay for any costs occasioned by designation of Horsetooth
Road as an arterial street, including, but not by way of limitation,
the cost of ten feet of the paving involved. A seven foot wide
concrete sidewalk shall be built on the south side of Horsetooth
Road, and Park South Company shall pay for four feet of this side-
walk.
Park South shall also pay for the widening of the south half
Of the bridge across the canal of the New Mercer Ditch Company sub-
ject to the provision that the city will pay for so much of the
work as is occasioned by the fact that the street is an arterial,
including, :but not by way of limitation, payment for ten feet of
such widening.
Park South Company shall not be required to do the widening
Of Horsetooth Road or the bridge referred to above until such time
as certificates of occupancy have been issued for one hundred and
sixty living_ units in the subdivision or until three years from
the date of annexation, whichever first occurs.
2. UTILITIES: As of the date this letter is written, the
question of whether utilities shall be furnished to the subdiv-
ision by the City of Fort Collins or by service districts is un-
resolved. The city will use its best efforts to resolve this
question, if possible by the time the annexation is complete.
Installation of the water distribution system in the sub-
division, including service to fire hydrants, shall be in accor-
dance with requirements of the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District.
The city has approved the number and location of fire hydrants as
revoked the waiver contained in Paragraph 4 hereof, pay the
Credits and Repayment Rights under the Development Agreement to
Assignee, without liability on the part of The City of Fort
Collins for determining the validity or propriety of Assignee's
revocation of such waiver, and notwithstanding any claim by
Assignor that Assignee's revocation of such waiver is invalid or
improper. Assignor will have no claim against The City of Fort
Collins for any Credits or Repayment Rights or other sums paid by
The City of Fort Collins to Assignee.
6. Indemnification. Assignor agrees to indemnify and hold
Assignee harmless of and from any and all claims, liabilities,
losses, expenses, or damages, including attorneys' fees, which
Assignee may incur under the Development Agreement, or by reason
of this assignment, as well as any and all claims and demands
whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of
any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or dis-
charged by Assignee under the Development Agreement or under or
by reason of this assignment.

agreements, and obligations under the Development Agreement, and
will neither do nor fail to do anything which may result in any
release of the Credits and Repayment Rights under the terms of
the Development Agreement. Assignor will give prompt notice to
Assignee of any notice of default received from The City of Fort
Collins and will furnish Assignee with a copy of any such notice.
If requested by Assignee, Assignor will enforce the Development
Agreement and all remedies available to Assignor against The City
of Fort Collins thereunder in the event of any default.
8. Assignor's Negative Covenants. Assignor will not make
any other or further assignment of the Credits and Repayment
Rights under the terms of the Development Agreement or of any
interest therein. Assignor will not modify or amend the terms of
the Development Agreement or cancel or terminate the same, with-
out the prior written consent of Assignee.
9. Cross -Default Clause. Any default by Assignor in the
performance or observance of any covenant or condition hereof
shall be deemed a default or event of default under each of the
Notes, entitling Assignee to exercise all or any remedies avail-
able to Assignee under the terms of the Notes, and any default or
event of default under the Notes shall be deemed a default
hereunder, entitling Assignee to exercise any or all remedies
provided for herein. Failure by Assignee to exercise any right
which it may have hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof
unless so agreed in writing by Assignee, and the waiver by
Assignee of airy default by Assignor hereunder shall not consti-
tute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other default or of
the same default on any future occasion.
10. Reassignment by Assignee. Assignee may assign all of
Assignor's right, title, and interest in any or all Credits and
Repayment Rights (to the extent of the interests therein con-
ferred upon Assignee by the terms hereof) to any subsequent

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 9, 1989
TO: Paul Eckman, Deputy City Attorney
FROM: Susan Duba Hayes, Civil Engineer II
RE: Assignment Agreement between Brown Farm Joint Venture and Aspen
Savings and Loan Association
This is in response to your memo of September 14, 1989 requesting
information on payments made by the City per the Development Agreement for
Four Seasons, 5th Filing P.U.D.
The original Development Agreement, dated July 18, 1985, included an Exhibit
B that outlines the estimated costs for storm drainage improvements
eligible for reimbursement in accordance with the City Code. The facility
is a regional drainage channel located in the southern portion of the
development. Only a portion of the channel has been constructed,
specifically, from Moss Creek Drive to Troutman Park. This represents
approximately 25% of the total channel.
In September 1987, Brown Farm Joint Venture requested reimbursement for the
completed improvements. After extensive research the following
reimbursements were made: (See attached Payment Authorizations)
Easement Acquisition $13,000.00
Professional Design $ 2,500.00
Construction $ 8,068.00
The easement and design costs represent the total owed. The construction
reimbursement represents only 25% of the total since only a portion of the
channel was constructed.
The remainder of the channel that needs to be built is located in what is
now called Four Seasons 6th Filing. As of this date, the Developer is
planning on resubmitting this filing for City approval. Design changes are
being made to the channel and the Exhibit B may be revised to reflect
current construction costs. Actual construction is anticipated in the
summer of 1990, with reimbursement following completion.
Reimbursement can only be made upon submittal of sufficient documentation
showing the actual costs of the construction and who paid the contractor.

After reviewing the Assignment Agreements, (dated September 10, 1989), I am
concerned about the validity of the Development Agreement Addendum dated
December 8, 1987. Section 2 of the Assignment states that the Development
Agreement will not be amended or modified without prior written consent of
Aspen Savings and Loan Association. I have no idea if this permission was
obtained. The purpose of the addendum is to clarify the Developer's
responsibilities with respect to the resolution of a drainage problem in
Four Seasons 5th Filing and the adjacent Park South drainage easement (not
related to the regional drainage channel). In this case the City has
received reimbursement from Brown Farm and the agreement has been amended in
regard to the Park South litigation. Steve Roy is familiar with the issue.
I would like to know if the Assignment Agreement in any way affects the
terms of the addendum.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please call me at
X6589.

RE: Four Season's 5th Filing Detention Pond
Dear Ms. Curtis:
HAND DELIVERED
With reference to your March 22, 1990 letter to Bob Smith
requesting information on the referenced detention pond, I have
enclosed pertinent information I was able to find.
Our files did not clearly indicate what triggered the change from
a concrete trickle pan to a french drain. I spoke with Rick
Mattingly who was the developer's construction coordinator. He
said that his recollection of the reason for the change was the
concern raised by the offsite property owner, Marc Middel. Mr.
Middel expressed concern at the Planning and Zoning Board hearing
about the nuisance water that would run in the grass Swale that
traverses his Park South property. (See attached June 26, 1985,
Board Minutes.) Apparently the use of the french drain was
proposed to allow the flows to infiltrate prior to reaching the
pond outlet.
Our files did not have any documentation of an official request for
a change from the proposed concrete trickle channel to the french
drain system. At the time of approval and construction (1985 and
1986) administrative changes through the Planning Department were
not required for changes to utility plans. Changes to utility
plans were usually accomplished by working directly with the
affected department. Due to the lack of written documentation in
the files it appears that the approval for the change to a french
drain was given verbally, and the actual change to the utility
plans was accomplished by providing as -built plans indicating that
a french drain was constructed rather than a concrete trickle pan,
(see attached plans).
Installation of the french drain was done during the summer of
1986. In October 1986 a letter was submitted to the Stormwater
Utility (see attached letter dated October 10, 1986) documenting
the use of the french drain versus the concrete trickle channel.
In January 15,87 the Utility received a letter regarding the status
of the project from Rick Mattingly (see attached letters dated
January 21, 1987 and January 28, 1987.) At that time the french
drain had been installed but had not yet been covered. The as -
built drawings and certification referred to in the letter had
previously been received by our office, and are attached.
This is the extent of the written documentation I was able to find.
If you have any questions regarding this information please call
me at 221-6589.
I apologize for the delay in getting this information to you.
Sincerely,
Susan L. Duba Hayes

RE: New Elementary School
Dear Wendy,
I have reviewed your proposal for the new Poudre R-1 elementary school
and with the conditions and modifications I have outlined below, am
prepared to endorse the proposal as meeting the intent of the fire
containment section of the City"s Building Code. In reviewing your
proposal I have discussed the situation with our staff and consulted
several design standards for the installation of smoke control systems.
Although we believe the fire containment areas are adequate, we also
believe fire sprinklers provide the best protection and may in fact be
the most cost—effective. I have reviewed our recent sprinkler building
permits and have found that installation costs average $.80 per square
foot with $1.00 being the maximum we have seen in several years. The
installation of sprinklers would also allow us to consider other
trade—offs including the 2—hour area separation walls which would
further impact cost—effectiveness.
Outlined below are the conditions and modification to your proposal for
the fire containment area option.
1. The number of smoke detectors you propose are adequate and
should be installed in accordance with the information I have
included, and manufacturers information. The smoke detectors
previously shown to control the automatic closing doors in the
2—hour area separation walls may be omitted.
2. All smoke detectors and automatic door closers must be
connected to the buildings fire alarm system and must function
as an integrated system.
3. The 2—hour area separation walls complete with the automatic
closing fire doors must be retained as shown on the original
plan. These walls are a separate requirement due to building
area, construction type, and fire flow.
4. The gym/kitchen may be included in one fire containment area
as shown on your proposal provided the construction of this
area conforms to the Type II 1—Hour rating.
PROTECTING LIVES & PROPERTY
Ms. Wendy Irving
June 17, 1985
Page 2.
5. Automatic door closers connected to the fire alarm system
which penetrate fire containment area walls may be omitted on
restrooms, janitor closets, small storage rooms, and small
conference rooms provided those doors are equipped with
self —closers and kept closed at all times. Specifically the
doors are numbered on your proposal as 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12,
13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22. All other doors must
have automatic closers connected to the fire alarm system
including the main gym door, office, teachers lounge,
kindergarten(2), and special education rooms.
6. All other penetrations of fire containment area walls must
conform to the Building Code, including smoke —actuated duct
dampers and approved rated glass in windows. Fire containment
area walls must also extend through ceilings to the underside
of the roof deck unless the ceiling assembly is listed for
1—hour rating.
7. The fire containment wall at the intersection of the IML room,
office, and gym should be reviewed. I suggest the fire
containment wall be altered to encompass the office area along
the main entrance corridor. This would appear to save one
automatic door closer.
8. The location of smoke detectors, automatic door closers, and
automatic duct dampers must be included on the alarm plans for
review by our alarm inspection.
At this point in time, I can only pass this proposal along to the City
Building Official for final approval. If you have further questions,
please contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Warren D. Jones
