Legal Description: Lot 1, Harvard Subdivision, Second Piling, in the City of Fort Collins, according to the recorded Plat thereof, County of Larimer, State of Colorado. Present Owner: Leona 11. 6,ind Proposed Owner: Leona M. Sand Present Zoning: H-B Highway Business Proposed Zoning: H-B highway Business Planning ObjecLives . The Harvard Subdivision PUD, in its present form, con- templates construction upon the property (Lot 1) of one single story commercial building with a gross floor area of 6360 square feet. A portion of the building, if constructed at the location indicated by the Final Unit Development Plan for the PUD, will encroach upon Lye right of way for an irrigation ditch which traverses the property, a fact which apparently was overlooked at the time the PUD was approved. The irrigation ditch is a lateral or feeder off of the New Mercer Ditch. Because it will be impossible to construct the building at its contemplated location upon the property, the Applicant redo csts approval of an amendment to the Development Plan to per- mit the building to he constructed at a site which will not interfere with the irrigation ditch right of way. It is contemplated that the building, when completed, will be occupied by two separate businesses. one tenant will be Major Motor Supply, Inc., a corporation owned and controlled by the Applicant, Leona M. Sand. The remaining portion of the building will be leased to a comport-ible retail -wholesale business (for example, a lighting fixture store) which attracts a rela- tively low volume of customer traffic, as aloes Major Motor Supply, Inc. Both businesses will require considerable space for display and storage areas because of the nature and size of the merchandise which both will handle. Unfortunately, the proposed size of the building is not adequate to accomodate these businesses. For this reason, permission is renuested to increase the gross floor ..area of the building to provide for 6,200 square feet of retail space and 2,800 square feet of storage area.

Box 471 Ft. Collins, CO 80522 RE: Mason Street South Development Dear Milo: Per your request we have completed preliminary drainage calcula- tions for approximately 5.83 acreslocated at the southeast corner of Mason Street and Harvard Street. The site has approximately 320 feet of frontage along Harvard Street: and 870 feet of frontage along Mason Street. There are no major drainage ways within the project limits and, in fact, off -site drainage contributing to the site is negligible. An irrigation lateral known as the Vance Lateral runs from west to east along the northerly boundary of the site. This lateral is no longer used for irrigation purposes and serves as a storm drainage system for the City of Fort Collins. The system termi- nates at Lake Sherwood. The proposed development slopes generally from southwest to north- east at approximately 1%. Natural drainage is accepted in its undeveloped state by the Vance drainage system. The drainage policy and procedures established by the City of Fort Collins were used for analyzing the storm runoff. The amount of storm runoff for the development was determined by the Rational Method. This procedure equates the design peak flow to the area, amount of rainfall on that area, and a multiplier that is deter- mined by the physical characteristics of the area under study. A runoff coefficient of 0.25 for existing conditions, as recommended by the storm drainage specifications for the City of Fort Collins, was used to determine the existing storm runoff on the site. The design of all drainage presented in this report is based on the rainfall intensity duration curves developed by the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department. Mr. Milo Bunker November 3, 1980 Page 2 It is recommended that the development detain on -site a 100-year runoff and discharge it at a 2-year historical rate. This will meet the current policy requirements of the City of. Fort Collins and relieve the developer of liability from downstream properties. The 2-year historical runoff rate from the site is 1.57 cfs. Using this runoff rate and a study of the cumulative runoff in a 100-year storm after development yields a detention pond with a minimum capacity of 46,700 cubic feet. It is recommended that the site grading be designed to accommodate the necessary stormwater storage and the discharge of 1.57 cfs be directed to the Vance drainage ditch. One suggestion for discharge is the installation of an 8" diameter pipe at 1.70% grade. It is also recommended that the drainage calculations be updated when a final development plan is available. Calculations for the information contained herein are available on request. If we can be of further assistance in this matter please contact me. Very truly yours, M & 1, IN�C,. Lloyd G. McLaughlin LGM/lk Page 2 Statement of Planning Objectives Submitted by Developer of: PRELIMINARY PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE HARVARD SUBDIVISION PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT The increase in size will permit the Applicant to ful- fill her objectives for development of the property to its best utilization without detracting from the overall objectives of the PUD as originally conceived and approved. Fven with the increase in building size, ample area will remain for anticipated parking needs and for landscaped open space. Development Schedule. Construction of all improvements upon the property will commence as soon as final approval of the proposed Amendment is granted and can be expected to be completed within 120 days thereafter.

State Farm has operated a"Drive In Claims" office at the 116 West Harvard address for the past three years, but with- out the desired safer drive through arrangement. This quick claims service is for the convenience of their customers and eliminates the standard requirement of three estimates. The drive through facility would be a help to the customer and the adjustor/estimator when processing claim forms during times of inclement weather. After the valid repair cost estimate is completed the claimant then takes the authorization to the auto body repair shop of his choice for the repairs. Generally, the claims office will write the repair estimate on about 5 or 6 cars per day, 2 to 3 on Fridays and Saturdays. On a "large volume" day State Farm will estimate 10 to 11 cars. No significant increasein volume may be expected in a facility of this size.

Colorado 80521 Telephone 303- 4847576 May 15, 1977 City of Fort Collins, Colorado Planning and Zoning, Board Port Collins, Colorado Ladies and Gentlemen: This request is for an ammendment in the Harvard Subdivision P.U.D. zoned HB located at the southwest corner of Harvard Drive and the South College Avenue frontage road. The requested proposal is to add to the building plans of building "B" a drive -through inspection facility to be used for, the damage estimation of vehicles insured by the State Farm Insurance Company, the future occupants of the building. Buildings "C" and "D" are in place. The drive -through is to be a part of buildings "B" and "A". (Building "A" to be built at a future time.) The proposed facility will have electrically operated doors to allow front entry and rear exit of vehicles. The proposal would require a minor relocation of the west Harvard Street entry to center on the drive -through facility, thus creating a safer traffic flow. It has been found that the two -stall loading zone of the existing building "C" is more than ample during business hours and this proposal also seeks to change the two -stall requirement to one stall each for buildings "A", "B" and " C" Sincerely, J In Batson, Partner �arvard Development JB:kas cc: file IJ J James H. Stewart and Associates, Inc. Consulting Engineers January 30, 1978 Mr. Roger Krempel Public Works Director Fort Collins City Hall P. 0. Box 580 Port Collins, CO 80522 Dear Mr. Krempel: In early December, 1977, I received a print of a riser detail from Mr. John Effinger of the City of Fort Collins Water and Sewer Department, to be used on the Overland -Prospect Relief Collector Sanitary Sewer. The riser detail was added to the drawings on this project; it is labeled RISER DETAIL - ALT. #1. Several engineers in our office reviewed the detail and felt that the forces that will be acting on both the sewer main and house sewer will cause Vitrified Clay Pipe to shear and a PVC pipe to deflect. Modifications were added to the detail. to help relieve stress at the more critical points. However, we still_ feel a thorough analysis of the detail is required to determine any further modifications needed to resist the combination of stresses that could be imposed on it both during and after construction to prevent possible failure. We would like to recommend that the Water and Sewer. Department remove this detail from the Overland -Prospect Relief Collector Sanitary Sewer project. A mcetinf„ at your convenience, to discuss this topic in more depth would be welcomed. Sincerely, JAMES H. STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Donald.

McClelland, P.E. James Ii. Stewart and Associates 214 North. Bowes Port Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Mr. McClelland; In response to your letter of the 30th on the sewer riser detail for the Prospect -Overland Sewer, I have no quarrel with the action you have taken. Perhaps in that recognizing the construction practices here are frequently less than par, your detail is even better. I mentioned to Jim earlier that my experience involves the use of perhaps a. thousand or more risers somewhat similar to the detail John Effinger recormended. To this date, and I recently checked, there has been no known shear failure as you suggested might happen. The following practices probably are influencing factors. Inspection of construction was rigid and continuous. Backfilling arm d the riser was extremely critical and depending on the height of the riser, bracing often was necessary. All trenches were jet flushed by City flushers to assure optimum trench restora- tion. All risers and laterals were of extra heavy cast iron soil pipe. This was common in most mid -western conservative cities. The riser detail as attached was almost universal because of the respect of zoned allocation of utility space in the right-of-way. Sanitary sewers were reserved the center 4 + with no vertical limitations. Sanitary sewer laterals were allotted the space from 7' to 10' below the surface. Similarly other space is allocated for other utilities. The slanting riser as proposed violates the space normally reserved for storm sewer construction and we would not have allowed a slanting riser. Shearing off of the tie or wye branch for the laterals near the attachment to the main is a real_ problem and as you point out must be considered. This is particularly true when plumbers are allowed to install the service laterals. This shearing was stopped by the second detail I have attached. 'Phis then, along with the E.II. C.I. soil piix� almost totally eliminated service and connection problems. Here we find some of our greatest infiltration problems to occur `X Mr. Donald J. McClelland, P.E.
