Box 2272 re Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Bruce: 1430 Glen Haven Drive Sidewalk Repair It has come to my attention that a 30-day, Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued for the above residence on October 19, 1981 conditional upon the adjacent public sidewalk and surrounding pavement being repaired. As of this date, our office has not received clearance from the Engineering Division in- dicating that the necessary repair has been done. I understand furl 'her that your office has been apprised of this matter by a phone call from our office on two separate occasions with no corrective action taken. City subdivision regulations specifically require that all such public im- provements be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Because the Temporary Certificate has expired, the occupants of the above residence are no longer authorized to remain there. Therefore, if the required sidewalk repairs are not completed within five days of this notice, proceedings to vacate the above residence will be initiated as agreed to by your firm when the Temporary Certificate was issued.

Miller Construction, Inc. 3833 Spruce Drive Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 Ph Dear Mr. Miller: I am sure you are aware that the detention pond, for Kensington South, First Filing has still not been constructed in accordance with the approved utility drawings. The headwall at the outlet structure and the trickle channels have not been installed, and the overall grading is not in accordance with the utility plan. I brought this matter to your attention in a letter dated August 29, 1980, a copy of which is attached. You advised me in a letter dated September 9, 1980, also attached, that the necessary work would be completed by the summer of 1981. As we are now approaching the 1982 construction season, I wonder if you are planning to bring this matter to a conclusion. 484-4220 Ext. 728 I realize that the present slump in the building industry has affected your construction schedule, and that is difficult to estimate when construction will pick up again. But I am sure you can appreciate the concern of the homeowners in Kensington South who have endured the nui- sance the pond creates:in its present condition for the past three years. Please advise me at your earliest convenience when we can anticipate the completion of this pond. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

Box 1417 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Re: Kensington South Subdivisions Dear Rex: Some weeks ago you met with Marc Engemoen and myself to discuss the detention system in the Kensington South lst Filing as it relates to building permits. In our meeting you indicated the remaining improvements to the detention system would be completed as soon as possible. In turn, the City agreed not to withhold building permits in the Kensington South Subdivisions because of the drainage system. To date the City has released building permits for homes on Hastings, Canterbury and Knottingham streets. However, work towards completing the drainage system has not yet started. The City has operated in good faith towards its portion of the agreement and now requests the drainage system be completed. In addition, after the pond's completion a letter from your engineer to the Storm Drainage Utility, certifying the drainage system has been constructed to the lines and grades shown on the Kensington South 1st Filing Utility Plans as approved by the City Engineer must be submitted. If the drainage system is not completed by July 31, 1983, the City Engineer's office will withhold all building permits in the Kensington South Subdivisions. All permits requested from now to the July 31st date will be handled on an individual basis. I regret the :inconvenience this may cause you, but the Kensington developments have expam.ed to the point where completion of the pond is necessary. 0 A ��` y vG I David Stringer'� Chief Construction Inspector cc: Mick Mercer Tom Bays James H.

The concrete pan was straightened and has been completed. Some finish grading was required to ensure the bottom of the pond drains to the pan. The volume of the pond was not significantly decreased; however, its actual volume was much greater than the volume re- quired at the time the pond was designed. The pond appears to be built as designed and will function as it is supposed to. If you have any questions regarding the pond, please call. Sincerely, JAMES H. STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Richard A.

Secretary/Treasurer ME cc: Rex Miller CITY OF FORT COLLINS STORM WATER LIT ILI TY April 2, 1984 Mr. Rex Miller 3833 Spruce Lane Fort Collins, Colorado Re: Detention Pond in Tract A, Kensington South, lst Dear Mr. Miller, I have received a letter from Dick Rutherford of James H. Stewart & Associates, Inc. dated March 28, 1984. This letter was addressed to Dave Stringer, Chief Construction Inspector, and indicates that certain work has been completed on the detention pond in Tract A. From what I understand this work was necessary prior to final acceptance of the pond by the City. Please be informed that before the City can accept the pond for perpetual maintenance an "as built" survey showing detailed cross sections of the pond will be necessary. These cross sections are needed to verify pond volume and check bottom elevations to see if there is adequate slope to insure the bottom of the pond drains to the pan. After these cross sections are received, reviewed and approved, a final site inspection will be completed prior to final acceptance. If, after the site inspection we are satisfied with the construction of the pond, you will be notified in writing of the City's acceptance for perpetual maintenance. Please call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, v(�kC' 6. LJazrQ- Philip G. Waite, Civil Engineer II Storm Drainage Division`/ cc: Dave Stringer " Chief Construction Inspector REX S.

DEVELOPMENT COMPANY By: Presidentk cd CITY OF FURT COLLINS STORM WAFFR UTILITY April 5, 1984 Mr. Rex Miller 3833 Spruce Lane Fort Collins, CO 80526 Re: Kensington South 1st Filing Dear Mr. Miller, As you requested I am sending you this letter to verify the Tract A, Kensington South 1st Filing has been in the past and will be in the future used for a detention facility for this development. During our discussion at the site this afternoon I indicated that once the Storm Drainage Division receives, reviews and approves the "as built" cross section information a final site inspection will be completed. If after the site inspection, the Storm Drainage Division is satisfied with the work, a letter of acceptance will be sent to you and the City will assume responsibility for perpetual maintenance. As we agreed upon, the area to be included in the cross sections is that portion of the pond east and approximately 10 feet west of the new concrete trickle pan installed from the south inlet to the pond. Also that portion of the north end of the pond from the top of sidewalk on Drake to the toe of the slope along all of the area that was filled. As I indicated, the Storm Drainage Division requires that all new detention ponds to be maintained by the City must have at least a 20 bottom slope. However, based on your indication that there is not enough fill material to satisfy this requirement, a 1.5% bottom slope for that portion of the pond that is being regraded to drain to the pan will be acceptable. Please call if you require additional information or have any further questions. Sincerely, 4P, -4 6. 6,,Jbz�l Philip G. Waite Civil Engineer II,.

It has since been noted that the landscaping has not been completed per plan as shown on Section A -A, Sheet 15 of 15 of Kensington South Utility Plans. It has been observed that the drainage Swale between the vertical curb and gutter and the 7.0' walk has not been graded to meet the top of walk or the back of curb, thus allowing undermining of the north edge of the walk in numerous areas. This landscaping should be completed as soon as possible to prevent any further erosion in these areas and to minimize the structural damage taking place on the north edge of the walk. The 7.0' walk and bikeway will not be accepted by the City until the landscaping is completed. very truly yours, Rodney 1R.
