Hower Ft. Collins, CO 80521 Dear Jack: Telephone 303 484-4220 Re: Meadows East - Timberline Road Design In response to the request of your client, Mr. Earl Stafford, of yesterday, we wish to reiterate the following facts: 1. This office requested that you provide us with sufficient data to allow us, jointly, to examine the finished grades you proposed as they relate to existing curb and gutter to the south and as they might relate to Planned Development of Timberline Road to the north and Drake Road to the east. 2. After repeated requests for this information, on Friday, May 12, 1978, you returned the prints showing how you proposed to discharge the surface drainage from the west side of Timberline at the south end of your development (which we requested) but we did not receive any of the additional data which we requested. You stated that you did not feel it was your responsibility to show anything beyond the limits of your client's boundary. Jack, we have no intentions of requiring you or your client undue expense in developing the utility plans for Meadows East. However, we do feel it is the responsibility of a professional engineer to investigate all reason- able aspects which his design has on surrounding areas. In recent years, this has been particularly iE-portant relative to drainage and this was our reason for the requested information. Since the information was not provided, we scheduled our survey crew to acquire this data for us. our survey crew provided the information to this office at 4:15 P.M. yesterday, May 16, 1978. We have plotted this in profile and have found that your design for Timberline Road to be acceptable. TP,E CENTER OF THE 1'JORLD art;, s, CO EMRJTJ March 7, 1989 Mike Herzig Assistant City Engineer/Planning P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Mike: R Some months ago I spoke to you about the trees we began to plant last fall in conjunction with the completion of our Meadows East subdivision at Timberline and Drake Roads. Light and Power personnel objected to the fact that the required trees were directly over one of their duct banks. At the same time, because the right of way on this roadway was widened after the original plans were approved to accomodate an eventual six lane street, there is now nowhere else to put the required trees. At this point I can see only two choices. We can either leave the trees over the duct bank, or we can take them out and delete their requirement from the plans. We are about at the time of year when our landscapers will be able to begin final work on this area. We need your help quickly so that we will know how to proceed with these final landscape constructions. Sincerely, Robert T. Zely Vice President, Land Development cc: Gary Olsen, Waterboy Sprinklers May 17, 1978 Page Two We regret that you and your client feel that we have been extreme in our demand for additional information resulting in delayed approval of your utility plans for Timberline Road. However, in our role as professional reviewers for the public, we would be remiss in our duty to that public if we did not review the "whole picture". As a result of this added information made available by our survey crew, we can now approve the utility plan for Timberline. We would like to remind both you and your client that the interior utility plans were approved and released to you last week in an effort to reduce the delay of this project. In addition, your client had the option of constructing Timberline Road at a later date pending completion of the design, but elected not to do so. If you have further questions and/or comments, please feel free to call on us. Yours very truly, Re A; i Maurice E. Rupel, P.E. & L.S.

It was apparently overlooked by City Staff at the time the subdivision agreement was written. According to the plat of Meadows East, the frontage on Drake is 1056.50 feet and the frontage on Timberline is 2648.49 feet for a total of 3704.99 feet. The repay rate is $2.7664 per lineal foot for a total of $10,249.48. Please contact us as soon as possible concerning payment of this amount so that the City may fulfill its obligation to the builders of the water main in question. TaTm trus C.

These areas are: Custer Drive: west of Sagebrush to Adobe Drive Abilene: from east cul-de-sac west to Adobe Drive This street will be visually checked and all areas showing signs of inadequate subgrade or other forms of deterioration will be repaired as necessary. Please be informed that these streets will not be accepted by the City until such time as their repaired condition conforms to City specifications.

As you are aware, the detention system is not coiplete until such time as the drainage swale on the south side of Drake Road has been constructed. It is possible after the storm drainage study for this area has been completed the City may reTAre this swale If you have any questions, please call.

Box 590,�Fort Collins, Colorado 80522_ Mr. F3obert Zakely Everitt Enterprises P.O. Box 2125 F't. Collins, Colorado Re: Meadows Fast Ph(303) 484 4220 Ext. 72) This letter will confirm your telephone conversation yesterday with Marc Engemoen regarding the maintenance of the Meadows Fast detention facility. I informed you by letter dated September 30, 1980 that the Meadows East pond had been constructed according to appro-red utility drawings and was therefore accepted for maintenance by the. City. However, you are aware that the Parkwood East detention pond outlet was never constructed per approved plans and has not been accepted by the City. In particular, the present pumping of groundwater into the storm sewer is not an acceptable permanent situation. I know you are aware that the groundwater being pumped frcim Parkwood East is flowing into the Meadows East pond. You m rationed yesterday that this groundwater cannot flow freely out of the pond because of some settlement around the outfall, and is pending. This of course prohibits our maintenance of the facility. In light of this situation, I must advise you that the City cannot maintain this facility until this problem has been resolved. Inasmuch as your activities in Parkwood East are the direct cause of this problem, it is apparent that both the responsibility for resolving the problem and the interim maintenance rest with Everitt Enterprises. The City certainly desires to provide any assistance they can in arriving at an acceptable solution to this situation, but as the developer, the initiative must rest with you and your consulting engineer. I hope we can make some progress before we run into problems with the issuance of additional building permits or certificates of occupancy in Meadows East as well as P.arkwvod East. ' If there is anything Marc or I can do to help you with this matter, please call. Sincerely, Dave Stringer Chief Construction Inspector DS:ME:cm everitt enterprises 3000 South College Avenue/P.O.

College Fort Collins, Co. Re: Landscaping at Meadows East Subdivision Dear Mr. Zakely: In recent weeks it has come to our attention that the landscaping adjacent to Timberline and Drake Roads has not been installed. Please be advised that in researching the Development Agreement and Utility Plans, we found the landscaping of these areas is required. We also understand that this work could not be completed until such time as the improvements to Drake and Timberline had been completed. However, the street work is complete and it is now time to install the landscaping as detailed on page 15 of 16 of the Meadows East Subdivision Utility Plans dated May 5, 1978. The intent of this letter is to serve notice that the City now wishes the completion of the landscaping along Timberline and Drake Roads. It is my interpretation of the Development Agreement for the Meadows Fast Development, dated May 11, 1978, that Everitt Enterprises is responsible for the installation of landscaping as well as its maintenance for a two year period. I'm sure that the lack of landscaping for this development was just an oversight and we appreciate your cooperation in correcting this situation. incerel yours, David Stringer Chief Construction Ins or cc: Gary Diede Mike Herzig Mick Mercer 300 LaPorte Ave. • PO.
