Tne water jJi system of Fort Collins is planned to eventually serve this area, and if water is desired at this time, the City would look favorably to participating in tau oversize cost of any main constructed at this time, and upon completion of construction would enter into a repay [LUJI agreement to reimburse to you the cost of the rain construction if Vr used by abuttins properties along; tae route in a ten-year period. If your plans for this development progress, we would be 4appy to work with you in planning any possible water main extension to serve your area. Very truly yours, Charles Liquin Director of Public Works cc: Tom Coffey, City Manager C October 26, 1970 Mr. Sidney Brooks 11301 West Colfax Avenue Denver, Colorado, 80215 RE: Harmony Road Mobile Home Project Dear Mr. Brooks. Questions have been raised as to City cooperation and participation with developers in areas presently outside the City limits, and I would like to clarify, some of the positions of the City. The Ordinances of tlae City state that when a developer 1s required to go outside his area to obtain sewer and/or water services he is responsible for the constructions of a 6-inch water main from its' present location to the area to be developed, and for the construction of an 8-inch sewer main also to the area. In the case of the Harmony Road Mobile Home Project it will be necessary to extend both sewer and water outside the property, and the City will require both sewer and water mains to be over sized, in which case the City will pay for such over size. As construction progresses on either the sewer or the water main and construction estimates are approved and paid to the Contractor, the City in turn is willing to make payment to the developer for their share of the main constructed to that date. On September 25, 1970, Mr. Roy G. White met with me in my office and showed me portions of a proposed agreement relative to the transfer of certain real, properties, namely the Harmony Road Mobile Home site. At that time I wrote Mr. White a letter to clarify the City's position as stated In Paragraphs A, C and D, and I am enclosing a copy of that letter for you,. Mr. Sidney Brooks October 26, 1970 Page 2 I can see no problem as far as the City is concerned in the development of this site, and I can assure you we will cooperate with you on said development and further on the activities required relative to annexation if this should be your desire. Sincerely yours, Charles Liquin Director of Public Works CL/lms Enclosure ti P. O. Box 580 300 West LaPorte Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado Telephone 303 484-4220 80521 December 17, 1971 Mr. Sidney Brooks 11301 West Colfax Avenue Denver, Colorado 80215 Dear Mr. Brooks: Following our meeting on Tuesday, I checked with the attorney as to any possible additional participation the City may be able to make and he reminded me of Section 43 of the Water Ordinance and a comparable Section in the Sewer Ordinance. Section 43 states: Extension of mains -- reimbursement. When a subdivider finds it necessary to bring water service from the existing water system through vacant property to his platted subdivision, or construct lines on the perimeter of said subdivision, the subdivider shall pay the cost of the original construction. The size of the mains shall be deter- mined by the City, and where the required mains are larger than 6 inches, the water utility shall pay the percentages of cost as set fortis in Section 41. At the time of annexation, or as the property abutting such water main is developed, and connections are made to the said water main, the City may collect a charge assessed in relation to benefit to the affected property, based upon the original construction cost, and if so collected shall reimburse the original subdivider to the extent of the collection so made. In no event, shall the actual amount so paid to the subdivider by the City exceed the original cost to the subdivider of the excess extension. On this basis, the City will be limited to the participation as outlined in the Ordinance or as given to you in various meetings. Sincerely, Charles Liquin CL/lms Director of Public Works TIME CENTER OF THE W(-)2E_D February 18, 1972 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Tom Coffey, City Manager FROM: Charles Liquin, Director of Public Works RE: Oversize Water Main Participation In 1969 a developer requested of the City permission to extend City utilities to a proposed trailer court in the vicinity of the Harmony School. This was discussed with the Water Board and they recommended such permission be granted. Bids have now been received on the necessary offsite water mains for the installation of 2773 lin.ft. of 12 inch cast iron pipe and 7979 lin. ft. of 16 inchductile iron pipe. Ordinance No. 18, 1965 stipulates City participation as being 40 percent on 12 inch and 65 percent on 16 inch. On this basis, City participation would be $79,116 for actual construction plus some additional for engineering and staking. Bids werealso received for the construction of the oversize sewer mains being 5531 lin.ft. of 24 inch, 5156 lin.ft. of 21 inch and 344 lin. ft. of 18 inch.. Ordinance No. 1.7, 1965 states that City participation on 18 inch will be 35 percent and for mains larger than 18 inch, the participation is to be determined by the City Council. The City Engineer's office has reviewed bids on large sewer mains and recommends the partici- pation on 21. i_ncii to be 50 percent and the participation on 24 inch to be 60 percent. On this basis, the total City participation for the 2 1/4 miles of sewer mains would be $109,000 plus some cost for engineering and staking. I would recommend that the City Council approve the participation as recommended by the City Engineer and approve the constructiou of both the sewer and water extensions as outlined herein. A tabulation of the bids together with a breakdown of participation by percentages is attached herewith. Respectfully submitted, Charles Liquin - Director of Public Works CL/lms Attachment M 11301 West Colfax Ave. Denver, Colorado 80215 Telephone: 233-1345 larch 7, 1972 uear Mr. Liquin: The following is our understanding on the water and sewer facilities for Harmony Road Mobile Home Park. It is under- stood that the City of Fort Collins has accepted the bid figures for Ball. -Irwin Construction Company for water and sewer installations, and nas agreed on participation as laid out by Hogan and Olaausen in the above submission to the city. In addition to the above we will enter into an agreement with the City whereby the City will list our rebates on the water and sewer lines to the extent that we will receive our .total participation amount back if adjacent property owners tap onto these lines within a 10 year period. This rebate is also to include the adjacent property to our east line in regard to the sewer line installed along our east property line. also, our further arrangement is that the city will pay 55% of each invoice that we submit for payments at the same time payment is requested by the contractor. ny additional amount will be supplied by the city at the end of the contract. also, we are holding for transfer to the City eight shares of Warren Lake water and two shares of Larimer No. 2 water to satisfy the requirements of the city to serve water to the property. The City has notified us that the water rights are adequate and have agreed that this land will be served with a single sewer and water tap, (or as many connections as necessary for developement) and individual sewer and water taps and the fee connected therewith will not he required by the individual trailer units or tenants. If you are in agreement with the above please note approval and return to us. Very truly yours, MOBILE wORLJ, ING.

Robert Shields, W. E. Morgan, W. K. (Bill) Tiley, Calvin Strobel, and Fred W. Nussbaumer, are the joint owners of a private irrigation ditch southeast of Fort Collins, Colorado. This ditch distributes water from Warren Lake, and crosses the 13ob Asmus farm and the land farmed by Emmet Reid, by deeded ease - merit. In extending sewer lines to the Harmony Village Mobile Home Park, one or more of you, no doubt through lack of understanding of the situation, placed the sewer line directly under the ditch at the point mentioned, not only destroying the ditch at that point, but also 2ovcrcly damaging a concrctc structure forming a part of the ditch at that point. This trespass was unauthorized and, in the view of the owners, unlawful and wrongful, and of such danger and magnitude as to require immediate correction. It is apparent that the ditch can not be reconstructed as it previously existed, because it would, of necessity, lie located over nearly eight feet of loose soil, which, no matter how well compacted, could never be expected to hold any substantial volume of water. The only solution capable of correcting the situation is the installa- tion and maintenance of a 24 to 36 inch tile along the disturbed por- tion of the ditch, the exact size to be determined by consultation between your engineers and the owners. This must, of course, be accompanied by the repair of the concrete structure. Hogan and Olhausen, P.C. Harmony Village Mobile Home Park Hall -Irwin Construction Company City of Fort Collins, Colorado April 24, 1972 Page 2 The urgency of the situation cannot be overemphasized. Not only are owners now deprived of their irrigation water, to their present damage, but any continuation of this situation will cause sustained and increasing damages. In addition, this ditch has long served as a ditch capturing waste and seepage water, and in its present state we can expect severe flooding of the Reid farm, Horsetooth Road, and the Webster and other lands lying below the ditch. The amount of damage which can be expected in any type of high flood or seepage situation can harc2.ly be imagined; and the owners expect full indemnity against this possibility. It is requested that you contact Mr. Robert Shields at the Bob Busch Realty office as soon as possible, so that immediate steps can be taken to correct this totally unsatisfactory and dan- gerous situation. If an immediate solution cannot be agreed upon, the owners will take such further action as they be advised. Yours truly, W H. Fischer WHF/pgp cc: Robert Shields 1644 S.

I have further investigated the procedures used in backfill of trenches in the prllvate properties and location off the County road. Both the contractor and my project engineer state that in addition to hand - tamping around and above the pipe, as required by the specifications, the vibrating tamper was used in all the private properties and fields in which the lines were installed. I am not sure why this matter was brought up at this time, but we have no reason to believe that the trenches were not properly compacted in accordance with the specifications. I do think that a thorough investigation of all trenches should be made at the end of the one year term to assure that no settlement has occurred. If there are areas which are not satisfactory, then the contractor shall be required to correct his work. I hope the above comments helped to clarify this matter and answer any other questions that might arise. If I can be of further service, please do not hesitate to so advise.

The park lies south and east of Fort Collins and is being constructed by Sid Brooks and Associates. The specific portions that we would like you to consider for plastic pipe material are for all water mains less than 6" in diameter. These mains would not provide fire flow but would be 4" to 2" water mains or the service line to each individual user. For water mains 2" and larger, we request that P.V.C. pipe with gasketed joints of minimum Class 200 be permitted. There are certain laying conditions or cer- tain solvent weld plastic pipe that may be a better installation than gasketed joint plastic pipe for 2" and larger mains. However, these should be carefully investigated on an individual basis. For mains less than 2" and primarily for individual services of 3/4" and 1" diameter, we request that either a Schedule 40 solvent weld P.V.C. pipe or a high -molecular weight polyethelene plastic pine of minimum Class 160 be permitted. We suggest that all plastic pipe used for the mobile home park meet the following minimum specifications or the latest revision thereof: P.V.C. Pipe_ 1. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) 2. ASTM D-1784-65T for Type I, Grade I, P.V.C. material 3. ASTM D-1785-67a for Schedule 40 and 80. 4. ASTM D-2241-65 for Class 160 and 200 5. Commercial Standard C.S. 256-63 for Class 160 and 200 6. Commercial Standard C.S.-207-63 for Schedule 40 and 80 High-MoIecular Weight Plastic Pipe 1. Commercial Standard C.S.-255-63 In addition to these specifications, the Colorado Health Department has approved plastic pipe. Mr. Charles Liquiin November 13, 1972 Project No. 35-1--1E Page Two The rural water districts between the Denver and Fort Collins area have installed the majority of plastic pipe in Colorado and have the most exper- ience therefrom. Several municipalities are currently installing plastic pipe in their main systems to replace old pipe, fire hydrant installations, and developments such as condominiums and mobile home parks. Several muni- cipalities are also using plastic pipe as the service line to each individual owner. Although many of the municipalities do not have a long experience with plastic, they have made a detailed investigation as to the type and use of plastic pipe. The following is a list of current entities in Colorado that have installed plastic pipe: 1. City of Aurora (main line replacement and fire hydrant installations) 2. City of Boulder (in isolated areas) 3. Table Mesa Housing Development (approved by the City of Denver) 4. Town of Kiowa 5. Colorado City 6. Boy Scout Camp at Albert 7. Elizabeth (fire hydrant installations) 8. City of Grand Junction 9. Town of Vale 10. Halcraft Townhouse (Approved by the City of Denver) 11.

In that this extension of a sewer facility will be ue.dca in the future and hau been planned by the Engineering i1 Department of t.lu City, tiie exLeasioa at tiffs time was approved and tile: hi Ly COn11Cli nciy ttleti SO ilOtifien. Duriu•� ttie course of discussio❑ of sewer services to this area, tiie possibility of water service also to this area was discussed. The developers t.aeiaselves would prefer to use City of port Collins water, and ttie finaxiclu�; abent for this development would also prefer to use City water. Oil tilt, basis of Uieir inquiry, 1 have advised Cite investors tiiat tue City would be happy to work with tilem on such a water main extehsion, and according to ordiaatice, wu would participate in the cost thereof and would enter itito a repay a;reeroent upon completion of the installation. Enclosed herewith is a map showing the proposed main extension and the sizing of the extension. Enclosed also is an estimate of the cost of Lite installation. You will note both on the map and in the estimate that this line has been broken into several sections, depending on the size and tile extent of City participation. Based on tiie estimate, it would appear that Lac City is looking at I an expenditure of approximately $88,000. This seems, on the surface, to be a consideraole amount, but we must take into consideration that for this amount, we are obtaining somethin& more than three or four miles of trunk water main, and we are opening up a considerable area for future development. As you know, i have been checking recently on the manner in which the City is serving sewer and water to various unit developments as well as a particular trailer park. Our most recent trailer park connected to Lite City system will have 163 units, all of which are served on a single 3-inch meter with a plant investment fee to the City of $2,500. Tais, in round numbers, would provide a plant investment fee of approximately $15 per trailer. Had we required individual services for each trailer, the plant investment fee would have been $30,155. I feel tnat the full $185 plant investment fee per living unit is excessive, however, I feel a single meter for a trailer r;emo to: Tom Cof November 15, 1968 Page 2 court is just as far off the other direction. on this basis, I would recommend that two trailer units be considered a living unit, in which case, the plant investment fee to the above mentioned trailer court on Harmony Road would amount to $57,535, leaving the City with a net participating cost on this turee miles of trunk main of approximately $30,500. I have not at this time discussed the water service in detail with the developer, and I am requesting permission to discuss said water service on tae basis of this memo. This is one of the largest and longest water main extensions the City has, avid dances are, will have into a local water district. I feel it would be oeueficial to the City administration to discuss this memo and tiii.s extension witu both the Water Board and the City Council.

During r_he course of the day yesterday, March 25, I was contacted by the engineer for the Harmony Village Trailer Court, and he inferred that the trailer court would be extending the City water main and asked if there was any provision whereby the City could not extend water ruins into water districts. This ties into Alden i:ill's letter to Poudre Valley Construction. I advised him that according to Ward Fischer, Water _Board Attorney, we are not subject to any rules and regulations in tug water district mid that it would be permissable for him to extend the water main to the trailer court. I further advised 'him chat such an exteusiou may cause a lawsuit to be filed, however, we are in a position to enter any and all litigation, and his client should not be concerned about such a possibility. ULater in the day, I received a call from Bill Allen, attorney for Poudre Valley Construction, who uad the same concern, and was advised in a manner similar to the trailer court s. Bill also asked if it were possible to put up cash in lieu of water rights, in that at the time of annexation, there was no water with the land, due to a previous agreement and committment with the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District. The going rate for Horsetooth water, according to Bill Allen, is $225 per unit, whereas our present ordinance states the developer will pay the City at a rate of $140 per unit. It is requested that a Water Board meeting be held in the near future to adjust the $140 rate in our present ordinance, to be advised of Alden Hill's letter, and to discuss the East Larimer cross connection. Respectfully submitted, Charles Liquin Director of Public Works CL/bkm April 3, 1969 Mr. Dale D. Olhausen 750 Lincoln Loveland, Colorado 80537 Dear Dale: I am writing you at this time to confirm the conversation held between yourself, Roy White, City Manager, Tom Coffey, and myself this morning, relative to the proposed development of an 80-acre tract along Harmony Road, and relative to the water rights required by the City in order to provide water service to this area. Mr. Coffey and I were advised that the property in question has _ eight shares of Warren Lake water and two shares of Latimer No. 2 water. These shares have been analyzed as to the yield and relative flow based on Horsetooth or Big "T" water and the transfer of the eight shares of Warren Lake and two shares of East Latimer will H surely satisfy any requirements we may have for water right furnishings. Some time ago, the possibility of serving this land with City water was discussed with the Water Board of the City of Fort Collins as well as the City Council. It has further been discussed with the City Attorney, and in all cases, the permission to extend City mains to serve this area has been approved and upon acceptance of your utility drawings, you will be in a position to initiate the iA construction for the extension of our system. Thank you for your cooperation in the above matter. If we can be of further assistance, kindly feel free to call my office. Very truly yours, Charles Liquin Director of Public Works CL/bkm cc: Mr. Roy G. Waite June 20, 1969 TO: Tom Coffey, City Manager FROM: Charles Liquin, Director of Public Works it RE: Water rights for Harmony Road Trailer Court. On April 3, Mr. Roy White, one of the owners of the trailer court, together with his engineer, Mr. Dale D. Olhauseu, met with the two of nl us, relative to the water rights requirement for an 80-acre tract along Harmony Road. At that time, they left a review of water rights on their land as determined by a Wayne Hackett, Water Resources Engineer. This review shows two shares of Latimer County Canal No. 2 each being worth 47.506 horsetootii'uuits and eight shares of Warren Lake Reservoir storage, which has a value of approximately 12. On this basis, they will be transferring to the City 190 units for 80 acres of land. Tuis we felt was adequate and so advised them. UEnclosed herewith is a copy of Wayne nackett's figures as well as i� a copy of the letter written by me advising them of the adequacy. ILJI Respectfully submitted, Charles Liquin u Director of Public Works CL/bkm pc: Council.

Whether, to the best of your knowledge, the repre- sentations in the agreement between L & W Invest- ment Company and myself, relating to certain activ- ities to be undertaken by the City, are accurate. Please reaffirm to me the matters set forth in your letter to L & W Investment Company dated September 25, 1970, relating to the project.
