As noted on the plan, the two-year historic runoff is two CFS, 100-year historic flow 6.5 CFS, and 100-year PUD runoff approximately 6.8 CFS. The new construction would involve only .44 acres; most of the property will not be affected by new construction. Partial runoff (to the north) from the newly constructed area would be piped to a storm drain in Princeton Road, and the remainder to the existing north curb and gutter in Drake Road. Existing runoff for the remainder of the property flows north to the curb and gutter in Princeton Road, and south to the curb and gutter in Drake Road. A catch basin collects runoff from the drive-in banking facility of the north, and is piped directly to an existing storm drain. Since the increased runoff from new PUD construction is calculated to be minimal, and total site development area small, it is requested that the area drain be constructed as shown, that runoff also be drained in the new driveway and collected in the curb and gutter in Drake Road, and that the normal detention ponding techniques be waived. It may also be noted that existing development on the site would make construction of a detention pond abnormally expensive, if not impossible. Please review this request at your earliest convenience. If any further clarification is necessary, please call me. Sincerely, SosepDh C. Roesser, Jr., PE cc: Ron Walling Jim Gefroh Home Federal PUD April 2, 1984 pace 2 during the winter months. The attempt proved futile, since the road base was frez.n, and the right turn lane had to be barricaded off. - It is :come Federal's responsibility to complete the construction of the right turn lane. This will involve developing a plan for stabilizing the subgrade and for completing the construction. I recommend that a qualified engineer and a qualified contractor be hired to develop this plan. PIatt Faker will review the plan and express any concerns that he ray have, and either approve or disapprove the plan based on City standards. It is not his or the city's role to design this plan. His role is to inspect each step of the construction and to either accept it or reject it. I hope this will clarify any misconceptions. If I can be of any further help, please give me a call.

Roesser, Jr. J.C.R. Engineering 211 West Myrtle Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Mr. Roesser: The following is in response to your letter dated August 2, 1981 requesting a variance in the detention requirement for the proposed Hone Federal P.U.D. located at the northeast corner of College Avenue and Drake Road. As you indicated the additional runoff produced will be minimal and will not adversely affect the existing drainage capacity of Drake Road and Princeton Road. A variance from the detention requirements for the Herne Federal P.U.D. site is hereby granted thus allowing a portion of the developed runoff to flow directly onto Drake and Princeton Roads. It is understood that the remaining portion of the runoff will flow to a proposed catch basin and be piped to an existing storm drain in Princeton Road and that this proposed storm drain will he built according to the City of Fort Collins standard specifications for storm drainage construction.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Attn: Joe Frank, Senior Planner Planning Division FrXMEC) APR 9 198� PLANNING bEpARTMENT Re: Home Federal Savings & Loan Association P.U.D. Dear Joe: Referencing your tlarch 23, 1982 letter concerning the final drawings for the Home Federal Savings & Irian Association P.U.D., all items have been revised as requested, except for item number 5. Since there is an existing fire hydrant at the southeast corner of Drake Road and College Avenue, and since there were no comrents from the City requesting an additional fire hydrant installation at the preliminary stage of approval, the request for this additional cost to the project does not seem justified. Therefore, the existing fire hydrant has been added to the drawings, and no new hydrant placement is shown. Sincerely, oseph C. Roesser, Jr., P.C. JCR:kd �7 v CITY OF FORT COLLINS P.O.

Dear John: Josh Richardson, from Streets and Traffic, has informed me that a traffic signal pole and controller will have to be moved as a result of constructing the right turn lane adjacent to the Home Federal Project. Streets and Traffic Crews will do the work and it will be paid for by the Street Oversizing Fund. But, Streets and Traffic will have to bill the work to Home Federal and they will then have to request reimbursement from Street Oversizing. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Dear Sohn: Matt Baker, Construction Inspector for the City of Fort Collins, has informed me that the contractor is having some difficulty stabilizing the subgrade for the construction of the right turn lane. Per our previous negotiations, we agreed that the Street Oversizing Fund would reimburse Home Federal for the costs of excavation and pavement required for the turn lane. Oversizing will also pay for the cost of stabilizing the subgrade. Matt is concerned that the contractor may not be experienced at this type of work and has not properly handled the construction of the right turn lane to date. I would like you and your contractor to work closely with Matt to plan a method of stabilizing the subgrade and protecting it from excess moisture until it is paved. Oversizing will not pay for any costs caused by the contractors lack of experience or inablility protect the subgrade until it is paved. If I can be of any further help, please give me a call.

Dear John, As per our telephone conversation of December 16, 1983 you asked about the City Street Department's temporary asphalt paving of the right turn lane of Home Federal Savings at College Avenue and Drake Road. The temporary asphalt pavement on this project will be removed at the City's expense, whether the City Street Department removes it, or the paving subcontractor removes it for later reimbursement. I have been assigned to this project as inspector. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at 221-6605. Sincerely, i i Matt Baker Engineering Construction Inspector CITY OFF FORT COLLINS ENGINEERING SERVICES April 2, 1984 John Renhowe, AIA Gefroh Associates Inc. 555 Howes Street Suite 100 Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Re: Home Federal Savings P.U.D. Dear John: There seems to some misconception of the City's role in this project. As a part of the development agreement Home Federal agreed to construct the right turn lane at the corner of Drake Road and College Avenue adjacent to Home Federal Savings. The City's role as with any development initiated street project is to approve the plans, inspect the project to assure conformity to the plans and the City construction standards, and to reimburse the development for any street oversizing costs. - The City has already reviewed and approved the Home Federal PUD plans. - At a meeting on October 18, 1983, we discussed the project's costs and agreed on the costs which the Street Oversizing Fund would pay. Your letter of October 19, 1983, accurately outlined the costs which Home Federal agreed to pay and the costs which will be reimbursed to Home Federal from the Street Oversizing Fund. I confirmed these costs in a letter dated October 24, 1983. - In a letter dated November 16, 1983, I notified you that Matt Baker, a city construction inspector, had informed me that the contractor was having some difficulty stabilizing the subgrade. Matt was also concerned that the contractor might not be experienced at this type of work and had not properly handled the construction of the right turn lane to date. I stated that the City would be willing to pay the costs for stabilizing the base and for you to work with Matt Baker on this. I also noted that the City would not pay for any costs caused by the contractors lack of experience or inability to protect the subgrade until it was paved. - In mid -December once it was obvious that the turn lane was not going to be completed due to the winter weather, the City stepped in and paved the right turn lane with 1" of asphalt in hopes of making the turn lane usable f f 'Jt Ff { fJf t 4+✓li i <_., _ �7 5•x SN(] k ol, Colhn,.
