Landmark PUD Dear Mr. Smith: it has recently been brought to the attention of my client, Robert Young, that property on the corner of Shields and Prospect has been approved for an apartment complex subject to the builder constructing a floodway-cum-greenbelt. T would like to inform you of the water use by Mr. Young in the B. B. Harris Drain Ditch, Consolidated, Tombaugh Seepage Ditch No. 1, and R. R. Harris Irrigation Pitch to icrigate approximately five acres that he owns at 1601 Sheely Drive. Presumablv, any plans to construct the floodwav that might interfere with the diversion, or inter- cept the Flow in the ditches of Mr. Young's water will he incor- porated in the construction of a structure so that Mr. Young can continue to divert by pump onto his acreage. I would appreciate hearing from you on this matter. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss it, please do not hesi- tate to contact me by letter or telephone.

Prospect Road Fort Collins, W 80521 Dear Mr. Foster, I would like to thank you, your wife and daughter for coming to the Engineering Services office last Wednesday to talk about your property at 1015 W. Prospect Rd. and the upcoming Landmark S.I.D. project. I am especially appreciative of the friendly informal manner in which we were able to communicate. During our discussions we covered many details of the project. However, there were four main items which were of concern to you that we talked about. These were: 1. Payment for property taken. The City will pay you, or the current landowner for property taken at the fair market value of that property. 2. Replacement of parking spaces lost. The City will replace, on a one -for -one basis, the parking spaces lost due to the widening of Prospect Rd. We talked about putting these in the back of the building, adjacent to some existing parking spaces. In lieu of this the City will pay the value of the lost spaces. We prefer the first alternative. 3. Rebuild "level spot" in drive. The City will rebuild an equivalent "level spot" on the west drive that goes through the 16' wide access easement to the south side of your lot. 4. Curb cut by existing gravel parking area. The City will provide a curb cut adjacent to your existing parking area to allow for access to the south portion of your lot when you modify the existing landscaping. The new curb cut, however, will probably be narrower than the existing curb cut. I hope I have correctly summarized the points of your concern. I must also mention here, as I did during our discussion, that I do not speak with "final" authority. By City Code land acquisition and many other matters must be approved by the City Council. I can state, however, that I feel comfortable with the four items above and do not anticipate any problems with their fulfi:Llment.

The Agreement details the procedures for Landmark Apartments, Ltd. to follow in assuming the construction management responsibilities and the City's procedures in paying the bills. The developer has begun construction this month and is making significant progress. This will result in widening of a trouble- some corner at the southeast corner of Prospect Road and South Shields Street. This culminates several weeks of negotiation between Tom Gathmann, the contractor, and adjoining homeowners.

Fort Collins, CO 80526 Dear Larry: It has been brought to my attention that two manholes in Hobbit Street (part of the S.I.D.) are in need of repair in order to meet City Standards for sanitary sewer main construction as follows: MH-B-1 - The original ring & cover installed by Schmidt Exc. has been removed and replaced with a paving ring riser. The correct ring & cover needs to be installed and adjusted to final grade and the asphalt pavement then repaired. MH (Proposed by Windtrail) - The same as above for MH-B-I. MH-D-1 - Asphalt pavement needs to be replaced around the MH. These repairs need to be completed prior to the issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy that would place this sanitary sewer into service. It should be rioted that the S.I.D. has not yet been final inspected by the City. Therefore, additional corrections or repairs could be required prior to final acceptance by the City. Attached, for your information, please find a copy of my daily inspection log where I noted that I had checked all the MH ring & cover elevations as per Engineering Professional grade stakes placed for Schmidt Exc. in order to assure that: the MH's were at the proper elevations. Please notify me at 221-6605 when this work is being done or if I can be of any assistance to you regarding this matter. —Very truly yours, Vk Rodney R.

Rolle Walker Landmark Apts. Ltd. MRW Investment Corporation 911 South 8th Street Colorado Springs, CO 80906 Re: Off -site drainage swale Dear Rolle, The drainage improvements for Landmark P.U.D. are nearly complete. I visited the site last week for a brief inspection, and found the overall drainage system to be functional, and therefore permitted the release of more building permits and certificates of occupancy. On Sheet 6 of 9 of the P.U.D. plans, mention is made of a drainage swale beginning at the curb chase on Hobbit Street and running to the existing importation canal in Windtrail P.U.D. This swale is necessary to direct the runoff from Hobbit Street to Spring Creek and avoid ponding of water adjacent to your development. Reference is made to a detail on the Windtrail P.U.D. plans that show a swale with a concrete trickle channel. I do not feel it is appropriate at this time to construct the swale as shown in that detail because the final location of the Swale may change. Therefore, I recommend that a swale of sufficient capacity to handle Landmark's existing runoff be designed and constructed in the general location shown on the plans. Since this is a temporary condition, a concrete trickle channel is not necessary, however, I would recommend that a small (4") subdrain be installed to minimize standing water, and that the Swale be seeded with native, drought resistant grasses. Rolle Walker February 27, 1SI85 Page Two Since this outfall is a necessary portion of Landmark's drainage system, it is important: that it be completed prior to the release of the last certificate of occupancy. Larry Gomez mentioned that the seeding specified for the importation canal would not occur until July - several months after the project is scheduled to be completed. The subdivision agreement for Landmark P.U.D. requires that all public improvements be completed and accepted before the last certificate of occupancy is released. However, the City utilizes two mechanisms to avoid unreasonable delay in situations such as this. The first is to establish an escrow account with the City for the work yet to be completed; the second is to provide an irrevocable letter of credit for the work. In both cases the dollar amount must be 150% of the engineer's estimate of the cost of improvements. This guarantees that there is sufficient money to complete the work, thus protecting the City, while allowing the project to avoid delay. I have briefly discussed the offsite swale recommendations with Mike Schmid. If you wish to discuss this further with me, or perhaps ask Mike to follow up on it, please don't hesitate to call.

Box 726 Colorado Springs„ CO 80901 Dear Sirs: It has been brought to my attention that two sections of the six inch vertical curb and gutter and a small area of asphalt pavement installed by Flatiron Concrete and Flatiron Paving, respectively, have settled on Shields Street. This failure has occurred approximately twenty feet south of the radius on the southeast corner of Shields and Prospect. This appears to be it the vicinity of Vine irrigation tap that was existing and used by the cons' --ruction trailer office. Since the initial acceptance of the public right-of-way improvements on November 28, 1984, and the final acceptance of t'ne same on June 11, 1985, both the concrete And asphalt pavement are still under warranty to the City. Please accept this as official notification that these failures are to be repaired under the warranty provision in your contract with the City of Fort Collins. It would be to your advantage to make these repairs as soon as possible to prevent any further deterioration in this area due to the improper drainage now occurring from tnis settlement. Also, please notify the City Engineer's office prior to making these repairs so the limits of removal can be determined and agreed upon. If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at 221-6605. Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated. Sincerely Rodney R.

When we have reasonable assurance that the SID will be established and funded, we will arrange to proceed with the work and "front" the costs as required prior to the availability of funds from the sale of bonds. We will be working in conjunction with the engineers in preparing the costs and other information that will be required for the September 6, 1983, Council agenda so the resolution and first reading approvals can occur at that time.

Those portions of streets that are adjacent to the boundaries of the development are also considered the responsibility of the developer for improvement to current standards. Therefore, in the case of Landmark P.U.D. it will be necessary for the developer's engineer to prepare the final drawings and manage the construction of the improvements to Prospect Road and Shields Street that will be completed as part of the Landmark S.I.D. No. 80 project. We will provide the preliminary plans showing alignment and grade as well as provide the normal inspection and testing services associated with any Public R.O.W. construction within the City.The engineering costs for the portion of Prospect Road that is east of Landmark will be paid for by the City on a basis prorated with developer's engineering costs.
