Re: manning subdivision
On November Sth, I directed Flatiron Paving to cease grading work on
University Avenue because the utility plans had not been approved by
the City and a utility agreement had not been finalized between the
City and the developer. I talked to Skip Jodoin of Flatiron later
that day and told him that I would not allow any more work on this
subdivision until the utility agreement was in order.
The City of Fort Collins Codes and Ordinances Chapter 99 (subdivision
of land) specifically states that - "No improvements shall be made
until all required plans, profiles and specifications for the same have
been suYmitted to and approved by the City Engineer." on or about
November 7th, your company installed vertical curb and gutter on
University Avenue for this subdivision in direct violation of this
ordinance. Also the Engineering Inspection Department was not notified
that you were performing this work.
I called Jim Feidler of your company on November loth and informed him
of these facts. Fortunately, the curb and gutter was not revised during
City approval of these plans, however, there are underground utilities
to install and I am concerned because the curb and gutter now in place
might compromise this installation.
There are four sewer services to install and the existing sewer main is
ten feet deep. To insure adequate compaction of these deep trenches,
I will direct the utility line contractor to remove curb and gutter
at these crossings.

There is a six inch diameter water main to be installed on University
Avenue approximately four feet north of, and parallel to, the curb and
gutter you installed. I have talked with the utility line contractor,
and he believes that he can install this line without damaging your
work. However, I will not hesitate to direct him to rerove any or all
curb and gutter if I feel that it might endanger workmen in the trench
by preventing a safe excavation.
After the underground utilities are installed and accepted, your congpany
will be required to replace the curb and gutter reroved or damaged at
no expense to the utility line contractor, or to the City of Fort Collins.
If you would be sure to notify the Engineering Inspection Department
as required by Chapter 95 of City of Fort Collins Codes, I en sure that
I can prevent such problems in the future.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 484-4220,
extension 728.

Re: Manning Subdivision
Dear Ron:
This letter is to recap our conversation of January 19, 1983, concerning
the need for asphalt pavement on University Avenue adjacent to the
Manning Subdivision. On this date I informed you that the subdivider
of this project was not required to totally improve this street section
until such time as his buildings are completed and ready for Certificates
of Occupancy.
The Code of the City of Fort Collins, Chapter 99, sets the criteria
for development. In addition, each developer is required to sign a
utility agreement with the City at the time of his subdivision approval.
This agreement sets additional criteria for each particular subdivision.
In reviewing the agreement for the Manning Subdivision, there is no time
limit for street construction completion. Therefore, the City cannot
require the developer to install the necessary asphalt pavement at this time.
I have visited this particular site and do agree that there is a need for
some type of material to be placed between the old asphalt edge and the
new curb and gutter. This situation does pose a vehicular safety hazard.
The developer will be contacted and informed that he needs to correct this
problem. It must be noted that the material the developer elects to use
may not be of the road base type. Again, the developer is not required
to complete any improvements until such time as directed by the utility
agreement or City Code.
Hopefully I have answered your question of why this street section has not
been paved. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at
484-4220, extension 728.
Si rely,
Dave Stringer
Chief Construction Inspector
