RE: Scenic Knolls Water Association
Dear Ms. Miller:
The intent of this letter is to verify that the street construction on South Shields Street is an
interim improvement. The Land Use Code of the City of Fort Collins requires all developments
have access to an improved Arterial Street ( with this project Shields is the arterial), and if the
access does not exist, they are required to upgrade the street to a thirty-six ( 36 ) foot wide cross-
section on a base adequate to accommodate the ultimate design, or they must construct the
arterial in accordance with the City design standards criteria, ( this would be the ultimate design).
In most cases developers elect to construct the 36 foot interim design at their cost. Which is the
case with the Registry Ridge Development.
For your information I have inclosed a copy of the cross-section that will be similar to the
ultimate design of Shields Street as well as a drawing that shows approximately what is being
constructed as an interim improvement by the Registry Ridge developer.
As I stated previously, the Shields Street design pioposed by the Registry Ridge developer is an
interim design and Shields will be improved to the ultimate design with a cross section as per the
attached detail sometime in the future.
Hopefully, this information is useful and if you have any questions, please call me at 221-6605

RM,: Registry Ridge Preliminary
Response to City Comments
Dear Michael,
This letter is the second letter to your office in response to the comments
regarding issues received regarding the Registry Ridge ODP and
Preliminary PUD. "I'his letter will address those issues which are
applicable to Nort.herr, Engineering Services, Inc (N1iS). All other issues
will he addressed by Jim Sell. Design, Matt Delich, or Riverside
Technology, lnc.
NF.S has reviewed comments regarding the onsite and offsite utilities
with "berry Ferrill from Fort Collins/Loveland Water and Sewer District.
All of the comments and concerns that the District expressed with the
preliminary submittat can be addressed at the time of final design. The
offsite sewer is currently being prepared and will be submitted to the
District as a separate project. Northern Ingiueering has also developed
and reviewed a Hydraulic Master Plan with Terry Merrill per District
requirement (comment 8, Overall Development Plan).
A copy of the letter from Elaine Spencer at Larimer County concerning
Traffic issues has been forwarded to Matt Delich. Matt will be responding
to Elaine's concerns. NES is currently working on the arterial designs of
South Shields Street and "trilby Road. 'these arterial roadway plans will
be submitted to the City as a separate project, and at that time the plans
Will also he submitted to I,arimer County For their review and approval.
NES met with City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility to review their
comments, and to determine the extent of our resubmittal package.
Stormwater indicated that they would like us to resubmit our Preliminary
Drainage and Frosion Control Study, as this will serve as a Master Plan
For the Registry Ridge ODP. NES is revising this study per City
comments.
We also discussed with Kerrie Ashbeck the extent of the revisions to be
resubmitted. She indicated that the revised site plans from Jim Sell
would address the majority of Engineerings' concerns. She said that we
will not need to resubmit a revised copy of the Preliminary Plat, or
revised Preliminary Utility plans, other than those required to be
I esubmitted by Stormwater. Kerrie also indicated that a meeting should
be set up with City Engineering regarding the proposed street rotaries.
'These meetings are being coordinated by Jim Sell Design. Other than
that, all engineering issues cnn be addressed at time of Final Design.
In particular, I would like to address the following specific issues per
previous City comment and your letter dated July 17, 1995:
Comment 4d., oDP - The developer understands that these wetlands
cannot he negatively affected. Neither the proposed road or the
fire access road will be located in the wetlands area, and at time of
final desig❑ a hydrogeologic study will be prepared concerning
these roads and to the sources of the wetlands hydrology, whether
it is fed from above or underground (or both) sources.
Comment 6a & 6c, ODP - If and when the park site is finalized, any
drainage channel can be relocated on site to coordinate with any
future park development. The design NES chose was one which
❑tilized the existing drainage conveyance clement. Per discussions
with Stormwater Utility, rerouting this existing drainago channct
will not be a problem.
Comment 8, ODP - This has been prepared, and has been reviewed
with the District.
Coun7ient 1 and 2 a-e, Preliminary PUD - The developer agrees to
the additional easements required by Columbine Cablevision and
US West, and these will be incorporated into the Fivat plats for
Registry Ridge.
Comment 3, Preliminary PUD - This legal description will be added
to the Site plan, submitted by Jim Sell Design. "The preliminary plat
is not being resubmitted, per Kerrie Ashbeck.
Comment 41), Preliminary PUD - Per conversations with the District,
and per the preliminary hydraulic master plan developed for the
District, these Fire flow requirements can he complied with.
Comment 12a, Preliminary PUD - City Storrnwater policy (per Glen
Schlueter) is that if the quality, quantity, or peak flows are
changed, downstream offsite easements will be required to the
receiving named drainageway. In regard to Registry Ridge, this
would be applicable to flows that cross Trilby in the northwest
corner of the project, and flow to Smith Creek. Glen has said the
developer has two options; one is to obtain ol'fsitc easements, the
other is to provide onsite detention and retentio❑ (this eliminates
any changes to downstream runoff conditions). NES, as a part of
the Preliminary drainage report resubmittal, is incorporating the
latter alternative of a dek-11tio❑ and retention system.
Comment 121), Preliminary PUD — The developer agrees and
encourages cooperation and coordination with the Natural
Resources Department, especially in regards to the Wetlands areas,
transition areas, and water quality.
Please call if you have any questions regarding this letter, or any
queStionS pertinent to the Registry Ridge Preliminary submittal.
Sincerely,
Roger A. Curtiss P.C.

This proposal has been reviewed by this office and the following comments are submitted.
This development will add significant traffic to Shields and Trilbv in this area. Traffic is increasing on both
roadways and particular ;attention needs to be paid to the frilbp/Shields intersection and to Shields Street north of
Trilby to Clarendon Hills. Shields Street north of this proposal does not meet current urban standards and should
be improved.
The intersection should be signalized with this develonment if it meets warrants. Larimer County is not in a
position to signalize this intersection unless Funds are made available through the North Front Range
Transportation and Air puality Pkmnine Council � NFRT&AQPC)i.
Construction drawings for improvements to Shields and Trilby should be submitted to this office fer review.
The following items relate specifically to the traffic report. Any questions regarding these comments should be
addressed to Firian Fraaken at-198-571 S.
I . In reviewine the existing count data with the future background traffic volumes it appears that there are
several questionable future background traffic volumes. Specifically, the northbound AM right turns from Shields
to Tidinv decrease front 1995 to �000. and no growth in hackground traffic (1995 vs 2015) is shown foi the Abl
eastbound left turns as well as PM northbound left turns and southbound right turns. It is ur ikeh that there will
be no growth for decreas--) in anv background turning movement volumes at this intersection.
2. hl reviewing the site traffic at the intersection of Shields and Trilby it is evident that there are several
errors in routine the site ❑arc volumes through'he intersection from/to the site accesses. These errors are up to
-0 vehicles in the peak hour (for instance the site traffic entering the intersection for the Short Ranee Afternoon
Peak Hour Traffic from the south is 70 vehicles less than the sum of the site traffic routed through fie North Road
access point). Due to the lark number of these errors and the potential for them to affect critical movements
Through the intersection the results shown in the intersection analyses may not be valid.
Site traffic in 2015 is shown as static or decreasing from 2000 on the AM peak southbound right turn and the
westbound throuuh movements as well as the PM peak southbound right turn and eastbound left turns. As the site
traffic volumes are to increase sieniEcantly from 3000 to 2015 it is not like] these turning movements would not
increase too.

3. The need for left turn lanes on Shields is more based on an interruption of through traffic or accident
history than by volume. Unless this was provided by the Developer or the City it is unlikely that the
improvements would be made in the near future. The LOS A rating for through tragic on Shields indicates that
the through traffic is not heing significantly impaired or delaved by the turning vehicles at this intersection. "rile
salCty issues of an increasing volume of left turns from Shields could be partially mitigated by reducing the speed
limit ou Shields to reduce the differential speeds of through and turning vehicles.
d. For purposes of determining the amount of impact the development will have on this area it would be
informative if the background only conditions were run. This would permit the identification of significant
impacts due primarily to the new development as opposed to impacts caused by the anticipated background traffic
volumes.
5. File background traffic volumes should include some effect of the McKee Trust to the south. It is not
clear if this was the case or not.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal.

Thank you for sending the latest revisions to the Registry Ridge off -site improvement plans. I have reviewed the
plans and have also reviewed the previous comments sent to you by Pam Duncan, previously of our office, and
Your response to Pam's fetter. It looks like you were able to address most of the comments from Pam but there
are two issues that I would like to clarify:
It is my understanding from talking with Bill Gleiforst, our Traffic Services Supervisor, that the City is
planning on installing a "temporary traffic signal" at the intersection of Shields and Trilby in conjunction
with the interim intersection improvements. Bill said that once the intersection was fully improved the
permanent signals would be installed. I just wanted to double check with you that this is the City's intent.
The only issue from your letter that I have some concerns with is regarding the decision not to include the
intersection of Trilby and Taft Hill in the traffic study. You stated in your letter the City feels that the
development will have a minimal impact to this intersection and therefore did not request that it be a part of
the traffic study. I have no basis to argue the point other than my personal opinion, but I think that it should
have been included as part of the traffic study to confirm the City's feeling. Is there a traffic analysis that
would show the number of new trips directed toward this intersection? This would probably help me see
why you decided not to include this intersection.
After reviewing the plans, I did have some additional comments and questions. Some of the comments that I
redlined on the plans are only suggestions. I will not list these out in this letter but I have included the redlined
set of plans for you to look through. Following are the comments that I feel do need to be looked at and
addressed:
1. There are several existing culverts called out in the plan view that cross Shields and Trilby. Only a few of
these crossings are shown in the profile view. It would be helpful to see all of the culverts shown in the
profile to insure that there is adequate cover over them with the modified road profiles.
Were all of the regrading limits for the side streets and driveways checked? It looks like they probably were,
based on the grading plan but I had a little difficulty reading the grading plan at the scale it was plotted. The
only reason I ask this is that it is a little unusual that the driveways will all tie in smoothly at the ROW line,
especially when some sections of Shields are being lowered by a foot or more and the ROW is only about ten
feet off of the new edge of asphalt.

Dear Linda:
Last week, I met with Mike Herzig, Matt Baker, and Kerrie Ashbeck of the Engineering
Department to discuss the City's requirements for the timing of off -site improvements.
We discussed the City's general Code requirements and standard practice in
interpreting and applying the Code. Hearthfire P.U.D. and the Registry Ridge P.U.D.
were included in the discussion as current development proposals which must meet the
off -site improvement requirements of the City.
As you know, the Code requires all development to have access to an improved arterial
street or an arterial street funded for improvement or the developer must improve the
impacted off -site streets to a minimum of 36 feet in width back to the nearest improved
arterial (Code Section 29-678). Improvements adjacent to a developing property are
required at the time of development while improvements such as auxiliary lanes are
often triggered during the buildout of the development when the impact is created. Off -
sites are required at the time of development (prior to the issuance of the first building
permit) per the Code section referenced above.
The City will accept a letter of credit for 150% of the total cost of the off -site
improvements at the time of the first building permit to guarantee completion of the off -
sites. However, the off -site improvements must be completed prior to issuance of more
than 25% of the building permits in the development (or prior to issuing more than 25%
of the building permits in Phase 1 if the development is phased). Also, as stated in
previous Staff comments on the Redgistry Ridge P.U.D. project, the off -site
improvements are not eligible for any street oversizing reimbursement.
The development agreement for the Registry Ridge P.U.D., 1st Filing will include
language to stipulate the requirements described above. Please call me at 221-6750
with any questions.

3. Were all of the taper lengths u_,igned by the posted speed limit? Some of one tapers appear to be too short
based on the existing speed limit. Perhaps the speed limit is going to change because of the traffic signal.
4. I would recommend against having Pi's in the flowline at the right turn lanes entering the subdivision off of
Shields. I would prefer to see curves constructed.
5. The tie in to the existing road section at the southern construction limits of Shields street,on sheet 16/34,
needs to be changed. I redlined one possible option for tying into the existing asphalt at the south limits of
the improvements. The asphalt needs to be sawcut along a proposed lane line, which in this case would be
the existing centerline.
6. Also on sheet 16/34, I would like to see the profiles extended south (with existing grades called out) to insure
that the existing grades make a smooth transition into the proposed grades.
I redlined several comments on the striping plans with regards to the center lane striping. It seems that it
would make more sense to actually stripe in the left turn lanes rather than have a continuous center turn lane
striped.
I would like to see a detail of the intersection at Shields and Trilby added to the plans. Not only does it look
like it will be a difficult intersection to construct so additional information will be helpful, but I would like to
see where the cross slope transitions are and what the ride profile in each direction looks like.
On sheet 22/34, between stations 23+1 I and 30+40, it shows the pavement section of Trilby transitioning in
and then back out. I think I understand the reason for this is to phase the bike lane out, but I think it would
be better to keep the north edge of asphalt consistent and phase the bike lane out with striping. Future
widening of Trilby on the north side will be easier to construct if the existing asphalt is straight and does not
jog in and out. I also do not understand why the bike lane is being phased out where it is shown on the plans
rather than at the western construction limits.
10. I realize this may be answered in the traffic study, but why isn't a right turn lane for east bound Trilby into
the development at Wainwright Drive provided?
11. Does the traffic study show a need for a right turn lane for east bound Trilby onto south bound Shields? If it
does, and even if the turn lane is not constructed for some reason, shouldn't the ROW be dedicated now?
12. On sheet 29/34, I noted that the profiles do not seem to take the skew of the railroad tracks into account. I
would like to see the railroad tracks shown in the profile and the vertical curves adjusted if necessary.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the plans. I apologize if any of my comments have already
been discussed and resolved prior to my involvement with the review. If you have any comments or questions
about the comments or the redlines, please give me a call at 498-5724.

Rusty McDaniel

Dear Roger,
I'his letter is in response to the fax that was received on the proposed Trilby Road x-section on
February 9, 1998.
'I lie following are comments from the transportation coordination group on the proposed x-
section:
1) Make sure that the crown of the road is located at its ultimate location. It should not
be located based on this interim condition.
2) If there is a borrow ditch on the north side and it needs to be rebuilt casements will be
needed for this. Drainage and construction easements.
3)'fhe plan indicates no shoulder on the north edge of the road, but a 2 foot gravel
shoulder is needed bevond the pavcnrent before the slope begins. This area should
remain tairly flat, but sloping awaN from the road.
d)'hhe power pole location should be shown on any further x-section representation.
I have also attached a copy of the x-section with the comments on there for your reference. Tf

RE: Registry Ridge PUD, I" Filing
Dear Rusty,
Attached for your review is the latest set of 'Registry Ridge P.U.D. Off Site Arterial Street Improvements' for your
review and comment. Please return comments to Sheri Wamhoff at City of Fort Collins Engineering by March 17, 1999.
Also attached for your reference is a copy of the last set of comments that were received by the City on this project
dated September I, 1998.
The following is the City comment/ response to the comments made by the County in the above mentioned letter.
1) The County indicated that the plans showed two different dimensions for the pavement width. The width
from the centerline of the street to the pavement edge at station 16+00 on Shield Street should be 20 feet. It appears
this has been corrected.
2) The County commented that the typical cross sections for Shields Street adjacent to the site show a I I foot
travel lane and that the County requires a 12 foot travel lane. The interim sections (what this project is building) did
show 12 foot travel lanes; it was the future cross secticns that showed I I foot travel lanes. This was in accordance with
the Citys standard arterial cross section. By changing the section so that all lane widths are 12 feet, the future section
does not meet the arterial standards under which this project is being designed, which was the Citys old street standards.
But as the Citys arterial standards have changed since this project was submitted for review, and they may change again
by the time the road is widened to its ultimate width, and we do not know what the actual lane widths will be when the
road is widened to its ultimate cross section. It is therefore acceptable for all the travel lanes to be shown as 12 feet in
the future on these plans .
3) The culvert under Trilby Road has been redesigned. The design of this culvert will need to be reviewed to
determine if it is complete.
4) The County commented on the use of I I foot travel lanes and 5 foot bike lanes on Trilby Road adjacent to
the site. The City had also commented on this. The travel lanes need to be 12 feet and the bike lanes 6 feet in width.
�81 `�urth 6 IIe "I',cnur • I'J. Br,x • Pore i_-or Iin,, CC `o( _'1 0550 • ;117M 22I-<,605
S) The County asked about the timing of the installation of a signal at the intersection of Shields Street and
Trilby Road. The installation of a signal at Shields Street and Trilby Road will be done when the intersection meets signal
warrants. It is preferred to do this after the improvements to the intersection are in place as the signal poles would not
have to be moved again. But if the intersection meets warrants prior to the construction of improvements by this
project, as determined by the City Traffic Engineer, a signal may be put in place at that time.
5a) The County stated that they feel that there is a need for a center turn lane for Midway Drive, La Edna Lane
and the Greenhouse entrance. The need for a centerla.ne is not directly related to this development and therefore the
City can not require the development to construct those improvements. The developer is complying with the
requirements of the City code by constructing off -site road improvements north to Fossil Creek Drive (36 feet of
pavement, 2 - 12 foot travel lanes and 2 - 6 foot bicycle/shoulder lanes).
If the County desires to build a center turn lane in this area it could be possible to get those improvements done in
conjunction with this project. The County would need to work with the Developer to modify the plans and obtain the
easements necessary for such a widening. As the interim improvements are considered temporary they have not been
fully designed to meet City design criteria. Widening of the road to a 48 foot width may require the road to be designed
to meet City standards.
If the County wishes to pursue these improvements the City would need to be involved with the review and approval of
the plans.
6) The county questioned why the intersection of County Road 19 (Taft Hill) and County Road 34 (Trilby) was
not evaluated in the traffic study. The developer was not asked to evaluate the intersection of County Road 19 (Taft
Hill) and County Road 34 (Trilby) for the traffic impact study. It was felt that the traffic impact to this intersection by this
project would be minimal as the majority of traffic from this site would be going North, South, or East.
The question on the sanitary sewer should be addressed to the Fort Collins - Loveland Water District South Fort Collins
Sanitation District

Re: Registry Ridge Subdivision
Dear Ms. Wamhoff:
Development review staff and traffic services personnel from this office have reviewed the submitted Utility
Plans, and the Site Access Study for off -site street improvements for Registry Ridge and have the following
comments / questions:
Registry Ridge P.t1.D. Off -Site Arterial Street Improvements
I ) On sheet I I at station 16+00 the cross section indicates that the dimension to the edge of asphalt is
20 feet but the plan sheet shows that it is 18 feet. Which is correct??
2) On sheet 16 both of the typical sections show travel lane widths of I I feet. Larimer County requires
and builds a standard 12 foot travel lane.. The portion of County Road 17 that Latimer County
reconstructed a few years ago has 12 foot travel lanes. These sections should be reviewed.
3) On Sheet 30A, the details appear to indicate that there will be headwalls, toewalls, and wingwalls but
the detailed information for these items is nonexistent. This information needs to be included in the
plans.
4) On sheet 33 the striping plan indicates that the travel lanes will be 11 feet wide and the bike lanes
will be 5 feel wide. Both of these widths are unacceptable to Latimer County due to the volume and
speed on this road. The accepted standards should be required: 12 foot travel widths and 6 foot bike
lanes.
5) It is Latimer County's understanding that the signal light at Shields and Trilby is planned to be
installed in the year 2000. This office would like to see the signal light installed ahead of any
construction for this development. The Traffic Impact Study reinforces this by stating that the short
range peak hour traffic will warrant a signal. Further, we believe that the Traffic Impact Study used
1994 counts. The latest 1996 counts and a comparison to the 1994 counts are included in the table
on the next page.

5) 'file need for a left turn lane for north bound Shields (or continuous center turn lane) was questioned
at Midway Drive, La Eda lane, and at the Greenhouse entrance. All the previous mentioned streets
are on the west side of Shields, and at Scenic Drive on the east side of Shields. As these
improvements do not appear to be planned as a part of this development's off -site improvements,
this office would like to further discuss ways to possibly incorporate the improvements in this
construction.
6) The TIS also does not address the impact of this development on the intersection of County Road 19
and 34 ("Taft Hill and Trilby). More specifically, is a south bound left turn lane from County Road
19 to Trilby needed in the short range or long range?
Registry Ridge P.U.D. Off -Site Sanitary Sewer
I ) On sheet 2, at station 2+67.19 a new 15" PVC sanitary sewer main feeds into the manhole and then a
12" sanitary sewer main goes out. The question: In the future will the 12" sanitary sewer main be
replaced with a larger size pipe? If not, then the pipe sizing issue needs to be addressed in this
project.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this submittal. If you have questions about these comments or
would like additional County input, do not hesitate to phone me at 498-5701.

Re: Shields and Trilby Road Improvements C'� I �� ��
Gentlemen:
Thank you for meeting with Jan and Jim Gulley and myself on June 8, 1999 regarding
Gulley Greenhouse and their concerns as improvements are made to Shields and Trilby Road over
the next several months.
As background, Gulley Greenhouse has both a retail and a wholesale operation. The retail
operation accounts for about 40% of Gulley's total revenues and employs approximately 40
individuals. Generally, Gulley's profit margin on the sale of retail items is approximately 50%.
This 50% margin pays the salary of the 40 employees, pays part of the buildings, land and
equipment, pays part of the home office overhead and, hopefully, provides a profit to the Gulleys
as the owners.
70% of Gulley's retail customer base comes from Fort Collins and the remainder is from
Loveland and the surrounding area.
Sincerely,
Sheri Wamhoff
Civil Engineer I
cc: File
Matt Baker, S.I.D. Coordinator
Bud Curtis, Northern Engineering
Wick Campbell Bramer Ukasick & Trautwein, LLC
June 9, 1999
page 2
Prior to this meeting, the Gulleys had provided Gregg Seebohm with dates for
construction when the impact on Gulley's retail operation would be most minimal. These dates
were September 30 through November 15 and February I through March 15. Gregg Seebohm
has been receptive to the Gulleys' concerns.
The greatest impact on the Gulleys' retail business will occur if construction occurs
between April 1 and June 15. During this period of time, over 60% of Gulley's annual retail sales
occur. Christmas sales are important because the customer base at that time of the year is often
long-time Gulley customers who historically purchase poinsettias and other holiday items from
Gulley If the customer goes elsewhere for her (his) Christmas items, it makes it easier for the
customer to go elsewhere for the spring items.
Currently, Gulley is ordering plants and other items for next Spring. Gulley also obtains a
$500,000 bank loan during this period of time each year. The banker, Ed Wilkens at First
National Bank, has stated his concern about Gulley's operating loan for the year 2000 because of
the specter of this construction work and has also requested that the Gulleys receive written
assurances to mitigate the impact on their operations while this necessary project is completed.
As an overview, Gregg Seebohm stated that generally work was intended to be done in
several phases -- Phase I - sewer extension, Phase II - onsite development, Phase III - Shields
south of Trilby and Phase IV - Shields north of Trilby. With regard to Shields, the general plan is
to widen Shields from 12 feet per drive lane to 18 feet per drive lane - 6 feet of which will be
designated as a bike path. There is also work to be done on Trilby which apparently will precede
the work on Shields.
Gregg Seebohm emphasized the developer's legitimate concerns that in working with the
Gulleys and others *hat they are not penalized or forced to stop further development, if, for
reasons outside their control, street improvements cannot be completed in the time as set forth in
their agreement and plans with the City/County.
Cam McNair emphasized the City's requirement that street improvements be worked on
diligently and the necessity to bond. He also emphasized the need to coordinate well in advance
with the construction companies as the developer is using well -recognized but extremely busy
contractors.
The area in question is within the master plan and will require City/County review
coordination and cooperation.
Wick Campbell Bramer Ukasick & Trautwein, LLC
June 9, 1999
page 3
Both the City and the County emphasized that they would cooperate in their reviews and
that both City and County requirements are similar as to content both as to timing and technical
requirements.
Based on this background, the Gulleys laid out their concerns and desires:
1. That the work be done in a manner that allows the streets to be open at
least on weekends.
Gregg Seebolun and the City indicated that their were two times when Shields north or
south of Gulley Greenhouse would be closed.
To the north, there is a siphon that needs to be removed and replaced which involves a
ditch company. There is apparently not sufficient room to detour around this construction and
Shields will be closed for a two to four week period while this work is done. This work will most
likely have to be done when the ditch is not in use (i.e., winter time). There was some thought
that for part of this period that Shields might be opened temporarily over a weekend or two.
To the South, there is some work that needs to be done in cutting down the size of a hill.
I did not understand the length of closure for this construction. Again, there was discussion about
finding a way to allow Shields to be open during part of this period.
It was made clear that access to Gulley's Greenhouse would always be available at least
one direction.
2. That Gulley's prime retail sales times be protected from construction
activity.
Jan Gulley emphasized that women form a large percentage of Gulley's retail base and that
many women are unwilling to drive through construction zones if it can be avoided. Jan stated
that during the Clarenden Hills construction, Gulley's retail sales declined by as much as 70%
during that period.
Gregg emphasized his desire to work with the Gulleys in this regard but that weather
delays could hinder any construction schedule. Gregg suggested that the road closure work could
be separated from the remainder of the work, that the remainder of the work may be able to be
done with roads open for at least one way traffic and that the overlay work could be completed
separately from the remainder of the work on Shields if the City and County would agree. Gregg
also pointed out that it was unlikely that this work would be done in 1999 since it was already
June and necessary approvals, and scheduling with contractors remains to be done.
Wick Campbell Bramer Ukasick & Trautwein, LLC
June 9, 1999
page 4
Both the City and the County emphasized their concerns about leaving the road in a gravel
condition for anything more than a day or two but stated that they might consider allowing driving
on the road after the initial asphalt was laid for some period if necessary prior to requiring overlay
work to be completed. Both emphasized that their preference was that work start and be
diligently completed as this is required by statute or ordinance. They also indicated that timing
problems may be more a function of the contractor's work schedule than anything else because
the developer's proposed contractors are it,. dernand and have work scheduled several months in
advance. They suggested that the developer line up the contractors time as soon as possible.
In this regard, the Gulleys suggested that if the work other than the fill and siphon work
could not be done in the Spring window that it would be best from Gulley's standpoint for the
work to be done continuously after June 15, 2000.
One concern from the developer is that the City only allows building permits for 25% of
the first phase of the development to be provided before all street improvements must be done.
Thus, a work stoppage/delay on Shields could delay and reduce the developer's revenue from sale
of homes. The City indicated that it might be able to provide some leeway if work has proceeded
diligently and delays were for reasons outside the developer's control.
If work must be done continuously and it cannot be completed prior to April 1, 2000, in
any final agreement between Gulley and the contractor/developer, Gulley would request that there
be a liquidated damage clause providing for payment of $3,500 per day between April 1 and April
30 and for $7,000 per day from May 1 through June 15. Again, Gulley would prefer an
agreement that simply would not allow work to take place between April 1 and June 15, 2000. It
would be most helpful if most of the work (except the siphon and leveling) be done after June 15,
2000 and that the roads be open and not under construction during Gulley Greenhouse's critical
season. Any help that the City/County can provide to the developer to enable the developer to
continue to build residences during this period even if delayed because of this problem would be
appreciated.
3. That sufficient signage be provided during periods of construction to help
customers of Gulley to be aware of the alternate routes to Gulley's and as
to the area under construction.
This did not appear to be a problem with either the City, the County or the developer.
4. That Gulley Greenhouse be provided with sufficient notice of the initial
plans and substantial changes in plans .
Wick Campbell Bramer Ukasick & Trautwein, LLC
June 9, 1999
page 5
Gulley Greenhouse needs 60 days to respond to any changes in conditions. Gulley
Greenhouse is well aware that in large protects, timetables sometimes slide. As much notice as
possible of material changes in plans that affects Shields or Trilby would help Gulley's mitigate
any problems that arise from the change in timing.
5. That an acceleration/deceleration lane be provided to allow traffic to
more safely turn into Gulley's property.
The developer and Gulley's have had discussions about this proposal. The developer has
been receptive to providing a turnout or acceleration/deceleration lane in some form. The City
and County have suggested that the developer provide its proposal as part of its plan to be
reviewed. Hopefully, this will be done as it will increase safety for motorists.
6. That an enforceable written agreement be entered into between Gulley
and the appropriate party/parties.
Gulley's is looking for an agreement and its banker wants assurances that Gulley will be
protected to reduce its risk in making its annual loan to Gulley Greenhouse. Gulley understands
that the appropriate party is either the developer or the general contractor for the street
improvements or both. The City and County have made it clear that they are not to be parties to
any agreement.
CONCLUSION
The Gulleys are aware that the development of Registry Ridge is complex and that the
developer and the City/County have other concerns besides Gulley Greenhouse. Gulley
Greenhouse is also aware that the street improvements will be beneficial to Gulley when
completed and that homeowners in Registry Ridge will find Gulley Greenhouse a convenient, and,
hopefully, an attractive place to come for their landscaping needs. Jan and Jim Gulley thank
everyone at the meeting for their listening, suggestions and cooperation. Gulley Greenhouse
looks forward to the cooperative completion of this project in a timely manner that benefits
everyone.
If I have misunderstood and/or misstated the statements made by any person in attendance
at the meeting, please advise immediately.

RE: Registry Ridge First Filing Final PUD
Request for Variance from Street Design Criteria
Dear Gary:
As has been discussed with City staff, the developer of
Registry Ridge, Dalco Land Liability Company ("Dalco"), is
requesting a variance from the City's Street Design Criteria (the
"Criteria"), approved in July 1986 and on file in the City's
engineering office. We have been authorized to state that LeAnn
Thieman ("Thieman"), who represents the interests of several of her
neighbors, joins in this request.
Section 1.02.01 of the Criteria permits a variance from its
regulations under certain circumstances.
"As with any design criteria, occasions may arise
where the minimum standards are either inappropriate or
cannot be justified economically. In these cases a
variance to these criteria Shall be considered. Written
request for each variance should be directed to the City
Engineer."
Dalco and Thieman request a variance from Section 1.02.05 of
the Criteria related to Street Lighting Standards. The request is
for a reduction of the required number and wattage of street lights
on Trilby Road, particularly west of Ranger Drive, and for a
reduction in the number of street lights adjacent to the large_ lots
on Forestel Drive and Wainright Drive in the northern portion of
Registry Ridge First Filing Final PUD. The basis for the request
is that it would be inappropriate to fully comply with City
lighting standards at the very edge of the Urban Growth Area, in an
area that is essentially surrounded by agricultural properties,
open lands and existing large -lot, rural development which has no
street lighting of any kind.
Mr. Gary Diede
March 27, 1997
Page 2
A variance from the street lighting criteria is justifiable
for the following reasons: it is simply inappropriate to require
full urban standards in a largely rural area. Street lights at the
required intervals and wattage would not help create the "soft
edge" the City desires nor would there be a gradual visual
transition from urban -type development to rural/open land.
Vehicles approaching the development from any direction will be
coming from unlit or dimly lit stretches of roadway; a drastic,
abrupt change in lighting may create a safety problem for drivers
who have difficulty making the adjustment, especially senior
citizens or visually impaired persons. Finally, full City lighting
would have a negative visual impact on the rural setting. Thieman
and her neighbors consider City street lights to be intrusive and
undesirable. These neighbors fully support and encourage the
granting of this street lighting variance.
If you have any questions, please call me. Thank you for your
continuing cooperation.
Sincerely,
& MYATT, P.C.

RE: Registry Ridge Preliminary
Response to City Comments
Dear Michael,
This letter is the second letter to your office in response to the comments
regarding issues received regarding the Registry Ridge ODP and
Preliminary PUD. This letter will address those issues which are
applicable to Northern Engineering Services, Inc (NF.S). All other issues
will be addressed by Jim Sell Design, Malt Delich, or Riverside
Technology, Inc.
NITS has reviewed comments regarding the onsite and offsite utilities
with Terry Ferrill from Fort Collins/Loveland Water and Sewer District.
All of the comments and concerns that the District expressed with the
preliminary submittal can be addressed at the time of final design. The
off -site sewer is currently heing prepared and will he submitted to the
District as a separate project. Northern Engineering has also developed
'Inc] reviewed a Ilych aulic Master flan with Terry Ferrill per District
requirement (comment 8, Overall Development Plan).
A copy of the letter from Elaine Spencer at Larimer County concerning
'traffic issues has been forwarded to Matt Delich. Matt will be responding
to Elaine's concerns. NFS is currently working on the arterial designs of
South Shields Street and Trilby Road. These arterial roadway plans will
be submitted to the City as a separate project, and at that time the plans
will also be submitted to Larimer County for their review and approval.
NES mct with City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility to review their
comments, and to determine the extent of our resuburittal package.
Stormwater indicated that they would like us to resubmit our Preliminary
Drainage and Frosion Control Study, as this will serve as a Master Plan
forthe Registry Ridge ODP. NES is revising this study per City
continents.
We also discussed with Kerrie Ashbeck the extent of the revisions to be
resubmitted. She indicated that the revised site plans from .lim Sell
would address the majority of Engincerings' concerns. She said that we
will not need to resubmit a revised copy of the Preliminary Plat, or
revised Preliminary Utility plans, other than those required to be
resubmitted by Stormwater. Kerrie also indicated that a meeting should
he set up with City Engineering regarding the proposed street rotaries.
These meetings arc being coordinated by Jim Sell Design. Other than
that, all engineering issues can be addressed at time of Final Design.
In particular, 1 would Like to address the following specific issues per
previous City comment and your Ietter dated July 17, 1995:
Comment 4d., ODP - "fhe developer understands that these wetlands
cannot be negatively affected. Neither the proposed road or the
fire access road will be located in the wetlands area, and at time of
final design a hydrogeologic study will be prepared concerning
these roads and to the sources of the wetlands hydrology, whether
it is fed from above or underground (or both) sources.
Comment 6a & 6c, ODP - If and when the park site is finalized, any
drainage channel can be relocated on site to coordinate with any
future park development. The design NES chose was one which
utilized the existing drainage conveyance element. Per discussions
Witt] Storiwater Utility, rerouting this existing drainage channel
will not be a problem.
Comment 8, ODP - This has been prepared, and has been reviewed
with the District.
Comment 1 and 2 a-e, Preliminary PUD - The developer agrees to
the additional easements required by Columbine Cablevision and
US West, and these will be incorporated into the Final plats for
Registry Ridge.
Comment 3, Preliminary PUD - This legal description will be added
to the Site plan, submitted by Jim Sell Design. The preliminary plat
is not being resubmitted, per Kerrie Ashbeck.
Comment 4b, Preliminary PUD - Per conversations with the District,
and per the preliminary hydraulic master plan developed for the
District, these Fire flow requirements can be complied with.
Comment 12a, Preliminary PUD - City Stormwater policy (per Glen
Schlueter) is that if the quality, quantity, or peak flows are
changed, downstream offsite casements wilt be required to the
receiving named drainageway. In regard to Registry Ridge, this
would be applicable to flows that cross Trilby in the northwest
corner of the project, and flow to Smith Creek. Glen has said the
developer has two options; one is to obtain offsite easements, the
other is to provide onsite detention and retention (this eliminates
any changes to downstream runoff conditions). NES, as a part of
the Preliminary drainage report resubmittal, is incorporating the
latter alternative of a detention and retention system.
Comment 121), Preliminary PUD — The developer agrees and
encourages cooperation and coordination with the Natural
Resources Department, especially in regards to the Wetlands areas,
transition areas, and water quality.
Please call if you have any questions regarding this letter, or any
questions pertinent to the Registry Ridge Preliminary submittal.
