CO 80524 Fax: 970-221-6378 Re: Right -of -Way Vacation/ Cambridge Avenue Easement Dedication Mark: This letter is a follow-up to our February 6, 2004 meeting and February 12 phone conversation regarding the vacation of a portion of the casement along Cambridge Avenue. On behalf of Imago Enterprises, Inc., BHA Designs is in the process of preparing an amendment to the Harmony Technology Park O.D.P. to include in the O.D.P. the three (3) properties owned by Imago Enterprises at the south end of Cambridge Avenue. The addresses are 4800, 4804 and 4909 Cambridge Avenue. These three currently residential tracts, plus 4708 Cambridge Avenue, comprise the property of the City -initiated enclave annexation scheduled for the Citv Council approval in March. 2004. As you know, the right-of-way dedication is in place and the final engineering is approved for the new alignment of Cambridge Avenue (to be renamed) from Harmony Road to Rock Creek Drive. In that the Imago three (3) properties will be added to the adjoining approximately 65 acres owned by Imago and part of the Harmony Technology Park O.D.P., it makes sense to include the to -be -abandoned 30 ft. right-of-way on the west side of these three (3) properties as part of the amendment. It also make sense to include the right-of-way in front of the formerly two (2) tract south of 4808 Cambridge that is now part of the O.D.P. Attached is a Tract map showing all the initially -created residential tracts in the county along Cambridge Avenue. The area for vacation is indicated. The frontages are: 4900 Cambridge 1 acre (being annexed) 145.29 ft. 4804 Cambridge I acre (being annexed) 145.29 4808 Cambridge I acre (being annexed) 145.29 Former Tract 2 acre (part of O.D.P.) 290.55 726.42 ft All the vacated right-of-way adjoins or accesses Imago properties. In light of the Citv's requirement that all land area additions to existing O.D.P.'s must go the P&Z Board, were this to - be -abandoned right-of-way excluded from the current proposed O.D.P. amendment, an otherwise unnecessary amendment would be required in the future.

(Hwy 68) and Cambridge Ave. Dear Gloria: The developer's engineer for this project, J.R. Engineering has requested that the City of Fort Collins endorse their request to be relieved of the asphalt overlay requirement in connection with the striping revision at the rebuilt intersection. It is our understanding that CDOT requires a 2 inch overlay prior to apply revised striping on State highways. We are also told that CDOT may waive the overlay requirement if the State has a maintenance project scheduled within six months of the new striping application. The developer's request to be relieved of the overlay requirement in this case is acceptable to the City. We do, however, recommend that the developer be required to apply a pavement sealcoat in place of the overlay prior to application of the new striping plan. Given that the striping will be temporary pending maintenance, this should provide for adequate visibility. If you have any questions on the matter, please do not hesitate to contact Marc Virata at 970 221-6605 or me directly at 970-224-6015. Sincerely, Don Bachman, P.E.

A major design element of this Second Filing was the engineer ng for Cambridge Avenue from Harmony Road to Rock Creek Road. Hewlett- Packard did not proceed with the development of this project and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Separate from the planning and engineering review process for the Second Filing, Hewlett-Packard submitted to the City (for informational purposes) a copy of the June 25, 2001 Reciprocal Land Use and Improvement Reimbursement Agreement (the "Agreement") between Hewlett-Packard and other private property owners in the area. This agreement identifies offsite infrastructure improvements beneficial to the parties (i.e., water and sanitary sewer line extensions, storm sewer and streets), the cost sharing arrangement, and method by which a party to the Agreement can become the "constructing party" for any of these improvements. Most of these improvements have already been installed pursuant to the Agreement. Cambridge Avenue and the Harmony Road/ Cambridge Avenue intersection still need to be completed. Pursuant to its rights under the Agreement, Imago Enterprises, Inc., a party to the Agreement now wishes to improve Cambridge Avenue and the Harmony/ Cambridge Avenue intersection. Accordingly, Imago submitted to the City modified plans for the improvement of Cambridge Avenue. These plans would allow Cambridge Avenue to be constructed as a "stand alone" project, independent of any other improvements contained in the Second Filing. To the extent required by the City, Hewlett-Packard consents to the use of Second Filing engineering to produce a "stand alone" design for the improvement of Cambridge Avenue and the intersection. Imago Enterprises, Inc. is proceeding under the authority of the Agreement, arc Hewlett-Packard assumes no responsibility for these improvements other than those contained in the existing Agreement.

Mrlewski date: April 14, 2000 Ted, A number of staff members have requested a set of the concepts for the Harmony Technology Park that we reviewed with you this week We contacted HP to have permission to release the concept plans for your review. Since HP is a large employer in the City, there has been much curiosity and media coverage of the Greeley plant closing and the Harmony Technology Park site. Since we have not yet formally submitted plans to the City, and are looking at conceptual plans at this time, we do not want these plans to be widely distributed. But in the spirit of the Pilot Process, we want to share as much information with the City as possible to facilitate the review process. I've attached l lxl7 versions of the Concept Plans GA and G.2. Please feel free to call with any questions, and we look forward to working with you on the City Pilot Process for this project. Angie cc: < Mark Virata, EnQineerin�?

Hendee Transportation/CDOT Meeting Overview: We discussed issues relating to Cambridge Drive, Technology Parkway and Harmony Road access. - Cambridge Drive cross-section has been confirmed (see item 1.11 below) - CR9 classification will be modified to 4-lane arterial south to Rock Ck. Drive - CDOT recommends Cambridge Drive be signalized prior to Technology Parkway. Tech Pkwy would be signalized only when CR9 or Cambridge intersections fail. Recommend limitation of left turns out of Tech Pkwy (north and south of Harmony) until signal is in place. City will require connection of Tech Pkwy to south when Webster Property develops. Signalization and interim full turn access at Technology Parkway and Harmony Road are very important to HP and to the development of the proposed business park. Political aspects of the intersection signalization may also need to be addressed. - Signal progression analysis must be coordinated with Harmony Road access study. Use 100 second cycle length.

Attached you will find three cross sections that reflect our understanding of the modifications deemed acceptable to the City of Fort Collins. In addition, I have included a summary of items relating to the onsite streets. The HP design team is in the process of preparing Schematic Design level plans for submittal to the City on June 22, 2000 based on the following understanding. • Cambridge Road will be classified as a "Modified Collector". All design criteria for a standard Collector roadway shall be in effect with the exception of a wider parkway (I0-feet) and sidewalk (6-feet). • Cambridge Road may deflect a maximum of 10 degrees off of Harmony Road, in accordance with current City criteria, in order to accommodate the shifting of right-of-wav onto the HP property. • Raised landscaped medians may be used internally, even though they are not shown on the standard City street sections for these categories. Technology Parkway may be considered a "Modified Collector" due to the potential addition of said raised median. • Design lane tapers shall be based upon the ws2 /60 formula in lieu of a straight ratio. The design speed for Cambridge shall be 40 mph, not 35 mph, per your follow up phone message. • Access to the east off of Cambridge Road just south of Harmony Road shall be considered temporary in nature until such time as a roadway may be realigned with the proposed HTP access to the west. • Outfall curb and gutter around the raised medians will be acceptable as long as "Bubbler" irrigation is utilized rather that "spray" irrigation.

The City will modify their Master Streets Plan accordingly. Per my phone conversation with Mike Herzig, the two east -west cross streets proposed with Option G.2 are to be classified as "Modified Commercial Local". The modification relates to the elimination of on -street parking and the potential addition of a 6-foot median as shown on the attached section.

These include Chateau Development (developer of Morningside Village), Village Homes (developer of Observatory Village), and Imago Enterprises, Inc. that owns 70 acres on the east side of this portion of Cambridge Avenue, which property is part of the Harmony Technology Park Overall Development Plan. This one-half mile stretch of Cambridge Avenue has approved final engineering as part of the Hewlett-Packard's Harmony Technology Park O.D.P. Second Filing. Mike Brake with JR Engineering and I have met recently with City staff, including Cam McNair, Basil Hampton, Lave Stringer and Mark Verata to discuss reformatting the engineering for Cambridge Avenue into a stand alone improvement and completing the A -line and permitting process with CDOT. We have received comments that the City intends to rename Cambridge Avenue and that you are responsible for coordinating the renaming process. Having an agreed upon name for this important. roadway is important for the engineering revision and CDOT application processes. This letter serves as a formal request that you begin the process for determining a permanent, new name for Cambridge Avenue. I understand that this process will invo'dve meetings with the neighboring property owners and final approval from City Council. Therefore, we request that you begin as soon as possible. We greatly appreciate your efforts, and I look forward to hearing from you with a projected schedule and timeframe. Sincerely, Lester M. Kaplan Cc.

CO 8053, Harmony Technology Park PDP TEL B70 183.757 7 FAX 970 333-1827 Dear Ted: We have prepared this submittal package for the above referenced project on behalf of Hewlett-Packard (HP) for your review of the Schematic Design phase through the pilot program of the City. The submittal package contains the requisite information for this level of review by City staff. Attached to this letter are seven copies of the submittal, which include those items required in the PLC document. Our design team has prepared drawings to illustrate the site plan for the multiple buildings to be included in this PDP. In addition, we have also prepared conceptual designs for the parking, detention, utility services, grading and landscape, which provides the City with the major objectives for development of this site. We have also included a copy of the current updated master plan for the entire Harmony Technology Park for your information. As you know, the HP design team has met with the City staff on several occasions regarding this project. The Schematic Design kick-off meeting was held on 24 May 2000 and subsequent meetings have been held with City staff including transportation and engineering. We have also met with representatives of the Colorado Department of Transportation and have received their input on this project. Our goal is to meet with you and other City staff on 29 June 2000 at 3:00 PM MDT to receive feedback and approval to proceed into the Design Development phase of the PDP process. At this meeting, HP will provide direction as to the intent to continue with the pilot process or to proceed under the traditional City process for a PDP and FCP for the project site. As a part of this submittal, we have included our understanding of issues that have been discussed with City staff over the past several weeks. Several of those issues require an agreement from the City that our interpretation is correct and that we can rely upon the design direction we have shown for our continuation of work on this project. The first issue is that the design of Cambridge Avenue will be based upon the classification Mr. Ted Shepard 22 June 2000 Page 2 as a collector street. The design for this street cross section is modified to reflect the fact that 100% of the roadway dedication and utility easements are on HP land. Conceptual road cross -sections have been forwarded to City staff for review and are included in this submittal. The second issue is that this master plan for the Harmony Tech Park site is conceived as an arrangement of buildings in a campus setting. With this planning direction established early on with input from City staff, we have attempted to provide parking under the newly adopted guidelines that allow for increases to the base parking ratio through incorporation of certain design features. We have attached to the submittal an example of a typical site plan for one building that illustrates the parking ratio of 4.5 per thousand square feet of building area based upon premiums earned through site arrangement of parking in relationship to the building front door and sides of the building. The master plan also includes no provision for parking on the street, which also provides a premium to the base parking ratio. We have proceeded with our design work regarding the above issues based upon our understanding of the intent of the code and in discussions with staff. Please advise if this approach is correct. It is our understanding that at the conclusion of this phase of design, the City will provide a written approval of the Schematic Design submittal and based upon this approval, the design team will proceed with Design Development for this project. Please let us know if this is a proper understanding of your process under the pilot project process. If you have any questions during your review of this submittal, feel free to call me with any questions. Sincerelv.

As we have been discussing, the developers on Observatory Village, Morningside Village an Imago Enterprises, Inc. are considering undertaking the improvement of Cambridge Avenue between Harmony Road and Rock Creek Drive. Our knowing that the signal is a city expense, as we had believed it would be, is critical to our decision to proceed, and we are relying upon Mr. Diede's assertion. Who would be the appropriate city staff for our engineers to meet with to discuss revising the existing construction drawings to a stand alone project and pursing A -line approval from CDOT? Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Lester M. Kaplan cc. Tom Iskiyan, Chateau Custom Homes Peter Benson. Village Homes Mike Brake, I.R.

Please note that staff reviewed your plans and the Planning Division mailed a request for comments to several public agencies and departments. This development proposal is subject to and shall comply with all requirements set forth in the City's Land Use Code (LUC), specifically: Articles 2. Administration (Development Review Procedures); Article 3. General Development Standards; Article 4. [Zoning] Districts; the Harmony Corridor Plan; and, the City of Fort Collins Development Manual. The City of Fort Collins, Land Use Code (LUC) requires that throughout all land use proceedings, the burden to comply with all applicable standards rest with the applicant. Staff, after reviewing materials submitted by the applicant, finds that revisions/re-design to the submitted plans dated revised June 12, 2000 are warranted to meet the Land Use Code, the Harmony Corridor Plan, and the City of Fort Collins Development Manual. The following lists the agencies and departments that responded: A. AT&T Digital; B. Warren Lake; C. Light & Power; D. Zoning; E. Advance Planning; F. Natural Resources; G. Water/Wastewater; H. Stormwater; I. Traffic Operations; J. Engineering: 1) ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE PLAN 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-61-50 • FAX (970) 416-2020 1 W VQO a) The Engineering Department cannot support the proposed access configuration along Rock Creek Drive and Cambridge Drive. Public access points need to be provided at 660-foot intervals. b) Refer to the Alternative Compliance Plan for more specific comments. 2) AMENDED ODP a) Please modify note number 1 on the Cover Sheet. b) Please modify the proposed access points as shown on sheet number 2. c) See ODP for additional comments and concerns K. Current Planning Department: 1) Section 2.2.11 of the Land Use Code requires that an applicant submit revisions based on this letter within 90 days or the project application becomes null and void. Your response to the City's concerns is due by October 17, 2000. A 30-day extension to this deadline is available. Request for an extension should be directed to the Current Planning Director. If remaining issues do not require plan revisions, a status report verifying continuing efforts toward resolving the issues is required within the same timeline. 2) As discussed with Angela Milewski on July 12, 2000, the location of all proposed and existing arterial, collector and connector streets and major pedestrian and bicycle routes, including major points of access need to be proposed and shown on the plan sets. 3) As discussed with Angela Milewski on July 12, 2000, we need to sit down and discuss the Alternative Compliance Request as submitted. The request to not comply with street connections to the east across the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch is compelling; however, the elimination of street access designations into that portion noted as Webster Property is not. In addition, in order to comply with 2.3.2(H) there is the need to provide additional street connectivity on the north boundary 660 feet east of Cinquefoil Lane. 4) In order to Comply with 2.3.2(H) connectivity standards need not reference private access points, but are to be more public in their connectivity designation on the Overall Development Plan. Subsequent project development plans, will most likely be mechanism in which potential access drives will be evaluated based on project parameters and conformance to more specific City standards. 5) The Cambridge Drive Access Detail notes that Cambridge Drive is dedicated with a seventy-six (76) foot street right-of-way and a nine (9) foot utility easement. It appears that the nine- (9) foot utility easement is on private property, are these property owners dedicating this easement? Please elaborate. 6) The legend needs to be revised to more clearly delineate property and overall development plans boundaries. 7) Note on sheet 2 of 4 references that the site will receive water and sewer services from the Fort Collins Loveland Water and Sanitation District, is this correct? 8) On May 26, 2000, the City Council approved a number of road changes within the City. Please note that County Road 36 is Kechter Road, County Road 9 is Ziegler Road and County Road 7 is now Strauss Cabin Road. 9) The plan needs to comply with all limitations imposed by the Land Use Code including Land Use Standards of LUC Division 4.21. Additional comments and the required number of revised plans may be forthcoming as the various departments including the Current Planning Department and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please provide a written response to each of the above comments with the submittal of plan revisions. In addition, a revised site development plan drawn to scale which is clearly dated and labeled shall be submitted to address the above. 2 V To facilitate the complete re -submittal of the application with supplemental materials and redlined plans, please have your project manager contact Ginger Dodge and/or Voneen Macklin of the Current Planning Department at 970.221.6750. Please contact me at 970.221.6750 and/or e-mail: rfuchs(x ci fort-collins co us if you should have any questions or concerns related to these comments. Sincerely, Ronald G.

STATE. CO. US"@FC1.GWIA, Kathleen R... Date: Thu, Aug 24, 2000 4:46 PM Subject: Re: Harmony Road The discussion today was to determine what would be required of the developers for circulation roads from the sites towards the west out to County Road 9. We decided a 36 foot width of Rock Bridge to County Rd. 9 with Westbrooke and or Brookefield Hp could build Tech Parkway south to Rock Bridge or their interior street south of Celestica out to County Rd. 9. If the Brookfield and/or westBrooke development choose to use Cinquefoil then it must be right in / right out and the developers must build it to CDOT access standards without waivers. Cambridge was left as you indicated. It will be the first signalized when it meets warrants. Marc and Mark will relay this information back to the developers consultants with hopes that they will have prepared information for a meeting with Tess and Staff on 9/21/00 at 1:15 in conference room A. Mark this on your calendar but it is tentative based upon the consultants ability to provide us information. >>> Kathleen Reavis 08/24 3:36 PM >>> I just learned that there was a meeting held today to discuss the access issues along Harmony Road as part of the Harmony Technology Project. I was surprised to have not been invited to this meeting since I have attended prior meetings on this project/issue as well as due to my role in updating the Harmony Road Access Control Plan. Dave and/or Tess, could you please let me know what the outcome of your meeting was? I'm concerned that it be consistent with what we have come up with so far on the Access Plan update, particularly the sequencing of the future signals at Technology Parkway vs. Cambridge. Which is to be installed first? I thought we were trying for the one at Cambridge first to at least get 1/2 mile spacing for a while before installing the signal at Tech Pkway. What was decided today? Please let me know and please let me know if there are future meetings on this project. Thanks. KR CC: Eric Bracke, Marc Virata, Mark McCallum, Susann... Marc Virata - TechnoloW Parkway page l From: Eric Bracke To: Gary Diede; John Fischbach; Ron Phillips Date: Mon, Oct 9, 2000 10:05 AM Subject: Technology Parkway Following our meeting of September 7th, I had agreed to write up the understanding between the City and HP regarding the signalization at the intersection of Technology Parkway and Harmony Road. the following is my understanding of the results of that meeting. If anyone has a different recollection of the outcome, please let me know. We are still attempting to set up a meeting with CDOT to let them know our desires on this issue. 1. The City will "push" for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Technology Parkway and Harmony Road with the first phase of HP's new development. It is likely that the peak warrant warrant will be satisfied to justify the traffic signal. 2. HP will not be required to extend Technology Parkway southward to the future Rock Creek at this time. Also. HP will not be required to provide an east -west connection to Ziegler Road. 3. HP will be required to build a public collector between Technology Parkway and Cambridge. 4. For safety reasons, in the short term, Cambridge will become a 3/4 movement intersection. The movement will allow for eastbound and westbound left turns into Cambridge and the older HP site, respectively. 5. Willowbrooke will be required to extend Cambridge to Harmony and Rock Creek to Ziegler Road. 6. All improvements to Harmony Road, as agreed upon with Celestica will be completed with the connection of Technology Parkway to Harmony Road. Kind Regards, Eric L.

Transportation Services t ngineering Department City of Fort Collins November 6, 2000 Michael Bello Hewlett Packard Company 3404 East Harmony Road Fort Collins, CO 80528-9599 Lester Kaplan 1060 Sailors Reef Fort Collins, CO 80525 Brad Bennett Chateau Development Company 8101 E. Prentice Avenue, Suite 815 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 SUBJECT: Street Improvements for the Hewlett Packard, Brookfield, & Willow Brook Project Development Plans Gentlemen: This letter is intended to clarify the City's position on traffic and connectivity related issues regarding the Hewlett-Packard and Brookfield project development plans within the Harmony Technology overall development plan and the Willow Brook project development plan within the Willow Brook overall development plan. The primary confusion for these projects is defining their individual impacts as project development plans in the context that each will contribute to the street network within the same mile section. Therefore, this letter will be formatted to focus on the requirements that dictate certain street improvements for each project development plan. Please note that CDOT approval is needed for many of the items that the City supports below and that certain aspects of design have not been thoroughly explored with this letter. Concerning the latter issue, the City is meeting with CDOT on November 22, 2000 to discuss these issues with the intent of a coordinated response. The street design issues should be discussed in more detail with the project engineer for each project development plan. Hewlett-Packard: ♦ The City is supportive of a traffic signal at the intersection of Technology Parkway and Harmony Road with the first phase of Hewlett-Packard's new development. ♦ As a part of phase 1, the City will not require that Technology Parkway be extended southward to Rock Creek Drive. In addition, the City will not require an east -west connection from Technology Parkway to Ziegler Road. However, Technology Parkway will need to be extended to the east -west connection mentioned below. 'KI V,� th t,' PC'.Rov�riU Fort i_nlilnti.l_ll,il)5'-thHU(9^Il)'21-bfi0j•FAX (y?0)__'1-b7R w�%�% J.tnrt-a�ilin=.a�.us November 6, 2000 ♦ The City will require that an east -west street connection be constructed between Technology Parkway and Cambridge Drive. ♦ The City will require that Cambridge Drive adjacent to Hewlett-Packard's new development be constructed for safety reasons with a % movement intersection at Harmony Road. The movement will allow for eastbound and westbound left turns into Cambridge Drive and the older Hewlett-Packard site, respectively. However, left -out movements will be restricted on both sides of Harmony. In addition, Cambridge Drive will have to be fully constructed adjacent to Hewlett-Packard site. ♦ All improvements to Harmony Road, as agreed upon with Celestica will be completed with the connection of Technology Parkway to Harmony Road. Brookfield: ♦ The main issue with Brookfield has always been providing at least two points of access from the existing public street network with one of the connections providing an adequate improvement to the city's Improved Arterial Street Network, as described in Section 3.3.2(F) of the Land Use Code. As one connection, the City will require the connection of Rock Creek Drive from the site to Ziegler Road. The basis for this decision is primarily in the interest of providing adequate allocation of traffic to the full arterial network with the emphasis of not over burdening Harmony Road. In addition to that connection, the City will support the connection of Cambridge Drive from the site to Harmony Road. Ultimately, CDOT will have the final authority regarding the connection of Cambridge Drive to Harmony Road. With the connection of Cambridge Road to Harmony Road, the City will require that the intersection be constructed for safety reasons with a % movement intersection. The City would be receptive to other connections provided that Rock Creek Drive is one of the connections. One alternative has been Cinquefoil Lane. The City would support the connection of Cinquefoil Lane to Harmony Road if Rock Creek Drive and Cambridge Drive were constructed first to Ziegler Road and Harmony Road, respectively. In addition, the City agrees with CDOT that no waivers be granted for the connection of Cinquefoil Lane at Harmony Road. This would mean full construction of acceleration and deceleration lanes and any other related improvements, including the correction of the sight distance problem at the Cinquefoil Lane/ Harmony Road intersection. Willow Brook: ♦ The main issue with Willow Brook has always been providing at least two points of access from the public street network with one of the connections providing an adequate improvement to the city's Improved Arterial Street Network, as described in Section 3.3.2(F) of the Land Use Code. The difference between this project and Brookfield is that it has frontage on Kecther Road. Therefore, the improvements necessary depend on the phasing for this project. If the development begins construction on the north property line as was discussed in the Willow Brook ODP Planning and Zoning Board meeting on September 21, 2000, the City will require the connection of Rock Creek Drive to Ziegler Road to meet Section 3.3.2(F) of the Land Use Code. The basis for this decision is primarily in the interest of providing adequate allocation of traffic to the full arterial network with the emphasis of not over burdening Harmony Road. The second point of access could either be provided through the development or with the construction of Cambridge Road. November 6, 2000 If this development begins construction adjacent to Kechter Road, then it will have to construct Kechter Road to Ziegler Road to meet Section 3.3.2(F) of the Land Use Code. In addition, the two points of access to the development could be satisfied with an adequate phasing plan. However, at some point, as this project develops to the north, Rock Creek Drive will have to be constructed from the development's eastern property line to Ziegler Road to distribute the traffic impacts generated from this development to the arterial network. I hope this letter clarifies the City's position on traffic and connectivity related issues regarding the Hewlett-Packard, Brookfield, and Willow Brook project development plans. If there are questions, please direct them through the City's Development Review Engineer assigned to your respective project. Respectfully, Gary Diede TOPS Director City of Fort Collins cc: Transportation Coordination Staff file From: <JTufte@JREngineering.com> To: TS.ENG_NET(MVIRATA) Date: Tue, Dec 12, 2000 12:14 PM Subject: Harmony Tech Park - Harmony Road Design Marc: I met with Eric Bracke this morning along with Bob Almirall to discuss what we currently have proposed for Harmony Road improvements between Technology Parkway and Cinquefoil. Eric was fine with our ultimate design horizontal layout. When I asked him what we need for vertical he said he would not require anything for the Ultimate design. He did suggest that I discuss the vertical aspects of the ultimate design with you. I would propose that our Ultimate design does not include vertical design but is rather a horizontal design only. Our design is for the acceleration of vehicles exiting Cambridge and is not for the vehicles exiting or entering Cinquefoil. I would suggest that vertical design is completed for the Ultimate layout of Harmony Road from Cambridge to the Interstate when the intersection of Harmony Road and Cinquefoil will be constructed and designed with its respective project. Our project will do an interim design of Harmony Road which will address the vertical between Technology Parkway and Cinquefoil. However, it is for the interim only and not for the Ultimate. After you have had some time to think about our proposition regarding the vertical design of the Ultimate layout of Harmony Road please feel free to call me at your convenience. I would be more than happy to come to your office to discuss this with you and show you what I have for the proposed layout. Thanks for your help Marc. John E. Tufte, P.E.

Kaplan 140 Palmer Drive Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 J R ENGINEERING Reference: Harmony Technology Park, Fort Collins — Storm Drain and Sanitary Sewer Main Extension Easement — Letter of Inteat Dear Mr. Kaplan: This letter is from JR Engineering on behalf of Hewlett Packard, Fort Collins, for the purpose of retaining the right to create easements across your property. The easements are for the installation of storm drain and sanitary sewer. The storm drain will be extended from the Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch (FCRID) to a connection point at the future intersection of Rock Creek Drive and Cambridge Avenue. The sanitary sewer will connect to the north end of the Willow Brook development (south boundary of your property) and extend to a connection point at the future intersection of Rock Creek Drive and Cambridge Avenue. Currently the storm drain and the sanitary sewer main are being designed as part of the Willow Brook development and are planned to be entirely within the City of Fort Collins public right-of-way. This letter assures the City of Fort Collins that if the development of Harmony Technology Park precedes the development of the Willow Brook project, you intend to grant easements for storm drain and sanitary sewer service across your property. This assumes, as mentioned, that Harmony Technology Park will require approval prior to the creation of the public right-of-way and the construction of the sanitary sewer and that the Harmony Technology Park Amended O.D.P., as approved by the Forc Collins Planning and Zoning Board, is executed by all involved property owners. This letter is a requirement of the City and will be provided to them in our plan submittal prior to the Planning and Zoning Board meeting requesting approval in February. The Letter of Intent must be acceptable to the City before it will provide approval of the referenced project. In order to relieve you of having to write the Letter of Intent, we have written this letter for the required easements to provide storm drain and sanitary sewer service to Harmony Technology Park. If you agree with the content of this letter, please sign below. Upon receiving your signature, we will include this letter with our plan submittal to the City. Please be assured that this Letter of Intent means only that you intend to grant the easement to 2620 East Prospect Road, Suite 190, Fort Collins, CO 80525 970-491-9888 • Fax: 970-491-9984 • ww J,ngioeuingmm From: Gary Diede - GDWDFaa c o� v.com To: Lester.kaplan - Lester.kaplan n worldnet..attnet CC: - CMCNAIR(a)fcgov.com - DSTRINGER(Wcgov.com - ebracke afegov.com MBAKE a ov.com Mhillips@Lcyov.com Subject: Cambridge Drive Signal Date: April24, 2001 April 24, 2001 Dear Mr. Kaplan: Per our telephone conversation this morning, I want to confirm that the city of Fort Collins will be responsible for paying for the cost of design and installation of a new traffic signal light at the intersection of Cambridge Drive and Harmony Road.

Prospect Rd., Suite 190 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Re: Harmony Technology Park, Fort Collins - Easement Letter of Intent Dear Mr. Tufte: It is my understanding that you are preparing to submit a Preliminary Development Plan on behalf of Hewlett-Packard with regard to their development of a portion of the Harmony Technology Park. In connection therewith, you have requested that the Electric Equipment & Engineering Company Employee Profit Sharing Trust, as the owner of neighboring property, confirm its intention to negotiate for the dedication of certain easements serving the Hewlett-Packard property. The specific easements in question relate to storm drainage extending east from Cambridge Avenue to the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch, and sanitary sewer extending east from Cambridge Avenue to the approximate location of Cinquefoil Lane. Both easements would be located within the area of the proposed public right-of-way for Rock Creek Drive. It is my understanding that the easements will not be required to be in place until such time as Hewlett-Packard submits its Final Development Plan for their property. It is also my understanding that the granting of any easements will be at no cost to the Trust. It should be noted that both the Trust and Hewlett-Packard are parties to a Reciprocal Land Use and Improvements Reimbursement Agreement, which should be executed in the near future. That Agreement further sets forth the obligation of the Trust to provide the dedication of the Rock Creek Drive right-of-way, which would in turn incorporate the requested easements. In the event the development of the Harmony Technology Park precedes the dedication of the Rock Creek Drive right-of-way, this letter shall confirm our intention to continue negotiations for the dedication of the necessary easements prior to submittal of the Final Development Plan for the Hewlett- Packard property.

This letters of intent are only required if the developments to the east of this project have not been approved prior to this project. 2. We are requesting that radius style approaches be used for the approaches to buildings "A" and `B" and the east approach to buildings "D" and "F" and the west approach to buildings "C" and "F". You will note that all other approaches are standard flared drive approaches. 3. You will note that with this submittal there is considerable additional design work included within the Harmony Road and Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) plan set. Additional design has also been completed for the other streets within the development, such as street cross sections and more detailed profiles and utility plans. 2620 East Prospect Road, Suite 190, Fort Collins, CO 80525 970-491-9888 - Fax: 970-491-9984 • w Jrenginmringxom January 19, 2001 Mr. Marc Virata Page 2 of 4 4.

This connection will allow the residents along the east side of Cambridge Avenue to access Imagination drive and proceed to Technology in order to take advantage of the traffic signal at the intersection of Harmony Road and Technology Parkway. However, if the resident will continue to prefer to use the intersection of Harmony Road and the existing Cambridge Avenue, only a right turn, east bound, will be allowed. As Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) is constructed and put into service, temporary all weather access points will be created at the future roads entrances along the east side of Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue). This will be done in order to reduce the number of standard drive approaches along the major street. Regarding the sight distance concern, Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) is attempting to match existing ground as near as possible while meeting street design criteria. The drainage of the existing Cambridge Avenue is to the south and east. Therefore, the new street should not introduce any additional runoff to the existing road or lots. 5. You will notice that the proposed utility easement between the section line and the east property line of Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) on the previous submittal has been shown as additional right-of-way dedication on this submittal. The intention of this is not to create and narrow lot the width of the previously proposed easement and the length of Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) between the two future streets to the east of this development. This follows the direction of the first alternative in your comments to Mr. Steve Olt. 6. As can be seen on the interim design sheets for Harmony Road, a % movement has been included for the intersection of Harmony Road and Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue). As the intersection is signalized the median will be removed to allow full movements within the intersection. 7. You will note that pedestrian refuges have been added through out the development. The refuges match the minimum design standards as shown in detail 16-7 of the proposed Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. 8. Sign easements have been established for the two large signs located along the south side of Harmony road. The easements are depicted on the plat. The easements have been located outside of all other easements which parallel Harmony Road. 9. Handicap ramps have been added to the on -site development allowing pedestrian traffic to cross between medians. 10. You will notice in the phasing drawings for Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) that the turning movements for the northern most future street to the east have been addressed. The phasing drawing initially allows full movements at this intersection while the Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) and Harmony Road intersection is X:\3920000.all\3926500\CorrespndenceVohn E Tufte\Review Response Letter (Marc Virata)#Ldoc January 19, 2001 Mr. Marc Virata Page 3 of 4 restricted to'/4 movement. Upon signalization of the intersection, the intersection of Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue) and the future street to the east will be restricted to right in - right out only. You can also see from the phasing drawings that various striping and median schemes will not allow the prohibited movements. Plat: I. A public access easements has been added to the plat to encompass the sidewalk south and parallel to Harmony Road. In addition, a 15 feet wide utility easement has been added to plat south of Harmony Road in addition to other easements requested since the previous review. 2. The previous firelane access easement has been revised on this plat to be an emergency access easement and drainage and watermain easement where applicable. Utility Plan: 1. Additional detail has been added to on -site grading plans. In addition to spot elevations contours at a 1-foot contour interval have been added in order to reflect the drainage patterns. 2. Curve information has been added to street plan and profiles and median plan and profiles. 3. Intersection detailing has been included with this set of plans. The detailing is per D- 18 and D-19 of the Fort Collins standard details. 4. Curb style has been called out on the appropriate median, street and onsite grading sheets. Details of the various styles of curb are also included in the detail sheets for this plan set. 5. All medians are a minimum width of 7-feet with the exception of the temporary glue down median used to control the 3/4 movement at the intersection of Harmony Road and Melody Road (Cambridge Avenue). 6. A note has been added to the plan set specifying that the "areas between the lip of the gutter at drive approaches and the back of walk must be concrete (typ)". This note is a typical note shown on all street sheets. 7. The flowline profile of the portion of Technology Parkway that disappears was actually in the drawing. However, due to the poor quality of the reproductions, the flowline was not visible. 8. Stormdrain information has been included in this plan submittal. This information was missing in our previous submittal. X:A3920000.all\3926500ACorrespndenceAJohn 8 TaReAReview Response Letter (Marc Virata)#l.doc January 19, 2001 Mr. Marc Virata Page 4 of 4 9. The missing portions of sidewalk have been included in this plan submittal. 10. The width of the median gutter on Technology Parkway has been corrected to a width of 1-foot rather than the previous 2-feet. 11. After our last Pilot Process review meeting it was my understanding that Eric Brake said the enhanced walks were allowed. However, the City of Fort Collins would not maintain the walk and that it was the sole responsibility of the property owner. I hope this letter adequately addresses the comments that are relevant to the utility construction drawings for this project.

It is certainly not the norm for me to lose my cool in a meeting. This meeting was an exception, and for that apologize. In particular I would like to apologize to Marc Virata, and Matt Baker who happened to be sitting at the same end of the room together when I vented my frustration. We began discussions about this segment of Harmony roadway with CDOT and the City on June 5th of last year. It has now been under discussion for 8 months and, as of last week, we still have significant new issues surfacing. My frustration is in the cumbersome interface with CDOT, and the lack of ability to obtain clear direction, it is not with the quality of people. I understand the City has gone to great lengths to assist HP in trying to get solutions from CDOT. I have great respect for all that work with the City, and I hope you will agree, that BHA has always tried to represent both sides of issues as fairly as possible. We try to maintain integrity in all of our work, and we often support the City perspective in meetings with our clients. This project is very significant for the people of Fort Collins. Other communities are vying hard for base level employment jobs and will go to extraordinary efforts to attract companies such as HP (We recently witnessed the City of Greeley approve a project for Con Agra in 45 days, we saw Loveland approve an application for Con Agra in 30 days. We also witnessed Johnstown approving a development application for a desired new client in 60 days). If we were to lose HP it would represent a significant loss to Fort Collins. HP is a great benefit to the entire community. The jobs they create fuel much of the rest of our economy, and they contribute extensively to charitable organizations. I want to make sure we do all we can to ensure they continue their commitment to our City. When the challenges get too tough for corporations, they look elsewhere. I do not want this to happen. Again, my apologies. There were certainly no personal attacks intended on anyone's integrity or professionalism, only on the lack of ability to get to a solution. If this was so construed, it was not intended.

I have nothing but respect for the personal efforts that are routinely put forth by virtually every staff member I have encountered at the City of Fort Collins. Our frustration often comes from the conflicting messages we receive from the various departments and agencies, and the Pilot Process has provided a mechanism to move toward a true team approach. The only thing that caught me by surprise at the meeting was Marc's comment about having not known about the Harmony design until we submitted it. We had the meeting where Tess told us we could leave the crown, then Pete Graham told us we "absolutely" had to remove the crown. I then called Tess and she verified that the State wanted the crown removed. I was under the impression, and John Tufte has assured me that he personally told Marc what CDOT was requiring and that we were designing the section to remove the crown. In hindsight I should have asked John to send an e-mail to all concerned about the decision that was made, especially to Matt Baker. Dave, you'll have to take my word that we never thought we were blind -siding the City with this design. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you in more detail, but rest assured I find no usefulness in assigning blame as long as we are all working toward the same goal. :no01, -----Original Message ----- From: Dave Stringer [mailto:DSTRINGER@ci.fort-collins.co.us] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 1:08 PM To: bhendee@bhadesign.com; ralmirall@jrengineering.com Cc: cmcnair@ci.fort-collins.co.us; GBYRNE@ci.fort-collins.co.us; MBAKER@ci.fort-collins.co.us; TSHEPARD@ci.fort-collins.co.us Subject: Harmony Road Bruce and Bob, I got a voice mail from Pete Graham of CDOT yesterday telling me that he and Dave Martinez had talked and they want the ultimate section that your firm proposed at our meeting Thursday was what CDOT wanted to see constructed. I will call Pete on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday) and discuss this in further detail. Obviously, the City and State are going to have to come to some consensus as the City is not willing to pay for this improvement, maybe the State as some funds. If the State insists upon this design and they are not willing to participate or have the authority to require the improvement as a result of their approval then it's my opinion that the cost for construction will rest with HP. I'll let you know what comes of this just as soon as I can. On another issue. I want you to know that I did not appreciate your comments regarding the City's lack of responsiveness and cooperation regarding the Harmony Road issue. You both know II that this submittal was the first time we had seen anything regarding the Harmony design and it was less then desirable. In addition, it has been explained Marc Virata - RE: Harmon Road Pa a 3" from the beginning that CDOT, as with all project's, along Harmony, is involved in all designs. Be informed that if this attitude of placing blame on the City should occur in the future, I will not hesitate to pull you aside and say what's on my mind. It's my opinion that what took place yesterday was unprofessional and was an attempt to save face in front of your client. I do not mind being brought into meetings to discuss issues that may be beyond the development engineer but, I will not tolerate the City staff being used as the whipping boy.

This letter will attempt to address all the comments in your letter and plan set redlines. I will respond to the questions or comments as they are listed in your letter. Responses General Comments: 1. To date there have been two meetings with the City of Fort Collins and CDOT representatives to discuss issues such as typical street cross section and Right-of-way. The City and CDOT both want the warped section, but the City does not want to pay for it. Hewlett Packard is looking at costs associated with the design and construction of the interim design. 2. Letters of intent are included with this submittal. The letters are from Poudre School District for the property to the south of Harmony Technology Park, Imago Enterprises, Inc. for the property to the east of Harmony Technology Park and from Hewlett Packard for the property outside of the plat boundary owned by Hewlett Packard. 3. Offsite easements will not be required for the acceleration lane on Harmony Road east of Cambridge. The improvements are within the existing R.O.W. 4. We asked for a variance from the City (in the last submittal) to use the radius style approaches to be used for the approaches to buildings "A" and "B" and the east 2620 East Prospect Road, Suite 190, Fart Collins, CO 80525 970-491-9888 • Fax: 970-491-9984 • w jrengineering.rom March 6, 2001 Mr. Marc Virata Page 2 of 4 5. approach to buildings "D" and "F" and the west approach to buildings "C" and "F" BHA Design is submitting the formal request for the approach style variance. 6. We did not address this comment because at this time the street name is undetermined. 7. We changed the street names to maintain consistency with the existing street names. 8. As explained in the previous submittal letter it is understood that the property owner will be responsible for any repairs that might occur on the enhanced crosswalks. Notes have been added to the architectural site plan. 9. This access and cul-de-sac will be built in conjunction with phase I. 10. In this submittal the phasing plan is more explicit. A portion of Harmony will be constructed east of Cambridge Avenue. In addition, there will be a meandering sidewalk along HP's property fronting Harmony Road. 11. We have addressed this and made the road width 36' in accordance with 3.3.2(F). This is shown as a phase I detail in the Harmony Road/Cambridge Avenue plan set. 12. These easements will be addressed by separate document. Utility Plan (onsite): 1. This was taken care of by re -grading several drive approaches. However, there were several other approaches that grading still must be completed to limit runoff flowing over the sidewalks. Alternatives such as sidewalk culverts and inlets will still be looked at to resolve this issue. 2. Harmony Road frontage grading has been included with this submittal. 3.

He has agreed to subsidize up to $97,000 for the traffic signal at Mulberry/Lemay for the new CDOT standard. Whew! On the down side, he also informed me that with the new redesign of Harmony Road with the HP project, CDOT will be expecting the new signal standard applied at Harmony and Technology Parkway. HP may want to know about the increased cost since they are paying for the entire signal.

In that submissions to CDOT regarding this project were apparently lost by CDOT and have been resubmitted, we would appreciate both your involvement in assuring that they are under review and your estimated timeframe for completion. The following is a summary of what has transpired. On May 20, 2004 a conference call to Tess Jones, your predecessor at CDOT, was initiated by David Simpson and Mark Verata with the City of Fort Collins, Michael Brake with J.R. Engineering, and myself to discuss the A -line and permitting process and the signalization approval process. Pursuant to that discussion, the applicant prepared the agreed -upon permit requests and an update to the traffic analysis completed in 2002 in connection with H-P's proposed development at the southwest comer of the intersection. J.R. Engineering submitted both the A -line and access permit applications to CDOT on June 28, 2004 to the attention of Bob Grube, Right of Way Manager. In that the applications did not involve an appraisal of real estate values, we expected an annroxi mate] v t'vee-month review time as Indicated by Tess Jones and confirmed b Bob Grube Oa October 14, 2004 Mr. Grube phoned Mr. Brake to mtorm film [Fiat by nad misplaced the applications but promised to complete his review of a resubmission by November 15, 2004. Mr. Brake mailed a second set of applications to Mr. Grebe on October 15, 2004. Towards the end of November 2004 Mr. Brake phoned Mr. Grube to check on the status of the application. Mr. Grube informed Mr. Brake that he was submitting the application for federal approval and that we could expect the completed application by the end of December 2004. We are now into the new year of 2005 and have not received the approved application. Could you please inform us to the status of the approved A -line application? Regarding the signalization approval process, the applicant hired traffic engineer Matt Delich to meet with the City and to prepare the required impact analysis update.

Mike Bellow and Bruce Hendee called me today. H-P is not inclined to pay for the southbound dual left -turn lanes, and may go directly to the City Manager over this issue. I asked them to hold off until later this week, since the costs of the improvements, and the actual features of the design, have yet to be determined. That is what we need to decide at the Thursday morning Trans. Coord. Cmte. meeting. Right now, the range of costs being discussed goes from $50,000 to $500,000. The H-P project team meets Wednesday, and Mike agreed to ask Steve Stiesmer and Will Arduino to hold off on calling John until at least Thursday afternoon. I promised to call Mike and Bruce at 12:30 Thursday with our decision on design features needed at that intersection. To help us with the decision, Bruce will send us a drawing showing the existing ROW and physical features there now, including the trees. We will use this to help with the decision -making Thursday. Gary, it would help for you to attend if you can in case we cannot reach consent or consensus on this. >>> Gary Diede 04/23 2:25 PM >>> Randy, this may need your attention with Kathleen. We need to keep the ROW to a minimum which will involve the bike lane and the street scape/sidewalk widths. Gary >>> Cam McNair 04/20 9:42 AM >>> For next week (April 26th), if you don't have it on the agenda already, we need to try to come to consensus or consent on the standards we will apply to the Ziegler/Harmony intersection, north side. With the southbound dual left -turn lanes that we are requiring H-P to build, the question of cost is driven by the design features we will require (i.e., medians, etc.).

There appears to be vertical conflict with the District's water line and the proposed storm drain line. Vertical elevations of the utilities need to be potholed and verified during the design phase of this project. The water line service to Hewlett Packard at the west entrance is not shown correctly. Water service is provided by the City of Fort Collins. District records do not indicate a water line located in the proposed Melody Road. The location of all existing District facilities shown on the drawings should be checked for accuracy. The pipe material for the District's existing facilities should be identified. The 3 inch pipe along the south side of Harmony Road is Asbestos Concrete. Protection of the facilities during construction over the pipe needs to be addressed. The District will require the relocation of the existing water lines where the fill over the pipe exceeds 7 feet (top of pipe to finished grade). Cambridge Avenue needs to be identified. The District's facilities are not shown at this intersection. There appears to be vertical conflict with the District's water line and the proposed storm drain line. The District's facilities are to be shown on the storm drain profiles. The District will require another review due to the nature of the above comments. 5150 Snead Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 Phone (970) 226-3104 Fax (970) 226-0186 Please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-3104, ext. 14, if you have any questions or require additional information.

The three outstanding items have been the location of right-of-way, the stormwater swale parallel to Harmony Road and the landscaping adjacent to the road. The first item, right-of-way location, was confirmed at our meeting on March 29, 2001. At that meeting it was agreed upon that the right-of-way dedication along the frontage of Harmony Technology Park, Second Filing would be 25.5 feet from the original right-of- way line. In other words, the new right-of-way would be 25.5 feet south of and parallel to the existing line. The second item, the stormwater swale, was also discussed during the meeting on March 29, 2001. It was decided that the flow line of the swale must be 3-feet below the south edge of asphalt. The west end of the Swale near Technology Parkway will not have a defined flow line due to the grading from the end of the curb and gutter. The 3-feet deep channel must be created within 100-feet to 200-feet from the end of the gutter at Technology Parkway in order to carry runoff to the site's detention pond. The ground slope between the flow line of the defined swale and edge of asphalt cannot be steeper than a 6:1 slope. The flow line of the swale must also have positive slope (1.0% minimum) to maintain drainage as a grassed swale. It was also agreed upon by CDOT that the runoff from Harmony Road will be allowed to enter the detention pond for this development rather than being collected by a separate drainage ditch controlled by CDOT.

In attendance were Bruce Hendee with bha Design and Frank Maple with the City of Fort Collins. The City believes the landscaping proposed for the frontage of Harmony Technology Park, Second Filing is acceptable. CDOT also agreed that the landscaping was acceptable provided trees remained outside the clear zone for the road. The clear zone is located 30 feet south of the outside stripe for the through lane. In the case of Harmony Technology Park, Second Filing, the clear zone is 8-feet from the south edge of the proposed edge of asphalt. The reason it is 8-feet is that there is an accel/decel lane 12-feet wide, a bike lane 8-feet wide (or 6-feet wide) and a shoulder 2-feet wide (or 4- feet wide). In summary I believe the issues highlighted by this letter have been resolved. At this point in time we have submitted plans for Harmony Road based on the decisions documented by this letter. We will also begin the A -Line process based on the new right- of-way location for this project. If you have any questions regarding this letter please call either Bob Almirall or me.

We would like to get a refund from the bonding company for that portion of the bond premium that is attributable to the storm sewer improvements. The bonding company has already agreed to refund $1,953.00. The construction cost of the storm sewer is $122,027.05, as shown on the attached "Project Quantities and Cost Estimate Sbeet". It is my understanding from your email dated 8/30/02, that the City will send a request to the bonding company to reduce the bond. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.

Manager Cc: Rita willaims a full -turn signal is already indicated in the City/ CDOT Access Control Plan, the traffic analysis update was intended to substantiate warrants for the signal installation concurrent with the improvement of Cambridge Avenue between Harmony Road and Rock Creek Drive. The City's Chief Traffic Engineer Eric Bracke was satisfied with the analysis and forwarded it along with a request for concurrence to Larry Hass with CDOT on November 1, 2004. On December 28, 2004 Mr. Delich was told by Mr. Bracke who was following -up with Mr. Hass on the City's Novemberl, 2004 request that this signalization information had been misplaced as well. Mr. Bracke re -mailed the request package to Mr. Hass on December 29, 2004. As you can appreciate, the scheduling for improvements to Cambridge Avenue and the intersection depend upon a timely, or at least a predicable review perivu, by C..OT..•C have made every effort to prepare and direct submissions to CDOT as directed by those at your office. Please recall that on November 11, 2004 you joined Mark Verata, Michael Brake and me at the City to discuss the submitted design drawings for Cambridge Avenue. At that meeting Mr. Brake and I expressed our frustrations with the permitting process. You seemed to commiserate with us, noting problems in the past, and offered to intervene with not only the permitting process but the signalization concurrence as well. I can only imagine the workload and weight of responsibility your office is experiencing, which have no doubt become even more challenging with Tests Jones' retirement. We greatly appreciate your assistance in expediting CDOT's review of these submissions and keeping us apprised of the timeframe for review completion. Thank you and best wishes for the New Year Sincerely, Lester M. Kaplan President Marx verata Matt Delich Michael Brake Hewlett-Packard Harmony Technology Park Modification Request The developers of the Harmony Technology Park project would like to request a modification to the Land Use Code in order to allow radius curb returns on the main visitor entrance drives into the site. Land Use Code section to be modified: The request would require modification to Section 3.6.2(L)(2)(e): `The connection ofa private drive with a public street shall be made with a driveway cut using a "New Driveway Approach " in accordance with city street standards. How would the proposal differ from the standard? The driveway approach referenced in this Land Use Code section affects driveway connections to public roads. The standard requires a `curb cut' type of driveway connection rather than a curb return with a radius. For the Harmony Technology Park site, the applicant requests use of a curb return radius on the primary visitor entrance drives into the building sites. The request is being made in order to differentiate the primary visitor access points from the secondary and service access drives in the business park. The secondary and service drives would maintain the `curb cut' approach as specified in the standard. Why can the standard not be met? There is no reason the standard cannot be met. The applicant is simply requesting an alternative driveway connection design. What problems may result from modification of the standard? There are no problems that would result from the use of the curb return radii. What health, safety or welfare problems would be created by the modification? There are no health, safety, or welfare problems that would be created by the use of a curb return radius. The radius requested would be a small radius (15'), so would not allow high speeds at the intersection. In addition, this is a modification request of the older `Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and other Public Ways'. The newly adopted Urban Area Street Standards would actually require these drives to have a 15' curb radius since they would be considered `High Volume Driveways'. A high -volume driveway is considered one that\ serves a minimum of 350 vehicle trips per day. Based on our traffic study, all of these 1 main visitor access drives will serve between 300 and 400 vehicle trips during the peak hours only. Therefore, the drives would certainly exceed the minimum of 350 vehicle trips per day under this new standard. February 10, 2005 Cam McNair, City Engineer City of Fort Collins 281 North College Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 FEB 1 4 200 J R ENGINEERING Re: Utility Plans for Cambridge Avenue and Harmony Road, Fort Collins, Colorado JR Engineering project number 39406.00 Dcar Cam: Thank you for your time to review the proposed Cambridge Avenue Road Improvements project in Fort Collins. Your input to the design of the Cambridge Ave. and Harmony Road intersection is critical in allowing for a timely construction schedule and cost efficient project. As we have discussed a common requirement for Highway improvements is to overlay the improved roadway to completely remove lane striping when lane re -striping is necessary due to redirection of traffic. This letter is provided to you requesting the overlay requirement be waived for the following reasons: l . On the westbound lanes the plan is to remove the existing shoulder striping and re -stripe the shoulder to allow for the addition of a bike lane. The minimal widening on the westbound lanes is to accommodate the proposed bike lane and no redirecting of the vehicular lanes is necessary. 2. On the eastbound lanes the plan is to add additional pavement to allow for a protected left turn movement into the Hewlett Packard campus and to allow for a 4- foot shoulder on the southern edge of the existing pavement. Additionally asphalt widening will occur to allow for a protected acceleration lane going eastbound from Cambridge Avenue. 3. As shown on sheets 32 and 33 of the Cambridge Avenue and Harmony Road Utility Plans the tire travel paths are contained within existing pavement theretore vehicle performance will not be impaired due to the widening of the existing pavement. 4. Typically a scar is left on the pavement from the grinding process that removes the existing lane striping. This scar can be mitigated by the application of a polymer asphalt sealant, which will create a consistent color to the asphalt surface. Additionally new lane striping will be applied within the entire area of construction within the Cambridge Avenue and Harmony Road intersection. As represented by this letter and the submitted Utility Plans for Cambridge Avenue and Hannony Road the developer (Les Kaplan of Imago Enterprises, Inc) proposes to 2620 IRoad, Suu, 190, Pun Collins, CO 80525 970 01 9888 • I 9-0-491 9984 • w,wp,np.... ing.mm complete all widening of the asphalt and all new striping as indicated on the plans. He is committed to completing all of this work during the construction season of 2005, but the anticipated cost this overlay could jeopardize his ability to fund the project. Again thanks for helping this project move forward and prior to making your decision please allow us to meet with you and Eric to further discuss this waiver request. Sincerely, i Michael Brake, PE.
