Katie -
I met with Len Hilderbrand this morning on both Front Range Baptist Church
(FRBC) and Harmony Oaks. Xcel owns the OHP lines on the north side of
Harmony Road (Harmony Oaks site) and the OHP line along the west side of
FRBC. Len did not see a problem with either of the proposed utility
easements along Harmony Road.
Xcel has training on Wednesday June 1 st at 1 pm and will not be able to
attend the Utility Coordination meeting.
Harmony Oaks
The OHP line along the Harmony Oaks property can be buried if necessary.
The proposed annexation of Fairway Estates will be the determining factor.
Currently, this OHP line serves Fairway Estates and the other county land
north of Harmony Road. According to Len, once the property is annexed, the
lines will be 'purchased' by the CoFC. The CoFC will then have a say in
whether these lines are buried or not. The OHP line at Harmony Oaks is not
located along the proposed utility easement. It is my opinion that this
line could remain as OHP until the City chooses to bury it after it is
purchased. The OHP line in front of Harmony Oaks is merely a short segment
of a very long OHP line that runs east and west of the project site. The
OHP line continues west from the Harmony Oaks site to serve development
south (Fairway Estates) and north to the homes along Stover Drive.
It is our hope that the OHP line can remain above ground until the City
annexes and purchases this line. The line will then need to be either
buried or removed. There is the possibility that future annexed land will
be served from the west and not from the east. We will try to meet with
City Light and Power prior to our Utility Coordination meeting.
Lastly - According to Len, Jim Dewilde is the project manager for this
section of Fort Collins and not Stephanie Rich. I copied your Utility
Coordination request to both Jim Dewilde and Len Hilderbrand at Xcel.
Thanks.
