Home My WebLink AboutFORT COLLINS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2008-02-21Comm ty Planning and Environmental Current Planning Citv of Fort Collins July 18, 2003 Mr. Joe Simpson Alpine Dental P.O. Box 412 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Comfort Dental P.D.P. - Sidewalk Dear Joe: rvices The purpose of this letter is to clarify the obligation to construct a public sidewalk along the south side of Harmony Road between the east property line of the Comfort Dental P.D.P. (Current Planning Project File #19-02) and Hogan Drive. This sidewalk would adjoin property owned by the Poudre Fire Authority and be considered a public sidewalk. This sidewalk would be 360 feet in length and seven feet in width and is considered to be an important pedestrian connection to serve the development of the Comfort Dental P.D.P. The cost of constructing this walk will be borne by the City of Fort Collins Street Oversizing Program and Poudre Fire Authority. The cost sharing arrangement is that .Poudre Fire Authority will contribute $4,500 for the "local share" of the sidewalk and the Street Oversizing Program will pay for the "oversized share" so that the walk meets the standard for a major arterial street. It is the City's desire to have the sidewalk constructed by the time the Alpine Dental Clinic receives a Certificate of Occupancy. If you have any further questions regarding the design, cost or construction of this sidewalk, please contact me at 221-6750.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 To whom it may concern I am writing this letter to inform you that NextMedia Outdoor, Inc. recently purchased property along Harmony Road east of South College Avenue (Lot 2, Replat of Part of Tract B, Fairway Estates Third Filing) on 8/27/07 formerly belonging to Joseph M. and Ingrid Y. Simpson. At the time of purchase we had an existing lease agreement in place for our sign located on the northeast comer of this property. Since purchasing this property we have become aware of a Deed of Dedication for Easement granted to the City of Fort Collins by the former owners Joseph M. and Ingrid Y. Simpson. This easement appears to occupy ground underneath our sign. This particular deed was executed on 7/11/07 prior to purchase of the property. In order for this deed to be valid per our lease, notification or cancellation would have been required. Further at the time of purchase the seller (Joseph M. and Ingrid Y. Simpson) warranted that there were no formal executed agreements or encumbrances jeopardizing the existence of our sign. In closing, we are amicable to working with all parties to clear up this matter. Please note we are open to allowing the sidewalk for the betterment of the city as long as it does not interfere with our sign. yours, Jamie Rideoutt Real Estate Manager NextMedia Outdoor, Inc. 2649 East Mulberry St., Unit A20• Fort Collinsr C060524•Phone; 970.493-44111 Fax;970493-4595•w .nextmediagroupom 4L X/ a'2- _OCT_10-2007 WED 03:19 PM Heath Construction FAX N0, 970 221 2907 P. 01 N Heath construction FACSIMILE COVER SHEET msrr�viftk-a Toe_....._..

Please be advised that the City has approved of the estimates indicated in the attachment with the added cost of $10,000 for the acquisition of an easement along the NextMedia property. These costs are broken down below: • $24.301.19 for Harmony Road widening abutting the project + $5,000.00 for sidewalk along the NextMedia property • $10,000.00 for the City's costs to acquire an access easement for the installation of the sidewalk along NextMedia property The total of the above referenced costs is $39,301.19. Please note that upon the City's receipt of $39,301.19 the sidewalk offsite your property is no longer required to be constructed by the first certificate of occupancy. Should you obtain the access easement along the NextMedia property and construct the sidewalk along said property, a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 will also be issued to you. This dollar amount is only required to serve as a fund available to the City in the event that the City assumes the sidewalk construction (and easement acquisition) responsibility along the NextMedia property as a result of you being unable to complete these items prior to the first certificate of occupancy on your site. Let me know of any thoughts or concerns regarding this Sincerely. Marc Tr Virata Civil Engineer 281 North College Avenue • P.O.

The check in the amount of $24,301.19 is intended to satisfy the developer's obligation towards certain Harmony Road improvements abutting the site, which is further explained in paragraph II.D.3 of the development agreement for the project. The check in the amount of $15,000 is intended to satisfy the developer's obligation towards certain sidewalk improvements along Harmony Road east of the site which is further explained in paragraphs II.D.4-5 of the development agreement. These specific portions of the development agreement are attached for reference. It is conceivable that the funds provided may be returned to the developer if certain improvements are constructed by the developer; however it is also as likely that the City or a third party would construct these certain improvements and then be reimbursed by these funds. Given the unique nature of this, let me know if I need to provide additional documentation, information, or any other questions or concerns you might have.

Summ,r Couniv Standard to be Varied: Per LCUASS (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards) Chapter 8, Section 8.2.6 and Figure 8-5, the design right -turn lane length is 435 ft, including a 200 ft bay taper, for a highway design speed of 50 mph. Civil Enn_ineerirg Proposed Alternate Design: St°'corral E),gigee,mg We are requesting approval of the standard's distance of 435 ft to be 420 ft for the right - Retail ArchitecWre turn lane design length including the 200 ft bay taper. Comparing to Standard: Our proposed right -turn lane length of 420 ft is slightly shorter than the standard length of 435 ft by 15 ft. Justification for the Variance: The Standards right -turn lane length of 435 ft is based on approaches to stop sign controlled and signaled intersections, allowing appropriate vehicle storage and deceleration lengths. The proposed right -turn lane into the Fort Collins Supportive Housing development is mid block, does not occur at a stop sign controlled or signaled intersection and vehicles will be able to enter the site without completely stopping. Additionally, Delich Associates, the traffic engineer for this Project, noted that while the 435 foot right -turn length would be standard for the 50 mph design speed for this location, at the actual posted speed of 45 mph, the 420 foot right -turn length would only require a 375 foot length. Delich Associates concluded that the current design of a 420 ft right -turn lane will function efficiently and will not be detrimental to the public health, welfare, and safety. The 420 foot length design also will not cause additional maintenance costs. We look forward to your response and approval of this proposed variance for the Fort Collins Supportive Housing.
