HomeMy WebLinkAboutREGENCY PARK PUD SECOND - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2008-05-29VARIANCE REQUEST FROM STREET DESIGN STANDARDS relating to REGENCY PARK P.U.D. SECOND FILING Fort Collins. Colorado November 1. 1989 The following variance from City of Fort Collins Design Standards relating to Streets, is requested on behalf of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of the Rockies, in conjunction with filing a development proposal with the City of Fort Collins, known as "Regency Park P.U.D. Second Filing". A variance is requested to allow the placement of a cul-de-sac (Zahn Court) which would intersect from the south side of a residential street (Hilburn Drive) less than 200 feet away from an existing intersection on the north side (Craig Drive). The actual offset distance proposed between centerlines of these intersections will be 160.18 feet: This is a variance to "Design Criteria and Standards for Streets" as published by the City of Fort Collins, July 1986, Section 1.02.03.e, page 8, which reads. "Streets intersecting on opposite sides of a residential or collector street shall be either directly across from each other or offset by at. least 200 feet between centerlines." Due to existing constraints, and the configuration of surrounding development, the location of Zahn Court as proposed, provides the only reasonable layout for single family lots in the easterly portion of this project. No particular problems would be created by this variance. There will be a maximum of six single family dwellings with access to Zahn Court, generating a minimal number of vehicle trips at the Zahn Court intersection. Furthermore, the relationship of Zahn Court and Craig Drive, is such that there are no conflicting left turn movements along Hilburn Drive between these intersections. There are no public health, safety, and/or welfare problems created by this variance. Respectfully Submitted; Matthew J. Delich Co. P.E.

You will find enclosed a copy of my letter to Mr. Platt of even date. The letter summarizes the result of my conversations with Mr. Platt. At this point, Mr. Platt's proposal is to simply sell us his land. He has clearly indicated his unwillingness to consider anything less. His present posture places me in a situation where clearly, I need to explore alternative remedies. To give you something of a historical perspective on our conversations with Craig, I will summarize briefly. In early December I contacted Craig to discuss the required easements. Craig explained that he was just leaving for California and would be gone until the 18th (of December). He said he would call upon his return. He did not call and I began to try his residence. I eventually succeeded in leaving a message on his recorder. Craig did call, by now it was early January, I explained our request and he indicated that he would like to meet with you to discuss the matter. Craig said he would call after his meeting with you. He did in fact arrange and meet with you, though I did not hear back from him. On the 24th of January, I phoned Craig and arranged a meeting for the 25th with Craig, Dwayne Walker, Don Frederick and myself. Don Frederick explained in detail the requested easements. Craig indicated that he would review with his partners and get back with us. The following week Ron Frank, representing Craig, called on me at my office. The purpose of his visit was to offer Craig's tract of land to Home Federal for purchase. I offered that such was not a practicable solution. I believe that Ron then met with you to discuss the situation. I contacted Mr. Frank and he indicated that Craig was prepared to offer the tract for sale, but not prepared to negotiate easements. %W M Mr. Mike Hertzig February 8, 1990 Page 2 This leads us to our present predicament and my most recent conversations with Craig. As I have communicated, Home Federal is prepared to seek a reasonable solution to the present situation. At present a negotiated acquisition of the required easements does not appear likely. We earnestly solicit your ideas to alternative solutions of the present situation. As noted in my letter to Craig, we would hope for a meeting of all effected parties two weeks from today, the 22nd. Please advise. Thank you. Cordially, C Sose�ph A. Zahn, Jr. Vice President M February 8, 1990 HOME FEDERAL Mr. Craig Platt 2828 Silverplume Fort Collins, CO 80524 RE: Acquisition of easements, Regency @ Harmony Dear Craig: Pursuant to my recent conversations with you and your agent, Ron Frank, regarding drainage and right-of-way easements on your property at the above captioned address. Over the course of the last two months we have had a series of conver- sations regarding Home Federal's need to acquire drainage and right-of-way easements across your property in order to proceed with the development of 16 single family sites just west of your property. As you know, the two specific easements are 1) A temporary drainage easement along the western boundary of your property and 2) A right-of-way easement along the southern boundary of your property to allow for sloping away from a "to be constructed" section of roadway. At our meeting of 1-25-90, we met with Dwayne Walker and Don Frederick. Mr. Frederick explained in detail to you the scope and detail of the proposed easements. At that time Mr. Frederick provided for your benefit his drawings of the improvements proposed easements. As I have communicated, Home Federal is prepared to negotiate the acquisition of these easements and to pay a reasonable amount for their acquisition. In my phone call to you of today, I reiterated this fact so that I could be sure that this had been clearly communicated to you. During our conversation today, you affirmed your present desire to sell the land to Home Federal and that any alternative less than this was not acceptable to you or your partners. c218 As I have communicated to yourself and Mr. Frank, the purchase of your land in Fort Collins, order to acquire the needed easements is not a financially viable alternative Colorado 80522 relative to the development of our 16 single family sites.

The area encompasses an area of approximately 120 ft. X 20 ft. at the location where Hilburn Dr. temporarily dead ends into the vacant land to the west of Regency II. This area will be graded back from the street at a 4 to 1 slope as shown to help prevent further washing of the soil onto Hilburn Drive. All costs associated with this grading as depicted will be borne by Home Federal Savings at the time of the site development of Regency II. Agreed to this 30th of May, 1990.

Dear Mike; Enclosed please find a bl.uel.ine copy of sheet 3 of 9 of the Regency Park P.U.D. Second Filing plans. This sheet includes the street plan and profile: for the westerly end of Hilburn Drive. This, plan has been revised to raise the proposed ,grades at the west, end of Hilburn Drive to lessen the cut necessary along the north side of Hilburn Drive, are it .affects the existing residence in this area. Our plan includes a maximum difference of 1.0 fret, between the north and south curb flowlinns; minimum and maximum pavement cross -slopes of 2% and A respectively; and no detrimental affects to the existing fire hydrant on the south side of Hilburn Drive near it's west, end. This design does require the removal of approximately 23 L.F. of existing curb -walk on the south side of Hilburn Drive. it should be noted that this design will not, totally eliminate regrading outside of the right-of-way, but will reduce the amount of regrading required. Mike, we feel this is the best :available solution to the grading problem in this area. Please review these revisions and let us know if you are in agreement with them. Upon your verbal approval, we will be glad to submit the original mylar to .you for your signature. Please call with any questions or comments you may have. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this revision. Si/n�rely, ?�spy" Don Frederick enc: cc: Dwayne Walker, Home Federal Savings and Loan FREDERICK LAND%WJRVEYING 1528 N.

Dear Mike; On behalf of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association, the owner of the proposed Subdivision, I am requesting the City's approval to allow us to eliminate the existing Temporary Cul-de-Sac at the West end of existing Hilburn Drive at this time. The subject Cul-de-Sac was constructed with the initial improvements for Belair P.U.D.. At that time, the layout for this entire area called for Multi -Family development. Craig Drive was to be the westerly most intersection along Hilburn Drive in this development. Since that time, the area north of Hilburn Drive was replatted into single family lots, and Hilburn Court was added near the west end of Hilburn Drive. At this time, our proposal calls for the replatting of the area south of Hilburn Drive into single family lots, with an additional cul-de-sac to be platted on the south side of Hilburn Drive, near it's west end, I have enclosed a copy of our current replat proposal for you reference. With the addition of the north and south cul-de-sacs near the west end of Hilburn Drive, we propose that the need for the temporary cul-de-sac has been eliminated. Please let us know the City's position on this so we can deal with it accordingly in our construction plan set. Your prompt response to this request will be appreciated.
