RE: Harmony Crossing P.U.D. Development Agreement _
Dear Mike:
As we discussed on the telephone, the amended Development Agreement requires
a certification that the five lots along "Timberline Road to which the Amendment relates
(lots 157, 169, 1807 181 and 192) have been graded to elevations and contoured in
accordance with the approved utility plans. To satisfy this requirement, attached for your
review is a letter from RBD to Tom Di Rito certifying the overlot grading as to all the
lots, together with a map showing the verifications for each lot.
1 am working with Matt Baker in engineering to coordinate the amount of security
that needs to be posted for the sidewalk improvements. Aside from finalizing the amount
and posting it, please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done prior to
obtaining building permits for these lots.
II' you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above
number, or Tom Di Rito 741-2275. Thank you for your help.

RE: Harmony Crossing/Development Agreement
Original Signed by The Richland Group
Dear Mike:
I met with Ken Waido on Monday in connection with the Overland Trail project, and I
had the original of the Harmony Crossing Development Agreement I faxed to you on May 6th in
illy briefcase, but I forgot to leave it with you. I thought it would be a good idea to get it in the
mail rather than waiting until I came up again. Would you please send me a copy signed by the
City when you can? Ifyou need additional signatures by Richland, please let me know.
Thanks for your help, and call if you have any questions or if you need anything further.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Jensen:
This letter approves the proposed full -depth asphalt design alternative for the local streets within
the Harmony Crossing Phase 2A development.
The proposed 2 inches of surface course and 3 inches of bituminous base course recommended by
Lester Litton of Earth Engineering meets the structural loading requirements set by the City of
Fort Collins. However, the City does prefer to see composite pavement sections of asphalt and
gravel base course (Class V or VI) used in local street design.
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call

RE: Harmony Crossing P.U.D. Development Agreement
Dear Matt:
One of the conditions contained in the Amendment to the Harmony Crossing
P.U.D. Development Agreement (attached) is that the Developer must escrow funds with
the City sufficient to guarantee completion of the sidewalk along Timberline Road
adjacent to lots 157, 169, 180, 181 and 192, prior to obtaining building permits. The
amount must be 150% of the City approved contract unit prices for the improvements.
Per our telephone conversation a couple of weeks ago, you indicated that the
escrow amount is $4,939.00 for all five lots. Accordingly, enclosed is a check in this
amount. It is our understanding that the funds will be held in escrow by the City pending
completion of the improvements.
Please let us know if anything further is required to obtain building permits on the
referenced lots. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the
above number, or Tom Di Rito 741-2275. Thank you for your help.

Dear Mike:
April 13, 1995
Regarding the Harmony CrO�Sing P,U.D. and our property on their south
boundary, we have had some communication with Bud Curtis of R.B.D.
relative sidewalk elevations. We have looked at the propertiea with
Bud and have consulted with our engineers - Ayers Engineering (R.C, E.).
Our engineers saw no problem with the elevation of their sidewalk and our
adjoining boulevard. Although our sidewalk and boulevard will be at
a lower elevation than Timberline Road, our engineers believe there will
not be a drainage problem since we have an adjacent 40' drainage swale.
Thanks very much for your consideration of our needs. We very much
appreciate your attention in this matter.

IZI Harmony Crossing P.U.D. Development Agreement
Dear Mike and Paul:
As 1 discussed with Paul on the telephone, Richland requests a modification of
Harmony Crossing P.U.D. Development Agreement concerning the installation of the
sidewalk along Timberline Road.
Paragraph I1(D)(5) of the Development Agreement (copy attached) provides that
no building permits shall be issued for lots 157, 158, 168, 169, 180, 181 and 192 until the
street improvements on Timberline Road have been completed with at least the
construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and said improvements have been approved by
the City.
F'nclosed is a copy of the Landscape Plan for Harmony Crossing. The lots along
Timberline Road referenced in the Development Agreement are highlighted in blue.
These lots actually front on interior streets, and Timberline Road faces the sides of these
lots. These lots will be separated from Timberline Road by a landscaped buffer (noted in
green), through which a meandering sidewalk will be constructed (as shown). Richland
also plans to construct a six foot fence along the east side of the subject lots, separating
these lots from the landscaped buffer, also as shown on the landscape Plan.
DEUTSCII. SPILLANE & REU fZEL, V.C.
Mr. Mike Herzig
W. Paul Eckman, Esq.

Richland is in the process of finishing the first phase of the lots, which we believe
will be completed by the middle of next month. The Timberline Cooperative .loint
Venture (of which Richland is a member) is completing the Timberline Road
improvements, including the sidewalk. The Joint Venture has indicated that because of
scheduling considerations, the sidewalk will not be installed until Spring.
We would like to amend the Development Agreement to provide that building
permits may issue for the subject lots along Timberline Road, but that no Certificates of
Occupancy will be issued for these lots until the sidewalk along Timberline Road is
completed. This will allow us to obtain building permits for these lots, while still
providing the City adequate assurances that the sidewalk will be in before homes actually
are occupied along "timberline Road.
Would you please review the enclosed and let us know whether the proposed
amendment to the Development Agreement is feasible? As indicated, we hope to draw
down building permits for these lots next month, so we would appreciate hearing from
You as soon as possible. We understand your staff is quite busy, and we certainly
appreciate your assistance in helping us work this out.
I f you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above
number, or Tom Di Rito or John Cunningham at 741-2275. Thank you in advance for
your help.
Very truly yours, r

Re: Harmony Grossing P.U.D.
Dear Mr. Simpson:
This letter is to inform you that the sanitary sewer improvements on the City
right-of-way have been inspected and initially accepted by the City of Fort
Collins pending the normal contractor's warranty period.
Please be informed that this letter of acceptance does not relieve the developer
or the contractors, lot owners, or their contractors, of their responsibility for the
repair of any damage which may occur as a result of the building construction.
Sincerely,

RE: Harmony Crossing
Dear Mr. Spillane:
vices
This letter is in response to your FAX letter request dated May 25,
1994, regarding the Harmony Crossing P.U.D. You mentioned that the
land within the P.U.D. previously had an Exemption Plat which
contained a note stating that no further divisions of the tracts
could be done by the exemption process. You asked that I state
that the note on that plat is no longer in effect.
Since the City of Fort Collins has no exemption process, I assume
that the Exemption Plat was approved while the property was in the
County. The property is now in the City of Fort Collins, and the
City has jurisdiction over the platting of land. The plat approved
by the City for the Harmony Crossing P.U.D. is considered a valid
splitting of the property.
You may want to contact the Larimer County Planning office for a
further explanation of the Exemption Plat process. Their phone
number is 498-7683. Let me know if you have any further question.
Sincerely,
Mike Herzig
Development Engineering Manager
