Re: Kensington South Subdivisions
Dear Rex:
Some weeks ago you met with Marc Engemoen and myself to discuss the detention
system in the Kensington South 1st Filing as it relates to building permits.
In our meeting you indicated the remaining improvements to the detention
system would be completed as soon as possible. In turn, the City agreed not
to withhold building permits in the Kensington South Subdivisions because of
the drainage system.
To date the City has released building permits for homes on Hastings,
Canterbury and Knottingham streets. However, work towards completing
the drainage system has not yet started.
The City has operated in good faith towards its portion of the agreement and
now requests the drainage system be completed.
In addition, after the pond's completion a letter from your engineer to the
Storm Drainage Utility, certifying the drainage system has been constructed
to the lines and grades shown on the Kensington South 1st Filing Utility Plans
as approved by the City Engineer must be submitted.
If the drainage system is not completed by July 31, 1983, the City Engineer's
office will withhold all building permits in the Kensington South Subdivisions.
All permits requested from now to the July 31st date will be handled on an
individual basis.
I regret the inconvenience this may cause you, but the Kensington developments
have expanded to the point where completion of the pond is necessary.

Dear Rex:
F5
You asked about the City's acceptance of the detention pond for
Kensington South (Tract "A", Kensington South, First Filing).
tour construction inspectors have inspected the final grading
and have found it unsatisfactory. Apparently the pan is higher
than the bottom of the pond. This will result in water standing
in the pond bottom, which makes the pond difficult to maintain.
You will need to regrade the bottom, perhaps bringing in some fill,
before we can accept the pond for perpetual maintenance. I suggest
you and your earthwork contractor meet with Dave Stringer at the
site before regrading to determine exactly what is necessary.
Once the pond is acceptable, the City will take over perpetual
maintenance. After talking with our right-of-way agent, the best
way to handle this is for you to prepare a warranty deed and send it
to us. We will check to see if there are any outstanding taxes,
liens, etc. and if not, we will send it to Council for approval
and have it recorded.
I hope I've given you the information you need to finalize this matter.
If you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.
Since ely,
Ma c Engemoen

Re: The Square at Kensington South
Dear Rex:
It has been brought to my attention by the Kensington South Homeowners
Association that a sidewalk located at the south end of Canterbury Court
and going south to the property line of Rocky Mountain High School has
never been installed.
After looking into this matter, there is a sidewalk that is shown on the
utility plan. The City agrees with the homeowners that this sidewalk needs
to be installed inorder to allow access for the students to the high school
grounds.
On October 13, 1986 I contacted Keith Goosman with the Poudre R-1 School
District, Grounds and Maintenance, and he informed me that they have the
gate and fence materials on hand and as soon as the sidewalk is complete,
they will install the gate to line-up with the sidewalk.
Therefore, the City is requiring that the developer install the sidewalk as
soon as possible this construction season or no later than November 14,
1986.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at
221-66U5.
Sincerely
. �—
