Consulting Engineers and Surveyors February 26, 1979 City Engineering Department City of Fort Collins 300 LaPorte Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 Gentlemen: This is to advise you that Detention Areas "C" & "E", Stonehenge 4th Filing, Fort Collins, Colorado, have been graded. Detention Area "E" has been graded according to the Grading Plan by Cornell Consulting Company except the outlet weir has not been completed. The pond has the planned detention capacity and has been landscaped. Detention Area "C" has been graded to contain the planned detention capacity, however, the outlet flows over the top of the walk into the South gutter of Stonehenge Drive. The earth berm has been raised to compensate for the bottom of the pond being raised. The developer eliminated the pipe in order to construct a tennis court on Tract "A" near Lots 8 and 18. If you have any questions regarding this matter please call. Sincerely, JAMES H. STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Richard A. Rutherford, P.E. & L.S.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Bob: It was decided by my development staff to install sidewalk adjacent to Stuart Street in Stonehenge 4th and 6th filings. The work will be contracted with F 8 F Concrete. It is unfortunate we did not catch it at the time utility plans were drawn. However, that is our error, and we will abide by the utility plans. My apologies for taking so much of your time on a rather insignificant matter. Since , C7 Reid L.

BOX 580, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO ENGINEERING DIVISION EXT. 728 March 5, 1979 Mr. Reid Rosenthal Osprey Homes 300 Spinnaker Lane Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Reid: We have received Dick Rutherford's letter dated February 26, 1979 regarding the changes to the detention ponds on Stonehenge, Fourth Filing. Please be advised that the changes indicated are not in compliance with the approved utility drawings for this subdivision, nor do they provide adequate detention or an acceptable outlet for the drainage on this site. I have discussed with Bill Blackwell of Cornell Consulting Company several alternatives for correcting this situation. However, until a solution acceptable to the City is provided, there will be no additional building permits or certificates of occupancy issued for structures within this subdivision. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Re: Stonehenge IV Drainage Dear Mr. Engemoen: This is in response to your letter of March S, 1979 addressed to Mr. Reid Rosenthal. We have discussed the situation with Reid and propose to alleviate the problem associated with drainage at Stone- henge IV as follows. We will re -excavate the existing 12-inch RCP and extend it with a 12-inch diameter RCP storm pipe. We will route the storm drain around the tennis court providing a channel, as appropriate, to the existing detention area. In your opinion, would junction boxes with lids be acceptable as manholes for the line? In addition, grading around the detention pond south of Stonehenge Drive will be re -worked to assure proper delivery of storm water. Sincerely, CORNELL CONSULTING COMPANY )14 Harry Cornell, P.E. President IAC/fsr No Text 'l✓ CITY OF FORT COLLINS P.O- BOX 580, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522 ENGINEERING DIVISION PH (303) 484-4220 EXT. 728 July 7, 1979 Mr. Reid Rosenthal Osprey Homes 300 Spinnaker Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Reid: I appreciate the time you took to discuss development coordination with me. I think each of us have a better understanding of the other's point of view. In an effort to better understand the financial problems a developer faces, I have taken your suggestion and arranged to talk with Dave Gilfillan of the First National Bank. In fact, Bob Zakely, Mauri Rupel and I will all be talking with him. As we have discussed at our recent meetings, there are a number of construction items on the utility plans for both Stonehenge and The Landings which are significantly behind schedule. I believe we are in agreement concerning the need for these improvements, but it is important for both of us to know the proposed timing for their construction. Most of these items have been discussed a number of times with our inspection staff, but there seems to be some confusion about when they will be completed. Please submit by July 11, 1979 a letter indicating the date by which each of these improvements will be completed. A. Items which are not yet built and are overdue for construction: 1. Approximately 12 to 15 feet of curb, gutter and sidewalk to tie Stonehenge with Parkwood on Rollingwood and Brook- wood. 2. Sidewalk on the south side of Stuart Street from Rolling - wood to Welch Street. 3. Sidewalk on the south side of Breakwater Drive where the street was relocated to accomodate existing trees. 4. Street signs in the 3rd Filinq of The Landings. B. Items which need additional work in order to make them functional: 1. Install an outlet in the detention pond south of Stuart Street in Stonehenge-4th Filing. 2. Detention and drainage systems on The Landings subdivisions. 'aw Reid Rosenthal Page 2 C. Items which should be under construction now in order to have them completed in accordance with the schedule out- lined in the utility agreement or the City Code. For example: 1. All the improvements on Horsetooth Road adjacent to The Landings subdivision. 2. Sidewalk on the south side of Stuart Street adjacent to Stonehenge 6th Filing. D. Many items which have been constructed do not appear to be in conformance with the plans. Please submit plans showing any changes that were made during construction or have your engineer verify that the following items have been constructed according to the plan. 1. Detention system in Stonehenge 4th may not be graded properly. 2. The installation of the tennis courts in Stonehenge 4th resulted in a change in the drainage system. We have no plans reflecting the change. 3. The bridge at The Landings inlet was not constructed according to the plan. 4. Catch basins on Breakwater Drive have been changed to walk drains. 5. The intersection of Horsetooth and Landings Drive does not drain well. In addition, I received a copy of the letter you sent to Gwyn Strand concerning payment of utility bills and various credits owed to you by the City. You indicated a credit of $3,492.00 for oversizing of Stuart Street. A payment for the street over - sizing has been processed through this office in the amount of $2,569.87. We agree with your charges for base course, however, the reimbursable portion of the paving cost was overestimated. If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to call me.

Since then I have talked with Tan Mannschreck twice in an effort to get the dates for completion of the items indicated in my letter.. During our most recent conversation..which was yesterday in my office, he pranised to submit a letter to me by Friday with the necessary dates. I informed him that I `mould be sending another letter to Reid by Monday if I didn't have the dates by then. The letter to Reid would indicate that no more certificates of occupancy and building permits will be issued until the dates for completion of Reid's work are resolved.
