RE: McClelland's Creek PD & PLD
(Being the 5th Filing of Fossil Lake Ranch P.U.D.)
Request for Variance
Mr. Virata,
This letter is in regards to the Fossil Lake 5th Filing project — officially named
McClelland's Creek PD & PLD (Being the 5th Filing of Fossil Lake Ranch P.U.D.)
— and in particular, to request a variance on the utility easement adjacent to Lake
Ranch Road. The Applicant for this project is Mr. Stan Everitt of the Everitt
Companies. The Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) have
been referenced in this letter. Specifically, a variance is being requested from
Figure 7-9F for the 9-ft utility easement shown to parallel the right-of-way on the
typical section of a Residential Local Street.
Much of Lake Ranch Road has already been constructed and platted with
previous developments (i.e., Fossil Lake P.U.D. 2"d Filing and Swift Addition to
Fossil Lake P.U.D.). The roadway south of our site has a 57-ft right-of-way with
no strip utility easement paralleling the eastern R.O.W. line. Instead, large
greenbelt outlots approximately 35-ft wide were platted on the east side of Lake
Ranch Road. These outlots serve as utility, drainage, and landscape easements,
and this is the same concept proposed with Fossil Lake 5th Filing. While the
LCUASS Design Figure specifies a delineated 9-ft utility easement, we are
proposing the widened outlots in lieu of the standard utility easement.
Even though the Swift Addition to Fossil Lake P.U.D. immediately south of this
site provided the 35-ft wide outlots, it turns out during construction that the dry
utility companies did not even utilize these areas to run gas and electric lines. It
is our suspicion that this will remain true when Lake Ranch Road is extended
north with Fossil Lake 5th Filing. One concern brought up during the
development review process is the existing irrigation pipe and easement which
parallel the east side of this road. It is desired to keep both the pipe and
easement in place; however, the outlots proposed have utility easement rights as
well. The irrigation corridor is non-exclusive, and there is still approximately 15-ft
of width completely free of any irrigation encumbrances on the east side of the
outlots.
420 SOUTH HOWES, SUITE 202 1 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80521 1 970.221.4158 / FAX 970.221.4159
We have attached an exhibit illustrating the area discussed above. We feel
justified in requesting the variance to replace the 9-ft standard utility easement
with a 35-ft outlot (20-ft of which has an existing irrigation pipe and easement).
We do not feel that this proposal will jeopardize the ability of the franchised utility
companies to service this subdivision, nor those near by. This variance will not
be detrimental to the public health, safe or welfare, nor should it maintenance costs to the City of Fort Collins or any dry utility company.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely, 111

Res Eastbound Left Turn Lane on Kechter Road at Strauss Cabin Road
McClelland Creek Development
I have investigated the ability of the Kechter Road — Strauss Cabin Road intersection to
function acceptably ly without an eastbound left -turn lane in the short-term. The investigation
assessed conditions using short-term peak hour traffic estimates with McClelland's Creek
fully built. It was determined that with one approach lane In all directions, the intersection will
operate as indicated below.

The above operating levels -of -service are acceptable based on criteria published in the
Latimer County Urban Area Street Standards. Accordingly, the eastbound left -turn lane on
Kechter Road at the Strauss Cabin Road intersection can be waived. Capacity worksheets
are attached.
I trust this memo will meet your current needs. Please give me a call N you have any
questions or need additional assistance.

RE: Proximity to Fire Station Standards
Staley Property PD & PLD
Larimer County, Colorado
Dear Staff.
The purpose of this letter is to provide a narrative describing the proposed water supply
for fire protection to the Staley Property development. The site is located directly north
of the Swift Addition to Fossil Lake development and south of the Willow Brook
development. The water distribution system for the proposed site is connected to the Fort
Collins/Loveland Water District.
The Staley Property water distribution system is capable of supplying a minimum of
1,000 gallons per minute with a minimum pressure of 20-pounds per square inch. The
fire hydrants within the system are no more than 1,000 feet from any given occupied
structure.
The development is located within a five -mile travel distance of the existing manned Fire
Station Number 10, located near the intersection of Horsetooth Road and Timberline
Road (See attached Fire Protection Exhibit). It is assumed the fire station would take one
of two routes to access the Staley Property site. The first route would be to take
Timberline south for two miles, head east on County Road 36 for 1.3 miles, turn south on
the proposed Trilby Road in Fossil Lake Second Filing, and east on Muskrat Creek Drive
(a total of approximately four miles). The second possible route would be to head east on
Horsetooth Road for one mile, turn south on County Road 9 for two miles, head east on
County Road 36 for half of a mile, and turn south on the proposed Northern Lights Drive
(a total of approximately four miles). Both routes would be within the require five mile
travel distance requirement for urban developments.
If you should have any questions or comments as you review this report, please feel free
to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
