Re: Encroachment of Stephens Street
Dear Ms. Todd:
I am writing this letter to ask your cooperation as it concerns the problem Mrs.
Smith is having with rocks being placed in Stephens Street. Apparently, there
is some dispute on your part as to where the right-of-way for Stephens Street is
in relationship with the existing gravel access off of LaPorte Avenue. On May
1, 1991, a City Survey crew located the boundaries for this roadway and based
upon their findings the existing access is within the platted right-of-way.
Therefore, the section of Stephens Street currently being used as access to the
trash dumpster by the trash company is a part of Stephens Street as described on
the plat for Stephens Subdivision.
Please be informed that this is public right-of-way and can be used as access to
the trash dumpster servicing 2315 LaPorte Avenue and any attempt to block this
street is an unauthorized encroachment. As you are aware, in the last several
weeks numerous rocks have been placed in the street creating a difficult
situation for the property owner at 2315 LaPorte as it relates to trash
collection.
It is the intent of this letter to inform you that Stephens Street is public
right-of-way and can be used by the trash collection company to obtain access to
the dumpster for 2315 LaPorte. Additionally, please be informed that any type
of material placed in the street area is considered an encroachment and is a
violation of the Code of The City of Fort Collins, Section 23, Article III
Encroachments. It is the Citys' desire that this section of street be left open
and any further action to obstruct the use of this street will result in the
issuance of code violations to the offending parties. As I tried to explain to
you on May 1, 1991, the rocks were moved to allow access onto the right-of-way
and I ask for your cooperation in keeping Stephens Street open.
