Collins, and because it may later be annexed to the city, the Developer is following the practice of satisfying the requirements of both the Larimer County Subdivision regulations as well as those ons require 3,000 P,S�I� Of the city. The two specificc- tions for concrete to be used in sidewalk, curb and gutter are very similar but differ in one detail. The county specifications minimum compressive strength, making no mention of volume of portland, cement per cubic yard of mix. The city specification specifies 6 sacks of p cubic yard alone. If the former is allowed to govern, theconttractormwill have to use whatever proportion is necessary to produce a product of 3000 P.S.I. minimum compressive.strength. We solicit your approval of our request to use pressive strength requirement and to waive the Per cubic yard of mix. If you agree, we plan Of Ft.

Box 580 300 West LoPorte Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 60521 August 11, 1972 Mr. Art March, Jr., City Attorney United Bank Building 401 South College Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Art: Telephone 303 484-4220 Enclosed herewith is an easement from Albert Wooster dated February 3, 1955, wherein Paragraph (4) states: "The City will install a 4 inch tap, at City's expense, as shown on attached map." The City is now considering a plat of the Stagecoach Subdivision, which is a development by Ladco, Inc. the present owners. This plat contains 147 building sites on an unknown acreage. In comparing the ratio of the Plant Investment Fee of $185.00 for a 3/4 inch flat rate water service with the $5,300.00 Plant Investment Fee for a 4 inch service exclusive of meter, the ratio is 28.65 to 1. In comparing the cross sectional area of a 3/4 inch pipe with that of a 4 inch pipe, which is a ratio of the water carrying capacity for the two pipes, the ratio is 28.44 to 1. Based on the above, I would recommend that the City notify Ladco, Inc. at 1717 West Prospect that the City will honor the 4 inch tap to the extent of furnishing 30-3/4 inch taps including Water Rights to this developer. The 31st lot through the 147th lot will pay normal Plant Investment Fee charges and Water Rights in effect at the time of the permit. Kindly send me a copy of your letter of Ladco, Inc. for our files.

Smith 1717 West Prospect Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Dr. Smith: Following your inquiry as to the availability of water service from the City of Fort Collins on the proposed Stage- coach Subdivision, kindly be advised that the City has two water mains running across this property and the entire site is capable of being served by the City's water system. In that these will be out -of -city taps, a typical tap would be a 3/4 inch metered service. CL/lms Sincerely, Charles Liq 'n Director o Public Works TIME CENTER OF THE WORLD Ladco, Inc. 1717 W. Prospect Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Gentlemen: We have reviewed a Right of Way Agreement dated February 3, 1955, between the City and Albert Wooster concerning the lands which you are pre- sently developing as the Stagecoach Subdivision. This agreement provided for a 4 inch tap from the City to these lands on the City's water line. It appears that you are developing these lands for residential purposes and a 4 inch tap would not be appropriate for this use. I aa;i advised by the City Engineers that the cross sectional area of a 3/4 inch pipe (normal residential pipe) compares with the cross -sectional area of a 4 inch pipe at a ratio of 28.44 to 1. Also, the City's Plant Investment Fee of $185.00 for a 3/4 inch water service compares with the Plant Investment Fee of $5,300.00 for a 4 inch service at a ratio of 28.65 to I. III view of the above, it would appear that the City's obligation in connection with this agreement would be satisfied by furnishing 30 normal residential 3/4 inch taps to these lands without charging a Plant Investment Fee in comiection with the same. The City will provide such taps without such charge and will expect normal payment for all additional taps in accordance with its policies as set forth in the City's Ordinances. If you have any question regarding the above, please advise. Sincerely yours, Arthur E. March, Jr. Assistant City Attorney P. O.

Per the attached agreement, the City is obligated to furnish without cost to the developer a 4 inch water tap. Due to the type of development you have in mind, the City has agreed to issue 30 residential type 3/4 inch taps to said lands by letter to Ladco, Inc. dated September 6, 1972. This then required the payment of $250 per tap on an additional 150 requested services. Said payment was made on September 15, 1972. The proposed development calls for 180 living units and on the date the water permit was taken, the Park Land Fee was $40 per living unit and $7,200 was paid to the City on that date. The City of Fort Collins does not charge mill levy for the support of either the sewer or water utility. The service charge for sewer and water is per the attached schedule with the quarterly minimum charge for water being $10 and the quarterly minimum charge for sewer being $9.50. I trust the above information is in answer to your questions.

It is possible that the first family may move in by July 31, 1973. For some time thereafter, until the population reaches a certain level, volume and continuity of flow of sewage will be inadequate to avoid settlement of solids and probable blockage of the mains. The developer wishes to obtain from the City of Fort Collins perhi.ssion to use hydrant water for the purpose of regular periodic flushing of these mains for as long as necessary. Would the City permit this, would such water be metered and at what rate would it be charged? Would such flushing be regulated by Fort Collins, performed by Fort Collins personnel or witnessed by a Fort Collins inspector? Very truly yours, CASA ''BELLLA DEVELOPMENT /CO. By_1J�X Charles 0.
