Re: The variance request for an 8 foot utility easement along Mason Court
Dear Mr. Rohlfs,
This letter is in response to your request for a variance to the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards. The variance requested was a reduction of the utility easement along Mason Court from the
standard 9 feet to 8 feet. This variance has been approved by the City Engineer only for the portion of the
utility easement on the south side of Mason Court from Cherry to the cul-de-sac bulb.
As with all variances to the street standards, this variance granted for this project is based on the particular
situation under design and the judgment that we (the designer and the City) apply to determine whether
there is a public safety concern. This variance for this project in no way sets a precedence for relaxing
these standards on other projects without complete analysis and justification.
Additionally, it was mentioned at an earlier meeting with the developer of this project that additional
language would be added to the plat regarding easements. I believe the language was to indicate that
the removal of any awnings needed to access the easements would be the responsibility of the building
owner(s). Please ensure that the appropriate language is added to the plat.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Katie Moore
Project Engineer
City of Fort Collins
