Proposed Alternate Design • The proposed design presents an easement of eight feet (8') as measured from the back - of -walk (detached). • The proposed design does not include a gas line within the easement. Gas service will be from the south of the site where existing gas service is located. This was coordinated and approved by representatives of Excel Energy. • A joint trench for the electric line and the telecommunication line will be in the proposed eight foot (8') easement. Comparison With Standard • The variance requested decreases the easement by 1-foot, from nine feet (9') to eight feet (8') as measured from the back -of -walk. • No gas line will be located in this easement. Standard utility Drawing 12-1 presents both an electric and gas line in the easement. Gas service will be from the south of the site where existing gas service is located. This was coordinated and approved by representatives of Excel Energy. • One utility line requiring a separate trench has been eliminated in this specific easement location. • No additional capital and maintenance requirements, or costs would be assumed directly to the City of Fort Collins due to the approval of this variance. Justification • By eliminating one utility line (gas) from this specific easement location, the minimum needed easement dimension for proper installation has been reduced. • Assuming two feet (2') of spacing between utility lines, and roughly a one foot (1') trench width for a gas line, three feet (3') of needed easement clearance has been removed. • The proposed utility plan reduces the easement by 1-foot. • Therefore, by providing an eight foot (8') easement with only one trenched utility, a greater "factor of safety" has been incorporated in the proposed design. This can be considered as reducing the proposed easement by one foot (1'), versus reducing the easement by three feet (3') considering the elimination of one utility and trench.

Collins, Colorado 80524 Attn: Katie Moore Re: Variance Request; Mason Street North; Fort Collins, Colorado Previously Lot 12 and Tract A, Martinez P.U.D. Dear Ms. Moore, SHEAR ENGINEERING This document requests a variance as proposed in the Final Utility Plans For Mason Street North, A Replat of Lot 12 and Tract A, Martinez, P.U.D., prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation. The project is located south of Lee Martinez Park, and at the northwest corner of the intersection of Cherry Street and Mason Court. Immediately to the west of the site is a residential community, Martinez P.U.D. Guidance for requesting this variance was taken from Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS), Section 1.9.2.A.2, January 2, 2001. Approval of variances for one element is sought. This is: • Reduction of a street utility easement from nine feet (9') in width, to eight feet (8') in width. ELEMENT — UTILITY EASEMENT Issue — South Side of Mason Court (Cherry Street to Private Drivel A nine foot (9') utility easement was dedicated on the south side of Mason Court with the final plat of Martinez P.U.D. This is a request to reduce that easement to eight feet (8') with Mason Street North, being a replat of Lot 12 and Tract A of Martinez P.U.D. Standards contained in LCUASS to be waived are: • Appendix A, Drawing 7-917; For a Residential Local Street, a utility easement having a width of nine feet (9') shall be provided on both sides of the street behind detached walks. • Section 12.3, "Installation of Utilities and Other Systems — Location Criteria." This section does not specifically state dimensions for easements. The section only references Drawing 12-1. • Appendix A, Drawing 12-1: An easement containing both gas and electric lines shall range from nine to fifteen feet (9' to 15') in width, as measured from the back -of -walk (detached) / R.O.W. 4836 S.
