Re: The variance. request for locating sidewalk culverts within curb returns for the Eckerd at
College and Drake project
Dear Mr. Oberlander,
This letter is in response to your request for a variance to the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards. The variance requested was for locating two sidewalk culverts within the curb returns of the
driveway access onto Drake Road. This variance has been approved by the City Engineer only for this
project and specifically as shown on the utility plans. The sidewalk culverts should infringe on the curb
returns by no more than the 2.9' stated in the request.
As with all variances to the street standards, the variances granted for this project are 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. The variances for this project in no way set any precedence for
relaxing these standards on other projects without complete analysis and justification.
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
