Re: North Flats — Request for permission to project removable stairways into a utility easement
Dear Sirs,
Millhaus, Incorporated is developing a residential project known as North Flats. This project is
located in Old Town North Subdivision, north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue in Fort
Collins. This project consists of eight buildings each containing 5 residential units which are to be
placed on lots within Old Town North that have previously had the infrastructure constructed.
Specifically, the lots are M-10 through M-17 of Block 3, Lots M-9 through M-16 of Block 4, Lots M-
42 through M49 of Block 7, Lots M-22 through M-29 of Block 8 together with Tracts T-AA, T-N, T-
0. T-UU and T-VV. Please refer to the attached coppies of a site plan and the proposed plat for
the project.
As these lots are very restrictive in size it has become necessary to project a portion of the
stairways serving the upper level units into the utility easement at the front of the units and
therefore it is requested that Xcel grant permission to allow these stairways to make such an
encroachment into the easement.
The easements in question contain an Xcel gas line and with this in mind it is understood that Xcel
may need access to this gas line at some point in time. To accommodate this, the stairways will be
constructed of steel stingers, treads and railings assembled together as a single unit that will be
attached to the bulking with bolted connections. The stairway units would then be able to be easily
disconnected from the building should the event arise that Xcel would need to gain access to the
easement in the positrons where the stairways are located.
If you find this request to be acceptable, could you please indicate so in writing and provide
information as to the appropriate format of a proper legal agreement to address this situation?
If you have any questions or require any additional information please feel free to contact me.
