SUBJECT: Streets and Drives within Union Place
Dear Carie:
Thank you for meeting with me Friday, May e. This letter is to follow up our discussion with regards to
the private drives located within Union Place. This letter will also be sent to Andrew Carney with the City
of Fort Collins Engineering.
With exception of Willox Lane and Mason Street, the streets within the Union Place site will be private
drives. The primary reason for converting the streets to private drives is because the City of Fort Collins
will not allow low -impact techniques such as permeable pavement and bio-swales within their right-of-
way due mostly to maintenance concerns. The following are typical street sections for the site:
• The.typical street section for Blue Sun Street and Urban Prairie Street will be 30 feet flowline-to-
flowline and will include two 8-foot drive lanes and two 7-foot parking lanes, which is similar to a
City of Fort public residential street. Two fire hydrants have been located on Urban Prairie Street
and one fire hydrant has been located on -Blue Sian .Street.:
• Green Leaf Street will have two 10-foot drive lanes plus parking.
• The "alleys" or other private drives within the site will typically have curb and gutter on one side of
the street. For these sections, the alleys will range from 12-foot to 16-foot wide from curb flowline
to edge of pavement. There is one alley that will be 12.7-feet wide from flowline-to-flowline.
As discussed in our meeting we are dedicating all private drives as emergency access easements (EAE) as
part of the blanket access and utility easement. As discussed some of the EAE's for the private drives
(alleys) will not be 20' wide.
If you have questions, please contact me at (970) 221-2400.
