RE: Project #29-OOA Maple Hill PDP — Larimer County Road 11 proposed improvements. Second review.
Dave,
I have reviewed the revised County Road 11 plans dated 2/4/03. Without going into great detail, I continue to
have the same concerns that I expressed in my previous letter. While additional information has been added to
the plans showing the frontage road and its connection to the future CR 1 I realignment, I still feel that there is not
enough information to determine how the connections are going to be constructed. The additional information
that has been added still indicates a fairly steep grade (8%) between the frontage road and CR 11. Like you and I
discussed on the phone the other day a 3% to 4% grade seems like it would be the maximum grade you'd want
accessing an arterial.
I appreciate that you are continuing to work with the residents along CR 11. They have stayed in touch with us
and I know that they are very interested in what happens with the road in front of their homes. It is my
understanding from meeting with Cam a couple of weeks ago and from talking with Joe Bleicher, that the goal is
to get the utility work done in the frontage road prior to the asphalt overlay being placed this year in order to
avoid future cuts in the road.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the plans. If you have any questions or need additional
information you can reach me at 498-5730.
Sincerely,
Rusty McDaniel, P.E.
Assistant County Engineer
