HomeMy WebLinkAboutSAGE CREEK - PDP - 25-98B - CORRESPONDENCE - CITY STAFFMill Road, & Cornerstone shall be designed with a 36-foot cross .
section and than transition from the 30-foot local residential or 34-foot
cross section. The transition taper is based on the following equation
(equation is from MUTCD, 1988 Edition, page 6C-3):
40-mph or less (speed limit) L=WS2/60
Where: L = Taper Length in feet
W = Width of offset in feet
S = Posted speed or off-peak 85%ile speed in MPH
The actual taper length per side would be 31 feet. Please include 20-
25 feet for storage. The total '/2 transition length is 51-56 feet.
(b) . Please correct or request a variance for the inadequate tangent length
between horizontal curves from 48.16 feet to the minimum of 100 feet
on Cornerstone Drive.
It is understood that the wording in the letters of intent need to be reviewed by the city
prior to acceptance. And in a discussion with Ron Fuchs, City Planner, revised Project
Development Plan sets in conformance with all Land Use. Code standards, are required
prior to formally scheduling an administrative public hearing. 'Ron Fuchs can be reached
at 970/221.6750.
Thank you, for you commitment to resolve these issues. If there are any question, call me

Dear Les:
As we all know the James Company would like to see the Sage Creek PDP project go to
public hearing. The Engineering Department and your firm, Sear -Brown; have been in
contact on several occasions to ensure that the city's requirements are being met. In
order to coordinate our conversations with the James Company and other pertinent city
departments, I have outlined the Engineering Departments issues that still need to be
addressed prior to this project being schedule for public hearing:
1. All necessary easements and rights -of -way required for this project shall be
delineated and presented with a letter of intent from the property owners
granting the easement or right-of-way. Going further, I requested Jonathan
Moore, Sear -Brown, submit a grading plan, demonstrating how the proposed
grades along County Road 9 and County Road 36 east of County Road 9 will
tie -into the existing grades. The reason for this request is to ensure that no
additional offsite easements or rights -of -way are necessary in locations other
than those already identified (i.e. the bridge on County Road 9, the reciprocal
easement with Harvest Park; etc).
2. The Engineering and Traffic Operations Departments met and discussed the
proposed roundabout design: The result of that discussion is that the
enhanced crosswalks at the intersection should be setback 20 feet from
flowline, and similar to Harvest Park. Further, the Poudre Fire Authority will
need to express full acceptance of the roundabout design to the Engineering
and Traffic Operations Departments. The acceptance shall be based on a
turning template demonstration preformed by Sear -Brown (see the Harvest
Park demonstration).
3. The Plat is still showing some horizontal deficiencies. The following shall be
resolved prior to a public hearing: .
(a) Please correct the local residential streets that intersect with County
Road 36 to include a transition and storage. Rabbit Creek Road, Old
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6605
