HomeMy WebLinkAboutHARMONY SAFEWAY MARKETPLACE PUD - PRELIMINARY - 33-94A - CORRESPONDENCE - CITY STAFFThe City normally prepares State Highway Access Permits after final P.U.D. and utility
plan approval and stipulates in the development agreement for the P.U.D. that the
Permit must be approved by C.D.O.T. prior to construction of the access. The
approved P.U.D. and utility plan documents typically serve as the design and site
exhibits described above that are necessary to accompany the Permit when it is
forwarded from the City to C.D.O.T.
However, since the site in question is along the part of Harmony Road which is subject
to the Harmony Road Access Control Plan, that Plan must be amended to allow the
access prior to the City preparing a State Highway Access Permit for construction of the
access. Please contact Eric Bracke, the City Traffic Engineer, at 221-6615 to discuss
the process for amending the Harmony Road Access Control Plan. If the proposed
right-in/right-out access is approved and adopted as part of the Harmony Road Access
Control Plan, then the Development Review Division of the City Engineering
Department will assist you and your consulting engineers in your preparation of the
documents necessary to accompany the Application for State Highway Access Permit.
If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6750. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kerne Ashbeck

Dear Robert,
Enclosed is the Application for State Highway Access Permit you submitted to the City
last month with your business card attached. Since the cover sheet submitted with the
attached traffic study information is not dated nor addressed to anyone, I am not sure of
the exact date it was submitted. The Application was signed by the property owner on
May 9th. I received the packet of information from the City Traffic Engineer's office the
week of May 13 and called Kathleen Krager, the applicant's traffic engineering
consultant, on May 20 to discuss the Application and inform her that it is incomplete
and that the proposed access is not part of the Harmony Road Access Control Plan.
As the issuing authority for State Highway Access Permits in the City of Fort Collins, the
City is obligated to review all Applications for State Highway Access within 45 days of
the date the City accepts the Application for review and determine whether the
Application is complete or is incomplete.
The Application the City received is incomplete since there are a number of plans and
supporting documents which the City requires to prepare an Access Permit which were
not included with the Application. Those items, as a minimum, include the following
which are listed under section 17 of the Application% a) Highway and driveway plan and
profile; b) Drainage plan showing impact on the highway r.o.w.; c) Map and letters (or
plans) detailing utility locations before and after development in and along the r.o.w.; d)
subdivision or development plan (site plan); e) Property map indicating other access,
bordering roads and streets (site plan/overall development plan); f) proposed access
design (including width, radii, auxiliary lane design, pavement design, etc. - all
information necessary to construct the access); g) parcel and ownership maps including
easements (slope, construction, utility easements); h) signing and striping plan; i) traffic
control plan; and h) proof of liability insurance. The only item which may not apply is
item h). The City does not currently require proof of liability insurance, however,
C.D.O.T. may require it as part of the Permit Application. Also, the Application should
include justification for any variances to the State Highway Access Code which are
being requested.
