f �
4. A variance of the northwest Local Access Street whereby egress loop will be
permitted by means of connection to private driveway lane provided a) a public
easement shall be granted for such use, b) all maintenance of private driveway lane
shall be responsibility of Indian Hills Village HOA, and c) visual differentiation in
paving shall be provided at connection point between the Public Street and the private
drive. The justification for this is the low amount of traffic which will occur and will
require turn -around for this street. Fire department access requirements are met
because this Local Access Street is less than 150 feet long and no fire department
equipment will be proceeding down it or required to turn around at the end of same.
5. A variance for curve radiuses permitting less than the standard 240 feet (30 mph
design speed) is requested as follows: Radius #1 variance from 240 feet to 100 feet,
radius #2 variance from 240 feet to 100 feet, radius #3 variance from 240 feet to 100
feet, and radius #12 variance from 240 feet to 165 feet. This is justified by the design
of the project which requires that traffic proceed at a low speed of approximately 15
mph in these areas. Specifically, the short distances, the undulating roadway
character and the alternating right-of-way landscape offsets contribute to creating slow
traffic speeds in this project of approximately 15 mph. Also, traffic flow entering and
exiting from the project will be either coming to a stop before entering the project,
slowing down close to a stop in order to make a safe right angle turn into project, or
slowing down to a stop before exiting from project. Accordingly, traffic proceeding
through curves #1, #2 and #3 will be in the process of accelerating from 1 - 15 mph or
decelerating from 15 mph to a stop in these areas.
If you have any questions regarding the variance requests, please call.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Rutherford, P.E. & L.S

Dear Mike:
This is a request for variances for residential streets in the proposed Indian Hills
Village located at the intersection of East Stuart Street and Stover Street.
The variances are as follows:
1. A variance of the right-of-way width of a Local Street from 54 feet to 43 feet, and the
�( flow line to flow line width from 36 feet to 34 feet, Table 1, Page T-1. The reduction
u� would be in the parking width from 8 feet to 7 feet and the driving lanes would remain
10. feet wide. The utility easements on either side of the street would be widened from
9 feet to 14 1/2 feet. The 7 foot wide parking area will be delineated by being
concrete, with 10 foot wide driving lanes being asphalt. The standard cannot be met
t� aSVI with the garages in the rear of the lot which is desirable in order to not have the street
k scape be all garage doors. There should not be problems in handling the traffic since
the driving lanes remain 10 feet wide.
2. A variance of the Local Access Street right-of-wayfrom 54 feet et to 34 feet and the
W�ovS flow line to flow line width from 36 feet to 29 feet, Table 1, Page T-1. The street would
have parking only on one side of the street. The A.D.T. for each street where this
section is proposed is 600. The standard cannot be met with the garages in the rear of
the lot due to added land needed for width of the garage access drive. The street
would have parking on one side only, and no parking signs will be provided by the
developer. The lots on the Local Access Streets are within 150 feet of the residential
street and therefore do not cause a problem for fire fighting.
3. A variance of the southeast Local Access Street allowing a public hammerhead
turn -around at the end designed to meet City of Fort Collins alley hammerhead
specification. The justification for this is the low amount of traffic which will occur and
will require turn -around for this street. Fire department access requirements are met
because this Local Access Street is less than 150 feet long and no fire
department equipment will be proceeding down it or required to turn around at the end
of same.
