Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Rocky Mountain High School Submission Dear Ted, The following comments are in response to your letter of August 27, 1993: 1. Soil Report: Attached. 2. Revised Curb Cuts and Pavements: Details will be submitted with Final Utility and Drainage Plans. 3. Paving on Swallow Road: There is none. There is a modification of the curb at the junction with Rocky Mountain Way which will be detailed on Final Utility and Drainage Plan. 4. Drainage Report: Phil Robinson will contact Glen Schleuter to coordinate details and information. A final Drainage Report will be submitted, but not prior to preliminary presentation at the September 27th meeting. Our plan addresses not only the additional hard surfaces required by Storm Drainage, but existing drainage problems that the City has in the area from the Rocky Mountain High School Site. We think Storm Drainage will be pleased with our efforts. 5. Electric Service: No relocation of the electric service is anticipated. Service size will be increased. 6. Gas Service: Phil Robinson will contact Public Service regarding the potential conflict of the Addition with an existing natural gas service line.
