Sanders Preliminary/Final P.U.D. 223 Jefferson Street Suite A Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 Dear Mike: PHONE (970) 224-5828 FAX (970) 224.2956 We have reviewed staff comments dated August 18, 1995, and have the following comments: -70 We believe the submittal for George T. Sanders P.U.D. did meet a submittal requirements for a Final P.U.D. We did not understand that easements from downstream property owners in an historic water course were required the day of submittal. Maurice Lutkin of Westec responded to this issue without delay. He met with all of the downstream property owners and found that none had any objection to the stormwater flows from this property continuing to use the historic water course through their properties. However, since one of the property owners did want to be compensated, Maurice looked at other alternatives. Since it was necessary to raise the elevation of the bottom of the pond to limit its depth to four feet, it became possible to put the storm water from the Sanders project into the inlet directing it to a pipe running along the south side of the Weberg furniture store. Maurice has revised his stormwater report accordingly and a letter from John Weberg stating his consent is attached. Since the stormwater issue was the reason for not considering the project as a Final, we are asking that staff keep the proposal as originally submitted -- Preliminary/Final. We can see no reason why the project review period should be extended for a month, since there are no other serious issues to be resolved. 2.

Detenti.an Pond Drain Dear Maurice: I am in the process of trying to sell a company that has simply grown too large for me to handle - or that I have grown too old to handle , and I do not have the time or energy to look into any possible ramifications your request might have for us. Why don't you draw up a simple agreement whereby in return for our approval for the Sanders Company to connect into our existing 15 inch storm drain and water quality filter system, Sanders agrees to work with our Fort Collins Store Manager to help with any cleaning and maintenance the system requires, and to solve to our satisfaction any problems which, in our opinion, are caused by, or made worse by, the connection, and, if that effort fail.$, to at our request promptly disconnect from our system. I, like you, foresee no such problems, and am happy to go along with this request of our new neighbor, so long as he is willing to solve the problems if problems are created, or disconnect. A simple letter agreement, will do. If you will fax it to me, signed by an officer of Sanders, and if it clearly accomplis'nes the above, I wili sign it and fax it back. Then, if you wish, you may follow with hard copy by mail for both of our files. I will be working in my office through the week,and, but: then flying :o Texas on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then Denver on Thursday and possibly Friday, so I will probably not get it until later next week. I hope this will do. .a.�f-c e e 1 y, ohn Weber g KFUN rNG)NEEPING SCIPYCE & rfCH11010CV NC August 31, 1995 Mr. John Weberg 442 Wembley Court Colorado Springs, CO 80906 RE: GEORGE T. SANDERS COMPANY P.U.D. - DETENTION POND DRAIN Dear Mr. Weberg: Enclosed are prints of the grading and drainage plan for your Fort Collins facility and a print of a similar plan for the proposed Sanders' development immediately to your west. I have marked in red our proposed connection from the Sanders' detention pond to the existing 15 inch storm drain that is south of your store. As you will note, the connection would be made at the back of the west inlet on Fossil Boulevard and would not disturb any existing construction. We have checked the capacity of the existing drain and it is more than adequate to handle the additional flow and we have reviewed the concept with Glen Schlueter of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility. The only adverse impact to your system that we can envision as a result of this connection would be to the water quality filter (detail A on the grading and drainage plan for your facility), (.e., it is conceivable that cleaning might be required more often. The George T. Sanders Company would be pleased to share the cost of maintenance of this filter with your organization. We are attempting to submit this project to the City for review on September 7, 1995. 1 know this Is extremely short notice, particularly in view of the of the extra heavy work load you are presently faced with. However, if we could receive your reaction by phone or fax it would provide us with needed direction. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, WESTEC Gt/2�c/6 N urice H. Lutkin, P.E.
