Planning Department
City of Fort Collins
300 Laporte Ave.
Fort Collins, Co. 80521
We are hereby requesting the approval of a Minor Subdivision for
property we own that is situated in the SW; of Section 18, T6N, R68, W of
the6th P.M., Larimer County Colorado, being the "Emerson Acres Annexation"
to the City of Fort Collins.
The Minor Subdivision is to be named "EMERSON ACRES SUBDIVISION".
We are enclosing the required information as set out in Ordinance
#113, 1987 of the Council of the City of Fort Collins amending the Code of
the City by the addition of a new Section 99-4(D) making provision for the
expedited review and approval of Minor Subdivisions.
We are extremely concerned that the City, in the process of construction
and paving of the West J of South LeMay Avenue along the Provincetowne
Development, removed portions of our fence, placed large outlet tiles (storm
drainage tiles from the Provincetowne Development ) on our land and even
started some backhoe work, without our permission. We had to stop the man
with the backhoe who told us his instructions were to do the digging.
Previously The South Fort Collins Sanitation District did some construction
work on our property, again without our permission. They will not even
respond to our concerns. We are not aware that Municipalities, Utility
Companies, etc. or private persons can use other parties property as has been
done to us without legal consequences.
It is our understanding from several meetings we and our Realtor,
Harold Einarsen, had with the staff in the City Planning and Engineering
Departments that the City of Fort Collins will complete the following at
no cost to us.
1. The City will reduce and restrict the potential quantity of flow
of storm water from the Provincetowne Development thru our property to the
"HISTORIC" flow thru a 12" the that has served the purpose of carrying
the runoff from the west side of LeMay for many many years. Per Matt Baker.
2. The City will channelize at no cost to us the drainage channel
from the Provincetowne Development thru our land to Stanton Creek and will
attractively Riprap this channel to prevent erosion. Per Matt Baker.
3. The City will allow us to divide the subject parcel of land into
these six (6) Lots without our having to design, construct., or pay for any
street improvements. The City will allow the development of one home and
supporting outbuildings per Lot , as per the Protective Covenants, without
the Lot owner having to design, construct, or pay for any street improvements.
Should the Lot owner redevelop said Lot, then that owner shall design and
construct the street improvements as an obligation of the development process.
In the future, should a Forced Special Improvement District be implemented,
then each Lot owner bordering the street included in the Special Improvement
District shall be required to participate in the street improvements as is
customary under the rules and regulations of the City of Fort Collins. The
obligation would be finalized with a development agreement between the
redeveloping land owner and the City.
4. The Provincetowne Channel will need a 50 foot wide easement
from the centerline of the channel and Stanton Creek will need a 65 foot
easement for storm drainage. Per Ted Shephard letter of Dec. 15, 1987.
The City will provide a driveway entran(e complete with a Tile and
paving over the Tile to each of the two remaining Lois that do not presently
have access to LeMay Avenue. These entrances shall be of the same type
and quality of those presently in place.
•
In return for the above mentioned agreements, we will agree to dedicate
to the City of Fort Collins the requested road easements on LeMay and Co. Rd.
32 as specifically spelled out on the Intermill Surveying Blueline Prints
of the plat. We will also grant the 50 foot easement on the Provincetowne
Channel and the 65 foot easement on Stanton Creek as previously mentioned.
Owners of each lot shall retain the right to use any easement
along the Provincvtowne Channel and along Stanton Creek for plantings,
grassing, fencing and other purposes so long as the same do not reasonably
interfere with the flow of water thru Stanton Creek.
Each lot owner shall have access to the South Fort Collins Sanitation
District. Sewer Line whic.•h runs along Stanton Creek, whether on his
individiial lot or by easement across an adjacent lot.
We are enclosing with this application a copy of our Proposed
Protective Covenants which we trust are in compliance with the rules
and regulations of the City of Fort Collins.
We trust this application for a Minor Subdivision will be
processed and approved as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Dickinson
