Lincoln Office Center, Suite 300 419 Canyon Fort Collins, CO. 80521 RE: Dickenson Property Dear Mr. Einarsen: The purpose of this letter is provide a summation of the meeting held on December 4, 1987 attended by yourself, Tom Peterson, Ted Shepard, Glen Schlueter, and Matt Baker. It was agreed by the attendees that procedures, terms, and conditions of subdividing the Dickenson property shall occur sub- ject to the following: DRAINAGE TRACTS: It was agreed that the drainage channels for the Provincetowne outfall and Stanton Creek shall be dedicated over to the City as tracts. The Province- towne channel will need 50 feet fron centerline and Stanton Creek will need 65 feet. It was further agreed that the Stormwater Utility Department will grant an easement for the landowner to use the tracts for a period of 15 years for the purpose of watering a small number of livestock. After a period of 15 years, the easement shall be eligible to be negotiated between the landowner and the Stormwater Utility Department for an unspecified num- ber of one year extensions. The exact year of expiration shall be clearly identified to all parties to avoid confusion. During the 15 years of use on the easement, the owners shall agree to main- tain soil stability and natural grasses (or weeds) to prevent erosion and damage to the drainage channels. The City Stormwater Utility shall reserve the right to terminate the ease- ment or require to the owner to stabilize the soils if damage from livestock occurs. OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, PLANNING • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221-6750 Harold Einarsen Letter December 15, 1980 Page 2 • The City prefers natural channels as much as possible. The volume of storm flows from Provincetowne, however, are still being studied. Therefore, the high water line is undetermined at this point. The City would like to reserve the right to use riprap on the Provincetowne channel to accommodate the 100-year runoff to protect the channel and prevent erosion. The City would also reserve the right to maintain the drainage channels. RIGHT-OF-TAAY DEDICATIONS: The proposed plat would have to show additional right-of-way dedication along the entire frontage of Lemay Avenue. The plat would also have to show additional right-of-way dedication along County Road #32 with the exception of the lot which contains the existing home. This lot would have to dedi- cate right-of-way if redevelopment (building a new home) were to occur. A building permit would not be issued for a new home on this lot unless addi- tional right-of-way for County Road #32 were dedicated to the City. STREET IMPROVEMENTS: The City will allow Mr. Dickenson to plat six lots or less without having to design or construct street improvements. The City will allow the develop- ment of one home per lot without having to design or constrict street improvements. All owners of land within the proposed subdivision would have to agree to participate in a future Special Improvement District should one be formed to improve the streets. Or, should the lots redevelop, without an S.I.D., then each owner of the redeveloped lots shall design and construct the street improvements as an obligation of the development process. This obligation would be finalized with a development agreement between the redeveloping land owner and the City. WETLANDS AREA: The City, through the Department of Natural Resources and the Stornwater Utility, may be interested in preserving the wetlands area. The owner may consider dedicating the wetlands area to the City as a tract. Tn return, the owner would be relieved from paying taxes and may enjoy the benefit of a natural habitat that could not be built on. COUNTY ROAD #32 IMPROVEMENTS: The culvert and street improvements for County Road #32 are under the juris- diction of Larimer County. Mr. Rex Burns has been in contact with the developers of Provincetowne (Dueck Company) regarding future improvements to Road #32. There may be the formation of a special improvement district in which Mr. Dickenson would be eligible to participate. Harold Einarsen Letter December 15, 19870 Page 3 • MINOR SUBDIVISION PROCESS: I have been in contact with Intermill Land Surveying and will be _glad to meet with Mark Paige regarding the plat document. It is anticipated that the review will be approximately four weeks. Tn order to spell out the obligations and restrictions, I will suggest that plat contain notes as well as dedications so that future landowners and title companies can be made aware of details. It is my hope that this information will assist you and your client in obtaining a legal subdivision plat through this new minor subdivision pro- cess. If there are any questions or concerns on any of the issues, please call and I will coordinate with the appropriate staff person.
