Lincoln Office Center 419 Canyon, Suite 300 Fort Collins, CO. 80521 Dear Harold, This letter is to follow up our conversation of April 5, 1988 and to help resolve the issues which remain on Emerson Acres. The City is willing to add language to the plat and the development agreement that would allow the easements for the 100-year floodplain for both the Pro- vincetowne channel and Stanton Creek to be reduced should channclization occur. Such channclization would have to be of sufficient specifications to convey the 100-year storm. The following plat note is submitted for your review: "The City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility will allow the easements that are shown on this plat describing the 100-year floodplain for both the Province- towne channel and Stanton Creek to be adjusted accordingly should channcliza- tion of these casements result in a reduced 100-year floodplain." Regarding your concern about the conveyance of storm flows in Stanton Creek across your northerly property line, Glen Schlueter, Storm Drainage Engineer, has reported that the neighboring property would not be allowed to develop in any manner that would affect either upstream or downstream adjacent property owners. Any impacts on adjacent property would have to be preceded by per- mission from that property owner. In fact, the neighboring property owner has retained the services of an engineering consulting firm who's representatives have contacted Glen Schlueter about development. It is Glen's understanding that this firm will design a storm drainage system that will accept all historic upstream flows without causing any back flow onto Emerson Acres. • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221.6750 OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, PLANNING Page 2 • 0 Regarding your concern about the fire hydrant, I contacted Mr. Dean Hill, Operations Supervisor of the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District. There is a 20 inch diameter water pipe in Lemay Avenue that would serve as the water supply. The first step would be to contact the District by letter requesting permission to tap the line. It would then be the landowner's responsibility to hire a contractor to design the installation. These installation plans must be reviewed by the District. The contractor, not the District, then performs the work. The installation is then inspected by the District. Mr. Hill further explained that the 20 inch water line is located in the western portion of Lemay Avenue. Access to the line would likely have to be done by boring as opposed to a pavement cut due to the new asphalt. The cost of a typical hydrant is approximately $1,500. Design, materials, and labor is roughly estimated at approximately $3,000 for a total cost of approximately $4,500. Regarding the separate ownership of Lot 6, please inform Intermill Land Sur- veying that a signature block must be added to the document to include this owner. Regarding Mr. Dickinson's request for the S.I.D. to riprap the Provincetowne channel to a point where the old 12 inch tile pipe terminated, Mr. Matt Baker responded by asking that the request be put in writing. The request should state specifically that the owner grants permission to do the work. Mr. Baker stated that the request will be evaluated based on the financial ability of the S.I.D. to perform additional work. Regarding Mr. Dickinson's concern about the to do improvements to County Road #32, N require the creation papers to be amended 1 which must be approved by City Council. P Staff would support such an amendment at sion that Dueck Company may be discussing with Larimer County, not the City. Dueck Company using S.I.D. funds Baker responded that this would authorize a reallocation of funds r. Baker expressed doubt that City ais time. It is Mr. Baker's impres- improvements to County Road #32 This concludes the summation of our meeting on April 5, 1988. Please contact me if further clarification is needed or if this summation does not meet with your understanding.
