Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Kerrie; It appears that a number of statements in your November 30th letter regarding the westerly section of Hilburn Drive are not correct. We are well aware of the statements you and Mike Herzig made at conceptual review. You should also recall we stated at the same conceptual review meeting that we did not agree that it was this property owner's responsibility to remove the portion of Hilburn Drive in question. - On July 12, 1993 a request for an administrative change for Milestone Drive in the Sunstone PUD was made. This request was denied on the basis that the City of Fort Collins never allows streets to be stubbed to the rears of lots as requested without a public turn around at the end. When I asked you about the stub at Hilburn, you replied that that situation was a mistake. - According to G. T. Land, the Hilburn street stub was not specifically planned in coordination with them. Their understanding was only that Arapahoe Farm would have the option (not the obligation) to connect to Hilburn. It was not communicated to them that Arapahoe Farm would be required to vacate and demolish Hilburn if the connection were not made. G. T. was also surprised that Hilburn was redesigned and reconstructed "so that grades would work properly for the street to be extended onto the G. T. parcel" when the finished street stub sits more than three feet below the existing grade at Arapahoe. The bottom line is that a portion of Hilburn Drive that should not have been built, has been completed with Regency Park. It is City Staff's position the developer of the adjacent property is responsible for the vacation and removal of the subject street. The adjacent property owner and the developer do not agree.
