RE: Vacation of Hilburn Drive
Dear Mr. Postle:
As you are aware, the request for Arapahoe Farm Townhomes does not
require the use of Hilburn Drive, west of Hilburn Court, as
originally envisioned on the O.D.P. 's for Arapahoe Farm and. Regency
Park. This will result in Hilburn Drive being a dead-end and not
needed for public street purposes.
The City of Fort Collins will not allow the dead-end portion of
Hilburn Drive to remain and thus requires the vacation of the
public right-of-way. Vacation of public streets must be approved
by two readings of City Council. According to City Code and state
statute, vacation of a public right-of-way (54 feet) results in
one-half of the affected right-of-way (27 feet) reverting back to
the two adjacent property owners. The procedure for vacating a
public street is outlined in the Development Manual and the
consideration by City Council is coordinated by the Development
Review Center.
In addition to the vacation procedure, the developer of Arapahoe
Farm Townhomes will be required to remove existing pavement, curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. A new sidewalk, curb, and gutter will be
required to be constructed in a north-south direction to connect
the two ends of Hilburn Court.
The developer will also be required to grade the surface and seed
for erosion control. Such grading shall ensure that there are no
low spots and that there is positive drainage out to Hilburn Court.
All affected utilities must be abandon according to the
specifications and procedures of the utility providers. In
particular, the existing fire hydrant must be relocated in
accordance with both Water and Wastewater Utility and Poudre Fire
Authority.

The demolition and removal of existing improvements, and the
grading, seeding, and reconstruction of improvements will be made
part of the utility plans for the Arapahoe Farm Townhomes P.U.D.
If you have any questions regarding vacation of Hilburn Drive. ,
please do not hesitate to call Mike Herzig, Development Review
Engineer, Development Review Center, 221-6750.
