'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. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 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.
