RE: ENGINEERING REQUEST –PRIVATE UTILITY CROSSING OF PUBLIC ROW
PROSPECT SPORTS CLUB –1600 EAST PROSPECT ROAD
PROJECT NUMBER:U22014
The development of the Prospect Sports Club site at 1600 East Prospect Road within Prospect Park East P.U.D is surrounded
by existing fully developed commercial properties to the south (Advanced Energy) and west (Larimer County Coroner) along
with Prospect Road and Sharp Point to the north and east respectively. The original subdivision development planned for
drainage to be conveyed via overland flow to the drainage facility located south of the site; therefore, no storm sewer
currently exists on the site. However, the original subdivision plat did not include drainage easements on the property to
allow for the conveyance of 100-year stormwater runoff from the site, across the property to the south and to the existing
drainage facility. After discussion with the south property owner and their attorney, the southern property owner has denied
any new easements on their property making access to the existing detention facility unfeasible. Through discussions with
the City Stormwater Department, storm sewer for the project is now planned to convey developed stormwater flows from
the site and to the east, across Sharp Point, and to an existing pond on private property east of Sharp Point that is also owned
by the developer of the Prospect Sports Club facility. This solution allows for necessary drainage improvements for the
development and avoids the need for drainage easements south of the site; however, a private crossing of Sharp Point with
the private storm sewer is required. Note that the crossing of Sharp Point Drive is being made perpendicular to the public
right-of-way.
On behalf of the owners of the Prospect Sports Club and the design team, we request that the City allows the private utility
crossing of Sharp Point Drive and we thank you for your consideration of this request. If you should have any questions or
comments regarding this request, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.
