Dear Mr. Olt:
Larimer Co., S.H. 287
Mourning - 1st Bank
N.W. Corner S.H. 287
and Foothills Drive,
Fort Collins
We have reviewed the Mourning. Subdivision plans for the 1st Bank and we
have the following comments:
Access to the development from the frontage road, as proposed, will require
that an Access Permit be issued.by the City of Fort Collins as the issuing
authority. That permit must be in reasonable conformance to the State
Highway Access Code. It is suggested that the direct access to Foothills
Drive that is proposed on the eastern side of the development be located
as far as possible from the frontage road to prevent any queuing that would
impede -the operation of the intersection of the frontage goad and Foothills
Drive. It is also noted that the parking space,immediately north of the
access to Foothills Drive could possibly impede traffic entering that access
and cause a queuing into the street.
It appears that the drainage from the development will enter the state
highway drainage system. That system is for the protection of the state
highway right of way and is not intended to accommodate drainage from abutting
properties beyond that which has historically been accepted. Therefore,
we ask that on 'site detention of surface run-off be provided so that the
historical run-off rate will not be exceeded due to this development.
The plan indicates that a new utility line or connection is proposed within
the state highway right of way. Prior to any such utility work, Mr. Lloyd
Johnson of this office should be contacted at 350-2164 regarding the need
for a Utility Permit.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. Please contact
me at 350-2163 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
i� D6
