The changes proposed for the master plan are as follows: 1. The project name has been changed to Brittany Knolls PUD. 2. Phase I and II of the original master plan indicated mobile home use and proposed 282 lots. The revised master plan changes the land use to single family housing, divided into three phases, totaling 213 lots. 3. The out parcel in the northeast corner of the site is now included and will be developed as part of the project. 4. Brittany Street, adjacent to the neighborhood center, exists and will not change. The local streets, however, have been redesigned. The site is located at the northwest corner of Lemay Avenue and Trilby Road. The City's South Side Service Center borders the property along the west edge, while Huntington Hills PUD, Portner Reservoir and the proposed Fossil Creek Park are located to the north. Provincetowne master plan pro- poses 60 acres of manufactured housing and 13 acres of apartments to be located along Trilby Road south of Brittany Knolls PUD. The property along Lemay to the east is presently unplanned. The topography of the land is significant, ranging from a high point in the southwest corner at elevation 4960 ft. to a low point in the northwest corner at elevation 4905 ft.. A ridge line runs parallel and about 200 feet west of the east property line. The topography falls generally to the east and west of this ridge line, with moderate slopes averaging 6-7%.

The — maintenance of a temporary patch in the right-of-way is solely the contractors responsibility. Connell Resources was called several times and told that the patch needed attention. It is not uncommon for a temporary patch to require several reconditionings. It is our policy to have the street repair done in a permanent manner as soon as possible. However, during the winter months asphalt plants are closed and the contractor has the option to use a temporary material to patch the surface. If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6605.

The design as presented in the report is acceptable for the asphalt on base alternatives (Options 1 and 2). The asphalt pavement with no base alternative (Option 3) is not acceptable. We would require more testing and more discussions on the soil conditions to prove that Option 3 could be acceptable. Your engineer made a statement in his letter that an R-value of 5 was "arbitrarily used" to design the pavement sections. Your engineer suggested that R-value of 5 to the City rather than resort to additional tests to confirm their 12.9 value. We agreed to their proposal. Other references made by your engineer regarding the expansive soil concerns of the City, imply that the City believes that the soils are highly expansive. Our general knowledge of the area on other projects have had expansive soil problems. Your engineer's tests and his presentation of the results were not adequate for us to agree that no expansive soils exist that could affect the streets. One last concern that will be watched in the field during construction, has to do with stability. The high percentage of fines, particularly the silts, in the soils can be unstable even after compaction. Proof roling of the compacted subgrade prior to laying the base course will be required to make sure the subgrade is stable. If the recompacted subgrade is not stable, special treatment may be necessaty. Our inspector in the field will work with your contractor to make that determination. 281 Xorth College Avenue • P.O.

Phase I includes 90 lots, averaging 6500 to 7000 square feet, scheduled to be built this year. 123 lots in Phase II and III are scheduled to be ready within three years, for a total of 213 single family lots. Streets are designed to follow existing contours, connect logically into existing and future street patterns and to establish interesting street- scapes. The developer is proposing 36 foot wide streets, except for cul-de-sac streets, which will be 28 feet wide. Pedestrian circulation is via attached sidewalks along both sides of all streets. Landscaping proposed as part of Phase I includes irrigated turf and street trees along Lemay Avenue, Trilby Road and Brittany Street. In addition, a generous green buffer will be established along Lemay Avenue which includes irrigated turf, approximately one hundred deciduous, evergreen and ornamen- tal trees, along with significant shrub massings. For your convenience, we have listed the city land use policies supported by the proposed plan. 12. Urban density residential development usually at three or more units to the acre should be encouraged in the urban growth area. 14. Urban development standards shall apply to all development within the urban growth area. 15. Development in the urban growth area should be consistent with deve- lopment policies set forth in this plan. 22. Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development propo- sals which are contiguous to existing development within the city limits or consistent with the phasing plan for the City's urban growth area. 24. All utility extensions should be in conformance with the phased uti- lity expansion portion of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 63. Neighborhood service centers should locate within walking distance of existing oar planned residential areas. 65. Neighborhood service centers shall locate in areas served by existing water or sewer facilities or consistent with the phasing plan for the urban growth area. .r Planning and ;Zoning Board Members September 29, 1986 Page Three 67. Only neighborhood scale service centers will be allowed in residential neighborhoods. 78. Residential development should be directed into areas which reinforce the phasing plan in the urban growth area. 79. Low density residential uses should locate in areas: a. Which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers; b. Which have easy access to major employment centers; c. Within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary schooll; d. Within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park and within easy access to a community park; and e. In which a collector street affords the primary access. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to your review.

Cherry St. Suite 1050 Denver, CO 80222 ATTN: Mac McIntire RE: Pavement Design/Brittany Knolls Dear Mac: Enclosed is the Supplemental Pavement Design letter prepared for this project on February 13, 1984. It was based on the existing Ft. Collins requirements at that time. As you are aware, however, the minimum pavement thickness for the City of Ft. Collins has been revised. As of July, 1986 the minimum allowable thickness of asphaltic concrete for resi- dential streets is 3". At the present time, all of thu streets being developed in Brittany Knolls which include Compton, an unnamed cul-de-sac, and Edgeware qualify as residential streets. However, Mr. David Klockeman of the City of Ft. Collins has provided us with LDLA values for these various streets which have been used in the redesign presented below. The 18k EDLA for the cul-de-sac is 5, for Compton is 10, and for Edgeware is 15. Given those values and the minimum pavement thickness recom- mendation, we now furnish the following thickness recommen- dations: 1. Residential cul-de-sac with design traffic number of 5, 3" of asphaltic concrete, 7-1/2" of aggregate base course. 2. Local residential streets with design traffic number 10, 3" of asphaltic concrete, 9" of aggregate base course. 3. Local residential street with design traffic number 15, 3" of asphaltic concrete, 10" of aggregate base course. Main Office 2300 West Eisenhower Blvd. Loveland, Colorado 80537 Dale D.
