Home My WebLink AboutCENTRE FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PUD SECOND - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2003-07-07NC Engineering Consultants 2900 South College Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 303/226-4955 February 5, 1987 Mr. Tom Gathmann City of Fort �ollins P.O. Box 570 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE REPORT FOR THE CENTRE FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SECOND FILING Dear Tom: This second filing of the Centre for Advanced Technology is lo- cated in the northeast corner of the future intersection of Cen- ter Avenue and Shields Street. The north boundary of this site is the New Mercer Ditch. The property is located in the South- west Quarter of Section 23, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. The site currently is covered with natural Colorado field gras- ses which slopes to the northeast at about 1%. Along with the New Mercer Di`ch that borders to the north, a small irrigation ditch meande-�s through the property. When fully developed this property will consist of business/office buildings, parking areas and landscaped areas (see plan). Using the most current City of Fort Collins criteria, and the ra- tional formula a 2 year historic maximum release rate was calcu- lated to be 1.14 cfs. With this release rate, a required pond volume of 0.64 acre-feet was determined (see Supplementary Cal- culation sheet). The pond and preliminary site grading are shown on the attached drainage plan. The pond grading shown may be modified for final submittal. The pond will temporarily dis- charge into an overland swale which will direct flows into the Center Avenue storm drain proposed in the Centre for Advanced Technology Special Improvement District.

With the development of the adjacent property, C.A.T. 2nd Filing, the utility contractor made his connection at the existing manhole and proceeded to install the remaining sewer line. However, it has now come to our attention ghat the section of line installed by the Hall -Irwin crew has a low spot between Manhole Number 2 and 2A, which causes the C.A.T. 2nd Filing flows to backup before outletting into the mainline system. As this section is prohibiting the C.A.T. 2nd Filing sewer system from functioning as it should, I ask for your cooperation in correcting the section of line installed by your crew. Fortunately, the low area appears to be in the first two joints of pipe from Manhole 2 which should simplify the repair. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6605. Sincerely, David Stringer Chief Construction Inspector Attachment 100 LaPorte :Avenue • P.O.

Cole Project Engineer MEMORANDUM LS ' TO: Development Team Mike Davis, Tom Peterson, Felix Lee, Gary Diede, Rick EnsdorfP_11' G r FROM: Linda Hopkins, Economic Development Administrator RE: CSURF/'Centre for Advanced Technology The Centre for Advanced Technology (CAT) was the subject of our first Development Team meeting. It exemplifies the type of project proper for the policy analysis and review by the team. The timing is a bit out of sync, since the project has been the topic of considerable staff work for nearly two years. Policy issues were noted in our discussion with Mr. Everitt, Mr. Hutchinson, 14r. Zakely and Mrs. Liley. Items requiring additional work included: - A revised Master Plan to be submitted by CSURF/Everitts to establish baseline parameters of the future development. - Potential and existing development within the general area of the Centre to be prepared by the Planning staff. The analysis of development by guadrants will assist in evaluating the timing and construction of the required traffic and street improvements. - Storm drainage options are also being prepared by the City staff. The extent and variety of development planned for the Centre, associated public improvements, and the -likelihood that the construction and development will occur over 15 to 20 years; suggests that City staff might consider a modified approach to the standard develo t a Bement to accammo ie business developmen opportunities, University and CSURF requirements and market changes. The University of Colorado and the City of Boulder have recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (attached) which outlines specific obligations of both the City and the University to facilitate the development of C.U.'s research park. The Master Agreement approach is somewhat similar to the declarations set forth in the City's Master Agreement with Anheuser-Busch. The precedent exists and may offer a useful approach to both the scope of development proposed at the Centre and as a mechanism to establish realistic community expectations for the long term. The Boulder agreement is very general and may not serve as a good model for Fort Collins, however, the example is instructive. The Boulder experience is not without very obvious hazards which would suggest some caution. The attached copies of newspaper articles from the Boulder and Denver papers particularly note the opposition of the adjacent neighborhoods. The LAGS process offers opportunities to address neighborhood concerns earlier in the development review. The attached are for review and discussion.

Box 570 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 HE: CENTRE FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, SECOND FILING Dear Susan: On February 26, 1987 we received your comments on the C.A.T. Second Filing construction drawings. This letter is written to clarify our position on the offsite flows from the detention pond. The areas to the northeast and east of the Second Filing are undeveloped. The layout of these areas when developed will determine the routing of outfall flows from this site to storm drain facilities in Center Avenue. At this time the owners of these areas, Everitt Companies, have not committed to any par- ticular layout. The storm drain in Center Avenue has been sized to handle the 1.14 cfs from the pond. Everitt Companies is aware of the proposed swale which will begin at the detention pond out - fall and be graded to daylight and then meander through open fields until it becomes part of the flows onto Center Avenue which ultimately enters Spring Creek. For 1--he reasons stated above it is our position that our con- struct=ion plans are sufficient for construction of C.A.T., Second Filing. If you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, RBD, Inc.
