He felt that there was some question as to whether or not the city would have anv responsibility for the adverse effects of this run off. The adverse effects which were brought to life by the the property owners along Spring Creek east of Taft Hill and south of Drake were: 1. the increased pollutants from insecticides, or petroleum residues from vehicles and asphalt, 2. the increased volume of flow in Spring Creek and 3. the possible increase in ground water which could change the type of vegetation which might grow on the land thereby affecting its use as pastural land and/or other agricultural usages. Art suggested that we contact Mort Pittinger and Associates concerning the effects of the quality of runoff and the amount of ground water. There has been a meeting set up for next tuesday morning (6/29/76) at 9:00 am for that purpose, runoff, streamflow and the quality of water.

The revision is requested due to trench depths exceeding 12 feet. The contractor feels that the trench bottom should be widened due to this depth and we concur. We are therefore submitting a revised original of Sheet No. 25 of 34, Sewer Details, for your approval. The revised trench configuration will provide approximately 70% more cross -sectional area and therefore greater drain volume. We would appreciate your prompt attention as the contractor would like to proceed as soon as possible. If you should have any questions or require further information, please advise.

Collins, CO 80526 Re: Soils Report for Brown Farm, 3rd Filing Dear Mr. Tindall:: Enclosed is the `oils Report for Brown Farm, 3rd Filing. It shows the groundwater elevations encountered at various test borings and also recommends that certain procedures be followed regarding basements, foundation protection, etc. Apparently, no groundwater was encountered at the depths of borings #1 and 13 at the time the borings were taken. When I told Landmark Engineering (who took over Hogan & Olhausen) that I thought this was odd, given the adjacent irrigation canal, the response was that "he had seen stranger things happen" and that the absence could be due to the sandy soils. If seepage into your basement gets to be particularly bad, you may wish to have a soils engineering firm advise you about what can be done - sump pump, foundation treatment, subdrains, etc. Please let me know if I can be of further help.

Box 519 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Sir: We are sending you the developer's copy of the plat of the Brown Farm, Third Filing and the related utility agreement between the City of Fort. Collins and Wheeler Realty. The plat of the Brown Farm, Third Filing was conditionally approved by the Fort Collins City Council on April 1, 1975. The City's Engineering Office has informed us that all conditions have been met, effective February 10, 1976. Our office kill have the final approved plat recorded at the office of the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder within 30 days from the date the plat was signed by the City Clerk. If you have any questions, please contact either my office or the Engineering Services Department. Enclosures (2) cc: Engineering Services ✓ MAJ/lm Very tru _yours, Verna Lewis City Clerk, C.M.C. 100% Recycled Bond February 1.3, 1976 TO: Robert L. Brunton, City Manager FROM: Roy A. Binpman, Director of Engineering Services RE Brown Farm Subdivision The Brown Farm Subdivision was originally developed with single family lots which incorporated several features which were then unique in a standard subdivision. These were: the use of limited open space areas to be used as major drainage ways, community center_ facilities (swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis counts), and a home- owners association to operate and maintain these facilities. Tho type of biomes which were built in this area were generally moderate to low priced Homes for single family units. For this type of housing there is apparently little _interest on the part of the homeowners for pool and clubhouse type facilities and the costs that go with them. By dropping the plans for these facilities, the only reason for the existence of the homeowners' association is for the maintenance of the limited open space areas within the development. This, of course, is little reason for the continuance of the homeowners' association from the point of view of the homeowners. There would appear to be little the City could do legally to enforce the continuance of the association for the purpose of maintaining the limited open areas. We are recommending that the City accept several areas for low level maintenance under the following conditions: 1. The drainage way which traverses the area from west to east. This was originally intended to be BO' in width and to serve as a combination open area and drainage way. This would he reduced to 45' in width which accomodate the larger runoff from the development and would be maintained on a loci level basis without sprinkling. This is consistent with maintenance the City will be performing along other drainage ways in similar areas. 2. The bike path which was originally to follow the major drainage way was relocated south to provide a better connection with Stuart Street east of Taft Hill Road and to provide access to the park and junior high school. The route of the bike path would be maintained by the City on a low level basis which is con- sistent with other areas. 3. The grassed area adjacent to Taft Hill Road would be maintained by the City on a low level basis. This is consistent with other areas along arterial streets and other parts of. the City. A number of dedication deeds have been Prepared to transfer the areas as outlined from the homeowners' association and from Wheeler Realty to accomplish the above. Art March and I have reviewed these dedication deeds and recommend acceptance by the City. Y „ . t.

In turn, you notified your contractor that this practice was not acceptable and should he stopped. Yesterday we made a site inspection of Manchester, Ramboui_llet, and Berkshire and found indications that this una-cceptable. material was used as fill throughout the area. We cannot accept these roadways or any other roadways we find in similar condition until such time as all unacceptable fill material is stripped and removed from the site.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80521 re: Environmental Impact Statement Brown Farm Subdivision (third filing, Fort Collins, CO) Dear Mr. Bingman: This letter is to protest the development of a storm sewer in the above named subdivision in such a manner that it will drain into Spring Creek, a live stream, approximately 100 yards above my property boundary. There are several points of concern, they are: 1) The natural drainage is being changed so that "run off" from the addition will be entering Spring Creek approximately one mile above the natural drainage pattern. 2) This change in drainage will result in a marked increase in flow during heavy rains increasing the risk of property damage along Spring Creek by flooding. 3) The change in water level in Spring Creek resulting from the construction of the storm sewer as planned, may result in increasing or decreasing the water table of land adjacent to Spring Creek causing damage to sub -irrigated pasture lands along the creek. 4) Contamination of Spring Creek by bacterial and foreign substances will increase greatly as the result of the storm sewer drainaye of an area to be occupied by several thousand people. For the above sited reasons, I request that the developer of this subdivision be required to provide drainage of the subdivision along the natural drainage course to prevent damage to the property directly below the proposed site of discharge of the storm sewer.
