When I arrived on site a section of street had settled, leaving a hole adjacent to the curb and gutter. Apparently, a section of sewer trench was inadequately compacted, causing the soil to collapse. Additionally, I drove the streets in the 1st filing and have noted some minor settlements at manholes, valve boxes, etc. Following are the items of settlement which need to be repaired: 1. Water line settlement west of mid -block fire hydrant on Hinsdale. East of 824 south side of street. 2. Sanitary sewer manhole settlement just north of Foxhills and Clarendon Drive. 3. Irrigation pipe settlement on Clarendon Hills Drive just south of Ashford Lane. 4. Sanitary sewer service settlement at lot number 4 on east side of Clarendon Hills Drive. 30(1 I.,lf'orte AV('nur • P.O.

College Fort Collins, Co 80524 Dear Bud: Fire Prevention Bureau 102 Remington Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 303-221-6570 303-221-6635 (Fax Number) April 28, 1993 During the plan review of your home on Lot 47 of Clarendon Hills 1st Filing, we found that the driveway location was different from that anticipated when the lot was platted. The building footprint is at the rear of the lot placing it beyond the 150' access requirement of the Fire Code. The driveway access in the rear is not adequate for emergency vehicle access as shown. This combination of building location on the lot, lack of a driveway directly on the street and slope to the building contribute a very difficult firefighting 17d situation. In order to make this comply with the fire code, 'II'I I can offer three alternatives. The first would be to design and construct the rear access drive to the fire access road criteria. This would include a width of 201, a maximum 8% grade, a surface capable of withstanding the imposed loads of a fully loaded fire apparatus and an 80' turnaround. The second would be to provide some type of feature between the building and Clarendon Hills Drive that would allow direct access. This could be a walk, stair or some similar combination. If you want to pursue this option, we will have to meet with our operations personnel to design something that will work. It is entirely possible that this could be designed into the landscaping on this slope. The third option would be to provide residential fire sprinklers which would allow us to waive the normal access requirements.

Colorado 80521 Dear Ms. Kleckner: I own the 10 acres on the corner of South Shields and Fossil Creek directly across from the proposed Ward Smith development on Fossil Creek and Shields. I have been to two of the informational meetings. one attended by my wife at the Voc-Tech Center on Shields and the other at the Applewood Owners Association at the REA building on South College. I have many misgivings about this development and its planned use, in particular the proposed commercial development of Parcel L should not be entertained as a commercial development. Living where I have in the last two years I have seen twelve to fifteen cars during the wintertime slide off the pavement either into our pasture or that corner of Ward Smith's property. I think even with improvements on the road the topography of the land and the speed and conditions that form in that hallow make it an extremely dangerous thought to have high volume or an increased volume of traffic in and out of that corner. whether the entrance be at Fossil Creek or Shields. We have been told that Fossil Creek will not be widened so it appears that South Shields would be the entry point for that commercial development. The obvious rural setting of my property and the entire Applewood area would be greatly changed by any commercial development on that corner. They propose to have residential lots north of that development so it appears to be a very incongruous and afterthought to develop this commercially. My recommendations are that this be left as a green space or open area and no development be allowed at all on that parcel. The development with lighting and curbs and increased access of roads through Fossil Creek again greatly changes our neighborhood's character. the rural atmosphere and horse acreage development of this area. Page Two Elaine Kleckner Community Development Department May 12. 1986 I hope these recommendations are taken with careful study and would be happy to discuss these further in person or by phone. I hope that if this is allowed to be commercially developed a severe restriction on the type of business put in this area would be in order as the descriptions read to me for the two major divisions of commercial development have such a diverse group within each group that the possibility for a completely unacceptable business establishment would be very great in either one of those classifications. I thank you for allowing me to add my input. Sincerely yours. � 0 A. Lee Gordon III. M.D. ALG/ pm P.S. I think that any planning and zoning change or alteration should address itself to the needs and desires of the neighborhood. This project certainly goes against the atmosphere. style of life and character of our neighborhood.

If the proposed Saratoga Drive were continued to the existing Hilldale Drive, a second point of access into a large portion of Applewood Estates could be attained. This would contribute to faster emergency response times into Applewood Estates and reduce the potential of response impairment due to blockage of Fossil Creek Drive. For this reason, the Poudre Fire Authority supports the City's policy of maximizing the opportunities of improving existing transportation networks and emergency response capabilities for all emergency agencies. /cs PROTECTING LIVES & PROPERTY James H.

Box 429 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 (303) 484-6309 This is further information regarding the requested variance to the City of Fort Collins maximum allowable grade for Shields Street in Clarendon Hills. I have researched the 1984 edition of "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 1984" by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials regarding their safety requirements. Chapter VII, Rural and Urban Arterials has a section on grades for urban arterials and a table for maximum grades. I am enclosing a copy of both. You will note their maximum grade for rolling terrain and 50 mile per hour design speed is 7%. A safety factor that the AASHTO policy addresses is the "critical length of grade" which determines whether a loaded truck would have an unreason- able reduction in speed. A 10 mile per hour speed reduction is accept- able and the Shields Street proposed grade would cause approximately a 6 mile per hour reduction. Since Shields Street will be four lanes, after improvements are made, this criteria will be less of a factor. I could not find any discussion of grades in relationship to lack of traction due to icy conditions in the AASHTO policy. All the stopping sight distance criteria are based on wet conditions however. I still feel that the grades we have proposed are justified and that the AASHTO policy safety requirements will be met. Thank you for the opportunity to further argue the case for the proposed arterial street grades. If you have any further questions or comments, please call. Sincerely, JAMES H.

President CITY OF FORT COLLINS MEMORANDUM TO: Bonnie Tripoli, Development Coordinator FROM: Rick Ensdorff, , Traffic Engi neerV`Vr_ DATE: July 9, 1986 RE: Clarendon Hills Off -site Street Improvements J U L 111986 DEPA.RTN*1ENT In reviewing the proposed off -site street improvements for the Clarendon Hills project, 'it is my opinion that their proposal will adequately address their off -site street improvements. Those improvements are the widening of Shields Street from Clarendon Hills Drive north to Harmony Road to approximately 55 feet wide. This additional width will provide for a more smooth cross -flow on Shields Street, given the fact that Shields Street north of Harmony Road has already been widened by previous development. Additionally, a right turn lane for northbound traffic will be added to improve the capacity and operating characteristics of this intersection. This project will also widen Shields Street along their frontage north and south of Clarendon Hills Drive. Curb and gutter will be added on the east side. The Transportation Division will have Shields Street restriped so that there will be adequate turn bays and through lanes adjacent to this new section. In addition, Shields Street will be widened at the intersection of Saratoga. This widening will enable a southbound left turn bay, which will provide for a safer movement for vehicles entering this portion of the new development.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Gary: We have discussed with Jim Newell the City's desire to change the development agreement for Clarendon Hills concerning the scope and design for the offsite street work on Shields to come up with a more cost effective solution consis- tent with its present and near term usage levels. This letter is to state that Clarendon ]sills Associates, Ltd. is in complete agreement with this con- cept and will with due diligence exert genuine efforts towards arriving at a mutually acceptable design solution that is in both of our best interests. We have agreed to first determine the cost of our obligation under the present approved design and then to redesign a 36 foot wide pavement section -with special care given to the access points, that can be achieved within the above determined cost. This work would be paid for by the developer in complete satisfaction of the offsite street requirement. At a later date,when full widening is necessary,the city would be responsible for the entire cost. We will design today with that future widening in mind so that at that time the present improvements would be useable to the greatest extent possible. We are in great need of getting our development agreement signed and plat re- corded so that we can close on our financing and begin work and produce lots by fall. Many of the lots are pre -sold and we have committments that we must meet. Please consider this letter as our agreement to these changes as out- lined briefly above and allow us to quickly move forward with the redesign that is in both of our best interests.
