Lear Mr. Ghent.
The City has received the proposed building plans for
the car wash building at the northwest corner of your property.
In approving this site for the car wash - service station,
it is my understanding that the City Council included the
stipulation that the curb and gutter and paving be installed
on Mason Street adjacent to the length of your property.
Before we issue the building permit, we should have a utility
plan for 'this curbiug and paving to confirm the City Council's
requirement.
Sincerely,
Boy A. Bingman
City Engineer

SU&JECT: Dedication of Drake Road at the Ghent Property West of
College Avenue.
There is a provision on the above mentioned plat which reads as follows:
This plat to be known as ��nd do hereby
. .
dedicate and convey foreve erea by
the streets and alleys
as laid out and designated on the plat and do also hereby
dedicate perpetual easements for the installation and main-
tenance of underground utilities as laid out upon this plat,
except that the street on Drake Road is not dedicated hereby
and said street is hereby reserved for a period of twenty
years from the date hereof. The condition of the reservation
is that, if at anytime during said twenty years the City of
Fort Collins as its sole determination finds it necessary to
widen Drake Road, so much of said area as needed for the
installation of street, curb, gutter and sidewalk and lights
shall thereupon be deemed dedicated for such purpose. Any
portion not used after twenty years shall revert to the then
owner of the adjoining land free of this reservation.
There is no sidewalk on the south side of Drake Road, and with the
advent of K--Mart this sidewalk will be needed. Perhaps the City Council
should determine that this additional 20 feet is needed and that a line
be painted clown for separation of the parking area from the sidewalk area.
This is particularly important since Frank Ghent did literally blackmail
us for $250 for the privilege of putting in a power pole in this area last
summer. We paid the $250 because it was cheaper to pay him than it was
to take him to court and involve our contractor in the delay.
