The t-n�of £oundation elevations were set based on the water surface elevations for the runoff for existing conditions according to the "West Vine Drainage Basin Major Drainageway Plan" by Engineering Professionals, Inc., and dated December 1980, It is not the Citv of Fort Collins' intention to prohibit construction in the Granada Heights Subdivision. The City had the study made to determine the amount of runoff that must be routed through the development and to facilitate setting, foundation elevations that will protect the structures.

Please contact Mr. Bob Smith, the Assistant City Engineer, Storm Drainage, at 484-4220, extension 728. No Certificate of occupancy will be considered until Mr. Smith approves it. 2) All sidewalks shall be installed along the Aztec Street and Vine Drive frontage of this lot. -128 3) Street signs shall be installed. 4) Telephone, electrical and gas service lines shall be installed underground and shall be in place prior to street paving. 5) Street lights shall be installed as required. 6) Because the building site plan shows 6-feet of Lot #2 dedicated to Lot #1, legal documentation showing this should be on file in the Engineering office. All survey monuments for this lot shall be installed. 7) Vine Drive shall be paved from the west property line of the lot to the east side of Aztec Drive, including a taper to this widened portion as directed by the City Engineer to meet arterial street standards. Aztec Street shall be paved from Vine Drive to the north side of the driveway which services this lot full width. Those portions of Aztec Drive, Pomona Street and Hanna Street to be used to meet the Fire Department turn around requirements shall be improved with at least the gravel base installed as directed by the City Engineer. 8) Barricades and warning devices shall be installed as directed by the City Engineer. 9) All other improvements required as a condition of the plat shall be completed as directed by the City Engineer. I hope that this answers your questions, however, please feel free to call me at 484-4220, extension 728, if you require more information. a Sin rely, tt Baker Construct n/inspector ENGINEERING DIVISION March 1, 1982 Mr. Jerry Herr Micheal, Baker Jr., Inc. P.O. Box 3225 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105 Re: FEMA approval of the floodplain delineation at Granada Heights Subdivision in the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Dear Mr. Herr, After our discussion over the telephone in January, 1982 about the previous submittal for Granada Heights, you had indicated that no information had been received by your office even though this material had been sent to Mr. John Liou of FEMA's Denver office on August 10, 1981. Apparently the submittal was lost between the Denver office and your office and therefore we are resubmitting the information directly to you in order to facilitate a speedier response. The following is a brief explanation on why this submittal is necessary. A request for F11A and VA financing for Granada Heights was sent to HUD and Mr. Rich March of HCID replied on March 19, 1981 that because more than 10% of the subdivision is located within the floodplain of the West Vine Drainage Basin, the subdivision does not qualify for HUD/FHA participation. Marc Engemoen of this office wrote a letter to Mr. March explaining the status and purpose of the West Vine Drainage Basin Study which was prepared for the City by Engineering Professionals, Inc. and in return HUD has requested that FEMA give their approval before HUD will comply. Hence the following is submitted for your review and approval: 1) 1 copy of Mr. March's Final Report on Application for Environmental Assessment 2) 1 copy of Mr. EngemoenIs reply as to the status and purpose of the West Vine Drainage Basin Study 3) 1 copy of the West Vine Drainage Basin Study prepared by Engineering Professionals, Inc. for the City of Fort Collins 4) 4 copies of the HEC-II printouts, 1 each for reach A, B, C and D 5) 1 copy of the floodplain delineation as it relates to the Granada Heights subdivi.son. Please note that this floodplain delineation is based on the enclosed study and not on any FIA flood Boundary and Floodway Maps. Mr. Jerry Herr Page Two The City of Fort Collins has reviewed the enclosed and feel the material is satisfactory and meets with our approval. At this time we foresee no reason why the development cannot continue as requested. If you have any questions, please call as we would like this matter taken care of as soon as possible. Sincerely, Philip G. Waite, E.I.T. Civil Engineer I - Storm Drainage Encs. cc: John Liou Mike Schmid r �,,AGY ®5 m w Federal Emergency Management Agency 4- Washington, D.C. 20472 Mr. Philip G. Waite City of Fort Collins, P. 0. Box 580 OR 9 1982 Engineering Division Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Mr. Waite: This is in response to your letter of March 1, 1982, Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determine whether Fort Collins, Colorado, recorded as Reception Number 414, in the Office of the Recorder, Larimer County, the Special Flood Hazard Area. IN REPLY REFER TO: SL-NT-NH (218) requesting that the Federal Plat of Granada Heights, 323945 in Book 1981, Page Colorado, is located within On March 15, 1982, we received all technical data necessary to process your request. We have reviewed the Flood Insurance Rate Map in light of this data and have determined that Lots 7 through 12, 15 through 17, and 19, of the above -mentioned property are not within the Special Flood Hazard Area as shown on the FEMA Map Nt,mber H%I 080101 Pane} 01789; therefore, flood insurance would not be required for any structures located on these lots. These lots are in Zone C, which is an area outside the limits of the 500-year flood. Flood insurance is available in Zone C at low cost. If flood insurance was purchased as a requirement of direct Federal or federally - related financial assistance for the above mentioned property, a full refund of the premium paid for the current policy year may be obtained from the servicing agent of the National Flood Insurance Program, through the particular insurance agent or broker who sold the policy, provided that no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy in question during the same policy year. In order to facilitate the procedure by which eligible property owners may obtain a refund of premium, a written waiver or certificate must be obtained from the lender that imposed the requirement. Their certification will be required by your insurance agent if he is to process the premium refund request through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Lots 1, 3 through 6, 13, 14, 18, 20 through 23, and 25 through 39, of the above -mentioned property would be partially inundated by a flood having a one - percent chance of occurrence in any given year (base flood). A final determi- nation as to whether the proposed structures for these lots would be located in the Special Flood Hazard Area cannot be made at this time. However, a final determination will be made upon receiving certified "as -built" information showing the locations of the structures, the elevations of the lowest finished grades adjacent to the structures, and the elevations of the lowest floor, including basement. If it is determined that the structures are not located within the Special Flood Hazard Area, then flood insurance will not be required. P. G. Waite -2- Based on the data supplied by you, the structures would not be located within the Special Flood Hazard Area if construction is completed as proposed on the Granada Heights, Grading Plan, prepared by James H. Stewart and Associates, Consulting Engineers, dated April 6, 1980. The final determination will be based on this data unless future additional flood data becomes available indicat- ing otherwise. Lots 2 and 24 and Tracts A, B, and C, of the above -mentioned property are partially within the Special Flood Hazard Area; therefore, flood insurance Would be required for any structures located on these lots which are in the Special Flood Hazard Area. The plan entitled, "100 yr. Floodplains for Granada Heights Subdivision", Sheets 1 of 1, prepared by Engineering Professionals, Inc., dated July 17, 1981, indicates that portions of the above -mentioned property are above FEMA's best estimate of the 100-year flood (5013.5 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) at the east property line to 5004.0 feet NGVD at the west property line). However, since the purchase of flood insurance is not required for unimproved land, a conditional determination on the flood insurance purchase requirements cannot be made at this time. If data is submitted to shoal that the lowest floor, including basement, and the lowest adjacent grade of any proposed structures are at or above the 100-year base flood elevation, FEMA will issue a Conditional Letter of Map Amendment. This determination is based on the best flood data available at the present time. The detailed Flood Insurance Study for the City of Fort Collins is cur- rently being revised and data could be generated which may tend to modify the data used in making this determination. When the revised Flood Insurance Study becomes effective, it will supersede this letter of map amendment. The Federal requirement for the purchase of flood insurance will be based on the then effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The above stated results of your request for exemption from the Federal require- ment for the purchase of flood insurance are based on minimum criteria established by FEMA for flood plain management regulations and are intended only to reflect your status in relation to the Federal requirement for the purchase of insurance. Community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of human safety, may set higher standards for construction in the flood plain than the minimum criteria established by FEMA. If the State of Colorado or the City of Fort Collins has adopted more restrictive and comprehensive flood plain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum federal criteria for the purpose of regulating development in the flood plain. This policy is set forth in Section 6O.1(d) of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations. This conditional letter of map amendment does not relieve Federal agencies of the need to comply with Executive Order 11988 on Floodplain Management in carrying out their responsibilities for providing federally undertaken, financed, or assisted construction and improvements or in their regulating or licensing activities. P. G. Waite -3- This determination has the effect of amending the FEMA Map Number H&I 080101 Panel 0178B and will be published in the Federal Register as soon as possible. The City of Fort Collins, Larimer County and the State Coordinating Agency are being provided with copies of this letter of determination. A copy will also be forwarded to our servicing representative for insurance policies and claims at the following address: National Flood Insurance Program P. 0.

Box 1149 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Re: Granada Heights P.U.D. Manufactured Housing Encroachment Dear Mr. Odau: I have recently been informed that the manufactured housing units currently stored in the Granada Heights development are creating a safety hazard. Upon my visual inspection of the site, I found some units had fallen off their blocking and were leaning precariously against one another. In addition, it appears people have been trying to or been in several units. It is our concern that some type of accident could occur, either by fire or bodily injury to children or whomever is around these units. Please be informed that all units currently stored on the public rights -of -way are to be removed immediately. The Code of the City of Fort Collins allows ten (10) days for the removal of encroachments from the date of receipt of this notice. In addition, it states that the City has the right to remove such encroachments if it is not removed within the ten (10) days and the incurred costs to be assessed to the person causing the encroachment. Once again, please be informed that this is an official notification to remove the manufactured housing units currently being stored on the public rights -of -way in the Granada Heights development. These encroachments must be removed within test (10) days from receipt of this notification. 300 LaPorte Ave. • PO- Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221 6605 Larry Odau August 3, 1988 Page 2 Thank you in advance for taking care of this situation and if you have any questions, please contact me at 221-6605.

Box 1149 Fort Collins, Colorado Re: Granada Heights Subdivision Dear Larry: The intent of this letter is to clarify our conversation of August 16, 1986. As we discussed yesterday the City Engineer's office will require the completion of the public improvements to Vine Drive as shown on the City approved Utility Urawings dated August 1, 1979 for the Granada Heights Development. These improvements are to be completed prior to the issuance of the last Certificate of Occupancy as it relates to Lots 34, 35, 36 and 37. Please be informed that two escrow accounts for the cost of the asphalt pavement in the amount of $1,500.00 for a portion of Pamona Street and $6,595.UU for Vine Drive were established with the City several years ago by Driftwood Builders, Mr. Lyold Weatherly. However, these funds cannot be released without Mr. Weatherly's written permission and only after the street improvements have been completed. In addition, there are storm drainage improvements which must be completed prior to the release of twelve (12) Certificates of Occupancy or twenty-four (24) Building Permits whichever shall occur first. I have checked with Building Inspection and their records indicate a total of six (6) C.O.'s have been issued todate and ten (10) Building Permits including the four (4) recently requested by your firm. The storm drainage requirements should not impact your proposed construction. But, these requirements will affect any future building construction in this development until such time as the storm drainage system has been completed and accepted by the City.

Christopher Wells, CCIM Veldman Moore Commercial 3665 JFK Parkway, Building 1 Fort Collins, CO 80525 RE: 5 acres Located at Northeast Corner of Vine Drive and Hanna Street Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Mr. Wells: This letter is in response to your letter dated October 10, 1991, regarding the above titled subject property inquiring about how access can be taken. Existing access to the property is however it exists now to access for the current use. The use is just an open field How the property is given access when developed would depend upon what use is proposed for the property. The traffic impact of the proposed use would be analyzed and results presented in a traffic impact report. The City would be concerned about the impacts of the proposed development upon Vine Drive and Hanna Street. Without a proposed use and traffic study results, we cannot state what the City preference would be. As far as legal access is concerned, the property does have a right to access. If Hanna Street, for some reason, is not an option for some legal reason, then direct access to Vine Drive would be allowed. However, in the worst circumstances, the City does have the right to limit the access to right turns in and out only. The City also has the right to control where (along any streets) the access locations can be built. The City guidelines for access are that new driveways should line up on opposite sides of the street with other driveways or streets or be separated, offset, 150' to 200' from opposite side accesses. Also, driveways and streets on the same side of the street should be separated 150' to 2001. To be different from these guidelines, the traffic study must support the proposed access location. If you have any question please call me at 221-6750.

One nroblern that has been difficult to definitively resolve is the maximum height of the water table. The presence of sandy, qranual soils in the area in conjunction with several nearby irrigation canals and laterals, tends to cause abrupt changes in ground winter height. It is therefore critical that all design criteria be based canon the most unfavorable conditions that normally occur within the subdivision. During the week. of Mav 19, 1990, I visited the site several times and noted excessively high ground water levels along Coronado Drive; so high in fact, that water was standing in all low shots along the roughly graded street. John Myers, ditch rider for the Arthur Ditch Comnany, stated that this was normal when all the canals and laterals in the area were in use. He also said that the water was not coming from the Arthur Ditch on the site, but rather from the canals and laterals to the west and north. The week of July 7, 1980, I met with Dick Rutherford of Stewart Engineering on the site, and we dug a small test hole about one (1) foot deep on the west side of Coronado Drive, near TY1 11. In less than one minute water began to seen into the bottom of the hole. At that time the street was approximately to sub - grade elevations. on July 24, 1980, Fhmire Laboratory made three test bores in Coronado, all within the limits of the future street, to re- evaluate their previous findings. After four (4) days of monitoring, it was determined that the water table varied between 2.3' to 1.3' below subgrade. It should be noted that the water table was higher in June than it was at the time of the re-evaluation, as witnessed by John Myers, Dave Stringer and myself. The geotechnical soils report for Granada Heights suksnitted by moire Laboratories recommended a minimum of three (3) feet between subgrade and maximum water table height. Since I know that the water table has been higher than the new test bores have shown, it is my opinion that the recommended addition of 6" of select subbase will not prevent future street failure. r' DATE: August 14, 1980 TO: Mauri Rupel, Assistant City Engineer - Development FTrM: Tom Gathmann, Engineering Construction Inspector RE: Water Table in Granada Heights Subdivision There has been a continuing problem with high ground water levels in Granada Heights Subdivision from the very outset of utility work within the subdivision. one problem that has been difficult to definitely resolve is the maximum height of the water table.

Please find enclosed copies of the five (5) pertinent inspection reports. The warranty begins with the date of "use approval" on each report.

Tn your Final Report on Application for Environmental Assessment for this subdivision dated March 19, 1981, a copy of which is attached, you reference a flood map prepared for the City by Engineering Professionals, Inc. I believe a further explanation of both the purpose and status of this map is in order. To begin with, this map and the report of which it is a part have not obtained the final approval or formal adoption of the City of Fort Collins. The copy of the floodplain map which Mr. Kahn obtained from our consultant was clearly stamped "Preliminary", and it was never the City's intent that this map should be transmitted to you as the final delineation of a flood - plain for this area. Secondly, the drainage study for this area is a drainage basin master plan, undertaken :solely by the City in order to develop a preliminary planof drainage improvements within the particular basin. The floodplains delin- eated in conjunction with this master plan were intended to assist the City and local developers in planning for the location of major drainageway improvements, and to provide a basis for estimating flood damage reductions associated with various improvement alternatives to determine the final "best" alternative. These floodplains do not necessarily indicate the severity or extent of flood damages which are often associated with the various floodplains defined by a typical HUD/FIA Flood Insurance Study. The City's floodplains further differ from the HUD/FIA floodplains in that they define the limits of the 100-year flood assuming full develop- ment of the basin rather than only existing conditions. You mrgh— t note that the existing 100-year flows for the development in question are largely restricted to the proposed street rights -of -way. Also, the City study does not define a floodway - an area where any encroachment is pro- hibited - as a flood insurance study normally would, primarily because the localized flooding often does not warrant such an extreme restriction. Mr. Rich March March 31, 1981 Page 2 As I mentioned earlier, this basin master plan and the other basin master plans we have initiated have not been formally adopted. The City has also not adopted a set of standards or requirements which would govern development in our "planning" floodplains. Our primary concern in devel- oping such regulations will of course be the protection of the improve- ments and structures in these areas. At present, we are reviewing pro- posed developments which are impacted by these floodplains on a case by case basis, working closely with individual developers to determine the nature of the drainage facilities or flood proofing measures which are most appropriate for the particular area. This will continue to be our policy in dealing with Mr. Simmons, the developer of Granada Heights, who has already expressed his desire to cooperate fully with the City in this matter. The City feels confident that with Mr. Simmons coopera- tion, the drainage problems associated with Granada Heights Subdivision can be mitigated and the homes in the development fully protected. I hope the discussion above has illustrated the differences between the City's localized "floodplains" and the type of HUD/FIA floodplain with which you are probably more familiar. To summarize, the City's flood - plains are primarily a planning tool to assist us in dealing effectively with localized urban runoff, and do not necessarily connote the extent or severity of flooding associated with the HUD/FIA floodplains. If you have any additional questions regarding this matter or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me. .W - Owl . - A .
