Re: Lincoln Projects
We want to help the Bank get to the finish line ASAP with its project.
And we are willing to coordinate with the Bank, as was outlined in my previous letter,
Cody. The major items to coordinate are:
(a) easement for full movement access,
(b) easement for a major entrance off Lemay including necessary variance
approval, and
(c) internal projects' street alignments.
On further reflection, I feel that it is imperative to proceed with all of these items now,
not at a later date by means of minor amendment or otherwise.
The additional incremental amount of planning and engineering work necessary for
widening the Lemay access road considerably and adding an island is minimal and if
Northstar and VF Ripley move aggressively forward, I am sure this all can be
accomplished without adding much if any delay to the approval process.
Cody, several thoughts primarily for you:
1. If we proceed as I have suggested, it is likely you will save both time and
money. It is more efficient to take care of these matters, which are really
details, now rather than having to reinitiate an approval process at a later date
to accomplish them with a minor amendment.
2. 1 am confident that you and I can sit down and put together the necessary
agreement between us in one week or less.

Re: Bank of Colorado — Northeast Corner of Lincoln and Lemay
Request for Variance C — Driveway Spacing
Proj: 170-01
Dear Katie:
The following is a request for variance from Table 7-3 — Fort Collins Technical Design
Standards — 4-Lane Arterial — Distance Between Driveway Edges and Distance Between
Driveways and Street Intersections in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards,
October 2002".
This variance is also requested to allow the proposed drive into the site on Lemay to be closer to
the Lemay and Lincoln intersection than the 460' minimum dimension specified in the Standards.
The drive is proposed to be located 325' north of the intersection (centerline to centerline). This
drive entrance will be restricted to a right -in, right -out configuration by installation of a
temporary median in Lemay. This restriction will provide additional safety for traffic movements
entering and exiting the entrance.
Because of the installation of the medina, it is not anticipated that this variance from the above
Standards will compromise the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any
that you may need for the approval of this variance.

Bank at Lemay and Lincoln
Eric/Ward,
I just received a call from Trisha at Northstar regarding revisions to the plans for the proposed bank at
Lemay and Lincoln on the northeast corner. As you may recall they were proposing to take access off of
Lincoln several hundred feet east of the intersection. Evidently, they are having trouble getting the
easement for this access and they now are proposing an access from Lincoln at approximately 240 feet,
centerline to centerline, from the intersection. ( This is the same location as what was being proposed on
their first submittal). At that time the City was requiring a median to be built for access control as a right
in/right out Is this still the case? Any other thoughts/requirements that need to be addressed?
Trisha wants to schedule a meeting with me soon ( naturally) to discuss the revision so I would appreciate
your input as soon as possible.
Thanks
Dave

Median at Lincoln and Lemay - on Lincoln
Tricia,
The lay out of you Lincoln Avenue median for the Bank of Colorado project looks good. If this project
goes forth with this design then you will need to provide cross sections with elevations, street elevations
and etc. Limits of mill and in lay and any appropriate details for this interim median section.
Transportation Planning has asked about a ped refuge, Since this proposed median width is only 4 feet,
please contact Tom Reiff regarding this issue.

Re: Fax sent regarding Bank of Colorado project
Jon, I wanted to respond to your fax and telephone message to me regarding the Bank of
Colorado and the item you feel would be appropriate for the City to require of this
development as a condition of approval. For documentation purposes I will paraphrase
your desire. As I understand your request, you are asking the City to require the Bank of
Colorado to share their enter way off of Lemay Avenue with a future development
project to the north. In addition, you would like the City to require the bank project to
dedicate the drive entry as public right-of-way in the fixture. The intent of this right-of-
way would be to provide street access to the north for future development. Unless, I am
mistaken I believed this is what you proposed to us and the bank some months ago. In
fact the City was under the impression that the bank and yourself were in agreement with
this concept. Evidently, issues have arisen that we are not aware of; consequently, you
are trying to put us in the middle of a civil dispute.
Unfortunately, the City can not do as you have requested. Since there is not an
application in our system for this northern project, showing the intent, density, layout or
design we will not require a shared drive or dedication of right-of-way. The City does
not have legal standing to accommodate your request. This item of discussion is better
suited as discussions between the owners of the north property and the bank. I suggest
working and cooperating with the bank will accomplish both your needs and theirs. If
you wish to pursue your desires with the bank project, it should be done quickly. They
are in the Final Compliance stage of the City's process and will soon have approval to
proceed with construction of their facility.

Tricia,
I was looking at the extra sheet CS11.12A, and the title block says Bank of Colorado, when it should say:
Off -site street construction plans, Mulberry and Lemay Crossings, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Also, since this sheet is proposed as a new sheet to revise only part of CS11.12, we should really also be
getting a new mylar for 11.12 showing revision bubbles and adding a note to see 11.12A for revisions.

Re: Proposed Roadway Improvements — Southeast Corner of Lincoln and Lemay
Request for Variance A —Tapers and Auxiliary Lane Lengths
Proj: 170-04
Dear Ms. Moore:
The following is a request for variance from Figure 8-3 — Guidelines for Design Lengths of
Left Turn Lanes in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October 2002". The left
turn lane on Lincoln Avenue currently does not meet these standards. Assuming a speed of 35
mph, the required approach taper is 245 feet. Currently, the approach taper is approximately 75'
and the full width bay of approximately 200'. It is proposed to maintain this existing
configuration.
This variance is requested to allow a sub -standard taper on the proposed auxiliary lane in order to
maximize the storage for the left turn lane. This is proposed as an interim condition because the
ultimate alignment of Lincoln Avenue is not currently known. It is not logical to bring this left
turn bay into compliance when the final alignment of Lincoln Avenue will likely cause that
improvement to be removed and reconstructed. The current left turn bay appears to function
adequately for the interim condition.
It is not anticipated that this variance from the above Standards will compromise the public
health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or additional information that you
nee.

RE: Sidewalk Variance request to LCUAAS147
,DLS �
Issue:
J\P Cox
Approve a variance to the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards to allow Qks V11
the installation of an attached seven foot wide sidewalk adjacent to Lincoln �a
Avenue in -lieu of the City standard detached six foot wide sidewalk with a ten S�
foot parkway strip between the street and the sidewalk.
Discussion:
Interim stormwater improvements to Lincoln Avenue limit the design options
adjacent to the proposed Bank of Colorado project at the Northeast corner of
Lincoln and Lemay Avenues. The City is requiring this project to provide a
stormwater retention pond, which is required to be of much greater capacity then
the normal detention pond, due to the lack of an adequate out fall system down
stream of this project. Consequently, the retention pond size is substantially
larger when compared to the normal detention pond size when an outfall system
is in place. The required retention pond is currently located as far south and is
located as centrally as possible to the east west property lines as practical for
this project.. With the enlarged pond and a possible future right turn lane there
is not sufficient room to provide for a detached sidewalk should the future Lincoln
Avenue be constructed at it's current location. In order to accommodate the
pond sizing and a future right turn lane this project is proposing a 7 foot wide
sidewalk adjacent to the property line to compensate for the lack of a parkway

strip between the sidewalk and the street. The attached sidewalk condition will
only occur if the current Lincoln /Lemay Avenue configuration remains as is.
Furthermore, the future of the existing Lincoln Avenue is uncertain at this time.
The East Mulberry Corridor plan indicates some changes will most likely occur
when Lincoln Avenue to the east. It is projected as shifting in a more northerly
alignment to connect with a future 2 lane arterial (International) street. The
portion of Lincoln Avenue from the future connection to Lemay is shown in the
plan as a 4 lane arterial which will require extensive intersection reconfiguration
improvements which may impact any existing improvements previously installed
by this and existing developments.
Recommendation:
Since the ultimate final design or construction timing for Lincoln and Lemay
avenues is not within the near future, and the final intersection alignment has not
been determined it is likely that changes to the existing streets will occur. Based
upon the fact that the Bank One Development is not being required to make an
ultimate Lincoln Avenue improvements except for the si ewalk installation it
seems realistic to not be concerned with the proposed sidewalk location being an
attached or detached sidewalk at this time. The sidewalk as proposed may
become an attached walk in the future, yet allows for a detached sidewalk if the
future alignment is modified to a different configuration then what is envisioned
today. Therefore, staff supports the sidewalk configuration and location as
shown on the City approved Final Development Plan Documents. The sidewalk
as proposed is not anticipated to compromise the public health, safety and
welfare.

Re: Proposed Roadway Improvements — Southeast Corner of Lincoln and Lemay
Request for Variance B— Attached Walks
Prof: 170-04
Dear Ms. Moore:
The following is a request for variance from Figure 7-2F — 4-Lane Arterial Street Typical
Section in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October 2002". The ultimate
design of Lincoln Avenue will require a right turn lane which will widen the street to the north
adjacent to the Bank of Colorado site.
The proposed development has a requirement to provide retention in the interim condition which
will -onvcrt to detention once a downstream outfall cone ance is rovided. The retention
requirement increases t e area that is dedicated to ponding. This creates a hardship and the
owner has requested that we pursue the following variance.
This variance is requested to allow 7' wide attached walks rather than the standard 6' detached
walks (shown on Figure 7-2F). At the east eeedge of the property, the walk would begin to
transition to a detached walk and wou re tn mt the criteria.
Because of the increased width of the walk, it is not anticipated that this variance from the above

that you may need for the approval of this variance.
