Subject: Utility coordination for possible row vacation
A utility coordination meeting has been scheduled for Wed Feb 16 at 1:30 at 281 N. College Ave,
conference rooms C and D.
The Liberty Commons School located on the NW corner of March Court and Sharp Point Drive (SE corner
of Prospect and Timberline) would like to shorten the March Court Cul-de-sac. Vacate a portion of the cul-
de-sac bulb row and dedicate row for a new cul-de-sac and build a new cul-de-sac bulb.
They desire to do this as they wish to use the land at the end of the cul-de-sac to build a running track and
field and the land that they have is not wide enough to do so. So they are proposing to shorten the cul-de-
sac and use a portion of the existing row for the track area.
It is not a given that they can do this - The City has not determined if it will support this request, but in
order for the Liberty Commons School to know if it is even a feasible idea they need to determine if the
changes they are proposing will work for the utilities and/ or if the utilities will need to be moved in order to
accommodate what they desire to do.
Hope you are able to attend - Please let me know if you have any questions or are unable to have a
representative here for the meeting.
Thanks

Hi Sheri. Xcel Energy will not be attending the meeting today.
We are clear of any facilities in March Ct. we do have gas main that runs in the utility easement on Sharp
Point Dr.
However, we do not have anything in March Ct.
Thanks. If there is anything else you may need, please let me know.

Re: Liberty Common School Application for Right of Way Vacation (March Court)
Proj: 205-02
Dear Sheri:
Please accept this letter and attached documentation as a formal application for the
vacation of a part of March Court Right of Way.
Liberty Common School, as the applicant, is requesting that the existing cul-de-sac on
March Court be vacated. With this additional land, they propose to build a running track
for the School. The School will dedicate new right of way in order to construct a new
bulb for the cul-de-sac. All construction and relocation costs will be the responsibility of
the School.
The following documents are attached to this application letter:
• A "Concept Plan / Project Overview" drawing which shows the conceptual layout
of the track and March Court. A brief narrative of the project is also included on
this sheet.
• Four (4) legal descriptions and exhibits by JR Engineering for the right of way
vacation, right of way dedication, and easements that will be changed.
• A letter from Poudre Fire Authority stating that a 40' radius cul-de-sac is
acceptable at this location.
Per our conversations, this should be enough information for your internal review of the
project. Please note that there are existing utility easements on this property that are not
proposed to be vacated at this time (like the 6' easement around the existing March
Court). After the right of way vacation process is completed, we intend to vacate these
other easements with a separate process. If you require any additional information, or
have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Re: Variances for March Court Street Improvements at Liberty Common School
Proj: 205-02
Dear Sheri:
The following is a request for variance from several portions of the "Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards, October 2002". With the proposed track and field for the
School, the existing cul-de-sac is going to be reconstructed. The existing cul-de-sac was
constructed with old standards. It is proposed that the cul-de-sac be reconstructed with
portions of the old standards rather than the 2002 LCUASS. A summary of variances to
the LCUASS is as follows:
• Cul-de-sac radius — As shown on the drawings, the cul-de-sac is proposed to have
a 40' flowline radius. The current standard is 50'. The Poudre Fire Authority has
accepted the proposed geometry and stated that they will not be using this street
(there is no destination). Normal vehicular traffic will be able to turn around with
no problems. Because PFA will not use this street, there is no safety issue related
to the smaller radius.
• Attached walk — The walks throughout this area are 4' attached walks. Detaching
the new sidewalk would not match any adjacent areas and would be a very short
length of sidewalk. It is proposed to install a 6.0' attached walk adjacent to the
cul-de-sac (flowline to back of walk). This will not change the character of the
street, but will provide extra width for safety.
This project, even without meeting current standards, will enhance the safety of
pedestrians and traffic in this area. 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 addition nformation that you may need for the
approval of this variance. a , � A

Subject: March Court Street Plans
Good morning. I got all of your comments and have revised the plans and will be resubmitting them today
hopefully. I wanted to respond in writing to your comments so that hopefully we can go to mylar once we get our
soils report.
Jeffs W/WW comments:
Provide copies of the legal descriptions for the proposed utility easement.
Sheri has all of these legal as a part of the ROW vacation process and she can get you a copy or let you know
how those will be dedicated. Right now the existing road is still in ROW, so nothing can be dedicated until the
ROW is vacated.
Define abandonment,
In the cul-de-sac bulb, we will take everything out of the ground. This has been noted more clearly.
Abandon fire line.
This was a typo on the plans. The city map and original plans show a 314" service in this location. I have
stated that if it exists, to shut the corp stop, remove some of the service at the main, and to remove the curb stop
box. This appears to be in the area where we will be rebuilding the street, so patching is not an issue.
Use MJ Bends on 12".
Noted per your redlines.
Basil's Storm Redlines:
Sheri has all of these legals as a part of the ROW vacation process and she can get you a copy or let you know

ROW is vacated.
I added flow arrows, erosion control and seeding notes and locations, and erosion control details to the plans.
Sheri's comments:
I looked at moving the crown and it just doesn't get much better if I move the location - it makes other places
steeper or flatter.
We are working on getting the soils report with 2 borings in the new cul-de-sac location.

RE: REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF MARCH COURT RIGHT OF WAY
Attached for your review and comment is a sketch showing the right-of-way (cul-de-sac) for
March Court that was plated with Prospect Industrial Park, located southeast of the Prospect
Road and Timberline Road intersection. Currently the 3 of the lots surrounding this cul-de-sac
are owned by LCS Building Corporation (Liberty Commons School), with the lot to the southeast
being owned by another party(ies). The cul-de-sac is fully built except for the sidewalk adjacent
to the undeveloped western parcel. It is in this area that the school would like to build a running
track. The existing property width is not adequate to meet this need and thus they are requesting
that the City vacate a portion of the cul-de-sac and that the school will dedicate new row for and
rebuild the cul-de-sac further to the east on their property.
A utility coordination was held on 2/16/05 and of the utilities in attendance it appeared that
utility wise the proposed plan could be accommodated. As a part of this review the City will
determine if it is in support of this proposal.
Please let me know if you have any problem with the right of way vacation and if any of the area
beyond what is showing being retained as easement would need to be retained. Please also let
me know of any other concerns regarding this proposed vacation. Sign and return any comments
to Sheri L. Wamhoff in the Development Review Center by March 28, 2005. If we do not hear
from you by this date, we will assume you have no objections to the proposed vacation. Please

I want to personally thank you, and thank BHA for the tremendous patience exuded to
allow the Poudre Fire Authority to process this design request. I do not like to make
decisions in a vacuum, and therefore it takes time and pressure to make sure our decisions
are accurate and adequate for the ultimate customer, in this case Liberty Common
School.
The Poudre Fire Authority can support the request to provide the 40-foot radius for the
cul-de-sac being replaced at the end of March Court for the following reasons:
1. this public street is too far to be used from the school building,
2. the PFA fire truck should not have need to enter this cul-de-sac; however a fire
engine can and will enter/utilize this access, and the engine can make a turn here,
3. the entry apron on the cul-de-sac is still available to the truck for 3-point
turn-arounds if necessary to reverse direction of travel,
4. this cul-de-sac exists and is not new, it is only being improved to accommodate the
new running track for Liberty Common School.
I pray this approval to your request allows you to process any right-of-way vacation and
amend the project plat as needed to proceed with this project.
