U.D. North - Apartments Project ,No. 0866003 Dear Sheri, This letter is in regards to requesting the vacation of a portion of the blanket utility casement within Tract A of the Willow Springs P.U.D. North plat. This request is due to one building foundation falling outside of the building envelope (Area 1) and one garage foundation falling outside of the garage envelope (Area 2) and being within the blanket utility easement (see Exhibit "A"). The location of where these foundations fall outside of the envelopes does not have an effect on any utilities for the site. The utility improvements for this site arc complete. Please process the required documents for our request for the vacation of the blanket utility casement. Also enclosed is the plat for the project for your use. Should you have any questions please contact me at 226-0557. Sincerely, TST, INC CONSULTING ENGINEERS Sham adowen, P.E. SAS/tdy Enclosures TST, INC.

Consulting Engineers 748 Whalers Way - Building D Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Re: Willow Springs North P.U.D. Request for Variance from Street Design Criteria Dear Sharlene: December 18, 1997 This letter is in response to your letter dated November 14, 1997 in which you requested a variance from the City's Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and Other Public Ways (the "Criteria"). The City's response follows: 1.02.03.04 Minimum Tangent Length for Horizontal Alignment In two instances in the proposed development the minimum tangent length at an intersection approach is not met. In the first instance, at Wilmington Drive and Thyme Court, there does not appear to be a sight distance problem, therefore the variance is granted at this intersection. In the second instance, at Wilmington Drive and Rosemary Court, there is potential for a sight distance problem looking North onto Wilmington Drive from Rosemary Court. Because you have addressed this potential hazard by dedicating a sight distance easement at the Northwest corner of the intersection, the variance is granted at this intersection. I hope I have addressed all of your concerns. If you have any questions, feel free to contact my staff and they will direct your concerns on to me. Sincere ltwl I David Stringer, Devel ment Review Manager DWS/mjc cc: Ted Shepard, Mike Coley CoII(—'e AN-anu" • M. Bnr FSO • Fort Collin,, CO 80522-0FS0 • 070) -121-660 November 14, 1997 Mr. Michael Coley City of Fort Collins Engineering Department 281 N. College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Re: Willow Springs North P. U.D. Project No.10-695-081 Project No. 10-866-001 Dear Michael: This letter is in response to staff comments of October 31, 1997 regarding the above reference project. Please see attached Revision Comment Sheet with TST's response. Also, this letter is for the purposes of requesting a variance to City Standard 1.02.03.04 — a minimum tangent length of 100' should be provided along Wilmington Drive at the intersection approaches. Due to the constraints of the connection points for Wilmington Drive north of the project location and at Battlecreek Drive, two horizontal curves were required. Unfortunately, these two horizontal curves are located at points were residential streets are intersecting Wilmington Drive. Due to these restrictions on the site, we are requesting a variance to the above mention City Standard. It is my understanding that if a sight distance easement was dedicated at the intersection of Wilmington Drive and Rosemary Court, that the variance would be granted. We have dedicated this sight distance easement on lot 16; therefore I believe we have met the requirements by the Engineering Department. Should you have further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, TST, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS harlene Shadowen, P.E. SAS/ec Enclosure TST, INC.
