Development Agreement Tim, 1 have reviewed the draft copy of the Development Agreement and would like to respectfully request some changes as follows: General Conditions: Paragraph C We sec no reason why a building permit cannot be issued until the completion of the listed improvements. phis requirement is usually for residential development. We would like this restriction stricken from the agreement or revised to allow for concurrent completion of public improvements and our building. Paragraph I: According to the attached Exhibit" R", we are not eligible for any reimbursement for storm drainage improvejutaus" The inlets and piping along both College and Willox, excluding the inlet box South of our College Ave. access which we arc piping to, will only handle oft -site water and should therefore be eligible for repayment. Paragraph J: Why are molars of as-builts due after "any phase of construction is complete"? Can this be revised to require molars of as-builts following final inspection of utilities, storm and street improvements?

McDonaid's A Piace You Can Count On Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances (cont. : I'aragra� We would like this paragraph stricken from the agreement. In effect, the adjacent property owners could submit plans for development of the adjacent parcel, which would undoubtedly require grade revisions as this parcel is in the same Noodplair as our development, and thereby delay our Certificate of Occupancy. Any proposed development would require engineering review by your department per Planning requirements and would not be allowed to increase Flows into our storm facilities without modification to those facilities under their separate P.U.D. Our C.O. should not be contingent on "fhe Developer obtaining approval._" and adherence to the Final Approved P.U.D. design is addressed elsewhere in this dOcunlCnt. Paragraph 4: We request clarification as to what off -site drainage facilities would not be accepted for mainien<uxe by the City, assuming all facilities are indeed built to Citv standards. Streets Paragraph 1: Can you provide us a copy of Section 24-1 12 of the Code of the City for our review. Also, does "Developer's actual expenses" include em�ineering costs" Paragraph 2: It is understood that the off -site improvements are "City hrnprovements". The requirement for competitive bids should have been brought up sooner in the project as we have already awarded this project to Vanni Construction. Howcvci. it should be noted that Vanni solicited several local contractors fur bids and only received ( I ). As the contract stands today. Kehn Construction will be doing the street improvements and it is my understanding that they do quite a bit of City work anyway. It should also be noted that McDonald's only grants 90,, overhead and profit with no general conditions_ This requirement, and the lack of prior notification of Such. represents one more major time delay in a project that has taken 2 1 ,'_' years to brio_ to this point We would sugsest that the Citv review Kehn s bid, which we are confident the City would find to be very reasonable. Miscellaneous: I't�raph C. We request that we be allowed to utilize a water truck to mitigate dust rather than have the job shut down. One last revision request; for the Developer's approval, we need to revise the contact to Sonny .Jones, n Construction Maaner as I was unaware that Rarry C.

These plans address the city's comments from May 20, 1 voh_ and the additional comments from your letter dated .Tune 30, 1999, In response to your meetings with CDOT, we have incorporated all your requests for the median redesign. In response to Mr. Buftington's comments All vertical and horizontal utility separations have been addressed by minimums or encasement. The proposed RCP is using the same trench as the existing CMP - NIII(oc and replace. We've shown all waterline crossing elevations per the city's as -built drawing 3-0034. In response to Mr. I lamdan comments: titorm sewer encasement has been shown. Water quality volume in the detention pond were not considered for storage, see volume calculations. O fsite area and basins has been shown. Basin El is historic but we feel it should he handled by an agreement with the adjoining property owner, rather than an casement. I'he emergency overflow from pond I was designed to have a second chance to get into the pipe. The detail for the outfall of the storm sewer in College Ave. is shown in the detail %1-601-12 on sheet C-313. All other comments have been addressed in the drainage report. We appreciate the time and effort you have taken in the review of these plans.

The items that we discussed were the dimensions of the proposed median along North College Avenue. Please find enclosed, a redlined copy of the Offsite Striping Plan for the Willox Crossing development. We would ask that you make any necessary changes as suggested on the striping plan and resubmit the utility plans for this project. The major issues that the State was concerned with are as follows: a. The Offsite Striping Plan did not show the existing and proposed striping to the south of the site. Please extend the existing and proposed striping beyond the carwash and establish how the proposed striping will match with the existing striping. b. Please modify the taper ratio so that it reflects a 12:1 ratio rather than a 11.5 1 ratio_ Make sure that your traffic engineer includes this in the variance that your traffic engineer is preparing. C. Please check the vehicle turning movements out of the carwash entrance. You will need to modify the "bulb" of the median so that it has not affected the turning movements. d. Since this median is temporary, make sure that the edges of the median align with the existing 12-foot chicken lane. The remaining comments shown on the Offsite Striping Plan are minor so I feel I do not need to expand on them. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 221-6605. �RI Nort7 C 0 11 e11e:A% CTI U 0 • PC).

The items that were discussed were the dimensions of the proposed median along North College Avenue and the requirements for the variances needed with this project. Please find enclosed, a copy of a sketch of the North College median showing the new configuration, the various dimensions and taper ratios associated with the median. The location of the median shown on the sketcin. is approximate and will need to be located accurately by your engineers. The dimensions, i.e. lengths of the median, are referenced from the southern edge of the stop bar. What is currently being suggested is shown as follows: a. 250 feet of lane length b. 138 feet of taper length (using the minimum taper ratio from the existing access code which is 11.5:1) c. Approximately 22 foot long 'bulb" at the end of the median The engineer will be responsible for seeing to it that turning movements from the carwash will not be affected by the edge of the median be placed at the north edge of the carwash access. If turning movements are affected, the median can be constructed as shown with the dashed line or shifted north 5 to 10 feet d. Lane transitions will be 120 feet long using a 1 30 redirect taper ratio. All lane transitions will begin at the location of where the median begins to taper, i.e 250 feet from the southern edge of the stop bar. e. The edge of asphalt taper will be 75 feet long and started from the curb return. At that point; the edge of asphalt will follow the lane line for a distance of 45 feet. Please note that the edge of asphalt will need to be 4 feet from the lane line as stated in the State Highway Access Code. f. There will be no landscaping inside the median. It will be constructed with glue - down curb and filled in with exposed aggregate. I am requesting that your traffic engineer provide the necessary language for the variances associated with the median. Currently, the median is deficient in a number of areas when compared with the allowable conditions in the State Highway Access Code. Please note that '-81 NoT th -V unuo • PO. Box ;80 - Port Collins; CO 802'-0,580 • (970) 221-600,; the State is in the process of adopting a new access code. If in fact this code is approved by State officials, the variances will need to reference the new criteria in the new code. Listed below are the items that the traffic engineer should address in the variances. a. Storage Nength deficiency b. Lane length deficiency c. You can reference the median on North College at Vine Drive d. Address the fact that there is no acceleration lane. You may state that traffic leaving the carwash will not be allowed to enter an acceleration lane and that the City does not support acceleration lanes to begin with. e. If the new code is approved, you will need to base the variances off of the requirements in that document rather than the existing code. For example, the minimum taper ratio allowed in the new code is 12:1 and not 11.5:1 as stated in the existing code. The traffic engineer will need to include the required lane lengths, taper lengths, storage lengths, etc. and the rToposed lane lengths, taper lengths, storage lengths, etc. in the variance request language. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 221-6605. Sinc Tim R.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Rl-,,: Greeley Water Main at Willox Crossing Dear Tim: Attached please find the redline comments from the Engineering, Water and Wastewater Utility and the Stonnwater Utility Departments for the above named project. 1 believe that these comments have been addressed with the corrections made and shown on the attached blue lines and mylar sheet, and also throughout this letter. The main concerns from Engineering dealt with highway permits and any necessary city permits. We will soon apply for the highway crossing pennit from Henry Rangel of CDOT. I have discussed that issue with Roger Buffington, and we decided that Greeley should be able to make that application directly with CDOT. Roger and I also discussed his concerns shown on the redlines and I believe that all these issues have been addressed. For Storm Water Utility concerns I talked to Matt Fater. Most of his comments are addressed on the revised plan. We will be installing a silt fence around the affected area of construction. Because the impact of the installation ottee water main on this site is minimal (with regard to disturbed surface), because McDonald'; will soon be developing this site. and due to the fact that we are a neighboring municipality. we are requesting a waiver from the escrow requirement. If necessary, we can leave the silt fence in place until McDonald's begins construction or makes other improvements to restore the surface. We will work with the erosion. control inspector to mitigate erosion in this area. 1 1, , , w I 'c put till �'nl, klf] Re�-,ion !-V (awaWCo. SU631 l,', 1d1w..

Parkway, Suite 300 Englewood, Colorado, 80111 RE: Manhole Construction, North College and Willox, Fort Collins, Co Dear Chris: The intent of this letter is to inform you that the storm sewer concrete manhole junction boxes constructed with the Willox Crossing development, in the Colorado Department of Transportation's right-of-way on State Highway 287 (College Avenue) have been built in accordance with CDOT standards. As you may recall, I sent a letter to Mr. Doug Dunkin of R&R Engineers on or about September 9, 1999, requesting some additional information concerning the redesign of the storm sewer junction boxes. Initially, I had concerns due to the lack of detail and the size of the proposed redesign. However, in talking to our construction inspector (Ronda Henson) she stated the manhole junction boxes, as built in the field, were not sized in accordance with that as proposed by R&R Engineers. Ronda indicated the size was modified from the R&R proposed design to accommodate an existing gas line with no box dimension being greater then 8 feet. Upon further review of the approved plans, I found the CDOT standard design table includes a manhole design up to 8 foot. Additionally, she stated that the boxes were built in accordance with the standard reinforcing table as shown on the approved plan set. Therefore, the manhole junction boxes were built in accordance with CDOT criteria. If you have additional questions, please contact me at (970) 221-6605.

After quickly reviewing what is proposed I see a few issues that need to be resolved. I_ These boxes are within the Colorado Department of Transportation's right-of-way and are in the proposed travel way. The design must comply with their standards, do they meet this, and are they designed to support the State loading requirements? 2. The fax that I saw did not include any steel reinforcing details, what size rebar, spacing, distance from walls, slabs, lids and etc. 1 Our inspector has informed me that these boxes are smaller then 4 feet by 10 feet, I understand they have been built at 4 feet by 8 feet, is this size adequate? 4. What is the elevation of the boxes as it relates to the subgrade and finished street elevation? 5.
