July 28, 2005 Ms. Sherri Wamhoff City of Fort Collins Engineering 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 50522-0580 Re: New Belgium Brewery — Request for Variance 1 — Curb Proj: 110-12 Dear Ms. Wamhoff: The following is a request for variance from the Table 7-1 — General Parameters — Curb & Gutter Vertical in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October, 2002". This variance is requested to allow the curb to be eliminated on the north side of Buckingham Street for approximately 800 feet. Buckingham is a minor collector street with parking. Buckingham is proposed to be improved to the collector standard for approximately 1700' from the intersection with 1 s` Street to the east. Drive over curb with attached sidewalk exists along the south side of Buckingham from I" Street to 3rd Street. Approximately 200' of vertical curb with attached sidewalk exists on the south side of Buckingham east of the proposed improvement. The remainder of Buckingham currently has a rural type section with shoulders and a borrow ditch. It is proposed to construct Buckingham to the collector standard width and accommodate all of the required lanes. In place of the vertical curb, it is proposed to install a 30" wide concrete edge to prevent the asphalt from raveling and define the street edge. Since there will be parking along this edge, this parking aisle and the bike lane will provide a 14' recovery area if a vehicle inadvertently leaves the designated through lane. A bio Swale will be constructed in the parkway and a walk will be constructed north of the bio swale. The parkway will be widened to 10' to accommodate the bioswale and the required street trees. The walk is also being widened to 8'. The swale will be approximately 1' deep and will be used to convey runoff from the street east to the intersection of Buckingham and Lemay Avenue. This swale will also provide a water quality component that will help remove pollutants and particulates from the street runoff prior to the runoff entering the storm system and the Poudre River. This swale will not be used to treat any runoff other than the street and sidewalk. Any other development would be required to provide its own water quality component prior to discharge into the storm system. The bioswale will be lined with approximately 10" to 12" of sandy soil to promote percolation of the runoff water into the soil. The swale will also be landscaped with low maintenance plantings 700 Automation Drive, Unit I Windsor, Colorado 80550 970-686-6939 Phone • 970-686-1 188 Fax UV,UVV 'AWW OFF1499 or CHARLE6L WC-VCQ W0013, RIS & MAY MARK R.

Dear Rick, Per -our phone conversation In December, New Belgium Brewing Company is asking your permission to proceed with under grounding a portion of the Coy Ditch currently located in the City of Fort Collins Right of Way along Buckingham Street. Attached are one copy of the existing conditions and one preliminary design drawing. The reason we are requesting this is to accommodate the City's requirements for widening of adjacent Buckinghama Street to Larimer County Standards, which would move the Right of Way line further north into our property.. In order to meet these standards, the ditch would.also have to move north, onto our property, which is why we would need to pipe It and grant an easement to the owners, The City of Fort Collins requires us to have a signed letter from all the owners (by February 2 for a scheduled hearing) stating that they are in agreement with the direction we are heading. Assuming all the owners are In agreement, we would. follow up with a new legal description (to go on record), that reflects the changes upon final design. Please sign the enclosed letter and return it to us in the pre -paid envelope before February 2. Thank you very much for your assistance, and please do not hesitate to. contact me If you have any questions.

This variance is requested to allow portions of Buckingham Street to be designed and constructed with grades varying from 0.4% to 0.5%. In the past, the minimum grade allowed was 0.4%. Portions of the south side of Buckingham were constructed or below at this grade. This project will widen the road to the north and will need to match the existing grade in order to avoid complete reconstruction of the roadway. Other possible solutions would require multiple low points and compromise the ride ability of the north half of the street. This variance from the above Standards will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or additional information that you may need for the approval of this variance. 1114 Sincerely, P'"O REG/. k5 v• T ODP\G�P KR�F�9��E i �/ U • ,LQ' n •• , 01.

Based upon this analysis, it was concluded that the variance request cannot be supported and was denied on this date, September 9, 2005. While we in Transportation Services desire to be open to design concepts that may be viewed as innovative in realms outside of transportation, we are still wanting to be mindful of how these alternative concepts impact transportation needs. In general, the City Engineer expressed concern on the increased maintenance responsibility Transportation Services foresees in allowing water to collect and infiltrate in close proximity to the pavement subgrade. In this scenario, the life of the street will be reduced from a typical curb and gutter street section where water is directed away from the surrounding street. We are faced with ongoing pavement management issues on our public street system at large and a tightening budget to handle this responsibility; to introduce this alternative cross section, we believe would not be in keeping with the welfare of the general public.

January 10, 2006 Marc Virata City of Fort Collins Engineering 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 50522-0580 Re: Request for Variance #1 —Narrow street section Proj: 110-13 Dear Marc The following is a request for variance from Table 7-1 — Roadway Width in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, March 2001". This variance is requested to allow bumpouts on the north side of Buckingham Street (a minor collector with parking) which will narrow the street width in the area of the bumpout. The bumpout will cause the street to be 42' wide for a distance of approximately 80'. In this area, parking will not be allowed. The narrower street will still allow for two 12' drive lanes and the required bike lanes therefore traffic will not be impeded. This bumpout will also define the parking areas and will help to control driving speeds on Buckingham Street. This variance from the above Standards will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.

Is the storm that feeds into the onsite detention ponds considered private? or does this, as well as anything that is in the public right of way for the storm line need to be included with the calculations? 3) Do any items in the deferred improvements agreement for Buckingham and the future storm line down 1st street need to be included in this DCP? 4) If #3 above is no I assume that street patches and minor curb repair is all that would need to be included for the remaining work. 5) The West entry off of Linden is being widened - I assume the sidewalk, curb cut and C&G up to the City easement needs to be included? 6) The Water meter pit is noted as V on the spreadsheet - we have a 2" does this change anyting fee wise? 7) IF #3 above is yes - does the COY Ditch need to be included? 8) There are some existing storm lines that will be abandoned and flow filled - do they then need to be included in the calculation? 9) We may need to lower the 24" NWCWD main that runs down Buckingham - does this need to be included in the calcs? Sorry - didn't realize I had some many questions till I got looking at things. Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.
