Mulberry Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Re: Sunstone 2nd Filing Dear Mrs. Hopkins: As you are aware, the concrete curbs and gutters in certain portions of the Sunstone 1st and 2nd filings do not drain properly. Unfortunately, this problem continues to plague us. We have received a citizen complaint about the gutter adjacent to 4137 Sunstone Drive, which allows water to pond and algae to accumulate. When our inspector checked the problem, he found about five feet of gutter with reverse slope, ten feet which is flat and another nine to ten feet that humps up to the radius point of curvature (see enclosed sketch). After reviewing the street profiles on the approved utility plans, I found the gutter was to have been installed at a straight line grade from 147 feet west to the PC, at a grade of 0.4%. It is obvious fran what was constructed in the field that the plan grades were not followed. Under normal circumstances, the City would pursue this matter with the Contractor. However, in this case the Contractor is no longer in business and I am at a loss as to how to get the situation corrected. I would certainly appreciate any input you might have towards this matter. i41 I -Ace nn PA 1, 13'1� 580 • I)II ( ,II l-(1 ,(1;22 1`isl) ('iIISI %r The Group, Inc.

If I recall correctly, you were going to have an engineer review the as -built gutter and then get back with me. In searching our records, I cannot find the results of this survey and would appreciate a copy of the engineer's results if you have them. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Horsetooth Road Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Re: Curb and gutter drainage, Sunstone 2nd Dear Ms. Hopkins: Recently I received a complaint call from a Debbie Young at 2320 Flagstone Court stating that the gutter adjacent to her house did not drain properly. After visiting the site and looking at the Engineer's design, I found that the gutter was designed with minimal slope and may or may not be constructed as designed. A survey needs to be performed to determine if a Problem was created during construction. In addition, I noticed that the northwest radius at Flagstone and Caribou holds a substantial amount of water. This radius appears to have been constructed or surveyed incorrectly and does not function until water backs up in the cross pan to a depth of approximately 3 inches. The condition of the radius as it currently exists, will create a hazard to motorist and pedestrian traffic this winter. Therefore, I must request that this condition be corrected. Additionally, I would appreciate it if your surveyor would also check the gutter at 2320 and determine if this section is built according to the Engineer's design. Another item that I noticed, is the gutter area on Caribou throughout the entire Sunstone Development which is holding more water then it should. After accessing the situation, I believe the major problem is the dirt and debris which has accumulated in the gutter. In several areas grass and weeds are growing which create additional blockages at the water flow line. Due to the fact that the continual setting of water on an asphalt pavement causes premature deterioration, I would like the gutters to be thoroughly cleaned as well. ,w LaPorte A%enue • P.O.
