Re: The variance requests for tangent lengths for Scarlet Ibis Lane and for the hammerhead
termination of Nightingale Road
Dear Mr. Oberlander,
This letter is in response to your request for a variance to the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards. One variance requested was a reduction of required tangent lengths on Scarlet Ibis Road.
It has been determined that this variance is unneeded since the deflection of Scarlet Ibis Road within 100
feet of the intersection falls within the 90 degrees +/- 10 degrees allowed by the Standards.
The second variance requested was to allow a hammerhead configuration in lieu of the standard cul-de-
sac design for the termination of Nightingale Road (Nightingale Court?). This letter is being provided as
a formal record of the City's determination, as discussed in previous meetings with the developer's
consultant, that the hammerhead configuration would not be approved. One option that would still be
considered is the off -set bulb cul-de-sac configuration (Figure 7-19 LCUASS), for which PFA would most
likely require a 100' radius as set forth in their standards.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Katie Moore
Project Engineer
City of Fort Collins
