Dear Ron_

As per our phone conversation today, I would offer the following in regards to
access to the property on north College Avenue under consideration for
development by the Auto Zone Corporation.
College Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado is a State highway and falls under the
jurisdiction of the State Highway Access Code (SHAC). In 1992, this section of
highway was reclassified from a Category 3 to a Category 4 highway by the State
Transportation Commission, At that time, an additional requirement was placed
on the City to develop an access control plan to more fully define the
implications of the SHAC on this section of highway.
The City of Fort Collins has selected a consulting firm to begin this process.
We expect to start development of an access plan in December of 1993 and be
completed in September of 1994. The development of this access control plan will
define the future access points along north College that will address the
requirements of' the SHAC, its design standards, and also try to be sensitive to
the needs of the properties along north College.
I have discussed with Mr. Lou Ellis of Auto Zone, the issue of this access
control plan, the SHAC, and the City's ability to guarantee access on this
property. At this time, without the completion of the access control plan, the
City and the State do not know where access points will be planned. As I have
indicated to Mr. Ellis, the property in question as well as all the other
properties along north College will be provided access in accordance with the
SHAC. The City, along with the Colorado Department of Transportation, as a part
of the access control plan, will work with all property owners to try to meet
their access needs and still meet the requirements of the SHAC.
In discussions with Mr. Ellis, we talked about a couple of options for access to
this property:
1. One point of access on the southern end of the property; and
2. The possibility of a shared access point with the property owner to
the north.

Autozone Minor Subdivision
S. of Jax surplus

Fort Collins
I have reviewed the'Autozone Minor Subdivision proposal and offer
the following comments:
RIGF-T-Ol-WAY It appears that the appropriate width of right-of-way
is to be dedicated with this development resulting in 60 feet east
of the highway canterline for a total. of 120 feet.
ACCESS This revised plan shows a single access adjacent to the south
property boundary. This location is As recommended to Kerrie
Ashbeck on October 8, 1993. Sheet C1.0 shower a cross access with
the property to the north (Jax Surplus). That access is located
approximately 70 feet east of SH 287. The Jax Surplus site
configuration has not been provided, therefore, it is not possible
to evaluate the relationship of this proposed cross access to the
traffic patternA of that existing comtgercial development.
The accuse drive is dimensioned as 30 feet, flow line to flow
line. T1ae dimensions of the gutter fan have not been provided
(Sheet 1/C2.0 was not included in this submittal). Assuming a 2
foot gutter pan, the access width exclusive of curb and gutter
would be 26 feet. The range of widths appropriate for this type
of commercial use would be 25-35 feet exclusive of curb and gutter
(The standard method of dimensioning access is exclusive of curb
and gutter.) Sheet C1.4 shows the final access design to include
20 foot radii. This is the minimum radius recommended by the
State Highway Access Codc. An access profile has not been
provided. Howevar, based upon the spot elevations shown on Sheet
c1.4 for the curb return flow line and based upon the projected
edge of asphalt, I have determined that the access slopes from the
ROW line toward the highway at a 4% grade. That grade should be
maneuverable. I suggest that an access -profile be added to the
plans for ease ct review and inspection.
ACCESS PBRMITT3NC3 The City and the Department should discuss
the permitting process for this condition when a temporary access
is to be constructed. It seems appropriate necessary to issue a
temporary perm:.r, at tlhia time that could include the entirety of

these plans and a final permit at such time as the reconstruction
is necessary based upon improvements to the state highway.
13RAINAp= The drainage plan shows a detention system at the east
end of the property, away from the state highway.
LANDSCAPING The landscaping plan shows all plantings outside of the
dedicated ROW. The plantings would not obstruct sight distance at
the highway a0cens.
OTILITION Should new utility lines or connections be necessary
within. the state highway ROW, a utility permit will be required.
Prior to such utility work, Mr. Henry Rangel of the Department
should be contacted at (303) 350-2111.

My comments are based upon the submittal au received Jane 13,

I spoke with Simons and Associates today about Autozone. They indicated that the "as built" conditions results in
a rise in the floodway. Therefore, they recommended to Autozone regrading the site ,as well as, acquiring an
easement from Jax to regirade the adjacent site. Some of the work will require removing existing curb and gutter,
as well as fairly significant site regrading.
I told Simons Associates we will need a complete submittal including flood plai n/fl oodway analyses, site grading
plans, and site drainage plans, etc. I expect they will submit sometime next week.
As you know I will be out next week at SDIC. I plan to review the floodplain analyses when I return. Please don't
give them a go ahead until I review the floodway analyses.
You guys should determine whether the proposed regrading involves other departments. Kerrie was at the initial
meeting so let her know. 'Thanks.

Dear Mr. Ellis,
On January 23, 1996 the Colorado Department of Transportation mailed a State Highway Access
Permit for your signature. As of today's date we have not received the permit. The permit authorized
the access to your Autozone store located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The access was constructed prior
to the compilation of this permit.
Please obtain the Permittee's signature and return it to this office.
If the Department does not receive the signed permit within 15 days from the date of this letter, we
will file our copy of the unsigned permit along with a copy of this letter requesting your attention to
this matter.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
I,
