Ramsey D. att RDM:rdn cc: Dan Jensen May 5, 1977 TO: Roger Krempel, Director of Water and Sewer Utilities FROM: Don Parsons, City Engineer le TIIRIJ: Roy Bingman, Director of Engineering Services 6214 RE: Cedar Village Subdivision Sanitary Sewer The utility plans for the Cedar Village Subdivision, located on the south side of Drake Road approximately z-mile west of Shields Street, were submitted to the utility department staff for their review and comment. It was requested by the utility department staff that Hanover Drive be aligned so as to center the existing 12-inch sanitary sewer within the right-of-way, rather than 5-feet from the fl.owline of the curb and gutter as shown on the plans. 'The reasons for such a request were the concern of storm water inflow into the sanitary sewer system, the cost of curb and gutter replacement in the event re- pairs on the line should actually require excavation, and uniformity of utility locations within street rights -of -way. Should Hanover Drive be shifted to the east, as requested, it would require a new l-Ayout for all lots east of Hanover Drive. In addition relocation would require that the storm sewer be located east of the sanitary sewer on Hanover Drive. This would increase the cost of storm sewer installation by increasing the length of catch basin laterals and the outfall line, while -not reducing any construction costs on the sanitary sewer services. Given the above consideration we have evaluated the utility layout to alleviate the problems which your staff brought out. It is recommended that the manholes subject to stormvater inflow be constructed with waterproof rings and covers. If maintenance or construction records indicated an above average possibility of having to excavate this existing sewer, we would consider altering the pro- posed alignment. However, available information indicates that the sewer was properly constructed and has not been a maintenance problem. The standard specifications for sanitary sewers are considered as guidelines. In the event of special circumstances, such as the one under discussion, a vari- ance should and must be considered. Given all considerations, we feel that the utility plan should be approved with minor revisions. Should you have further comments concerning this matter, please contact me.

BOX 580, FORD COLLINS, COLORADO 80522 PH (303) 484-4220 WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES April 14, 1978 Mr. Bruce Miller APR 19 1978 2600 Hanover Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Mr. Miller: This is to recap our conversation of April 13, 1978. After our initial discussion of why and how the 15 inch sanitary sewer came to be installed along the west side of Cedarwood Drive north of Prospect Street, Pat Polifka and I requested an easement,conceding that this request was after the fact since the line was installed. You indicated that you had several concerns over the future ability to further develop the west side of Cedarwood because of the constraints imposed by a sewer easement. After discussion of those concerns, you raised the further issue of some $15,000 that the City was holding relevant to the development of a detention area north of Cedarwood Subdivision on property owned by Mrs. Minatta. Mr. Polifka indicated that he had been negotiating with Mrs. Minatta and hoped to have the matter settled shortly. You stated your desire to have the issue resolved quickly so that you could terminate your involvement with that subdivision. You indicated a willingness to grant the easement for the sewer on Cedarwood if you could get an early resolution to the problem with the detention area or release of your escrow amount of $15,000. I stated I would work with Pat and that I would talk to Roy Bingman about release of the escrow. Later that same day, I talked to Roy and he indicated he would look into releasing all or part of the escrow. I hope you find this to be an accurate summary of our conversations. Please contact me if you feel there are significant errors or ommissions. I will continue to work with Roy and with Pat Polifka on this matter and will keep you informed of progress. Yours truly, Dzl-t Tom Hays, .E. Senior Water and Sewer Engineer cc: Roger E. Krempel Roy Bingman'' Pat Polifka
