Spencer March 7, 1994 Mr. Richard M. Kellogg JR Engineering, Ltd. 6857 South Spruce Street Englewood, Colorado 80112 Design and Construction Engineering Ross W. Shaw Re: Coventry Subdivision, Harmony Road at Crest Road Dear Mr. Kellogg; I have received your letter requesting a variance from the requirements of Larimer County regulations for the reconstruct: ion of Crest Road. Your client is constructing a subdivision along the west side of the road which subdivision will be located within the City of Fort Collins. The subdivision will require reconstruction of Crest Road to serve lots which will be located on the west side of the road. The variance would allow reconstruction of Crest Road with a 28 foot width from flowline to flowline instead of the normal standard of 36 feet. Curb gutter and sidewalk would be constructed on the west side of Crest Road and curb and gutter only would be placed on the east side of the road the reconstructed road would be reconstructed slightly east of the center of the right of way. I have reviewed this request and will approve it with the following conditions: 1. The president of the homeowner's association or other representative of Brookwood Subdivision must sign off on the final construction plans for the reconstruction of Crest Road. The approval of this variance is with the understanding that the reconstructed road may not meet development standards if the east side or other part of the area is developed or redeveloped. 2. Final construction drawings and specifications will be presented for review and approval by this office prior to BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Courtlyn W. Hotchkiss Janet Duvall Jim Disney District I District 11 District III commencement of construction. 3. During construction, this office will conduct an inspection of the road at completion of the subgrade prior to placement of road surfacing material. 4. As an alternative, this office is receptive to a four foot gravel shoulder- roadside ditch section for the east side of Crest Road, provided that the homeowners association in Brookwood approves the plans. This would allow greater flexibility if the east side of Crest Road should be proposed for development or redevelopment. 5. The east side of Crest Road must be signed for no parking. Please let me know if you have any questions on this matter. Thank you. ARe cere1 1A. Burns Larimer County Engineering Department cc: Michael Herzig, City of Fort Collins Planning Department MEMORANDUM PROJECT: The Coventry Subdivision DATE: March 22, 1994 TOPIC: Continuation of Review Process TIME: 9:00 A.M. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Glen Schleuter, City of Fort Collins Storm Water Management, he informed JR Engineering, Ltd. that the City was not entirely satisfied with the completeness of the RBD Report for Mail Creek and that an additional scope of work was going to .be issued to RBD to further investigate the flows on the south side of Harmony Road, and the possibility of detaining them in a regional pond, location to be determined at a later date. Glen wanted to inform us of this since it would affect the review of THE COVENTRY SUBDIVISION by City Engineering. Glen suggested that we might consider phasing the construction of this project in such a manner that the construction could continue except for the lots.along the north side of East and West Bentley Place, these lots could be constructed after RBD completes the additional study on Mail Creek. Mr. Jim McCory was approached with this idea and is agreeable to phasing this subdivision at this time. Glen also indicated that the City would probably be willing to pick up the cost of the additional 36" storm pipe under Harmony Road and share the expense of the new proposed drainage improvements under Hinsdale Road and Crest Road. cc: Mr. Jim McCory, Colorado Land Source, Ltd.

The change to the interse ion would realign the curb, gutter, sidewalk, and associated tapers four feet to the we This request was based on retaining existing trees on the east side of Crest Road which were planted and have been maintained by the adjacent property owner. This same property owner also has planted and maintains similar trees on the west side of Crest Road. Attached is an I I" X 17" schematic plan showing the "Original Plan" approved by Larimer County, and the "Redesigned Plan" discussed with you. (A copy of this drawing was submitted to your office on October 10, 1995, by the undersigned.) At the time of our telephone conversation on October 6, 1995, you stated that the realignment woLLld be acceptable assuming that both sight distance with respect to the retained trees and drainage conditions were still met. I told you at that time that I would investigate both conditions and respond. Sight Distance - The sight distance triangle would be viewed from northbound Crest Road onto eastbound Harmony Road. The existing tree locations allow for adequate sight distance both to oncoming traffic on Harmony Road from the west to departing traffic eastbound on Harmony Road. Additionally, this intersection is a stop condition, which allows for increased sight distance without impeding Harmony Road vehicular traffic. Roadway Drainage - Due to the minor change in the horizontal roadway alignment, no changes were required to the vertical alignment. Therefore, no changes in surface runoff have occurred from the original approved plans. Recycled Mr. Rex Burns October 24, 1995 Page 2 Since a four -foot sidewalk was proposed along the west back of curbs, the trees on the west side were removed and set back and replanted to allow for the realigned sidewalk location. We have included the general quantities as they relate to the "original" and "redesign' plan. As you cart see, no significant changes in quantity have occurred. Based on your verbal approval on October 6, 1995, the contractor was advised of the changes, field survey relocated construction stakes, and the '`Redesigned Plan' has been " implemented.�� We appreciate your concern for the adjacent property owners request to retain the location of the trees on the east side (the trees on both the east and west side do lie within the roadway right-of-way) and your immediate approval and direction which allowed construction to continue. We will provide "As Constructed" plans for your files upon construction completion. "Thank you very much for your time and effort in this revision to the plans. Sincerely, JR EXgineering,4Ad.

College Avenue Ft. Collins, CO 80522-0580 RE: COVENTRY SUBDIVISION FT. COLLINS, CO Dear Mr. Stringer, After much discussion and several meetings, TAC is providing our understanding of remedies to the combination curb/walk that is not within specification. The non-compliance is not enough flow in the curb pan caused by only 1/2 to 5/8 inch difference between lip and flowline instead of 1-3/8 inch per City Specifications (too flat) . The City has agreed to allow us to try to increase the flow by cutting an additional one half inch at flowline. A test section will be cut and sealed with a sand grout epoxy, inspected by the City for approval prior to continuing. If for whatever reason the above solution is not acceptable, mTn ' 1 l a`. ,.- l-, a-i.. -7 „, b, F_,. t11 ,- '^1): ..i}h a concrea- 1iiL.

This operation will also be inspected and approved by the City. The final least desireable option is complete removal and replacement of the entire existing combination curb/walk. The process to create an instrument to cut the half inch of the existing pan is being created by our people. The test section will occur as soon as weather allows. All repairs will be completed within 90 days from the date of this agreement (April 15th) .
