HomeMy WebLinkAboutCREGER PLAZA - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2003-07-31x PLANNING OBJECTIVES Located at the center of a rapidly urbanizing Fort Collins, Creger Plaza is afforded exceptionally good access to the region. Direct proximity to Harmony Road, Horsetooth Road, and College Avenue provides optimum accessi- bility to and from major roads and activity centers. This proposal is for an 80,000 square foot neighborhood shopping center including, as a major tenant, an Albertson's Food Market. Also planned are retail, restaurant and office uses. The proposed 41,384 square foot Albertson's store will be the largest shopping facility in the city of Fort Collins with special features that will equal or exceed the competition in town, and the added drawing power of Target and LaBelles under construction one half mile south, should help the proposed Albertson's serve the area better. The extension of Mason Street and McClelland Drive and a possible crossing of the C & S Railroad provide direct access to a number of new residential market areas. These include: the Woodlands, Larkborough, Chism, Park South, and Foothills Park. It is estimated that 50% of the market for this center will be from the south and west of the site, thereby minimizing the traffic impact on College Avenue. The property zoning at present permits freestanding commercia'; uses. Consolidating the _ises into a neighborhood shopping center planned unit development, as proposed, will reduce the traffic volume generation on the adjacent streets, and thereby, minimize traffic conflicts and the impact on traffic operations. Precedent is important both in terms of understanding the natural market forces which caused existing development and in anticipating requests for future uses of the land. Land use planning must. take into consideration the level and timing of market support for the various types of real estate developments. All the current competition within the primary trade area is located on Colleye Avenue, causing market shares to decline rapidly north of the proposed site. Currently, there are an estimated 8,850 people per store, thus showing that the trade area is capable of supporting another retail shopping facility. ENGINF.MDC SERVICES 1. d.

The subject of this meeting was to discuss the extension of Mason Street South of Horsetooth Road, which includes crossing an existing pond. This pond area represents some drainage problems, which are the subject of a proposal prepared by our office. The resulting study would address the alternatives for providing drainage through the properties to the South of the pond. The proposed location of Mason Street was discussed, and it was agreed that the 200 feet to 250 feet depth to the rail road right of way is optimal. Dr..Collopy indicated the possible relocation of the New Mercer Ditch to the West side of the rail road. This is being studied. Emphasis was placed on the advantages of working as a group to achieve individual objectives. It was brought out that particularly in the fringe near the city limits,this may be the key to gaining cooperation with the city and county. Harry Cornell is to discuss the ditch relocation and drainage conditions with the engineers at M & I. In addition, a subsequent meeting with all affected property owners was believed to be desireable.

We have prepared a proposal which addresses the problem of extending Mason Street and reclaiming the pond. This proposal was the primary subject of discussion. Those present discussed the following during the course of the meeting: 1. :Property o mers to the south should be contacted relative to participation in the study, and any resulting construction. ;Peid Rosenthal agreed to make these contacts. 2. The group considered the need for an agreement expressed by Reid Rosenthal for the Creger Plaza Project. Those property a,mers adjacent to the pond would in effect agree to accept storm water in the pond from the Creger Plaza Project until such time outfall drainage can be provided. It was pointed out that the project will not be developed until the year 1980 - - This agreement is necessary for city approval. continued on p2 Apr i 1 19 , 1978 Re: Meeting of April 14, 1978 r Continued from page 1 3. In regard to completion of the proposed study by Cornell Consulting Company, it was pointed out that the Preliminary Phase can be completed in approximately three to four (3 to 4) weeks from the time we receive notice to proceed.

Laporte Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear N1r. 'Parsons: Several or the property owners in the NE4 of Section 35, T7N, R69W, east of C & S Railroad, have joined together in contract with this office to study drainage and detention alternatives for their properties which currently contain a natural drainage depression with no surface outlet. The property owners desire to commercially develop this area. A feasibility report of drainage and detention was prepared for the landowner:3. The report contained several alternatives for drainage and detention. Based on economics and the community development implications of the various alternatives it was the strong desire of the larndowners to facilitate drainage via a storm sewer located immediately west of College Avenue and discharging into 'fail Creek south of Harmony Road. Detention would be handled by providing shallow storage areas in parking lots. A storm sewer sized to convey the two-year natural dis- charr;e was considered to be the most economical in terms of construction costs and land utilization. For this 35-acre site, a 30-inch diameter storm sewer was appropriate. See enclosure for vicinity sketch. The location of a storm sewer along College Avenue has several advantages. Not only was it found to be the cheapest of the methods studied, but its location eriables utilization by adjacent developing properties. This is seen to be a distinct advantage in order to result in facilities useful to the community at large, rather than resulting in piecemeal facilities which would probably be less cost-effective. I£ a multi -property storm sewer was planned, its size should be increased accordingly and its funding should be similarly distributed among the participants. Other advantages are that its planned route is currently undeveloped, so no major construction complication would exist; it does not require a crossing of College Avenue, and it requires the least depth of cut of any method studied. Because of the features, it is strongly recommended that the City consider this alternative for storm drainage in this area, not only as a single - purpose structure but as a neighborhood -wide facility. L r. Y.a 4r w August 21, 1978 Mr. Don Parsons If you have any questions regarding this plan, please contact this office. Very truly yours, Robert T. Mohler, P.E. /t Eno 1. IV" -747 September 11, 1978 Gentlemen: • Grp b• /", t — At. a meeting held on Tuesday, Septali )er 4, 11)78, the storm runoff drain prorX-)seC by (reger Plaza, Cre(-er ' s Autonutive_ Plaza, Dick ' s Datsun, C.arth Rone'rs, ,and the Prime w,-is -lis ussed. Primarily, these wx re the points of cnnte.ntion : It was ft:lly understood by the group that the im)st serious timing .factor was on the part of Milo Birnker, and it was agreed that the install- ation of this proposed line which TX-Juld rn.an from the Cre(jer Depression to (q q Creek would cause some tirr,(- in the Oc,c,elopim-nt plans for the Troutnian r:rot-*-1r cy. In addition, it w;�s aq'reed that all those individuals o%nincr property along Socrth Collec;e 11vcrn;e between Horsetoo th and EaVmony Rcads .,4xulcl participate in the construction of the line on a pro -rates share basis dl?-� acreage. rTr.-)utmn prox-rties could contribute only to t-hc,,� viiat they had been planninq to srK2nd on the twenty- ' four inch storm drain outlined in their utility plans for the eastern edge of their property. It was generally agreed that the installation of one line would solve problems for the property owners, the City, and the Glitch ccur ny. In addition, in the case of tie Troutman property, it �,xDuld offset any nc�c,! for oversize detention or trace problems stel,-1ninq from placement cf the catch Msins necessary on IroutmZn Parkway. It was agreed that Cornell. Consulting would do the design of the drainage ti le, and that the plans r,aould be foarwarcic,d upon their completion to Muri RiWl at City T-Ingineer:ng, Inui_e lAgift, of New 'Mercer Ditch, and Lloyd Mc l aughl in of m & I ingineerinc . At this 1x�i nt, a mcu3ting wrnlld be held to discuss any final chanc-es or re-,,,i.sions, final plans Ux)uld lxa drafted, and the project put to bid. The proposal has attempted to accomodate both traffic and pedestrians and incorporate landscaping as an amenity to the center as well as to the streetscape. Textured paving crosswalks have been introduced to facilitate people crossing traffic, and to slow thru traffic. A parking to building ratio of 5 cars per thousand square feet has been illustrated and with the mixed uses, would appear to be adequate, especially considering the "cross - shopping" concept of a neighborhood center. The proposed Albertson's will be of wood, textured block and stucco construction, providing an architecturally pleasing facade. With architectural and landscaping control on the ent-'re project, this proposal provides an effective as well as a necessary and desirable land use. 1� September 11, 1978 Page 'Itao In order to allow immediate development of the Troutman's property, Cornell consented to relavin(the grade and size of the tile of Troutman P<-irk,o),ay by Y-)n(by, the 18th of September, 1978. 'I'his information will passed to M & I Engineerina forthwith. It was also agreed that constniction of; the line would take place from the point of beginning outlined in th-> M & I Dlans for the Troutman Property, and will be con}- M41L_ pleted to its exit at(?a__ Creek. The cost of this stretch of line, less the cost of the line already proposed by the Troutman property, ��r)uld be borne by the other South College property owners. It was agreed thaa upon acceptance of final. bids for the project, a legally drawn pro- rata acreage agrr,:rtent woald be signed by all parties. Mauri R-Lpel., from, City Rngineering, said that imder no circumstances would the City permit any type of permanent lift station due to on- going costs and maintervalnce responsibilities. He also stated his desire regarding cooperation between all the property owners on one drainage line. Louie swift of the New P,Iercer Ditch Company conmented that he could see no problems with the proposed line, and that in fact, it was Ix)ssible thaat the New Mercer Ditch Ccvpany did not exercise control_ of that particular stretch of Creek in anv event. ViL Reid Rosenthal asked Iiouie Swift to please contact Bill. Stover in order to Have any legal docuT nts necessary to outfall in iv4ayo Creek drafted as soon as possible. The one question left unanswered at the meeting was the inclusion of Park South :s a participant in this line. It was determined that Louie Swift and Kauri F�uple would decide if Park South did indeed have permission IT) dl-zq) their detention water into the New Mercer Ditch, or if in fact, Park So::h should participate in this drainage line. It was emm)hasized that tine was of the essence in this decision as the inclusion of Park South would obviously necessitate a line of larger diameter and thereby affect final engineering. -,he other alternatives discussed at the meeting, , including running the drainage line down the easa-ment toCreek, were disallowed due to the (Treat expense of cut, the minimtun slope problem in the line, and the possibility of sub -grade outfall at .N12yo Creek. It was acrr_eed by :Al present that the property owners lying south of the `I'mutrrvn properties would also he included in this line, as it was felt by the City that their ;approval of any plans for store detention on those sites was contingent upon the connection of a line such as this proposed. September 1.1, 1978 Page Three Tt wns also agreed by all those present that cooperation was of tantanyDunt il7x-;mince to the economic liability of all the co Tx--r_cial sites lying .L -'(- 7o,en ik)rsetooth and IIar_runy Roads west of Colleye Avenue. A was felt LO t proposals benefiting any one individual property, and location, sizinq, and installation of this line, and of McClelland Drive, would serve to raise the values of all the properties in this mile. 1f there are any questions or additions please call-.

You will notice that the drain is within fifteen feet of South College Avenue at all times with the exception of the radius of the two corners at Harmony Road and College Avenue where the line is placed more than fifteen feet from the road but still within the State Highway Department right-of-way. In addition, the:line is approximately forty feet from College Avenue on the south side of harmony Road until it outfalls in Mayo Creek drainage. The main reason for this location of the line in your southern property is the great increase in depth entailed in placement within fifteen feet of College Avenue. If you remember, the contours of your land is such that the ground rises rather sharply from the location of the line to College Avenue. To place the line within fifteen feet of College Avenue at this location would entail much extra time and expense. It was our feelings that in all probability, because of the location of Mayo Creek and the existing contour of land, that you would be placing parking and fulfilling green space requirements in that forty feet sometime in the future, be it yourself or another developer that finally improves the property. In addition please be advised that the cost will be divided on a pro-rata acreage basis. It is assumed that the costs will not be above, and may in fact, be substantially lower than $2,000 per acre. In any event, it is our group's decision that you will mwcFEncE Mr. Paul Heffron September 1.9, 1978 Page Two be responsible for the pro-rata acreage share for your property to the north of Harmony Road upon the tap in to the line or in four years, which ever is sooner. Your property line to the south of Harmony Road, because it has natural drainage to Mayo Creek, will. not be asked to participate in the cost of this drain line. I would appreciate a phone call from you no later than Friday of this week as work has already begun on the LaBelles and Target sites and time is of the essence to all the property owners within the mile. As I stated to you on the phone, Paul, it is my feeling that cooperation between the property owners within this mile can only serve to heighten the values of all property within the section. I might point out, too, that the City will issue no final approvals on any development plans for any property located within this mile of ground unless they have indicated their willingness to join in a collective effort for this one drainage line which is, unfortunately, a necessary item to us all. In addition, I think that over the long run every property served by this drainage line will be saving a great deal of time and expense through lessened detention pond requirements and far less overlot grading and', drainage plans. Looking forward to your call and thanking you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely, Reid L.

Rupel, Development Engineedza� SUBJECT: McClelland Drive Interceptor Storrs Sewer The Storm Drainage Engineer and the Development Engineer have reviewed plans and drainage calculations for the subject project. We are unanimous in our opinions that the subject design is the best solution for the removal of storm waters from Creager Plaza, Fossil Creek Conmercial Plaza and those unplated and plated areas lying between Horsetooth and Harmony Roads east of Colorado and Southern Railroad. This means of disposal of these storm waters provides the most direct route to the eventual natural drainage (Mail Creek) and disrupts the least number of developable sites as well as eliminates the need of crossing the extremely busy highway of South College Avenue. We would' rend that the various property owners within the area mentioned above proceed to construct this interceptor storm sewer with utmost speed and further recommend that the City offer its assistance by the formation of a special Improve-ent District. to achieve this end if the owners are unable to provide the financing through their own means. cc: Lucia Liley, City Attorney !:RECEIVED AU G 2 8 1979 1 i(-AI H I H g )epartment WILLIAM C.

(#157-79) Gentlemen: P. O. BOX 523 4B2-3664 AREA CODE 303 On your September 10, 1979 agenda appears the above -captioned application. Neither the developer nor anyone on its behalf has contacted any officers of The Larimer County Canal No. 2 Irrigating Company or The New Mercer Ditch Company. At first glance, it would appear that any substantial development on this land, particularly a large parking area with impermeable surface, would have potentially disastrous effects on the ditches of one or both of these companies. We urge that no approvals be given for this particular project until ditch company approval is obtained by the developer from both companies. This letter would tend to contradict in some ways a recent policy - type letter sent to you by The New Mercer Ditch Company and, to a certain extent, another letter of policy sent to you by The Larimer County Canal No. 2 Irrigating Company. However, in view of the potential grave danger such development might cause, with irreparable injury, I believe the ditch companies should have direct input in this matter, and their approval required.

I don't know, and 1 am not interested in, the terms or conditions of the Albertson's sale to your Division; however, since my name and that of m company are on the site plan currently established at the City, and because representations were made to the City by myself concerning the evolvement of that site plan in the approval process, I must request that I be kept informed of any attempted changes whatsoever in the format of the site plan, the location of the buildings, or in materials and aesthetic appearance of the exterior of the buildings. As you know, that ground was sold to Albertson's under a set of architectural controls and restrictions. These controls or restrictions will be strictly enforced by myself and by Creger Plaza, Ltd., which controls the balance of the ground on the twenty-two acre site and which. of course, was the selling entity in the Albertson's deal.

The short leg of Mason.Street north of Horsetooth Road has been aligned and continues through Creger Plaza bi- secting the property. One point of ingress and egress has been provided on US 287 approximately 730 feet from the intersection of Horsetooth and US 287. A frontage road has been recommended paralleling US 287. A single curb cut on Horsetooth Road is recommended approximately 270 feet from the center line of Horsetooth and US 287. The parcels fronting onto US 287 have been sized in excess of two acres to allow a P.U.D. approach to their final development. The parcels west of the proposed Mason Street are sized to provide more flexibility, however, if combined into multiples of three, they would also satisy the two acre requirement for P.U.D. development. The parcels fronting onto the Colo- rado and Southern Railroad have a minimum of 200 feet of depth. It is anticipated that the land use of Creger Plaza will be a combination of office and commercial uses. The existing adjacent users include Horsetooth Lanes (bowling alley) and College Motors (car dealer). Surrounding zoning within the city is HB (highway business). Surrounding zoning within Larimer County is as follows: West - M (Multi family), C (Commercial) North -I (Industrial) C (Commercial) South - C (Commercial) East - T (Tourist), C (Commercial) October 17, 1980 Bellamah Corporation P.O.

They have advised us that contrary to the terms of the protective covenants recorded regarding said property and also in violation of the terms of the original agreement between Creger Plaza and Albertsons wherein Albertsons purchased said lots, you have made a number of changes in.the original plans for the development of said lots which were presented to Creger Plaza, Ltd. Had Creger Plaza, Ltd. been notified of some of these changes, they would not have approved the same. As a result of your failure to notify them, additional expenses will have to be incurred to complete the off -site improvements, they have experienced numerous problems with the City of Fort Collins because the City has not been Kept advised of the various changes in the plans and quite possibly, some of the remaining properties .in the subdivision will be diminished in value unless some of the improvements constructed on your property are removed. Obviously, these are very serious problems and ones to which Creger Plaza must give their immediate attention. Therefore, this is to advise you that unless representatives from your Company immediately meet with representatives of Creger Plaza, Ltd. and resolve the various problems which have arisen, I have been instructed to commence legal action to enjoin any further activity on the property until these matters are resolved. This is a drastic remedy, but is one which must be taken in order for Creger Plaza, Ltd. to protect their interest in the remaining lots. Yours very truly, Jack D.

I understand your concerns regarding the Albertsons development underway by Moore and Company. I have listed below the improvements outlined in your letter of the 27th of October, with their current and projected completion dates: 1. Bridge on Horsetooth Road: Moore and Company and Creger Plaza, Ltd., are now discussing whose responsibility this will wind up to be. With a little luck and with the weather holding, the bridge work from date of start to time of completion should last about six weeks. 2. Curb and Gutter: It is installed on Creger Drive, Mason Street and College Avenue. Horsetooth is under dis- cussion between Moore and Creger Plaza, Ltd., but can most certainl,r be completed if there is not an early freeze. 3. Pavement: Will be completed on Mason Street and Creger Drive by Creger Plaza, probably this month. College Avenue is the responsibility of Moore and Company. Obviously, Horsetoo-th Road cannot be paved until the bridge is completed. 4. Sidewalk on College Avenue is the responsibility of Moore and Company. 5. Curb and gutter on the parking lot is the responsibility of Moore and Company. THE PIER • PHEASANT RUN • HARBOR WALK • PARK CENTRAL STONEHENGE TIME LANDINGS 0 BOARDWALK 0 PARK PLACE 0 CREGER PLAZA Mr. Josh Richardson November 10, 1980 Page Two The items on which you would like to see 150 percent of responsibility through escrow accounts, lines of credit, or other acceptable means before releasing the C.O., include: 1. Sidewalks along Creger Drive, Mason Street and Horsetooth. The responsibility for these is being discussed with Moore and Company. However, the only problem area would seem to be Horsetooth. All.should be completed by December 15, weather permitting. 2. Final pavement of Horsetooth Road and Mason Street. This is solved by Item 3 above. Any problems existing with the project with other departments at the City, primarily Planning and Traffic, is the responsibility of Moore and Company. I would, at this time, like to mention several things: a. -`1. Nowhere in our utility agreement, signed by the City and ourselves, does it mention that the specific improvements listed within your letter are necessary for a C.O. 2. The lowering and moving of the large gas line down Horsetooth Road is the responsibility of the City according to other developers and the gas company. No work can proceed on the bridge until the gas line is moved. I would suggest that you contact either Jack Bevan or Mike Martin at Western Slope Gas ;- Company so that this can be affected and that work can commence. 3. As you know, there are several problems existing in defining areas of responsibility between Creger Plaza and Moore and Company. In addition, this is compounded by the fact that the Architectural Control covenants recorded on the property :in 1979 had been seriously breached by planning changes by Moore and Company. It is my hope that these situations will be resolved in time for Moore and Company and ourselves to complete the improvements necessary to the timely opening of the Albertsons Center. However, it is important to us that we do not undermine the integrity of the project for a mere expediency. a 4. I think it only proper that if escrows are recorded for several items for the eventual release of the C.O. (if Moore and Company and Creger Plaza iron out their differences), that the City should chip in its share of oversizing to the escrow account. Mr. Josh Richardson November 10, 1980 Page Three We will be keeping you completely up to date and informed on our progress of negotiations between Creger Plaza and Moore and Company and Albertsons. In addition, we will be notifying you immediately of any change in the scheduling or responsibility outlined above.

Tim Rodgers Osprey Homes 1113 Druid Drive Ft. Collins, Colorado Re: Horsetooth Road widening at Albertson's Dear Tim: On November 24, 1980 Dale Puller of Sterling Paving called to my attention the street section details on the approved Creger Plaza utility plans. This detail indicated 6" of base course, and 2" of asphalt pavement for the widening of Horsetooth Road along this subdivision. I researched the subdivision agreements at this time and found that: 1) a soils report was never submitted to the City as required in the Street Specifications, Design of Streets, Paragraph 3., Testing, 2) in a letter dated June 8, 1978 fran Marc Engenoen of the City to Jim Dubler of Cornell Consulting, one of the changes indicated before final City approval of the utility plans was an arterial street section detail for Horsetooth Road, 3) no other street section detail appears in any other approved plan for this subdivision, including Albertson's site plan. I concluded that the change indicated by Mr. Engemoen was overlooked during final acceptance by the City. On December 1, 1980 I informed Mauri Rupel of the above facts. He indicated because there was no soils report, the street section shall be constructed to minimum arterial street sections (eight (8") inches of base course with four (4") inches of asphalt), as indicated in the City's new policy for asphalt street paving, which became effective this spring while the present street specifications are being reviewed. As you are aware the specifications and plans are intended to supplement each other, and together constitute one complete set of specifications and plans, so that any work exhibited in the one and not the other, shall be executed just Reid L.

A median in Foothills Parkway at College Avenue is scheduled to be ocampleted by 1982. This median, with the canpletion of the frontage road, will allow for traffic north and south bound on College to access your property from Monroe Drive. The City has also stated that the frontage road along College will be improved from Foothills Parkway to Monroe Drive. No date has been set for this construction at this time. Two processes are normally used to finance this type of improvement. One is to have the developer corn -Lit to making the improvements now or at some future date. The other being an improvement district in which all affected parties share in the cost. When the frontage road is comrpleted, it is planned to close all curb cuts along this area.

The center presently contains an Albertson's market and several other retail stores. Fotomat proposes to construct a Fotomat kiosk and to operate a retail business. The proposed kiosk is a double drive-thru. The proposed site for the kiosk (on the North side of the parking area) was selected for a number of reasons: ;. The proposed site is out of the main traffic lanes, thus not causing any traffic problems. 2. The area selected has the lowest parking use, and; site was agreed to by Landlord, since it will not .nterfere with parking of other tenants, their customers a;;„i employees in the shopping center. The double drive-thru is proposed to avoid any stacking probieps. The double drive-thru allows for two (2) cars on ea,:;: side of' the kiosk, or four(4) total. This is more than adequate for Fotomat's operation. Our business is very fast; ,:astomers hand in their film for processing, or pick-up their finished photos and leave. If the customer is paying for photos, the price is already computed and printed on their en,-elop; the Fotomate (our retail clerks) merely ring the re,�,ster and returns the customer's correct change. Page 2 For some reason, and I guess that it is because people are in such a hurry these days, when there are two cars waiting at one of our kiosks, the next person parks and walks up to the window or drives to one of the other shops in the center to shop and returns to us when there is no one waiting,. Though most drive-t:hrus require five (5) stacking, we believe that four (4) stacking in this case is more than adequate. As a matter of information, Fotomates normal hours of business are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and closed on Sunday. We train all of our Fotomates locally, and set up working hours for part-time work; many of our employees are college students and senior citizens. The Fotomates are in constant contact with their supervisor (both in person and by telephone). Each store is routed once each day for pick-up and delivery of merchandise and inspection and maintenance of the kiosk. We hope that this will answer your questions. Fotomat brochures are enclosed for your inspection; and hopefully wish that this proposed kiosk will meet with your approval.

Sincerely, Matt Baker Engineering Construction Inspector cc: Moore & Company 390 Grant Street Denver, CO 80203 CITY OF FORT COLLINS DATE: February 26, 1982 TO: Josh Richardson, Engineering FROM: Matt Baker, Construction Inspection lvf RE: Furr's Cafeteria - 101 Creger Drive As you are aware, the building permit for this address was released before the approved engineering plan was signed. It appears that the general contractor began building according to the site plan, and has never received an engineering plan from his office. Although this is not our concern, it became evident to me after an inspection on February 19, 1982 that the site plan and engineering plan for the parking lot curb are not the same along College Avenue. I see this as a potential problem, in that the engineering drawing of the painted "access lane" is inaccurate, according to what is being constructed now. I feel that I do not have the authority to resolve the problem. 3� a a _. _�6�'net;,;r* .'i$._r it n.acf 3'a�%.'an"'?}g ,,,ki".t;f''�. ;er•,4.'�-�- .'Sc.'?ax'F.^n�h.<.'s<u.

Landon Senior Vice -President Albertsons, Inc./General Offices Boise, Idaho 83726 Re: 7#8-P Horsetooth & College Fort Collins, CO. Dear Mr. Lannon: Your letter of December 28, 1979, concerning the above subject location, has been reviewed by the Department of Public Works and the following comments are offered. 1. Host direct access to College Avenue has been prohibited by Council policy for sometime. Only at major arterial intersections has the City modified this rule. The Albertsons project was given direct access to College Avenue under this criteria and the traffic circulation consider- ations. Dur'ng the hearings for the above project, discussion was held regarding the installation of a median on College Avenue between Horsetooth and Harmony. The City indicated this probably would not happen within the next, three to five years. However, should funding become available, the City will be obligated to construct the island. Albertsons with their current circulation patters, will have excellent access to all points in the City even if a median island is installed. 2. Albertsons fee for the development parcel would be $18,000 as indicated in your letter. ftiever, the expenditures associated with the turnout lanes would not be the City's responsibility. Should you have any contact Maur: Rupel, Streets and 7raffic. questions regarding this matter, please feel free to our Development Engineer, or Bob Lee, Director of Very truly yours, -"'Roge kenrpeI , P.

Dear_ Mr. Kremple: Albertson's, Inc. recently received PUD approval for property located at the southwest corner_ of Horsetooth Road and South College Avenue from the Fort Collins City Council. This letter should serve to clarify certain understandings in connection with that approval. 1. The City of Fort Collins, including but not limited to departments and agencies; agrees that until such time as Mason Street is extended south to a major arterial street which has a signalized intersection. with South College avenue, unlimited left an& .right turns off South College Avenue will be permitted at the intersection of Creegor Drive. 2. Albertson's, Inc. agrees to pay to the City of Fort. Collins the sum of $18,000 ($2,000 per acre of the property subject to the PUD approval) as its contribution to the City's fund for the over-' sizing of street improvements. Said monies are to be paid on or before the time that Albertson's obtains a building permit for any improvements located on the property which received the PUD approval.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Dear Mike: This is to inform you that we understand that the small swale behind the walk on Lots 8, 9 and 10, Creger Plaza, will retain some water at the time the fill is placed for the South Fort Collins Veterinary Center P.U.D. which will be located on Lot 7, Creger Plaza. We realize that each lot will be graded so as to provide onsite detention and discharge stormwater into the existing storm drain in Mason Street when it is developed. Since our lots have no impervious surface, the runoff being blocked will be historic. We do not have any objection to the grading plan proposed for Lot 7, and we understand our lots will not drain onto Lot 7. We trust this will answer your concern. If you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, 11 - - Pa rsbn and Associates,. i � No Text CORNE11.
