RE: Street width Policy Variance
Request: Kinqstowne P.U.D.
Dear Mauri:
Pursuant to our October 30, meeting to discuss certain
driveway and street width dimensions for the Kingstowne Village
P.U.D., I understand that as a matter of "proper form" you are
requiring a written variance request to the October 27, 1980,
Administrative Policies and Procedures for public streets,
private driveways and parking lots. Consequently, on behalf
of the P.U.D. applicant, I am herein requesting a variance to
Policy C which Reads as follows:
Private Multi -Dwelling Unit Drivewasy are Acceptable
in P.U.D. Projects.
The driveway must be for 3 or more units and have a
minimum total width of 24'. The drive must be under
150' in length measured from the flowline of the
public street and can only connect to one public
street. All service (i.e. fire, police, trash)
shall be considered to be taken from the 36' public
street from which access is taken.

RE: Kingstowne PUD - Final Plan (#117-80A) Extension Request
Dear Mr. DeField:
In response to your request for extension of the final plan referenced
above, the following conclusions are made:
1. Kingstowne PUD - Final Plan (#117-80A) was approved by the Fort Collins
Planning and Zoning Board on May 26, 1981. The final plan was valid
until May 26, 1983.
2. Various extension requests have been granted up to October 15, 1984, a
period of nearly 16 months. The Planning Director has authority to grant
two six (6) month extensions administratively.
3. If you so request, the Kingstowne PUD will be reviewed by Staff and
revisions to be made updating the plan will be forwarded to you or the
appropriate design professional which must be addressed before the
project is submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board. The Board will
review the project and may then grant up to a one year extension.
4. If you wish to proceed with this extension, the following deadlines are
in effect:
a. A letter must be submitted requesting the extension to go before
the Planning and Zoning Board as soon as possible.
b. Revisions addressing the comments below are due by May 31, 1985.
C. If the revisions are acceptable to Staff, the extension request
will go before the Board on June 24, 1985, or June 26, 1985.

RE: Kingstowne Wood P.U.D.
Dear Bill:
The Development Agreement addresses street oversizing reimbursements due to the
developer for street construction cost on Horsetooth Road. However, the
Development Agreement for this P.U.D. has not been finalized at this time.
This letter will state the City's position on reimbursement for street oversizing
for Horsetooth Road.
1. The developers responsibilities of construction costs includes 4' of
sidewalk, curb and gutter, and a 12' wide asphalt lane on Horsetooth Road.
2. Street Oversizing will reimburse the developer for actual costs incurred to
oversize the street to arterial standards. This includes sidewalk over 4'
in width and any additional paving work over the 12' wide lane.
3. The developer's responsibilities for the box culvert on Horsetooth Road is
18' of length (measured perpendicular to centerline). Street oversizing
will reimburse for costs incurred in constructing the box culvert to
arterial street width. The developer is responsible for the construction of
wing walls and parapet walls for the box culvert.
4. Street oversizing will reimburse the developer for 50% of the earthwork
costs to relocate the irrigation ditch.
Your earlier correspondence reflects an accurate calculation of the division of
costs between the developer and street oversizing. If you should have any
questions, please feel free to call me at 221-6605.
Sincerely,
AaCt/ '

The variance request is for a reduction to the pavement
width from 36 ft. to 28 ft. for the two cul-de-sac streets
Lancelot Court and Guinevere Court. From our discussion on the
basis for the 36 ft. width, namely to assure emergency and
service vehicle access, you appear to agree with the contention
of John Dengler, project architect with Gefroh Associates, and
with myself that this width requirement is not applicable to
this specific situation on these cul-de-sac streets for several
reasons.
First, the particulars of both unit architecture and
street design assure approximately 2.5 times the amount of park-
ing, namely 1.75 spaces per two bedroom unit, required by the
P.U.D. ordinance. Specifically, each townhome unit contains a
two car garage with adequate room for two tandum parking spaces.
Each cul-de-sac provides a common parking lot at the turn-
around area. This guarantee of adequate parking reduces the
basis for two -sides -of -the -street parking and assures the work-
ability of a 28 ft. wide street for the purposes you have set
forth.
Second, the variance request is for Lancelot Court and
Guinevere Court only which are short cul-de-sac streets con-
taining relatively few units, thereby, reducing the probability
of access problems. Additionally, a 36 ft. wide street could
confuse motorists that these are thru streets and, consequently,
bring unnecessary traffic onto these streets.
Finally, neither the City nor the applicant desires
excessive pavement areas in order to provide protection against
highly improbable occurences. As Assistant Traffic Engineer

Maurice E. Rupel

Rick Endsdcrf stated at our meeting, in his opinion the 28 ft.
width in this instance is sufficient for both emergency vehicles
and service vehicles. We feel that the initial guidance given
by the Engineering Division at our two Conceptual Review meet-
ings pertaining to the adequacy of the 28 ft. width for these
two streets, despite the fact that this guidance occured prior
to the Administrative Policies and Procedures, was well -reasoned
and appropriate for this situation.
With respect to the recent 24 ft. width requirement for
driveways serving 3 or more units, we intend to make the appro-
priate modifications to the P.U.D. upon Final Plan submission.
The widening of certain driveways can best be done in conjunc-
tion with more detailed architectural design which the appli-
cant intends to do at the time of final site and landscape
plan design.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
very truly yours,
Lester M. Kaplan

Re: Street width variance request
Kingstowne P.U.D.
M
In reference to your variance request for the two 28-feet flowline
to flowline cal -de -sacs, we are in agreement. The acceptance to
the variance is due to your unusual design as shaan on the proposed
preliminary plan submitted to Planning on October 6, 1980, and to
the design merits as laid out in your request. The variance will
remain in force as long as no major changes occur in street layouts
or in the number of parking areas.

RE: Ki-fgstowne P.U.G.
Dear Mr. Richardson:
We are -leased to submit the final Utility plans for the Kingstowne
P A.I. for your approval. We are also including the red -line comments
receive! from you last week. Your comment; were addressed by revisin_
the enO wn and Takinn drafting changes in the most part. The tollowinc
comm(nk are made in support of certain other items.
1. In regard to the projection of Horsetooth Road flowline
design eider direction from the subject project. To
the west ou� proposed centerline elevation at the Kings-
towne property line is 5107.9. A high point exists
approximately 1700 feet to the west at elevation 5121.2
(which ;provides substantial gradient for extension of
street cosine. To the east our proposcd centerline
elevation .,t the Kingstowne property line is 5095.0.
At the intersection of Horsetooth Road and Shields St.,
approximately 1000 feet to the east. the existinc
elevation i. approximately 5080.0 "hich provides sub -
star n al gradient for extension in thit, directior also.
P. The R valve designation requested for street design has
been diqcu,sed witf you personally and it is our under-
standing we are to use the recommendations set forth by
Ecpire Laboratories Geotechnical Report. It is also our
understanding that Kingstowne is responsible for new
construction on Horsetooth Road to the property line and
that the City will add any necessary width to complete
the section to the opposite side of existing paving as
portion of oversizinq contributions.

Dear Jack:
I've briefly reviewed the drainage plans for Kingstown P.U.D. and
wagonwheel Subdivision. It appears that the over property at the
northwest corner of Horsetooth and Shields should provide enough
on -site detention to restrict the 100-year discharge to 9 cfs.
This discharge should be directed to the northeast corner of the
site, where it will drain north into the culvert under Shields between
wagonwheel and Cunningham Corners.
we can discuss this in more detail when you submit utility drawings
and a drainage report for our review. If you have any questions
before then, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,

to October 15, 1984, on the condition that the design of Senaca Avenue
be upgraded from local street status to collector street status to conform
with the Master Street Plan as adopted by Council on March 17, 1981.
In addition, several changes in utilities have occurred since the original
approval and need to be worked out prior to the issuance of any building
permits.
I will be happy to arrange a meeting with the affected departments at your
