Gentlemen:

It is our understanding that a sixty -lot residential subdivision is to be
located east of Boardwalk Drive between Whalers Way and Harmony Road
in southeast Fort Collins, Colorado. Based on geotechnical investigations
prepared by Empire Laboratories, Inc. on adjacent properties, it is
anticipated that the soils at the site will consist of silty and/or sandy
silty clays underlain by siltstone bedrock. The clay soils at the site are
anticipated to be slightly to moderately expansive. Based on our
experience on adjacent properties, ground water should be encountered at
depths of six (6) to nine (9) feet below the surface at the site. Based
on our knowledge of the general geology of the area, geologic hazards are
not anticipated at the site.
Based on the general subsurface and geological conditions at the site, it
is our opinion that the property is suitable for the proposed residential
construction. It is recommended that a complete geotechnical investigation
be performed at the site prior to construction to determine the subsoil
and ground water conditions at the site.
Very truly yours,

RE: Cross Pan Variance
Engineering & Surveying
tele.303-663-2065
Ttem #1 ; We are requesting a variance from the minimum grade on the
cross slope of the pans abutting Whalers Way and Maxwell
Circle in the proposed subdivision of "The Mallards" in
"The Landings P.U.D.". Our proposed pan falls at 0.5%; the
City of Fort Collins standards reads 0.6% for this kind of
application. The difference in percentage makes 0.09
hundredths of a foot difference at the West entry and 0.09
hundredths of a foot difference at the East entry of
Whalers Way and Maxwell Circle.
Item P,2; Cross Pans, Section 1.02.03.12, item "C", page 13,
"Minimum grade on cross pans at flowline of pan shall
be 0.60%.
Item 143; The City of Fort Collins standards can not be met due to
the existing flowline of Whalers Way is presently built
at a 0.50% grade. To achieve a 0.60% slope on the cross par.
for Maxwell Circle the existing walk and curb and gutter
would have to be removed both to the East and West on
Whalers Way to accomadate for the standard cross slope for the
proposed entry into Maxwell Circle. This would constitute
un-needed removal of asphalt and concrete.
Item #4; No problems are foreseen by the varied design.
Ttem #5; No public health,safety, or welfare problems will be created
by this varied design from the standard.
