RE: Request for Variance from City Standards
on Horsetooth Commons
Dear Mr. Herzig:
I am writing this in support of the request for the following variances:
1) Width of McWilliams Place and Centerline Radius on two curves.
2) Minimum centerline radius on Richmond Drive.
1) We are proposing a 28 foot flowline width for the east -west portion of
McWilliams Place with two curves, one a right angle and one with a
centerline radius of 157.55 feet.
a) The north -south dimension on this property is particularly narrow. If
we provide a standard 36 foot wide street with a 54 foot right-of-way,
there is insufficient room for the project.
b) The 28 foot flowline width street with off-street parking provides the
same number of parking spaces as would a 36 foot street.
c) The cul-de-sac is standard and accommodates fire trucks. With all
parking spaces full, emergency vehicles have identical maneuvering room
as a 36 foot street with all parking spaces full.
d) The more westerly curve on McWilliams Place is designed to function
like an intersection with 20 foot radii on curb returns. The more
easterly curve has a radius of 157.55 feet. It is sufficiently close
to the cul-de-sac that traffic passing through it in either direction
will be traveling at much less than 30 miles per hour.

2) We are proposing a 344 foot centerline radius for Richmond Drive. Richmond
Drive currently exists as a street within Skyline Subdivision and an
internal street within Cunningham Corner PUD. Future plans call for
completion from Cunningham Corner to Shields. The configuration of
Richmond Drive is thus set between the two intersections with a centerline
radius of 344 feet. This is workakable if posted for a 30 mph design
speed. Moreover, nearly all traffic entering Richmond Drive will be
traveling only a short distance before leaving the project or turning off
Richmond Drive.
We trust this information meets your requirements for supporting our variance
requests. If you need any additional information or have any questions, please
let me know.

For your information, Public Service Company made a request to
John Barnett, representing Horsetooth Commons, for the final plat of
Horsetooth Commons to include an eight foot wide utility easement for
an existing 14" gas main presently located 15 feet south of the north
right-of-way line of Jane Street across tracts "A" & "B" of Horsetooth
Commons. This line presently serves the five duplexes on the north
side of Jane Street.
