RE: Registry Ridge PUD I't Filing — Trilby Road Railroad Crossing
Dear Gregg:
In accordance with the Development Agreement for the above titled project, the
Developer is obligated to escrow funds with the City in the amount of $58,000 to
guarantee completion of the railroad crossing improvements. In our conversation last
fall, I explained to you that the BNSF Railway Company wanted to enter into the
agreement with the City rather than the Developer for completion of the improvements.
In order to do that, it requires that the Developer pay the City the amount necessary to
cover the railroad improvement costs, before the City can enter into the agreement with
the BNSF. You mentioned that that would work for the Developer. You may want to
amend the Development Agreement to match the revised conditions. Contact Sheri
Wamhoff to do the amendment.
We just received the estimate from the BNSF. Attached for your review is a copy of the
BNSF letter transmitting the estimate and an agreement. In addition, I talked with Bob
Carter, the person who sent the letter, about the possibility of the actual cost being greater
than the estimate. The possibility does exist. Therefore, I request that you deposit with
the City cash in the amount of $40,000 to cover the costs. Any funds remaining after the
final billing from the BNSF, will be reimbursed to the Developer.
I must receive these funds before I can take this agreement to the City Council, to
appropriate the funds and for the City to enter into the agreement with the BNSF. As
soon as I receive the $40,000, I will proceed with the crossing project. I will not hold it
up for a revised Development Agreement.

RE: Scenic Knolls. Water Association
Dear Ms. Miller:
'file intent of this letter is to verify that the street construction on South Shields Street is an
interim improvement. The Land Use Code of the City of Fort Collins requires all developments
have access to an improved Arterial Street ( with this project Shields is the arterial), and if the
access does not exist, they are required to upgrade the street to a thirty-six ( 36 ) foot wide cross-
section on a base adequate to accommodate the ultimate design, or they must construct the
arterial in accordance with the City design standards criteria, ( this would be the ultimate design).
In most cases developers elect to construct the 36 foot interim design at their cost. Which is the
case with the Registry Ridge Development.
For your information I have inclosed a copy of the cross-section that will be similar to the
ultimate design of Shields Street as well as a drawing that shows approximately what is being
constructed as an interim improvement by the Registry Ridge developer.
As I stated previously, the Shields Street design proposed by the Registry Ridge developer is an
interim design and Shields will be improved to the ultimate design with a cross section as per the
attached detail sometime in the future.
Hopefully, this information is useful and if you have any questions, please call me at 221-6605
Sincerely,
7�1

Dear Ms. Liley,
This letter is in response to your request for a variance to the Street Design Criteria for Street Lighting for the
Registry Ridge PUD First Filing, addressed to Gary Diede on March 27, 1997.
The request was for a reduction in the required number and wattage of street lights along Trilby Road,
particularly west of Ranger Drive. In addition, the request was for a reduction in the number of street lights
adjacent to the large lots on Forestel Drive and Wainwright Drive of the Registry Ridge PUD First Filing.
First, the Director of Engineering has determined that street lights will be only installed on the south side of
Trilby Road at the intersections of Trilby Road / Ranger Drive and Trilby Road / Shields Street. No
additional street lights will be installed on the south side of Trilby Road at this time due to the location of Tri-
State power lines. However, when the construction of Trilby Road is fully complete (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on the north side of Trilby Road) it is anticipated that street lights will be placed along the north
side of Trilby Road in accordance with the City Street Standards that are in effect at that time.
Second, the Director of Engineering has denied the request to reduce lighting on Forestel Drive and
Wainwright Drive- Standard street lighting will occur along these streets. In support of this decision the
director notes the following:
The combination of a distance of more than 400 feet including a row of single-family homes
between the existing homes on the north side of Trilby Road and Forestel Drive provides an
adequate transition from rural to urban lighting conditions.
Registry Ridge PUD is an urban development. Therefore, urban lighting standards are
appropriate.
If you have any questions, please call me at 221-6750.
Sincerely,
�M
