Dear Mr. Stringer:
I am writing regarding the cross -pan on the north side of the intersection of Outrigger and
Longboat Ways in Richard's Lake P.U.D., Filing 1. As you know, it was constructed with
a width of 6.3' instead of 20' as required on the plans. However, it does exceed the City's
minimum standards (which require a width of at least 6' or as mandated by the City
Engineer).
We will not recornmend removal and reconstruction of the cross -pan unless you require it
for long term operational or maintenance related reasons.
Please call if you have questions or would like to discuss this issue.
Sincerely,
'6

RE: Richard's Lake Off -Site Road Comments dated July 29, 1999
The pavement design submitted by Inter -Mountain Engineering will need to be
revised to address the high swell soils as indicated by the swell consolidation tests
included in the report. Also the City will need to review the EDLA numbers used in
the calculations of the pavernent thickness.
RESPONSE:
This situation was discussed with City representatives during a meeting held
September 29, 1999 at the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department. At this time
it was decided that this was an issue that needed to be handled internally by the City
of Foil: Collins.
If you have any questions regarding this response, or any additional questions, please call
at 970-949-5072.

Dear Mike:
u_
This letter pertains to the request for a variance from the
"Design Criteria and Standards for Streets" for the centerline
radius of a local street in the Richard's Lake PUD. Whitesail
o Cove is proposed to have a centerline radius of 143 feet.
N There is existing water- and sewer utilities within this street
rn
0 cross section that follow this alignment. There will be a
0
o stop sign at its intersection with Richard Lake Road. This
rn street is classified as a local residential street. The
posted :speed limit on these streets is typically 25 mph. With
z this variance request, a residential lot on the inside of the
0
horizontal curve has been eliminated as a building site.

The standard centerline radius for a local residential street,
from the cited reference, is 240 feet. The design speed is
30 mph for this radius. Using the 143 foot radius, the
calculated speed is 2:3 mph with the same e + f value (0.-'5)
used to calculate the 30 mph design speed. Based upon a
review of the site plan for Richard's Lake PUD, it is
estimated that there will be 100 daily vehicle trips, 7
morning peak hour trips, and 10 afternoon peak hour trips on
this segment. These drivers will primarily be comprised of
residents of this segment of Whitesail Cove. This cal c.l_'.`._�d
speed, coupled with =--he familiarity of the users and the
existing utilities, leads to the conclusion that the variance
to the 240 foot centerline radius should be approved. The
elimination of the residential lot will provide adequate
stopping distance sight lines across the inside of the
horizontal curve. The smaller proposed radii will not create
a hazardous condition. Based upon a field study using various
vehicle types, advisory speed signs may be necessary.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: Richard's Lake P.U.D.
Request for Variance from Street Design Criteria
Dear Matt:
February 17, 1998
This letter is in response to your letter dated February 2, 1998 in which you requested a
variance from the City's Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for
Streets, Sidewalks, Allevs and Other Public Ways (the "Criteria"). The City's response follows:
1.02.03.03 Horizontal Radius
In the proposed Richard's Lake development one street, Morningstar Drive (errantly
called -'Parkside Drive" in your variance request letter), does not meet the minimum allowable
centerline radius for a Collector street, as specified in Table 2 of the Criteria. Morningstar Drive
is designed with a 530' radius which is les than the 610' minimum allowed in the standards.
Because the posted speed limit on this street is anticipated to be less than the calculated design
speett as detailed in your letter, the request for the variance of design standard 1.02.03.03 for
Morningstar Drive is granted.
1 hope 1 have addressed all of your concerns. If you have any questions, feel free to contact my
staff and they will direct your concerns on to me.
Sincerely,
David Stringer, Development Review . lanager

Subject: Richard's Lake PUD, Filing 1 -
Expiration of Portions of the Development Plan
Dear Mr. Price,
The City of Fort Collins has determined that portions of the approved Richard's Lake
PUD, Filing 1 have expired because the Term of Vested Right, set forth in Section
2.2.11(D)(3) of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, has not been satisfied. This
section of the Code states:
Within a maximum of three (3) years following the approval of a final plan or
other site specific development plan, the applicant must undertake, install and
complete all engineering improvements (water, sewer, streets, curb, gutter, street
lights, fire hydrants and storm drainage) in accordance with city codes, rules and
regulations. The period of time shall constitute the "term of the vested property
right".
It further states:
Failure to undertake and complete the development within the term of the vested
property right shall cause a forfeiture of the vested property right and shall require
resubmission of all materials and reapproval of the same to be processed as
required by this Land Use Code. All dedications as contained on the final plat
shall remain valid unless vacated in accordance with law.
The portions of the Richard's Lake PUD, Filing I development plan that have expired
includes Lots 28 through 134 (single-family), Lot 294 (multi -family), Tract J
(neighborhood park), and Tract U (commercial) because the required engineering
improvements in these areas have not been completed within 3 years of approval of the
final plan by the Planning and Zoning Board, being May 4, 2000. Therefore, the vested
property right has been forfeited.
