We understand our portion of the estimated costs to complete the public improvements proposed for that location to be $9,455.95, as calculated below: Work Quantity Unit Unit Price Cost 30" Vertical C&G 99.00 if 18.50 $1,831.50 Crosspans & Aprons 310.00 sf 5.15 1,596.50 4" Flatwork 665.00 sf 6.65 2,826.25 Handicap Ramps 132.00 sf 5.35 706.20 Type R Inlet 5 1 ea 2,050.00 2,050.00 Temporary Patch 3.71 t 120.00 445.50 TOTAL $9,455.95 We have been told that for work which cannot be completed in advance the City requires a deposit of 150% of the estimated cost. The excess 50% for the above would be $4,727.98, requiring our total deposit to be $14,183.93. We agree to deposit a Letter of Credit in that amount with the City of Fort Collins.

Box 429 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Re: 200-220 West Prospect Request for Variance from Street Design Criteria Mr. Rutherford: December 29, 1997 This letter is in response to your letter dated December 4, 1997 in which you requested a variance from the City's Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and Other Public Ways , July 1996. 1.02.12 a(2) Driveways Parking off of driveways shall meet the parking setback requirements on Table 5. The parking setback requirement from an arterial street is 50 feet and as stated in you request for variance causes many hardships to the owner and tenants in loss of available parking. Due to this hardship and the safety improvements to the site from its present condition this variance request is granted. Sincerely, David Stringer, Development Review Manager DWS/mkd cc: Richard Anderson, Jim SeII.Ted Shepard, Mike Dean 'SI A'orth Collet;(, Av enue • i'O. Box _,80 • Port Collin,, C(_) M522-0h80 • (8701 ^_21-,,n0l; STEWART$ASSOC(ATES Consultins Engineers and Surveyors December 4, 1997 Mr. Mike Dean Engineering Department City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Mike, This is a request for a variance of the parking set back from an arterial street on behalf of the owners of200-220 West Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado. The P.D.P. Site Plan prepared for Richard L. and Eleanor P. Anderson by Jim Sell Design and dated November 4, 1997 delineates the four parking spaces that do not conform to Table 5, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and Other Public Ways dated July 1996. The two buildings on the site have had existing business for approximately 30 years. Due to a change in use to one of the buildings a P.D.P. was required and the site is required to conform to the 1996 Standards. The standard setback from the North flow fine of Prospect Road to parking spaces is 50 feet. The reason for the setback is to avoid conflicts between vehicles backing out of parking spaces and vehicles entering the driveway. The other reason is to allow stacking in the driveway while not restricting backing movements from parking spaces. Presently there are approximately 40 parking spaces on the site but with the proposed site plan the number of parking spaces will be reduced to 24. This reduction causes the owners and tenants a hardship but the hardship will be even more severe with the loss of four more spaces. The proposed site plan has numerous advantages to the old site plan. The existing site has a continuous curb cut to the parking lot from Prospect Road and the P.D.P.will limit access to one 30 foot curb cut. A. landscaping area will buffer the parking lot on the East side. A new detached sidewalk will be added along Prospect Road. A parkway will be added with turf and street trees. All of the above additions are justification for the approval of the variance. Another justification is that the new curb out and driveway are 30 feet wide rather than 24 feet wide and there are proposed 15 foot radii on both sides of the driveway which allows quicker and safer movements in and out of the driveway. James H. Stevaart and Assoca`es. Inc 103 S Meldrum Street P.O. Box 429 Ft. Collins, GC 80522 970/482-9331 Fax 970/482-9382 The parking space on the East side of the driveway (7) does not have the problem ofbacking out into the entrance/exit driveway which also justifies the variance for that space. If there is out going stacking behind the three parking spaces on the West side of the driveway (8, 9 and 10), they will have to wait to back out but they will not cause a conflict with an entering vehicle while waiting. There are far more benefits to the proposed site plan than potential conflicts and so the variance should be granted. Sincerely, Richard A. Rutherford, P.E. & L.S. �9 5028 rrc % A o• (9`70 )XT �; 7 �; December 1, 1997 Department of Engineering City of Ft. Collins Ft. Collins, Colorado RE: Project #30-97 200-220 W. Prospect Rd. Parking Spaces 7,83,10 Department of Engineering My landlord, Richard Anderson, recently showed me plans regarding proposed landscape improvements and reconfiguration of parking spaces which will affect my office. It is my understanding that the city wants to eliminate parking spaces 7-10 in front of the building where my office is located. Having been a tenant at 220 West Prospect Road for several years, I can attest that limited parking has always been a serious problem for my office and the other tenants at this address. Any decrease in parking spaces will only compound the current parking problems. Currently there are about 2 spaces for the customers of each business to park in front of their respective offices. Any decrease in parking spaces will greatly impact the business of each office. In my particular situation, people with severe back rain are unable or unwilling to walk any farther than is absolutely necessary. The majority of my patients are in acute pain and require close and easily accessible parking. Patients already complain how difficult it is go get back on Prospect during peak rush hours or after a train has backed up traffic for several blocks. Any further inconvenience will undoubtedly have a- negative impact on my business. 1 request that you forgo the elimination of any parking spaces in front of this buildir.^ for the convenience and comfort of illy patients and. the needs of the other tenants. Sincerely; Parry `D. Moline, D.C.
