City of Fort Collins, 80522-0580
Dear Craig;
The Dixon Canon Reservoir Company agrees to the changes proposed to the ditch system that serves Spring
Canyon Community Park and Tefft Acres. The proposed changes to the ditch system will improve the
availability of water to the park and to Tefit Acres.
The proposed change to install a new pipe from the existing clean out in Pineridge Natural Area to the
splitter box near the Cottonwood Glen Park pond is an important improvement. The present pipe has
considerable seepage loss to the south. The connection for the Cottonwood Glenn lateral is deteriorating
quickly. This adjustment will result in a considerable savings in water loss and maintenance efforts which
will eliminate the need to encroach on the Natural Area for repairs in this area.
The new pipe line to be installed from the splitter box across the park to the Teffi Acre property line will
replace a considerable distance of deteriorated pipe and open ditch. The new pipe with storage basin and
Parshall Flume will be a much needed improvement.
Thanks to the City for working with the Reservoir Company on these needed improvements.
Sincerely,�-
Michael G. Calhoon
President Dixon Canon Reservoir Company

Master Street Plan amendment for Spring Canyon Park
DATE: June 27, 2005
Following review of the Transportation Impact Analysis for the road network impacted
by the proposed Spring Canyon Park development, Transportation Planning, Traffic
Operations and Engineering staffs are in agreement that the current facility type
designation of Horsetooth Road, from Taft Road west, can be downgraded from four -lane
arterial to Collector with Parking. The arterial designation on this portion of Horsetooth
Road is a vestige of earlier plans when Overland Trail was intended to connect south to
Horsetooth. This arterial -arterial connection was removed from the MSP in the mid
1990's and as a result Horsetooth does not warrant this intense a design west of Taft
Road.
Transportation Planning Staff will amend the Master Street Plan to reflect this change in
facility type as part of the annual MSP cleanup. Please let me know if you have any
questions or if I can provide you with additional information.
