Re: Poudre Valley Kingdom Hall — Northeast Corner of Timberline and Kechter
Request for Variance C — Driveway Spacing
Proj: 242-01
Dear Sheri:
The following is a request for variance from Table 7-3 — Fort Collins Technical Design
Standards — 2-Lane Arterial —Distance Between Driveways and Street Intersections in the
"Latimer County Urban Area Street Standards, October 2002".
This variance is also requested to allow the proposed drive into the site on Kechter to be closer to
the Timberline and Kechter intersection than the 330' minimum dimension specified in the
Standards. The drive is proposed to be located 316' east of the intersection (centerline to
centerline) which is within 5% of the desired separation. This location is near the east property
line and the greatest distance from the intersection possible. In the interim, this will be the only
access available to the site and in the ultimate condition, a shared access will be provided on the
lot north of the Kingdom Hall site.
Because the access separation nearly meets the minimum criteria and traffic will be slowing in
anticipation of the intersection, it is not anticipated that this variance from the above Standards
will compromise the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or
additional information that YpA may need for the approval of this variance.

Kingdom Hall Comments
The TIS for the Kingdom Hall project is only a memo due to the low trip generation. There is no
roundabout analyses required for the project.
Previous TIS' in the area conducted the analyses for a roundabout at Timberline/Kechter and it has been
determined to be a good location. However, given the political climate and the unlikelyhood of a rbt ever
being built at this location, further analyses is not required.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Eric

Memorandum
Date:
November 16, 2005
Project:
Kingdom Hall PDP
Topic:
Off -Site Easements for storm water conveyance
To:
City of Fort Collins Staff: Ted Shepard, Sheri Wamhoff, Wes Lamarque
From:
Deanne Frederickson, Project Planner
CC:
This memorandum is intended to document the steps that have been taken to secure
off -site easements for conveyance of storm water from the Kingdom Hall property to
Stetson Creek, located north of the project. To date, we have not been successful in
obtaining letters of commitment from the property owners, and wish to proceed with the
Kingdom Hall application with a proposal to provide on -site retention located on
proposed lot 2, of the Kingdom Hall Subdivision. The project team has made a diligent
effort to avoid this solution, but feels it is necessary to move forward with the project in a
timely manor.
There are 7 private property owners that were contacted for easements, as shown on
the attached exhibit. Letters were sent to each landowner, who was then invited to a
neighborhood meeting to discuss the details of the easements. At the meeting, owners
of 4 of the 7 properties signed a letter of agreement for a drainage easement on their
property. A second meeting was held with 2 additional property owners, and one letter
of agreement was then signed. The remaining 2 property owners chose not to reply to
our requests for consideration of this issue.
A second letter was sent to the remaining property owners with no reply, and phone calls
were not returned.
The general climate among the property owners in this area is that there is a lot of
pressure to sell their properties to various developers who have contacted them recently.
They hesitate to dedicate easements for fear it will limit their use of the property, or limit
the value of the property during purchase negotiations.
For these reasons, the applicant respectfully requests that this project be allowed to
provide on -site storm water retention until an appropriate outfall can be established as a
result of future development plans in the immediate area.

LETTER OF INTENT
Drainage Easement
City of Fort Collins, Colorado
This letter serves as a letter of our intent to dedicate to the City of Fort Collins an
easement as shown on the attached diagram. The purpose of the easement is for the
conveyance of storm water from and through our property.
We understand that a standard Easement Agreement, with appropriate attachments and
legal descriptions, will be prepared by others and presented to us for our final approval.
The Terms and Conditions of such an easement agreement will be standard practice for
an easement of this type, and will include provisions for the following:
1. The City of Fort Collins and construction crews will be allowed to access my
property for the construction of the easement.
2. The construction crew shall repair, at its sole expense, any damage or disturbance
to my property due to construction activity.
3. We will have full use of the easement property as long as it is consistent with, and
does not impair the function of the easement.

That makes sense. I think we will be building the ultimate except for the curb and walk on the south. There is no
good way to scab something together for an interim solution. So that is what I will be submitting. Thanks for your
input.

Yes - I guess that is what it pretty much comes down to.
The south side of the road would not have to be built to ultimate
x-slope grades or conditions if that is a problem for tying into
existing grades. For what ever portion of the street is built to
ultimate conditions (beyond the developers local street portion of the
improvements) the developer is eligible for street oversizing
reimbursement for the center portion of the street (oversized portion)
and can file for reimbursement from the property on the south for any
portion of those improvements that are to ultimate conditions and will
not need to be rebuilt when curb and gutter is added on the south.
How much of the street is built to ultimate conditions impacts what the
developer is eligible to be repaid for and possibly if they would still
owe for the local street portion. If the developers local street
portion of the street is not built to ultimate, but I just an interim
paving solution provided the developer would still owe the city for the
cost of ultimately building its local street portion.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

Okay, so are you saying the entire section on Kechter should be
constructed? If I am correctly reading your email, you are requesting
56' (2 thru, right turn, left turn and bike) of pavement plus the
existing bike lane/shoulder (maybe 8') and the ultimate section is 64'
flowline to flowline. So essentially, build the ultimate section except
for the curb, gutter and walk on the south side?

On Kechter (west bound) a right lane, a thru lane, a left turn lane
and
the bike lane are all needed and required with this project. The
existing eastbound thru lane and bike lane/ shoulder also need to be
maintained.
Thus this needed widening brings you out to the ultimate edge of
pavement, so it really doesn't make sense for the Kingdom Hall to
have
to pay for the same amount of pavement twice (interim and ultimate
pavement). I am not quite sure how you would be able to deal with
getting the parkway grades and trees in the ultimate location if the
pavement edge is at its ultimate location, but not ultimate grade
(not
really any transition room). Interim construction and escrowing for
rebuilding the roadway to ultimate is something we can look at if we
have major issues with transitions or something.
Let me know if you have questions.

Sheri,
What laneage is required in the interim on Kechter? Specifically,
are
the left turn lane and the bike lane required (I know the right turn
lane is)? This is in conjunction with the development of the Jehovah
site so the frontage is only 300'.
Also, is there an option to widen the pavement on Kechter and escrow
for the permanent improvements? I ask because there will be a
significant reconstruction area to get the curb at the ultimate
vertical
location and is it worthwhile for 300' of improvements.
Thanks,
Tricia
