Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Reference: Redtail PDP — Fossil Boulevard Request for Variance for Cul-de-sac Geometry Dear Mr. Stringer: The intent of this letter is to request a variance for the cul-de-sac geometry as detailed in the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). The cu-de-sac is located on Fossil Boulevard at the north entrance to Redtail PDP. Fossil Boulevard is an existing street to the currently platted north property line of Redtail PDP. At the south end of the street the existing east and west curb and gutter terminate at existing stormwater inlets. The existing Fossil Boulevard is approximately 37-feet wide (flowline-flowline). The proposed cul-de-sac will have three new 24-feet wide drive approaches that will allow access to the new development. The proposed cul-de-sac is on a local street per section 7.6.1 of the LCUASS. The proposed layout of the cul-de-sac was provided by the City of Fort Collins. After plan revisions were made and resubmitted for review it was noticed that the layout provided by the City corresponds with the LCUASS but is not what is normally allowed in the City of Fort Collins. However, it was recognized that the proposed layout meets the intent of the City of Fort Collins cul-de-sac and in this case fits well with the adjacent site improvements. An exhibit of the proposed cul-de-sac is included with this variance request. The proposed cul-de-sac meets the required centerline dimensions and interior angles as detailed by 7-24B of the LCUASS. The overall width of the cul-de-sac is also per the standard detail. This variance is being requested due to the items listed below: 1) The cul-de-sac does not meet the required radii at the northeast comer. See the attached Exhibit "A" of the cul-de-sac for the specific radii that are not in compliance. The area out of compliance has been clouded with a bubble for ease in identification. 2C0 Past Prospect Road, Suite 190, Fnrt Collins, CO 80525 970-491-9888 • Fax: 970-491-9984 • www.jm.&wring... 04/12/2002 14:16 FAX 970 491 9984 JR ENGINEERING QI003 u' I 1 t c Y i i i i I BE88Y I I t 1 1 I t t L00 1 c I l 1 Croft 6'$BEY l wup 9 9M trweiam Y'ENV i \ l 8 \ 1 1 �9 K� \ PP Y \ it \r 9 0. ♦t ?N 1 9 C 1 1� Ae 2002 1)9:90 60 ti udy nMi 6MP'J64P909116£\s6ucMeu0\909i16£\IIe'000016£\:X 04/12/2002 14:16 FAX 970 491 9984 JR ENGINEERING 1@004 / 1-15�v i 'rnrglla, A — — - ne d00Z EV:lt:60 11 Jdtl ny1 6Mp•u64p909Ij6E\s6uceed0\509Iti6E\Iie'000016E\:X LAGUNITAS FOSSIL CREEK INC. 3944 JFK Parkway, Suite 12 E, Fort Collins, CO 80525 970-226-5000• Fax 970-226-5125 July 22, 2002 City of Fort Collins P.

Under separate cover I delivered a copy of this plan modification to you at your office. I have also given copies of this plan and discussed it with Kevin Wilson, Cameron Gloss, Cam McNair, and Doug Moore, and have explained to them how this new solution for emergency access is not just an emergency access solution but also substantially reduces wetlands impact, provides a soft path / trail for north — south pedestrian and bike connectivity, and is a solution to these needs which can be built immediately as part of the project as an alternative to a solution tied to obtaining railroad easements and construction of the Mason Street Transportation Corridor. Accordingly, I hope you will see fit to lend your support to this solution And as a footnote, I would like to point out that we have all been struggling with this difficult project now for over 2 '% years and would appreciate it very much if we could make the modification of our site and engineering plans for this project to include this new emergency access road as a condition of staff support, thus permitting us to move forward more quickly to P&L Thank you for your favorable consideration of the foregoing.

I really believe that the addition of the meandering 20' emergency access roadway (roadbase surface, not asphalt) connecting the Redtail project to the south to Fossil Creek Boulevard at the north will solve all of this project's major problems and permit both staff and later P&Z support. This has become possible, as 1 mentioned, because of our new understanding that we can backfill the section of the banking in this area as necessary because we are impacting only waters of the US, not wetlands, provided of course we do not impact the outflow channel. I reviewed this solution with JR Engineering and we believe that, with a green light from the City, we can proceed confidently with the engineering design. The benefit of this solution is that it eliminates the environmental impact on wetlands and existing vegetation which would otherwise have occurred on the low side of the outflow of the upper pond, as this is all now moved 20 or 30' to the north (onto the backfill area). Also our waterline looping would occur under this emergency access road which solves all the problems we have had in some previous iterations relating to water pressure and volume. Lastly, there is a substantial ancillary benefit of this solution in that it will provide an easy and direct pedestrian and bike path from the Redtail project to the south north to Fossil Boulevard. Accordingly, Cameron, would you please consider raising the idea with your colleagues, and other department people, that in the current round of review that you all approve this project subject to completing satisfactory engineering plans for this emergency access roadway as proposed above. Of course there will be some other technical p.02 planning and engineering details to be corrected, but I don't believe there should be many. This would enable us to go at this late date (2 Ih years so far) to the finish line, actually to P&Z, with this project with staff approval, efficiently and without another full round of preliminary review. Thank you for your consideration of this idea. Of course feel free to share copies of this letter with your colleagues and / or I would be happy to meet with any or all of you. Best regards.

Any additions or corrections or otherwise, please let me and / or Tricia know. Thanks. 1. We are willing and planning to run Redtail Court through the north pond as requested, however, feel strongly that the location of this crossing should be a northerly extension of Redtall Court for several reasons: a. From a planning standpoint it is a far better project to continue Redtail Court north as shown on the last preliminary plan permitting the "townhouse — carriage houses (garages plus one and a half stories) to provide an attractive street frontage along the west side of Redtail Court and most importantly a substantial screen of virtually all of the garage doors, parking, railroad embankment, and railroad tracks. b. We believe the wetlands and habitat area at the west end of the north pond is worth respecting from a natural resource standpoint, as well as the west end, and therefore think that our proposed road alignment represents a good balance between sensitivity to both the east and west environmentally sensitive ends of this pond. c. While we recognize it is not and should not be a paramount planning consideration, the reality of this project is that related expenses have gone up exponentially while the number of units have dropped about 20% since its inception, which make the economics of the project more and more difficult, and sadly make the product less and less affordable — accordingly it would be desirable not to lose and more units. The foregoing notwithstanding, we recognize that it is Natural Resources preference to meander Redtail Court and route it through the pond further to the west. While we respectfully disagree, we will have Mike Phelan at Cedar Creek evaluate the environmental pros and cons of both alternatives. Thursday, November 07, 200212:50 PM Lagunihas (970) 226-5125 p.03 2. North Star will propose alternatives for how Redtail Court can best intersect with Fossil Boulevard in the safest possible manner and requiring the fewest variances. 3. Because of the difficulty of the site, the roadway through the pond, and other considerations, it is possible to meet the code requirement of an averaoe buffer from wetlands in excess of 60 feet, but this average will include specific individual distances of both substantially less and substantially more than the 50 foot standard. We believe this is consistent with the buffer language in the code and the past interpretation of same. Furthermore, in light of the fact that this project now will have about 55% of its net area contributed to open space and landscaping is a relevant overall project consideration in this regard. As far as the wetlands on the natural area to the south goes, a portion of our project's stormwater will sheet flow through grass and vegetation in a fashion that will provide for water quality and enhance these wetlands. The balance and major portion of stonnwater on the site will be directed into one of the three existing detention ponds and will pass through a water quality structure at the south end of the southernmost pond before proceeding onto City property (this will result in an increase In such water quality as currently no such water quality device exists). 4. Regarding the setbacks from the property line for the private drives behind the townhouses, at the northeast portion of the project, we will look at the planning and engineering for this closely in order to comply with code requirements and / or request necessary modifications. 5. Radial] Court width will be increased to 30 feet and the housing and parking in this area moved west 5 or 6 feet and a modification requested for elimination of the landscape screening for parking at the west edge of the property, as the railroad berm already screens this parking. Thank you for your assistance as we move toward the finish line with this project. Best regards.

As previously mentioned, the proposed cul-de-sac meets the intent of the design outlined by the LCUASS details 7-19 and 7-24A. The cul-de-sac will serve as an adequate turnaround for vehicles that have headed the wrong direction. This cul-de-sac does not serve as a dead end street but rather an access to three drive approaches to Redtail PDP. The three approaches proposed will also allow greater flexibility for turning movements. Therefore, it is not anticipated that any public health, safety, and/or welfare problems will be created by the varied design. If you have any questions or comments, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (970) 491-9888. Thank you. Sincerely, John E.

These variances are requested for the northerly portion of the project where Redtail Court crosses the existing pond and connects to the southerly extension of Fossil Boulevard. It is proposed that a "narrow" street section (24' fl-fl) with enlarged attached sidewalks be used for Redtail Court from the pond crossing to the intersection. The intersection angle between Redtail Court and Fossil Boulevard is 80 degrees with a 150' centerline arc out of the tee intersection. The roadway geometry has been driven by numerous factors and in general is a compromise between several departments. The narrow street section will minimize disturbance in the natural area. The intersection has been configured to provide as close to a tee intersections as possible without a major "hook" in it. These variance requests were informally reviewed late last year. There have been minor modifications since then, but the configuration is substantially the same. These variances from the above Standards will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or approval of these variances. 19 Sincerely, Michael Oberlander, P.E., L.S.I.

This variance is requested for the four driveways off of the proposed Fossil Boulevard. The widths for each of these drives are proposed to be 20'. This area is proposed to function like a neighborhood with alleys. All of the garages and parking areas are at the backs of the proposed units. There is a long, narrow drive that parallels both sides of the local street, behind the units. The drive is not in right of way, but is the same dimension as an alley (Drawing 7-11 and 7-12). The local street is not proposed to be "narrow", thus allowing additional parking on the street. In general, we are asking that the drives and drive cuts be allowed to be the same width as alleys. The drive cut would be 20' as shown in Drawing 8-12 — Alley Intersections, rather than the 24' specified in Drawing 7-29B. Because Fossil Boulevard is a dead end; it is anticipated that only residents will be present on this road. Speeds should be low (because of the short length of the street); and because of the tight layout of the multiple garages, residents will need to be cautious when driving in these parking areas. There will be very little traffic on the street, so the narrow curb cut should not pose any dramatic tie-ups in the public right of way. This variance from the above Standard will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or additional information that you may need for the approval of these variances.

These variances are requested for the drives along Redtail Court. Please see the attached drawings showing proposed driveway widths and spacing. The standards state that the minimum drive width is 24' for multi -family and the maximum is 36'. The standard spacing between edges is 12' minimum. As shown in the attached drawings, there are several drives that are less than the minimum 24'. These drive typically serve a finite number of garages and are not "common" for large numbers of people. Neighbors sharing the same building will be the only people sharing these sub -standard drives. There is one location (at the south end of the cul-de-sac) where there is less than 12' separating two drives. All other drives meet the spacing requirement. This area is extremely tight with access requirements, walk connections and utilities. Every effort has been made to meet the standards and have a functional development. The narrow and multiple drives may be a slight inconvenience to the owners, but with the low speeds expected in the cul-de-sac, the "parking lot" nature of this area, and the fact the parallel parking will not be possible in the areas where the drives are the closest together, we do not expect safety concerns. In Variance #2, it was argued that 20' drives are acceptable if they are called "alleys"; that logic holds for this area as well. Based on the information above, we do not feel that varying the Standards will be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or additional information that you may need for tlic approval of these variances.

This variance is requested for the drives to the north and south of Cameron Drive on the east side of Redtail Court. These drives are approximately 60' to 65' from the intersection centerline. This distance is less than the 80' specified in the standards. This standard is difficult to meet on local residential streets. For instance, it is stated in the standards that at a tee intersection, a drive can be used as a handicap ramp, but if the drive needs to be 80' from the intersection, this is not possible. Generally, this standard would require that at any tee intersection, no residences would be allowed opposite the street that is teeing in (it would not be able to have a drive). The proposed drives cannot be moved any further from the intersection with the geometry of the site and the natural area buffers that would be further encroached into. The drives serve a finite number of garages and will not be used as a common drive for large numbers of residents; there are no drives on the west side of Redtail Court in this area. Speeds close to the intersection are expected to be reasonable. Based on the information above, we do not feel that varying the Standard will be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. Please call me with any questions or additional information that you may need for the approval of these variances.

As you will recall, this project is a challenge because of the physical constraints of being bounded by the railroad at the west, the City open space at the south, and ponds at both the north and the east. Assuming that the theoretical possibility of Fossil Boulevard extending south through a pond and natural area to connect with Cameron Drive does not occur, which realistically it won't, then the buildings located at the west are accessed from a single point, namely Cameron Drive. Because this is a dead end greater than 150' long, and a single access more than 660', it will require a modification by the City engineer with the approval of the Poudre Fire Authority. Because all of the buildings are fire sprinklered, and in this fashion, fire safety concerns ' are met, we respectfully request that with the Poudre Fire Authority's agreement and recommendation that you approve this administrative modification. Also, in regard to the length of cul-de-sacs permitted by the street standards, I noticed that they are permitted to be 1,320' long if fire sprinklered (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, Section 7-24a). - s-c.it tvA A- Thank you for your positive consideration of this request and your assistance in helping this ambitious project move forward. Best regards. Jon Prouty JP/hlb March 5, 2002 Ron Phillips Transportation Services Director City of Fort Collins P. O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Redtail Project Dear Ron: Attached is the intermediate context map which you requested. I think this was a very good idea, not just for Transportation but for other departments as well, to help see the extremely difficult and unique circumstances which exist for this property and why some exceptions to general rules and principles are reasonable and necessary. In summary: 1. Property is geographically landlocked — ponds to the east, pond to the north, natural area to the south, and railroad tracks to the west. 2. Good planning and natural resource considerations militate strongly for a sensitive land plan which protects most of the undisturbed natural area (about 50% of the project). 3. There needs to be consideration of the fact that most of the project presently exists as platted property (Cameron Park Second Filing) platted with no roadway extension over the pond to Fossil Boulevard, and with some vested rights with regard to this. 4. The alternative of extending Fossil Boulevard south with right angle turns to the west and then to the south, then joining Cameron Drive a) would require condemnation of private property, including part of a storm detention pond, b) would require partially filling or a major bridge structure over a pond, c) would 3944 JFK Parkway , Fort Collins, CO 80525 • (970) 226-5000 • Fax (970) 226-5125 impact natural area / open space adversely, and d) would result in pond / wetlands disturbance and destruction requiring substantial mitigation (which is probably not physically possible) and requiring Army Corps of Engineers approval (which is exceedingly unlikely). 5. Traffic studies indicate that even if built, virtually no one would use this roadway connection because a) the road would go nowhere to the north except the proposed Mason Street Corridor Terminal only two blocks away, b) there will be excellent pedestrian / bike connectivity to such terminal, c) this road can go nowhere to the south because it is blocked by Redtail Natural Area, d) Cameron Mesa residents will use the signal light at Cameron and College, and e) people to the north will use the planned signal light at Fairway and College. 6. This proposed roadway connection between Fossil Boulevard and Cameron Drive is estimated to cost approximately $700,000 to construct and will, in our opinion, never be built either with private or public money because of environmental considerations and its very low cost -benefit ratio. Thank you for your interest in and attention to this matter. Best regards.

Intersection Options at Fossil Blvd. And Future Redtail Court Following are 4 different alignment proposals for the layout of Redtail Court at the north end of Redtail PDP. The original layout of this intersection had approximately a 550 angle. It was our direction from the City to propose options that would make this angle closer to 90°. Following are notes that apply to each layout: I. All drawings are at a scale of 1"-40'. 2. The crossing of the existing pond is proposed to be 24' FL -FL with attached walks. 3. Through the elbow, the street will widen to 30' FL -FL, 4. The inside radius of the elbow has been held at 25' on all layouts. 5. Walk is attached on the south side of the street throughout because of existing wetlands. 6. The purpose of each option is to provide a car stopped at the intersection with a clear view north and south down Fossil Blvd. It is not possible to provide the 10' angle of intersection at a distance 100' west of the intersection in any case, the road would be completely in the existing pond. Option 1 notes: • There is a short piece of tangent at the intersection (80•) • The curve from the intersection Wrests standards • There is no bumpout at the elbow Option 2 notes: • Same centerline as option I • A bumpout is provided, but only has 4' additional widening rather than 8' O__pn'on 3 notes: • There is a longer piece of tangent at the intersection (85°) • The curve from the intersection is less than standard (80') • There is no bumpout at the elbow • The elbow is at 90• (street parallels the north property line) Option 4 notes: • Same centerline as Option 3 • A bumpout is provided, but only has 4' additional widening rather than 8' • With this bumpout, the walk on the outside would need to be attached Please let us know as soon as possible which of these options is preferred by City Staff.

Please submit all variance requests in accordance with 1.9.2 of LCUASS. However, the bumpout at the elbow needs to be designed to our standard detail 7-26 which means the road must be a total of 32' wide at the bend. In addition, the inside curb radius at the bumpout is currently shown as 25' and our standards require a radius of 26'. You may choose to design this project to the new standards dated October 1, 2002 if you find it beneficial to do so. However, you can not "mix and match" the standards.

As you will recall, this project is a challenge because of the physical constraints of being bounded by the railroad at the west, the City open space at the south, and ponds at both the north and the east. Assuming that the theoretical possibility of Fossil Boulevard extending south through a pond and natural area to connect with Cameron Drive does not occur, which realistically it won't, then the buildings located at the west are accessed from a single point, namely Cameron Drive. Because this is a dead and greater than 150' long, and a single access more than 660', it will require a modification by the City engineer with the approval of the Poudre Fire Authority. Because all of the buildings are fire sprinklered, and in this fashion, fire safety concerns are met, we respectfully request that with the Poudre Fire Authority's agreement and recommendation that you approve this administrative modification. Also, in regard to the length of cul-de-sacs permitted by the street standards, I noticed that they are permitted to be 1,320' long 9 fire sprinklered (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, Section 7 — 24a). Thank you for your positive consideration of this request and your assistance in helping this ambitious project move forward.

In other words, we are providing an engineering opinion, as per the letter enclosed from Weeks & Associates, indicating that after reviewing the proposed retaining walls in our Redtail site and landscape plans he is confident that the walls will work from an engineering standpoint, after of course the final and detailed engineering is completed for each individual retaining wall. Of course the detailed engineering for each specific retaining wall can be required by the City at or before issuance of a building permit and/or by a provision requiring same in the development agreement. We trust this will be satisfactory to answer any question about the retaining walls at this stage and that we can proceed immediately (after five years now) and expeditiously to the necessary development agreement.

The platted Cameron Park property included in the Redtail Project specifically is: the undeveloped Lots 16 — 25, together with open space Tracts A & B, all in Cameron Park, Second Filing. It should be pointed out — because there has been some confusion — that none of this property has anything to do with Fossil Creek Office Park East PUD, which PUD included Cameron Park, Second Filing, Lots 9 —15 only. 2. Storm Drainage Easement across the City -owned property to the south was obtained some years ago. Please see the details and explanation regarding same enclosed, including the remaining financial obligation of the Redtail Developer with regard to the balance of the easement fee due to the City. Include such language as you think appropriate in the Development Agreement. 3. As you are aware, the project involves two adjoining but virtually autonomous parts: the west part including the ponds, which is designated Phase I, and the townhouse portion which is north of the office park and south of the furniture store, and which is designated Phase ll. Would you please reference in the Development Agreement that the project may commence with the construction of either Phase I or Phase II, with the remaining phase to follow.

We think it is reasonable that the College Avenue improvements be constructed with Phase II of the project (the Mill Brothers property fronting on College) for the following reasons; a. A turn lane already exists presently, notwtthstanding the Clty's Interest in Improving It. b. The condition is as It exists presently is not unsafe. That is, driving south on College there is an adequate and functional turn lane for making the right turn onto Cameron Drive. c. The College Improvements cannot be done without the development work that Is required, and it will occur as part of Phase II. In particular, the structural retaining wall, the sidewalk, the curb and asphalt, and the sewer connection will not occur until Phase II. d. It does not reasonably make any sense, and it Is not economical, to do a portion of the Phase II development work now and complete it later at which time much of the work will be ripped out andfor damaged as a result of excavation equipment, grading, structural retaining wall construction, sewer connoctian, ate, and additional traffic controls that will be required. Accordingly, If you agree that it is both safe and reasonable to do these south College improvements in conjunction with Phase II, would you please discuss this matter with your colleagues?

He felt that since this vacation was related to something that the City did not want under any circumstances, and the landowner, that is us, was agreeable, that there should be no problem in going ahead with K. He recommended talking to Paul Eckman about this to see if he agreed. And if Paul agrees, then Jim thought we could proceed with the vacation immediately rather than waiting for later, which of course would expedite the Redtail Project and get us started sooner.

The stop work order was issued until the structural plans for the culverts and the walls could be reviewed and approved. After much work by all involved we are getting very close to having these plans approved and are comfortable with the current design of the culverts and the headwalls. As was agreed, you are allowed to lay the culvert and construct the headwalls for the northern culvert (on Conejoes Road) while we continue to finalize the structural plans. You are not allowed to work on the parapet walls or retaining walls until the structural plans have been signed by the City and copies distributed to the City Inspector. As discussed there are a few remaining items that need to be done in order for the City to be able to sign off on the structural plans. They are: • The railing locations need to be determined and shown on the structural plans. • A revised grading plan provided showing the changes in grading that are needed for the structural and grading plans to match. • The other minor comments that were made on the plans and provided by Jin at the meeting. We will also need the following information to be submitted. This does not need to be provided prior to the City signing off on the plans, but we do need this provided to the City prior to the installation of the railings. The shop drawings for the different types of railing that will be installed. Two copies of these drawing need to be given to Jin Wang in the Engineering — Capital Projects Group. 281 North CoUege Avenue • P.O.

It's within our standards. However, please be sure that the intersection does not have a sight distance problem with College Avenue traffic either by the south bound traffic on College and the slope of the hill from Fossil Blvd. to Cooelge doesn't create a line of sight problem for the right turn traffic onto College.

Tafte, P.E., Project Engineer JOB REFERENCE: tedtail Development — Fossil Boulevard profile FACSIMILE BEING SENT FROM (970) 491- 9984 NUMBER OF TRANSMITTED PAGES, INCLUDING THE COVER PAGE 4 Dave: Thanks for the e-mail response to my request to attend the CDOT/City meeting on the 18d. I was hoping that we could have gotten together to review the necessary improvements that are being requested of Jon Prouty's development. It is my understanding that you were looking for a TIS and plan submittal for the development. Jon provided me with a study from December 2001 that represented the previous layout but is not substantially different in vehicle movement from the new layout. I discussed the difference between the new layout and the previous layout with Matt Delich and we both agree that an addendum for the new layout may be required but that the existing study would let us conceptually discuss proposed design alternatives to the intersection of College and Fossil Boulevard. My concern is that I do a design and submit only to find out that I headed down an entirely wrong path and wasted your time and mine. There seem to be so many unknowns/issues with the College design I am hesitant to do any design. I would appreciate even getting together with you to discuss the issues that need to be dealt with. Regarding the attachments to this fax, I have included a copy of a preliminary CL profile for Fossil Boulevard and a plan view of the north portion of the site. I was hoping that you or one of your assistants might be able to do a quick review of the profile to make sure we headed down the right track. As can be seen from the profile the issue of excessive cut must be dealt with. I am also trying to maintain a fairly flat approach grade to college to accommodate future widening and make the into section a little more user friendly. The profile is designed around minimum Vs and before going to final drawings will be "tweaked" to be smoother. Any advice or comments would be greakly appreciated. 04/12/2002 14:16 FAX 970 491 9984 JR ENGINEERING IM002 `J I know this request of you is probably unorthodox to a typical review but I am hoping that the little bit of time we spend up front on some of these issues will help us get these plans through the review process. I realize there are many other issues to be dealt with but to me your input is very helpful and beneficial to my progress in putting together a good plan set. If you have any questions or comments please call me at your convenience. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thinks Dave John E. Tufte, P.E.
