Box 570 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 RE: QUAIL HOLLOW P.U.D., THIRD FILING Dear Mike: I am writing this letter as an outline for the progression of the Third Filing of Quail Hollow construction plans as they proceed through the City review process. This letter will outline deci- sions made during this process. If you have any questions or comments about this outline, please contact me. The original first submittal for this project was on April 5, 1988, The City review process began and continued in a normal fashion until a meeting was arranged with Dan Jensen, Lloyd McLaughlin, Mike Herzig and Brian Cole, on April 21, 1988. At this meeting it was decided that, due to the complexity of the Drake Road - Overland Trail intersection design the City would not pull the project from the planning and zoning board and allow design to continue at a reasonable rate in order to complete a best design possible for all parties concerned. At this meeting it was also mentioned that this design and construction of Over- land Trail and Drake Road would fall under the Cities street oversizing fund program. At the closing of this meeting it was understood that Brian Cole would submit to Mike Herzig a per- manent and temporary design of Drake Road and Overland Trail as well as their intersection. Mike would then take this design and channel it through the other City departments, eventually coming up with a final "Best Design". On April 22, 1988 Brian made this submittal to Mike and the City began its arterial design and review process. During the interim, the City directed RBD to make all other comment changes and to re -submit them when the ar- terials and intersection design was completed. Other Offices: Vail, Colorado 303/476.6340 9 Colorado Springs, Colorado 303/574-3504 On June 14. 1988 the City, thru Jim Faulhaber, gave Brian it's final intersection and arterial street design layout. This in- tersection included a raised island that separated the right turn lane of west bound Drake Road from the other Drake Road lanes. The new layout has been designed and is submitted along with the other final City comment changes and this letter for final signa- ture and acceptance. Sincerely, RBD, Inc. C1 4 Brian Cole, P.E.

Jensen Enterprises 2602 Rasquinel Drive Fort Collins, CO 80526 RE: Construction of Drake Road Improvements Dear Dan, Thanks for your time and help in discussing the improvements to Drake Road and Overland Trail. As you are aware, Wheeler Realty has refused to fulfill their obligation to improve Drake Road along their frontage to the Brown Farm 6th and 7th Filing. Wheeler Realy claimed that they were not responsible for these improvements and the City had to file suit against them. At this point, the City has won a judgement against Wheeler Realty for approximately $112,000 for the improvements to Drake Road. The judgement is being appealed and staff expects another 6 to 12 months until final resolution. In Drake Road there is an elevation difference (up to 9 inches between the new road and the existing asphalt) which would make final construction of the Quail Hollow PUD improvements very difficult without the Brown Farm improvements. The City has analyzed the options and has decided to complete the Brown Farm improvements in conjunction with the Quail Hollow improvements at this time. Specifically, the City will reimburse you for costs accociated with oversizing Drake Road and Overland Trail above the local access portion in accordance with Section 24-121 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins. In addition, the City will reimburse you for all costs associated with the construction of the Drake Road improvements for the Brown Farm subdivision, including engineering and construction management costs. As we discussed, the City will pay the contractor directly, after you submit invoices documenting the completed work. 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6605 Construction will have to work around the CSU football home schedule as this is a major route to the stadium. Engineering staff has met with the Police Department regarding the schedule and the traffic plan for the football games and believes that the construction may be scheduled so as to not significantly affect the traffic flow into the stadium. However, this will take a comittment to and an understanding of the needs of the CSU Football traffic plan by the contractors and engineer for this project. It is very important to have this route open with at least two paved lanes during each home football weekend. I believe this can be readily accomplished. I am looking forward to having these improvements finally completed and want to thank you again for your help in this project. Sincerely, j '�latt J. Baker SID Coordinator City of Ft. Collins
