Re: Planning Objectives - Tract D Cunningham Corner, #02-5030
Dear City Staff and Planning & Zoning Board Members,
The final PUD plan for Tract D of Cunningham Corner is being submitted for
your review. A 7-Eleven convenience store with gas pumps is being proposed
for the .80 acre site consistent with the master plan approved in 1983.
The main entrance off of Horsetooth Road is shared with the retail/office
center proposed for Tract C. A 2,816 SF building, parking spaces and gas
pumps are sited to achieve maximum efficiency and to leave 45% of the site
as open space to buffer adjacent residential land uses.
Architecturally, the store is a new design, featuring blonde brick, more
glass and an attractive sign band which wraps around the structure. Both
evergreen and deciduous foundation plantings soften the building's archi-
tecture and help screen the trash enclosure. Special attention is given to
the interface between 7-Eleven and Chestnut Village Condominiums located to
the east and northeast. Upsized evergreen trees and berming are used as a
buffer between land uses and to screen objectionable lights to the extent
possible.
The new 7-Eleven store promises to be a welcome addition to the neigh-
borhood, both in terms of design and user convenience. The land use policies
addressed by this project are as follows:
14 Urban Development standards shall apply to all development within the
Urban Growth Area.
15 Development in the Urban Growth Area should be consistent with deve-
lopment policies set forth in this plan.
22 Preferential consideration shall be given to Urban Development
Proposals which are continguous to existing development within the
City Limits or consistent with the Phasing Plan for the City's Urban
Growth Area.

Dear Mike:
This letter is to confirm the conversations that we have had regarding the
deceleration lane off of Horsetooth Road for the 7-11 Convenience Store at
Cunningham Corner. On May 2 I shot the lip elevation of the new curb installed
by Loveland Excavation and the elevation of the existing edge of asphalt on
Horsetooth Road to see if the minimal slope of 1.1% (as shown on the plan)
existed between the curb and gutter and the existing edge of asphalt. It was
determined that the new pavement if installed would not have the minimal slope
and would in fact have a reverse slope in some places.
After reviewing the elevation shots submitted by you, it appears that the
curb and gutter installed by Loveland Excavation was installed to the plan
grade.
The alternate red -lined plan that you submitted to the City Planning Department
using concrete in place of asphalt will be acceptable to the City under the
following conditions:
1. That the contractor installing the concrete pavement shall take extreme
care in finishing the concrete so as to not create water ponds in the
finished slab.
2. That the City Inspection Department be notified of the construction of
the concrete pavement.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Rick Richter

Re: 7-11 Convenience Store at Cunningham Corner
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The deceleration lane off of Horsetooth Road has been constructed,
however, there seems to be some confusion as to the responsibility
of the following items:
- Sealing the joint between the existing asphalt and the new
concrete pavement with an approved asphalt -rubber sealant.
- Placing permanent hot mixed asphalt patches where the temporary
patches have been placed in Horsetooth Road.
- Repair any cracked sidewalk and curb and gutter on site.
The City of Fort Collins will require that these items be taken care of
prior to the release of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Sibbald:
Pursuant to our phone conversations on April 17 and April 23,
1990 regarding access across Tract "B" of the 7-Eleven
Convenience Store, A Planned Unit Development at Cunningham
Corner, I have reviewed the subdivision plat, the final site
plan, the development agreement, the reciprocal easement
agreement, and the improvement survey plat.
None of these documents specifically reserve Tract "B" as private
access, nor do they refer to the tract as a public road. I also
could not find any specific reference to such a reservation in
our correspondence files on this project.
I do feel, though, that your intent to reserve the areas
dedicated as Access Easements can be substantiated by the
following thoughts:
1) Even though the plat dedicates the easements "to the City of
Fort Collins for the public use," common sense dictates that
the access and parking easement covering a majority of Tract
"A" (the 7-Eleven site) and Tract "B" is intended for access
and parking of the clientele of Tract "A," and whomever the
owners of Tracts "A" and "B" wish to allow to enter on the
easements, (i.e. not for use by the general public at
large).
2) The existence of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement between
Southland Corp, and Metcalf, Ltd. recorded at reception no.
86010503, dated December 9, 1985, which shows the intent of
the owners to mutually use and maintain the access drive off
Horsetooth Road.
3) If the access was for public use, it would have been
dedicated as public right-of-way and platted as a street,
instead of taxes being paid on the property. Also, the
tract lines would not have been platted along the center of
the access road,

4) You, as the owner of the land, were the one platting the
property and, therefore, are the only one who can clarify
any confusion on your intent in dedicating the access
easement.
I hope this letter can help you in being able to respond to the
City's comments regarding the access easement.
Respectfully,
