You indicated that this finish grading will be accomplished when the area dries up enough to allow equipment to be used. The general cross section requirements for the Santana Apartments appear to be satisfactory. DMP:cs Sincerely, (%1 Donald M.

Secretary -Treasurer j of MEMORANDUM TO: Robert L. Brunton, City Manager FROM: Roy Bingman, Director of Community Development DATE: March 6, 1973 SUBJECT: Spring Creek Village, Second Filing, Unit Development Plan The Spring Creek Village Second Filing Unit Development Plan has been approved by the City Council during the month of February. At the time of approval, the Council stipulated that changes be made in the plan to improve the traffic and child safety considerations near the Riffenburg School. The developer's engineer has discussed these with the City staff. The changes on the plan include the following: 1. Having one-way drives through the parking areas (this should make the entrances to the parking area less hazardous without two-way traffic) 2. Driveways approach the street at 90° angle, rather than skewed. This will improve visibility. The home owners group suggested that the curbs be constructed with a square corner to discourage turns. We felt, however, that this was actually a more hazardous design than the standard radius in that it would force cars farther out into the street for turns. If turns are to be prohibited, it should be signed to indicate this. 3. Two curb cuts on Stuart Street were combined into one, which is farther away from the school. In addition, the Traffic Engineer will do the following: 1. Install a stop sign and crosswalk at the intersection of Welch and Stuart Streets. 2. Prohibit parking on Stuart Street 100 feet west from Welch. 3. Prohibit daytime parking on Welch (both sides) adjacent to the school. The home owners group also recommended wider sidewalks on the east side of Welch Street. The City recently installed four -foot sidewalks from the school property north to Prospect Street. These are felt to S-E 0 SPRING CREEK VILLAGE SECOND FILING PUD PAGE TWO March 6, 1973 be adequate. Along the school, however, there is a narrow sidewalk. I do not know if the City is in a position to require the Spring Creek Village developer to widen this sidewalk or not. Perhaps we should look into this. Roy B'ngman Director of Community Development RB/bn CT Im March 14, 1973 TO: Spring Creek Village, 2nd Filing File FROM: Joe A. Rice, Traffic Engineer In confirmation of a meeting with Dick Rutherford on February 28, 1973, I will take the items listed in his letter of February 26, 1973, regarding Spring Creek Village, 2nd Filing. On the items pertaining to the internal flow, Items 1-4 are fine. Items 5 & 6 we suggested that these two driveways be consolidated into one driveway, that would be located at No. 2. This would keep the driveways farther from the corner and eliminate No. 3. Of the requests that were directed to the City, the following answers are in numerical order: 1. In conferring with Mr. Bingman, Director of Community Development, I find that there is insufficient room to install a pedestrian underpass as requested. 2. The 5 foot walkway through Edora Park was rejected, on the basis of adequate sidewalks along Welch Street. 3. The speed limit will be governed by the School Speed Reduction Signs, as the need arises. 4. The No Parking request will also be governed by the needs of the school, and the surrounding area. 5. On pre -investigation I feel that the crosswalk for the school should be placed at the corner of Welch and Stuart, with Welch Street being a "stop" street, making Stuart the through street. 6. The only time that a radius on a driveway is omitted, is in the case of access onto a one-way street system. This covers the items we discussed at our meeting.

Steel Department of H.U.D. 13429 Federal Office Building Denver, Colorado Dear Mr. Steel: Regarding the Spring Creek Village Subdivision, 2nd Filing, within the City of Fort Collins, the City has passed an additional one cent sales tax for a seven year capital improvement program. Included in the capital program are funds'designated for storm sewer improvements, including retention facilities on Spring Creek. The amount of the funds included for storm drainage improvements in the program is $2,000,000. The first priority will be given to the construction of the retention facilities, out of the storm drainage funds. A reasonable time -table for the construction of the retention facilities would be that construction would be complete by 1977. If you have further questions concerning the Spring Creek drainage improvements, please call. Sincerely yours, (3�1. 52 Robert L.
