Hager (chager@jvajva.com); tomd@frii.com; 'Mark Teplitsky' (mteplitsky@tollbrothersinc.com) Cc: Robert Mosbey Subject: Kechter Farm follow up As a follow up to Thursdays meeting. The irrigation pipe. The City will grant a variance to the requirement for the irrigations lines to be sleeved across the right-of-way with the following conditions. Where the pipe is or will be within the right-of-way the pipe shall meet our standards for concrete pipe (ASTM C 361), the joints shall include rubber gasket joints, External Sealing bands (restraining collars), and shall be concrete encased, and we shall be notified when the portions are being installed across the right-of-way so we can inspect the irrigation pipe installation in these 4 locations. The Drainage easement needed for the outfall and spreader. I did speak with Paul this afternoon and since the plat just identifies that there is to be a reservation for a drainage easement and it is not dedicated that a drainage easement still needs to be dedicated. Sheri Sheri Langenberger Development Review Manager - Engineering City of Fort Collins (970) 222.-6573 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Post Office Box 1190 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-1190 (970) 498-5700 FAX (970) 498-7986 MEMORANDUM TO: Clint Jones, Development Services Engineer FROM: Martina Wilkinson, Traffic Engineer DATE: January 8, 2014 SUBJECT: Final Kechter Farm TIS review Traffic staff has reviewed the final TIS for filing 1 of the Kechter Farm development. We've reviewed the City's comments for the final submittal.. The city's comments stand on their own merits and should be responded and/or noted as all other development comments. In addition to that, County and City traffic staff have met to discuss traffic comments in detail in an effort to consolidate and focus comments to specific required action items needed in a TIS addendum. The TIS itself does not need to be completely re -done, but rather the items noted below can be addressed in an addendum to the final TIS dated November 2013. Roundabout design. The internal development roundabout at Trilby and Zephyr needs to be analyzed and designed with appropriate traffic and roadway design standards. The LCUASS has detailed information in it regarding roundabout design, and appropriate local review process including specific roundabout meetings. Traffic analysis for the design (using RODEL or ARCADY) will need to be submitted together with geometric details. Both horizontal and vertical design needs to be roundabout specific. City and County staff is willing to meet with developer's engineers to discuss the design in detail. 2. The TIS discusses the poor operations at Timberline / Zephyr and simply notes that this is normal at unsignalized intersections with arterials. However, the delays shown in the TIS are well beyond a LOS F and are in the hundreds of seconds — a total delay time that motorists are not likely to endure. Since there is a wide TWLTL in that area, please provide a revised analysis that reflects a two -stage left turn. This will provide a clearer picture of actual traffic operations at this location. 3. Please discuss the development's impacts to the Westchase and Fossil Creek roadways. This includes the intersections at both Trilby and Timberline. This is a recurring comment from various submittals regarding this development and needs to be included in the addendum. 4. Please provide specific information and traffic analysis on the intersection of Rock Park and Ziegler. Although site traffic numbers are shown in an exhibit, no totals or analysis is included that would address the function of the intersection. With substantial neighbor concerns about this intersection, an analysis is helpful. We hope this consolidation of items needed in a TIS addendum is helpful in clearly identifying next steps for the developer's traffic engineer. STEPHANIE G. FELLER 3162 Sagewater Court, Ft. Collins, CO 80528 baby.scar a(Uive.com 970-226-4572 December 18 2013 Mr. Robert Helmick 200 West Oak Street, Suite 3100 P.O.Box 1190 Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 RE: Kechter Farm Subdivision Dear Mr. Helmick: Approximately 4 weeks ago, I became aware of an Alta Land Title Survey for the Kechter property. The survey illustrates the 30' of ROW on the east side of Ziegler Road or the section line. Until this time, the 2 existing ROWs shown on future improvements to Ziegler Road were mistakes that kept appearing on plans. In fact, the first time I observed the 2 existing ROWs marked on an aerial; Tom Daugherty told me to ignore the upper line, it was wrong. Note 6, on the Alta survey, states the ROW on the east side of the section line is included in platted lots. The original 1882 ROW dedication was not vacated prior to the platting of Fossil Lake 1" filing per Charlie Johnson, Larimer County Engineering and Larimer County Planning Dept. According to our plat, the ROW on the east side of the section line shrinks to 28.50' just north of Rookery Road. ROW shrinks again to 23' south of Rookery Road to Rock Park Drive. Lots 11 and 12 Block 11 were permitted and built in Larimer Co. with 23' of ROW and a 10' HOA strip of land between the ROW and the lot property line. The side setback for these lots is 5' with the 10' of HOA property. Without the 101, Ft. Collins requires a 15' side setback and considers the lots corner lots. If the houses no longer meet code, they would be classified nonconforming. I have learned permits for improvements are next to impossible to obtain for nonconforming use properties. For instance, if the property floods or there is a fire, permits may not be issued for repairs. Yesterday I spoke with Traci Stombo in Larimer Co. Engineering regarding how less than 30' of ROW was approved on our plat. In 1999, 60' of ROW was the minimum ROW dedication in Larimer Co., which is 30' on each side of the section line. Traci suggested it was possible 23' was used because of the road classification. In other words, the road was not expected to carry a large volume of traffic. According to Sheri Langenberger, City Engineer, Ziegler Road south of 1 Page 2 Robert Helmick Trilby, does not have any particular classification. Sheri calls it half of a road. With the proposed improvements, it will be classified as a connector local. This reclassification is not identified on the October 10, 2013 city of Ft. Collins Master Street Plan. Rob Helmick stated, during a meeting on December 3, the original ROW dedication of 1882 for Ziegler Road is valid until vacated. The fact the ROW was never vacated and ROW was dedicated within the original dedication was an oversight by Larimer County. Personally, I would call it a mistake of huge proportions. Public property was sold for private use by a developer. According to the Larimer County. Assessor's office, real estate taxes are currently paid by the homeowners for the ROW in Lots 1-11 Block 10 and Lot 1 Block 11. Larimer County created this debacle and Larimer County should step up to the plate and work with the city to resolve the ROW oversight. Larimer County should be monetarily responsible for all costs not the homeowners. In August, a number of Fossil Lake homeowners met with Rob Helmick regarding issues with the Kechter Farm subdivision. Rob instructed us to put our concerns in writing. Thirty-seven homeowners signed letters expressing objections and concerns regarding Zephyr Road's connection to Rock Park Drive. These letters were faxed to Rob Helmick, Lindsay EX and Larimer County Commissioners. During the December 3 meeting, Rob Helmick stated the GDP was approved and nothing could be changed. So why did he tell us to state our concerns in writing? In fact, Rob stated he is going to recommend approval of the Kechter Farm subdivision. It is my understanding Ft. Collins likes connectibility of the street system. For some reason, the Kechter Farm traffic studies ignore vehicles traveling from Zephyr Road across Ziegler Road to Rock Park Drive. No through traffic is considered. Per Fossil Lake plat, Rock Park Drive and Rookery Road are each designed for under 300 vehicles per day. They both have 46' of ROW and are classified as Residential Rural streets. One of the most important specifications for a street with this classification is a minimum of 1-acre lots. Rock Park Drive has no lots fronting the street that are even close to an acre. Rookery Road has a total of 40 lots on the 46' ROW street, of which only 8 are an acre or larger. The traffic count dated May 2012 from the city of Ft. Collins counted 547 vehicles per day traveling to and from Rock Park Drive. It seems the Rock Park Drive and Ziegler Road intersection has close to twice the amount of traffic per its design. Is this another oversight by Larimer County? The Ft. Collins Master Street Plan does not identify Zephyr Road intersecting with Ziegler Road. It is my Page 3 Robert Helmick opinion, along with 36 other homeowners in Fossil Lake, adding addition traffic to a narrow street with limited sidewalks is acting without forethought. Motorists traveling east will cut through Fossil Lake instead of travelling north on Ziegler Road and east on Kechter Road. It is a shorter distance and saves time. With the number of children living in the neighborhood and all of the bus stops, additional traffic will only create unsafe conditions for them. We feel the Zephyr Road connection to Rock Park Drive will create unnecessary traffic within Fossil Lake and when that occurs who will care? Zephyr Road will exist and Kechter Farm subdivision will be annexed. Is Larimer County once again handing a bad situation to the city? In summary, we ask Larimer County to withhold additional approvals until the ROW and Zephyr Road issues are resolved. The Fossil Lake plat was approved by Larimer County with serious errors. We strongly believe Larimer County should work with the city of Ft. Collins to vacate the 1882 dedicated ROW. Larimer County should fund the vacation process. The homeowners should not be required to pay for any of the costs, including the the vacated real estate. If the city will not vacate the ROW north of Rock Park Drive, the shortage of 7 plus feet can be added to the west side of the east curb on Ziegler Road. Should the Fossil Lake plat require replatting, Larimer County will also fund the expense. Homeowners of Lots 1 and 12 Block 11 request a 5' solid board fence installed to replace current fencing. The fence will provider a buffer for the increased traffic created by the the addition of Zephyr Road to Ziegler Road, road widening and reclassification of the street. Of course, if Zephyr Road does not intersect on Ziegler Road south of Rookery Road, the fence is a mute subject.

We currently are going to be building a new home on one of the last lots left in Fossil Lake Ranch. Our lot is at the end of Rock Park Drive, east of Ziegler Road. I have been reviewing the information sent to me by mail, as well as researching the project online at the Larimer County website/planning/current applications. I have some concerns and have commented on those below. I may or may not be able to attend the Public Hearing tonight, so I wanted to send you this email for your use at the hearing. If you can, I would appreciate if someone could air my concerns as a neighbor to this project by reading, posting or voicing at the public hearing tonight. 1. Given the proximity of this project to Kinard Middle School, I think there should be a strict dedicated construction truck access road to develop this project. There are many children living in the Fossil Lake Ranch neighborhood east of Ziegler that attend Kinard Middle School. The only access to the school daily is by walking or bicycling to the school via Ziegler Road. I think if there were to be large trucks (cement, lumber, stone or other large construction material vehicles) constantly entering and exiting the project at Ziegler Road, the children's safety will be jeopardized every day. A dedicated construction vehicle entrance away from Ziegler Road and Kinard would be safer for everybody coming and going to Kinard Middle School. This will help to prevent,and minimize potential accidents to pedestrians. 2. 1 am curious to know what will potentially be located on the planned commercial lot on the corner of Ziegler Road and Trilby Road just south of Kinard Midddle School. This commercial development of the proposed 6,000- 12,000 square foot building seems like an awful place to have a commercial building located. Will this building be for offices or is this building going to be occupied by retail stores? Why is planning even considering this commercial development in the middle of the surrounding and very connected residential neighborhoods? I for one object to this commercial development as part of this project. 3. We think that certain proposed lot sizes and the zero lot line housing of this project should be re -considered. The area is known for residential neighborhoods with nice medium to large lots. This project is proposing many typical lots beginning with 156 lots at 6,900 square feet. These are really small lots for this neighborhood. I think that the number of proposed houses to be constructed should be reduced overall and the lot sizes increased. 4. 1 think that this project lacks necessary green space, parks and buffered areas.The proposed housing area north of Zephyr Road is too dense with houses and lacks any recreational green space or parks. These are family neighborhoods and all future housing projects should include generous areas surrounding all of the homes and https:llmil.google.corrVniaiI/u/0/?ui=2& k--5ad25453e9&view=pt&search=inbo)dth=143072a38cabe6ce 1/2 12/18/13 co.larimer.coms Mail -WEB: Re: Kechter Farm Planned Land Division PLD Preliminary Plat integrated for children and adults to access to recreate, walk dogs, bicycle, etc. I think this project lacks a proper ratio of green space to housing lots.

I am writing to request that more trees be added to the border between the Westchase and Kechter developments, to be a continuation of the natural area north of Westchase. The Westchase subdivision has a small natural area to the North and a walking trail running along northern and eastern borders of the subdivision. This trail has beautiful views and wildlife and is enjoyed by all Westchase residents. It was a significant factor in our own purchase of a home here. Building a subdivision where there is now farmland will impact not just our views in Westchase subdivision (Fossil Lake and farmland), but also our natural area. A slightly larger buffer and additional trees between the two subdivisions would add beauty and increase property values in BOTH subdivisions. It is a win -win proposal. What I see on the plat shows very few trees between the subdivisions. Adding more trees on the Kechter Farm side would provide a visual and natural buffer Although the developer may have to plant more trees and/or carve out a bit more space at the back of the Kechter Farm subdivision, the increased property values would recoup the expense. Water would also be conserved, as natural areas do not require watering. The Kechter HOA would save money because they would not have to mow. Please keep in mind that not everyone who has an interest in this issue has time to write a letter about this. I made the time to write this letter, but there are many, many more who use the trail or have homes that back to the trail. The residents of Kechter Farm Would also benefit. Fort Collins is a beautiful city, and I appreciate the work you put into keeping it that way!

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Toll Brothers, Inc. is proposing the development of the Kechter Farm property with 414 homes, 1 commercial lot, 1 recreation center, open space and trail systems. The subject property is approximately 166.79 acres of farmland located on a portion of the SE Quarter of Section 8, Township 6 North, Range 68 West of the 6`s P.M., Larimer County, Colorado. More specifically, the property is bounded on the north by Kinard Jr. High School, to the east by Ziegler Road, to the west by existing residential development, and to the south by Fossil Creek Reservoir. A vicinity map is included at the end of this letter. The buildings will consist of single family homes and duplexes. A copy of the proposed utility plan is included at the end of this letter. SANITARY SEWER SERVICE As shown on the Overall Utility Plan, there is an existing 30" public sanitary service interceptor located across the southern portion of the Kechter Farm property which exits the property along the southwestern boundary line. This existing sanitary sewer main is controlled by South Fort Collins Sanitation District. The collection system will consist of a network of 8" to 12" sewer mains, which will connect to the existing 30" interceptor. Branch lines located under the proposed streets will collect sewage from 4" PVC laterals that will serve the individual buildings. Sewage from the proposed commercial lot and recreation center will discharge into the branch mains by 6" PVC service laterals. All proposed sewage will be conveyed by gravity flow to the existing 30" sewer interceptor. BOULDER I FORT COLLINS I WINTER PARK Kechter Farm Utility Summary 9/16/13 2 of 2 Due to the high groundwater table, a proposed underdrain/dewatering system will run parallel and below the sanitary sewer mains. WATER SERVICE As shown on the attached Utility Plan, there is an existing 24" water main within East Trilby Road to the south of Kinard Jr. High School, and an existing 24" water main within East Trilby Road located in the West Chase Development. These water lines are owned and operated by Fort Collins -Loveland Water District (FCLWD). The Plan proposes to extend a 24" PVC main through the site within the proposed section of East Trilby Road to serve the project. There is also an existing 8" water main within Zephyr Road located in the West Chase Development, and an existing 8" water main at the intersection of Ziegler Road and Rock Park Road. These water mains are also FCLWD lines. The Plan proposes to tie into these existing 8" mains with an 8" PVC main which will be located within the proposed section of Zephyr Road. An 8" PVC connection will also be made to the proposed 8" water main located within the proposed Mail Creek Development. All other proposed water mains for the subject development will be 8" PVC lines. CONCLUSIONS Preliminary calculations, a vicinity map, and other reference materials used are attached at the end of this letter. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this submission.

Rundle' Cc: Charlie R. Hager, Sheri Langenberger Subject: RE: Kechter Farm PLD - Traffic Operation Comment 26 - City engineering staff contact information Marc, Thanks for the additional input on the crossing dimensions. Traffic Operation's see's it this way, and please understand we appreciate the development's will to remove that bulb - out for better turning characteristics, on your own choice. Traffic does not see the bulb -out or the current roadway conditions at that location an impact or fault of this development. Therefore we do not believe we should require this development to reconstruct anything there. If the development feels the bulb -out and resulting characteristics of that area creates a negative for its future residents and/or development project, Traffic Operations does not have issues with the bulb -out being modified. If the development chooses to modify the bulb -out, we would want the changes to not cause a ped crossing width greater than 18' (12' travel lane and Vane). From our point of view, you can choose to leave it as is, or partially reconstruct the bulb -out to provide better turning radius but keeping the crosswalk crossing a maximum of 18'. The old Trilby to new Trilby transition length should be 100', so I need to ask you to revise the 60' transition to be 100'. This comes from the MUTCD, (as referenced by the AASHTO green book) which provides the lane taper design length equation of L = (ws"2)/60; (I'm using 5' for W; 35 mph for S). The equation is also the LCUASS equation for the Approach Taper in Fig 8-3 and Fig 8-11. Sheri, any comments/concerns?

The cross section for North of Rookery Road the street section matched what we had discussed before but I thought the sidewalk on the west side was also going to serve as the Regional Trail connection. Per the last drawing I had of Kechter Farms the Regional Trail was going to run along the West side of Kechter Road to Rookery Road and then cross. If that is still the correct planned alignment than additional row along the West side from Trilby to the crossing at Rookery Road is needed and that cross section should be adjusted to show this wider sidewalk that will serve as the trail. The plan for the trail may certainly have changed since the last time I saw an overall plan — I just want to make sure it is accounted for where ever it is to go. Joe wanted it noted that what has been submitted are not stripping plans. Hope this is helpful and thanks for forwarding this on for our review. If you can let me know where it has been agreed that the regional trail will go 1 would appreciate it.

Claeys <'cl laeys(a-)jvajva.com> Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 6:15 PM Subject: Kechter - Zeigler Alignment To: Clinton Jones <cdiones@larimer.org> Clint, I know that we coordinated review of this layout a few months ago. The Kechter's are in process of completing the MLD for the Kechter outparcel and would like to include any right-of-way dedications for Zeigler included. Attached is the same exhibit that we had been passing around for review. 'I adjusted one note in the street cross sections to delineate "existing". The one question I have is in regards to the lane redirect as Zeigler goes south, just past the intersection of Rookery Road. The road is making a 5' transition to the west to accommodate a 6' bike lane on the east side of Zeigler. Referencing LCUASS, redirect tapers are to reference Figures 8-2 and 8-3, which are the design requirements for left turn lanes. Figure 8-3 directs the design of a "Redirect Taper" with the taper length equal to ws^2/60. For a redirect width of 5', the minimum taper length is 75'. Since the Kechter's are wanting to have this platted with the MLD, I would like to be sure that I am going in the correct direction and not having us replat Zeigler in the future because my assumptions were incorrect. Thanks for your help and please feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss further. Thanks! JASON T.

This will keep the west side N/S ped crossing a little shorter. Scaling from aerial maps and the submitted plans that the current narrowest width is about 17'-18' between the bulb -out and the median. That basically meets standards for a travel lane and bike lane. Please contact us if the dimensions are inaccurate. As labeled on the "Existing Trilby Road Bulb-out.pdf", the narrowest width is 15'-9" based on the survey information we have. Does the City still wish to remove the bulb -out given this smaller dimension? If so, would a 11' wide travel lane and an approximately 5' wide bike lane be acceptable? Please advise.

Rundle Cc: Charlie R. Hager; Sheri Langenberger Subject: RE: Kechter Farm PLD - Traffic Operation Comment 26 - City engineering staff contact information Marc, The bike lanes and travel lanes need to connect smoothly in the transition, as well as water flowing between the street sections. Typically a traditional lane/street taper is utilized to accomplish street width transitions. The type shown on the drawings typically does not accomplish those goals as well as a traditional lane taper plus leaves an area that doesn't typically self -clean. Smooth tapers provide better commuter guidance and do not pose as much safety risk (abrupt curb change). Chapter 7 of LCUASS has information about transitions for roadway shifts or lane drops and joining existing improvements (7.4.6 and 9), but they aren't specific to width changes. They refer to figures for lane transitions though. Please confer with Sheri Langenberger on what the engineering design side expects as she knows the City engineering standards better than I. From a traffic standpoint I prefer and believe this width transition is not different than a lane drop such as was on Harmony between Timberline and the RR tracks, where Harmony went from a 6 lane section to the 4-lane section.

Based on these conversations, Mark and I have agreed that if the current configuration (as presented last Friday) remains in place and that a deed restriction is committed to for the peninsula, then this project will have City support at the July hearing of the Planning Commission. All parties agreed we still need to work out the issues regarding ultimate ownership (with the preferred ownership being Natural Areas) and the funding and timing of restoration. However, because a donation of land needs to be heard by the Land Conservation Stewardship Board and ultimately approved by Council, we cannot agree Natural Areas will ultimately accept the donation. At the same time, I think we can all agree conceptually that the peninsula (and southern 110 acres) is best managed in the long run by the public and that the City, County and the applicants will work toward this goal. If I have missed anything, please feel free to jump in and clarify. Otherwise, have a wonderful 4th of July and I'll talk to you all when I'm back in the office next week.

When is a good time for you to meet? In the meantime, I will confirm the overall length of the road with our engineer. Additionally, please note that we are proposing to extended the fire hydrant to a distance that is within 300' feet of all structures. I am also not sure how the structures would be sprinkled while under construction. By the time the units are complete, fire access will not be an issue. Our plan on how to maintain the fire access is unsophisticated but the sequencing can best be explained in person. Essentially we will build the permanent infrastructure up to the fire road and remove the fire road when the adjacent infrastructure is complete. Please let me know when you are able to meet.

After our discussion, I had the opportunity to meet with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed temporary fire lane at Kechter Farm which would enable construction of the clubhouse and three model homes prior to or in conjunction with installation of the utilities and road infrastructure. The general plan (width, road base, turnarounds, turning radii, etc.) for the fire lane is fine, however as I presumed, he is concerned about the overall length of the dead end road; which as I understand it, is 1200 feet or more in length. He is asking that the three model homes as well as the clubhouse be sprinklered in order to account for the access problem. He is also asking me to have a conversation with you to better understand how the temporary fire lane will be preserved during construction of Eagle Roost Drive and Zephyr Road, or in other words, how fire access can be maintained, uninterrupted while permanent roads are being built. Please contact me at your convenience. I'm also happy to meet with you in person should that be preferable.

As I've been unable to reach you by phone, I hope this email will provide the information you need to proceed. I've reviewed your attachment, titled "Exhibit A — Temporary Access," which connects Trilby Road to the Kechter Farms Development so as to allow construction of the clubhouse and model homes on either side of this temporary fire lane at its southern extent. Overall the plan looks very good. My only question for you relates to the sharp, less-than-90 degree turn shown near the final intersection of Zephyr Rd. and Eagle Roost Dr. As long as this turn meets our turning requirements (25' inside radius, 50' outside radius) we should be fine. Please contact me should you need additional assistance.

After our last meeting I did have a chance to look into the couple of items that we discussed. For the irrigation pipe that is proposed to cross the row in several places. The standard as we have been discussing is that the pipe needs to be sleeved. We can look at alternatives but the irrigation pipe type and material must be some type of water tight pipe (gasketed pipe) and it will depend on how large the pipe is and the design and pipe type. So I need additional information on the design of this system. As for the radii for the bump out. 15 foot radii where used in Rigden Farm. This is the radii that should be used for the inner radii a 10 foot radii can be used for the outer radii. For Chicory Court — based on the design being that the inlets are sized for the flows and this area is not intended to be a detention pond area cut off walls do not need to be provided behind the street curb. We would like to see some sort of grouted rip rap or other conveyance structure from the curb openings to help direct the flows away from the street and to the inlet. This will also prevent undermining of the curb where the water leaves it. Sheri Sheri Langenberger Development Review Manager - Engineering City of Fort Collins (970)221-6573 From: Jason T.
