visual break between the two subdivisions. We are not looking for a
wall - or even a wall of trees. But if there were some trees planted in
the public open space on the southwest side of this subdivision, it
could break things up a bit. We have heard that Russian Olives or
perhaps Cottonwood (probably now the newer Cottonless Cottonwood trees)
might be native to the area. We thought it might be possible to have
something like this planted in this area.
Of course by now, Craig might be wondering why he is included on this
message. We think that Dana makes decisions about what can be planted
in the open space areas. But we also thought that this might appeal to
Craig. As we understand, the bike trail will be running right behind
these homes. I know that in the past Craig has been willing and
interested in adding trees along the bike trail.
What do you guys think? Are our proposals reasonable requests of the
City? Are there any issues that we need to be aware of? Do you have
any suggestions about how we could best address this issue? Is the best
avenue to simply raise the issues at the at the public hearing next
Wednesday? If we do raise the issue at the public hearing, would we
have your support? Will one or both of you be attending this hearing?
Thank you guys for your responses and thoughts.

Dear Dana and Craig,
We are back! Your pesty citizen -neighbors back in the corner of
northeast corner Fossil Lake Ranch. I am writing on behalf of about 20
neighbors in the northeast corner of Fossil Lake Ranch.
First, we want to thank both of you for your past help in making the
City of Fort Collins a great neighbor. We appreciate your interest in
maintaining and improving City of Fort Collins land so that residents
are happy, too.
As you probably know, the McClellands Creek subdivision third filing
goes up for public review next week Wednesday. This proposed
subdivision has been replatted by Everitt Companies.
As you might recall, this subdivision will be just across the
McClellands Creek open space area from Fossil Lake Ranch. Last night
the Everitt Companies' Stan Everitt made a presentation to about a dozen
Fossil Lake Ranch residents who wanted information about the new
subdivision. It will have a big impact on our views and we have some
thoughts about how the subdivision and City might be better neighbors.
The main concern from the neighbors was a desire to have some sort of
