Mr. Roy,
Thank you for a quick response. I am also sorry you can't be more helpful, when Mr. Olt directed me to
the City Attorney and City Clerk I took it this was procedural. I am perplexed that there is a "reasonable
possibility" that my interests may conflict with that of the City, I am all about and for the City of Fort Collins.
I recall hearing about the appeal costing $100 at the neighborhood meeting but not a time limit and that is
not addressed in the PDP, Section 5 either. I am not asking for legal advice from you, simply procedures
to follow for the situation. Also, the link you provided in your first email indicates the file has been moved
or removed.
Respectfully, Greg Greaves
