College Ave. PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: North College Market Place Dear Mr. Olt: This letter is to communicate my concerns regarding the proposed Market Place development and my request for documentation. Please communicate my concerns for your records. I oppose the request for drive-in restaurants and gas stations at the proposed Market Place development on North College Avenue in Fort Collins, CO. Further, I oppose the size and amount of grocery and retail space proposed. The corner of Willox Lane and College already has a gas station and I do not see the need for another gas station in the community. Further, I see a mega grocery store of 123,000 square feet as over building and out of character for this area. Additionally, I am quite concerned with the proposed round about on Willox Lane for it appears to hinder access in and out of Country Club Comers, the Albertsons center. I am concerned with this development encroaching on valuable and irreplaceable wetlands. I imagine the city of Fort Collins would be very concerned with preserving the environment and it's natural resources. It is my hope that the city is quite conservative with an approach to development when it relates to conservation imposing on wetlands. I am requesting that your office send me copies of all reports, consultations and opinions currently on file and those created in the future regarding the wetlands on this site. My mailing address is above. And I am happy to pick up these requested reports at you office. Please advise in this regard. Respectfully, ; Barry Lewis
