RE: Front Range Overall Development Plan
These are additional comments from the conceptual review, which met on Monday,
August 21, 2000. After conceptual review Karen Manci of the City of Fort Collins
Natural Resources Department brought to my attention that this site has recorded raptor
activity since 1994. Attached are the records of sightings for this site. Due to this
information the City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Department will require a raptor
survey of the site. The survey will need to determine what activities are currently taking
place, i.e., day use and night roosting. This survey will help determine what uses are
appropriate for the site. Also, the survey will help determine the level of mitigation, if
mitigation is necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to call me at (970) 221-6641.
