18. Question: (Resident) At least 1 building is being proposed to be built in

Answer: (City Stormwater Utility) The City has met with CSURF to

10. Question: (Resident) What impacts will the road (Rolland Moore Drive)
and the buildings have on the Larimer No. 2 Canal?
Answer: (City Stormwater Utility) The development is below (lower
than) the ditch. Seepage from the ditch will be cut off by a
subdrain system being designed for the development.
11. Question: (Resident) Can you share the ditch company's concerns
about this development?
Answer: John Moen, the superintendent for the Larimer No. 2
Irrigating Company, provided in writing the following
comments and concerns:
The Company is concerned about seepage from the
ditch and the impact to The Grove in the case of an
extreme event that causes a breech of the ditch. As
superintendent for the Larimer No. 2 Irrigating
Company, I have experienced situations where drains
cease to operate. This can cause property damage and
is upsetting to the homeowners. Often they will direct
their complaints to the Ditch Company. In my opinion,
there are better solutions to this problem. For
example, the ditch could be lined or relocated. I would
like to further discuss this issue with the city and the
developer.

2. Question: (Resident) What is the status of all of the appeals?
Answer: (Applicant) There are no active appeals. The previous

of the ODP. The appeal on the Board's denial of the PDP

developer.

happening on Parcel C, correct?

flood of 1997.
7. Question: (Resident) This new Amended ODP is being linked to the new
Grove at Fort Collins PDP, correct?

8. Question: (Resident) Has an environmental study already been done
and what impacts will there be to the storm drainage and
