I recently attended a meeting that detailed their plans to expand their building and decrease the buffer from 80 feet to 40 feet between their development and the neighborhood. I am writing to say that I think their plans would enhance the neighborhood and the planned screen would greatly improve 3rd St. They have been a very nice neighbor to have and I think that their request for a variance should be accepted. I do not anticipate any detrimental impact on the neighborhood from their purposed remodel or reduced buffer zone. The remodel may actually help decrease the number of people parking around in the neighborhood (although this has not been much of an issue in my opinion). Concerning the request for a new driveway on the West side, I think that it would actually be more safe than the present situation, as cars could exit more quickly off of Lincoln than is often presently possible, due to decreased congestion in the new parking lot on the West side of O'dell's building. O'dell has great beer, a nice business and are wanting to build an attractive building. I think whatever the city can do to help them with their plans would be a good investment in the community, enhance the Buckingham neighborhood and help reduce some of the congestion on Lincoln St. Thank you, Theadora B'ey 125 3rd St Fort Collins, Co 80524 970-372-1448
