The canal of The Lake Canal Company passed along the entire length of the north property line of this property. Access in this area is very critical. The Board of Directors met on at least two occasions with Mr. Bello to discuss the relationship of this proposal to the canal. The need for the canal right-of-way to be fifty (50') feet from the center of the canal was specifically discussed. The plans do not reflect the details that were discussed. Enclosed is a copy of a letter that was written by request of Mr. Bello at the meeting of the Board of Directors of The Lake Canal Company held July 16,2009 summarizing the discussions of that meeting. It is the position of The Lake Canal Company that the following items should be completed or noted before proceeding with this proposal: 1. A signature block should be placed on the plat, including the final plat, stating that 'The has reviewed these sheets and cooperated with the Owner to develop this plan. The has not verified the accuracy of the engineering, design or other professional work. The Owner and the professionals it employed are solely responsible for the end result.

"To the maximum extent feasible, the height, setback, and/or width of new structures shall be similar to those of existing historic structures on any block face on which the new structure is located .... New structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures...." As such, the design of any new structures on the west side of the development should be compatible with the adjacent historic Inverness Farm property at 232 E. Vine, which may be individually eligible for listing as a Fort Collins Landmark. This can be accomplished with the proposed modern design for a building on the west side of the property if the height is kept to a minimum and attention is paid to the massing and materials. At our meeting on August 12, 2009, we suggested that a third floor could be set back from the lower two floors, and a break in the box -like construction could be taken at the front west comer and along the west wall at some point to prevent the appearance of the new structure looming over 232 E. Vine, and to make the massing more compatible with the historic property. We will work with the owner and his representatives to see how this can feasibly be accomplished.
