or letters on the units to identify them--e.g., "I live in the
building along Lady Moon with the red brick facade."
Another objection raised was the four "in your face" three story
buildings along Rockcreek Drive which would be the view for some
Observatory residences. One thought was to make those two story units
and then have four story building along the back of the complex
(Precision Drive). Another idea would be to pick up, rotate and
"paste" the clubhouse, its associated green space, and some lower
garage units along Rockcreek Drive. These could in turn be more
easily blocked from view by appropriate landscaping and /or fencing as
well as acting as a sound buffer for traffic. This, along with the
already planned "green" detention area would give Rockcreek Drive a
very nice neighborhood friendly look.
I do feel that upscale apartments are the best project for this parcel
and I look forward to a well designed complex that will enhance the
overall area.

In the interest of being "fair and balanced" here's another email from our community
board. Looks like you're already aware though.

FYI --After the Presidio neighborhood meeting, I sent the following e-
mail to the four principals (Applicant/Milestone, Land Owner/Kaplan,
Architect/Kephart, and Fort Collins Planner/Shepard) involved in the
project expressing my take of the meeting. I agree that we should all
become involved as the process goes forward.
Hi,
I attended the neighborhood meeting on the above subject on October
27, 2008. As I expected, a lot of the people who showed up were of
the "not in my neighborhood" mindset. When I moved into Observatory
Village a little over a year ago, I knew that the area was ripe for
development and I considered this a plus., I agree with two
conclusions of the meeting in that apartments will probably be built
and they will be "three story".
However, I also feel that an effort should be made to have the complex
fit in better with the Observatory Village neighborhood. In our
development there are many side -by -side houses that have the same
floor plan, but the same exterior elevation and color are never right
next to each other. As brought up in the meeting, having, say,
different roof lines and/or exterior features would greatly enhance
the ascetics of the complex. That way you might not need big numbers
