Submittal documents that would have to be modified for this change at final are of course the Plat, and the
Site Plan open space calculations. Also a drainage swale behind these lots will need to be shifted an
additional 5 to 10 feet to the west on the Grading Plan. I met with Wes Lamarque and Jay Barber on the
site and they stated they are willing to provide written authorization in favor of this modification to the PDP
stating it will have no negative effect on stormwater drainage.
Please consider this request and let me know if transferring the property as specified in this request is or
is not acceptable to you.

John, I don't have a problem as long as the final plan you submit shows the changes as you have
indicated it will. I've sent this on to Steve Olt and Wes Lamarque since it doesn't appear that you included
them in this 2nd emailing attempt.

Regarding: Transfer of open space from un-platted Bella Vira development plan to neighboring property
owners in The Ponds
On August 9, 2006 OFP Development Company quit claimed 3301 square feet of un-platted property
within the approved Bella Vira Preliminary Development Plan to a neighboring property owner. The land
transferred was designated as open space in the PDP. Prior to the transfer the neighboring property
owner who purchased the property and I had extensive discussions with the City of Fort Collins
Stormwater, Current Planning, Building & Zoning and Natural Resources departments. This land transfer
was found to be acceptable and verbally authorized by all the departments contacted.
After transferring the property we were contacted by additional neighboring homeowners in The Ponds
who were interested in being able to expand their backyards and wanting a similar deal. Currently nine
neighbors are requesting to purchase an area extending the width of their lots a distance of 15' to the
north. Each of these 6 lots are approximately 70' wide which increases each lot by approximately 1050
square feet and is a total of 9821 square feet. Adding the 9821 square feet to the already transferred 3301
square feet reduces are existing open space in the Foothills Residential zone by 13,122 square feet. The
current PDP submittal designates 8.22 acres or 54 % of the RF zone as open space. The 13,122 square
foot transfer would reduce the RF open space by .30 acres or 2%, leaving a 51 % open space designation
in the RF zone. Under the Foothills Residential zone definition, only 50% is required. This transfer does
not effect the 4.57 acres of open space in the LMN zone or the Citys 3.7 acre detention pond.
