Attention: Mr. Steve Olt
Acting Director of Current Planning
City of Fort Collins, Colorado 80522
Dear Mr. Olt,
My name is Rosita Bachmann and 1 am the owner of a property located at 300 Smith
Street in Fort Collins. Three years ago I was approved for a plat for my property and
intended construction of three new units at 300 Smith shortly after. Sadly enough the
economy changed for the worst at the same time. After consultation with a focus group of
ten community business leaders in Fort Collins and my banker, I decided to postpone the
project until a better economic time. Three years later, the economy has not improved to
the level where I can start this project and complete it with success (selling of the units). I
would like to ask for an extension of one year to see if the market changes in my favor.
I understood by my assigned city planner that a request of this nature is possible under
the City rules. I thus request a one year extension to start the project. As you know,
getting ready to build is an expensive proposition in terms of development cost and time.
I still want to build but not in this market.
Please advise me of your decision.
Sincerely,
i
