Cannon, heirs and/or assigns: Dear Terry: We understand that you have filed an application with the City of Fort Collins to change the zoning of Tract A to NC. As owner of Rigden Farm Tract O, we support the rezone of Tract A from MMN to NC. Larry Haw Owner Tract O Paula Hawe Owner Tract O IMBERLINE C H U R C H 2908 S. Timberline Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 February 8, 2007 To Whom It May Concern: Timberline Church shares a common property line with Rigden Farm, Tract A at the northwest corner of its property. It is our understanding that paperwork has been submitted to the City of Fort Collins to change the zoning on Rigden Farm Tract A from MMN to NC. It is also our understanding that the applicant, Terry Connor, desires the NC zoning on Tract A for the purposes of constructing "sit-down" restaurants and possibly a bank. Timberline Church has no objection to the rezoning application, and in fact supports it. We believe that NC zoning on Tract A is more appropriate than the current MMN zoning. Free standing restaurants will compliment the uses already existing in the King Sooper's anchored shopping center and will enhance the uses we anticipate for Tract P (retail, office, medical). There are no sit-down restaurants north of Harmony on Timberline, and we believe that Rigden Farm needs that use to make it a viable live -work community. Sincerely yours, Wallace W.
