RE: Our Rigden Farm Project
Portions of Section 29, T7N, R68W
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Hilt,
I received your letter of November 25th and would like to respond. When we met with the Board
of The North Poudre Irrigation Company on May 5, 1998, we discussed the possibility of using
the Fossil Creek Inlet ditch as part of our project. At that time the Board voted that they were
amenable, in principle, to allowing the Fossil Creek Inlet ditch to flow into and then out of a lake
on the property. We all agreed that we would need to formalize things in writing if and when we
had a plan which was acceptable to the Board.
Planning has taken much longer than we had hoped for this project. Last week we received a
recommendation from the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board for our proposed zoning of the
property. We will go before City Council for zoning approval on December 15th. If we receive
approval on December 15th, we will go before council for final zoning approval on January 5th.
Once we receive zoning approvals, we can move ahead with civil engineering concepts. The
engineering will determine the feasibility of using the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch as a flow through
lake and detention site. Currently, we are in the process of designing the project. We are
weighing many options and are hopefully getting closer to a workable design, or designs which
we could present to the Board. Right now we have a number of scenarios on the table, some of
which would utilize a ditch/lake format, and some of which would not. We are fully aware that if
we incorporate your client's ditch, in any manner, into the project that we will need to have
written agreements between all pertinent parties.
