Part (v) We believe that North College is in dire need of a public gathering space and entertainment venue that is pedestrian -friendly. To use the needs of the city for more natural landscapes and water detention as an opportunity to expand our capacity to entertain local regional residents as a destination venue seems to make a lot of sense. Part (vii) We do not believe we will have any conflicts with wetlands, habitats, or wildlife. Part (viii) No issues were brought up at the Neighborhood Meeting held in August 2015 that we recall.

In order to meet our parking objectives we have struck agreements with Ken's Muffler, 1235 N College's parking lot and Jax's for 20 spaces each. The Lyric project is located in Zone CS. Under this zone, The Lyric meets the current land use code which states that "Theaters" and "Restaurants" are included in the use options for this site. 1209 N College LLC will manage the use of the building, headed by Ben Mozer, and comprised of the following Co -Owners: ■ Andrew Schneider, PO Box 2151, Fort Collins, CO 80522 ■ Ki Shih, 305 W Magnolia St, #246, Fort Collins, CO 80521 ■ Lex Krausz and Karen Christophersen, 1219 W Magnolia St, Fort Collins, CO 80521 ■ Jim Schafer, 3211 Marcellina Place, Loveland, CO 80537 ■ Clark and Lani Mozer, 2316 Northridge Ct, Fort Collins, CO 80521 ■ Margaret Grant, 119 S Sherwood St, Fort Collins, CO 80521 ■ Alison Mason, 918 Wild Cherry Lane, Fort Collins, CO 80521 1209 N College LLC plans on partnering with CHFA, the City of Fort Collins URA and Kati and Bob Rader to secure a loan from Great Western Bank, in order to construct the building. Part (ii) The Lyric site shall have an outdoor event venue for temporary film presentations during the warmer months. We are incorporating the detention pond as a dual use to serve as an outdoor gathering place to enjoy the movies. The projector screen will be mounted and removed for each event. There are no existing wetland or natural habitats on the site as it was graded at some point. No structures exist on the site. New pathways and landscaping shall enhance the open areas of the new site, provide shading in some areas, and improve the experience for the outdoor venue. The front has a small courtyard for parking bikes and for passersby to stop and rest on.a sitting -level rock accent wall.
