HomeMy WebLinkAboutHARMONY RIDGE PUD, PHASE ONE - FINAL - 49-95B - CORRESPONDENCE - STREET RELATED DOCUMENTaccess to our site; two of the major issues which need to be 'resolved with the Harmony Ridge
owners.
Yet again, I believe that we are close Win agreement with the Harmony Ridge group. Since my
conversation with you this morning, I Have received a 14 page agreement from Harmony Ridge's
counsel. I believe that we are within two to three weeks of a final resolution and beseech the city
not to jeopardize the talks by allowing final approval before the ultimate Seneca resolution.
Clearly, the Harmony Ridge owners, the Overlook owner's ARM the city will benefit from a final
solution to the Seneca problem. No doubt,you are hearing the Harmony Ridge side of the Seneca
negotiations. If you would like, 1 would "welcome the opportunity to present our side to you. In
the mean time, if you have any input, please give me a call.
I request that you keep me informed about discussions between the city and Harmony Ridge
owners and please do not allow final P.U.D. approval for Harmony Ridge without our input.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

RE: Harmony Ridge P.U.D.
Dear Steve,
This is"'a`follow-up letter to'our conversation of this morning. tAs:we:discussed, Overlook -.
Development Company is vehemently opposed to allowing final P.U.D. approval of Harmony
Ridge'without a,final.solution.to the Seneca Street entrance. I will try to explain our position.

For;the.past two years.the Harmony Ridge ownersandOverlook Development Company (owner
of thi ,neighborhood convenience center) have been trying to Work out a"mutually acceptablel,
agreement the extension of Seneca' Street througNtHe`Overlook site: 'Early on we believed
that we had an agreement -and proceeded through our Preliminary P.U.D. under that assumption.
Since that time things have fallen apart, been put back together, and fallen apart again on a
number of occasions.. BecauseIour position has never deviated from our 'original agreement with
the Harmony Ridge owners, we are very frustrated with what has transpired-
I have had a number of discussions with you and other city staff members about•ihis matter , Our
last discussion was on May 4th 'at Wheeler's conceptual review meeting' for Poudre Ridge. Af `
that time I was assured that final P.U.D; approval would`not be given io'Harmony Ridge'without
a total resolution of the Seneca issue. However, last week I was inf5rmed by Gib Elkins that the,
city is proceeding with final approval for Harmony Ridge, allowing a temporary access along Old
Harmony in lieu of Seneca Street. Having the city take this position may severely handicap our
negotiations. We need to resolve the Seneca issue once and for all and the P.U.D. approval time
pressure:seems to be bringing the Harmony Ridge owners to the table.
71f approvals is granted to Harmony Ridge without ultimafe resolution:of ttie Seneca issue; our
,preliminary. P ,O D ;is"-plui at risk, Without a binding agreement there exists the possibility that the
Harmony Ridge owners may yet again walk away from the negotiatiom.''�If that happens,'
Overlook Development. Company not receive the south half of Harmony Road and adequate
