Eric thanks for resolving this issue, please make the appropriate changes to the new Mylar and send it on to Steve. Thanks, Doug >>> "EricS" <erics@jimselldesign.com> 5/5/05 4:56 PM >>> Doug, After discussing at length with Jim Newcomb, I think it is reasonable to modify your language to read as follows: RETAINING WALLS VISIBLE FROM THE ADJACENT NATURAL AREA ARE NOT ALLOWED, HOWEVER, SMALL LANDSCAPE WALLS OR TERRACES BUILT FROM PRODUCT OF NEUTRAL COLOR ARE PERMISSABLE IF CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE LOT LINE. SUCH LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS MUST BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 3 FEET IN HEIGHT AND ARE SUBJECT TO HOA APPROVAL. LANDSCAPE PLANTINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORT COLLINS NATIVE PLANT LIST SHOULD BE INCORPORATED TO BLEND THE WALLS WITHIN A 5-YEAR ESTABLISHMENT PERIOD. LANSCAPE PLANTINGS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO HOA APPROVAL. Please call me to discuss if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thanks Doug, Eric M. Skowron, P.E. Jim Sell Design, Inc. 153 W.

I can argue that many homes are built around the world with difficult topography not using retaining walls. I would prefer that we not get into that and that we resolve this issue. I understand your challenges and you know mine. Can you work on my statement to make it livable for the both of us? I'm open to try, send me a revised statement and let's try to quickly work this out.
