Perhaps the discussions will suggest new ideas and approaches. If we reach agreement on any changes, Jim is committed to amending the preliminary PUD plan to reflect such changes. Thanks, Rob, for your willingness to work with Jim and his consultants to help satisfactorily resolve natural resource issues. By: LAL/glr cc: Jim McCory Frank Vaught sincerely, MARCH & MYATT, P.C.

MARCH 1908-1981 MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. BOX 469 FORT COLLINS, CO 80522-0469 VIA FAX TO 224-6177 This letter is to confirm that, if the Waterfield Preliminary PUD is approved, Country Club Farms, LLC, the owner and developer of the PUD property, will continue to explore with City staff between preliminary and final approvals the following items: (1) Possible purchase by the City of the on -site wetlands, a portion of the single-family lots around the wetlands or the entire PUD property; (2) Possible realignment and/or reclassification of County Road 11 in, order to maximize the wetland buffer area; and (3) Possible shifting of the -park and/or school sites. Although Jim McCory is willing to discuss a possible purchase of land by the City, he believes it would be difficult to arrive at an acceptable price on a purchase of all or a portion of only the single-family lots in the PUD because of extremely high infrastructure costs and the fact that the multi -family units are all affordable housing. A purchase of the wetlands and buffer area may be more realistic. I should also stress that it may be difficult to do much with relocating the school and/or park sites since deeds to those parcels have already been dedicated, unless the City were to purchase the entire PUD property.
