Rules and regulations would be as adopted and jointly approved by both HOA's. f. If we can receive a letter of agreement in principle to the open space development ideas outlined above, we will proceed with proposed landscape - gazebo plans and budgets for our joint discussion and review. 5. Planning Commission meeting - 6:30 p.m., Monday, January 24th, City Council Chambers, 300 LaPorte. We are second on the agenda and will probably not be on before 7:00 p.m. We want and need members of the Indian Hills West neighborhood to speak in favor of our proposed Indian Hills Village project at this meeting. . Your neighborhood support for our project is very important. We want to move ahead with a high quality planned project of mostly detached single family homes as we have proposed, rather than a more conventional townhouse type project. To do this and get the project on the existing site is very difficult, in particular because of the existing water and sewer lines and the landscape buffers on the east and west which are to be maintained: Accordingly, we have requested a variance permitting the on -street parking space width to be reduced from eight feet to seven feet. This is imperative to make the project fit on the site. We think it is reasonable because seven foot parking space width is commonly used in many Denver metropolitan cities and because most cars can easily park within a seven foot wide space. Your specific support at the Planning Commission meeting regarding this variance would be -appreciated. MOM. 3. Letter to City regarding common boundary landscaping The City requires a letter from the Indian Hills West Board of Directors more or less as follows: a. Approving Indian Hills Village installation of landscaping south of common boundary as per proposed landscape plan and grants an easement for access for installation of same. b. Specifics regarding irrigation and maintenance will be worked out jointly between Indian Hills West HOA, Indian Hills Village HOA, and developer. 4. Proposed Indian Hills West open space improvements a. As we have previously discussed, an opportunity exists for our mutual benefit regarding the improvement of the approximate half acre of Indian Hills West open space located in the northwest corner of Indian Hills West property. Indian Hills Village drainage plan calls for drainage of all water from site, including Indian Hills West water, to the north under Stuart Street and directly into Spring Creek. This eliminates the need. for detention ponds and reduces the possibility of , super -saturated soil after heavy rainfalls, making this open space more appropriate for a private open space / park use. b. We propose that this half acre site be graded and landscaped primarily with sod and shade trees, and that possibly a gazebo be located providing a sheltered destination point for relaxing or picnicking. Your suggestions and ideas are invited on this. If we are in agreement in principle, we can proceed with a proposed plan and budget. C. We would propose splitting the cost of installation (including landscape design and ten percent supervision - overhead factor) and subsequent maintenance costs 50 - 50 between Indian Hills West HOA and Indian Hills Village HOA / developer. d. Ownership of landscaping and gazebo would be by Indian Hills West as it is located on IHW property. e. Usage of these improvements would be jointly by residents of LAGUNITAS COMPANY 3307 S.

Common boundary landscaping a. As we have previously discussed, we will install landscaping at our cost along our common boundary. We need your approval of our proposed landscape plan which includes some landscaping located on Indian Hills West common property and also your suggestions as to specific types of trees and /or placement of same. b. The ownership of landscaping located south of our common boundary would be by Indian Hills West. C. Irrigation, as necessary, could be tied into either Indian Hills West existing irrigation system or Indian Hills Village landscaped irrigation, as is most practical. d. Maintenance of landscaping which is installed south of boundary could be handled two ways: I. Indian Hills West HOA takes care of, as such landscaping is located on IHW property, or II. Indian Hills Village HOA takes care of, in which case an easement for maintenance access would be required.
