Dear Ms Clarkson,
We are the planners and landscape architects for the Sunshine House at Bucking
Horse. On April 18, 2019 this project was approved by the City of Fort Collins Planning
and Zoning Board with two conditions for approval. One of those conditions was to
mitigate headlight from cars exiting the Sunshine House parking lot and shining across
Miles House into lots 10 and 11 of Filing Two.
As an owner of one of these lots we are contacting you to propose the required extra
landscape mitigation for your lot. Below we have photos and plans that show current
landscaping on and adjacent to your lot and how this relates to the Sunshine House
parking lot exit.
The developer, Bellisimo Inc., is willing to provide the extra landscaping either on or
off of your property at no expense to you, the owner. The goal of the planting will
be to quickly mitigate headlight intrusion year round, thus evergreen shrub species
have been chosen as they will provide better headlight screening at a faster rate than
evergreen trees.
If you have concerns over what is being proposed or wish to speak into which
proposed species is planted please respond either in writing, by phone or email
by July 31, 2019. If a response is not submitted by this time plant species will be
determined by the landscape architect and planted within the HOA area adjacent to
your rear lot property line.
If you have any question please feel free to call Russell + Mills Studios or Rebecca
Everette with the City of Fort Collins.
Best regards,
Shelley La Mastra, RLA
