College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Ted, i t193 Attached are revisions to the Mountain Ridge Farms Second Filing, revised in response to City staff and agency review comments. The comments made and revisions requested on the PDP have been addressed as follows: It is true that the governing preliminary had shown 245,130 SF of active open space area, however a portion of that active open space was outside of the boundary of the proposed second filing. We have prepared a graphic that illustrates this, showing the original active open space compared to where the second filing boundaries are proposed. As part of that graphic, we have also illustrated that within the boundary of the second filing, there was 156,021 SF of active open space, with this proposal providing 168,743 SF of active open space, for a net gain of 12,722 SF. 0 K 2.

Meetings with the City Forester have determined that these trees have been damaged by lightning etc., only have a limited life span, and may become a hazard in the very near future, particularly around homes and streets.
