The northwesterly rear property corner elevation is 0.3 feet higher, the northerly rear property corner elevation is 0.5 feet higher, the southeasterly front property corner is 0.3 feet higher, the rear yard swale high point elevation is 0.3 feet higher, and the top of foundation elevation is approximately 0.5 feet higher than those shown on the Final Grading Plan. However, the elevations and slopes for Lot 12, Block 1, Bella Vira Subdivision are in conformance with the City of Fort Collins lot grading criteria and the drainage patterns are in general conformance with the City approved Final Grading Plan for Bella Vira. Therefore, it is our professional opinion that the elevation deviations will still allow for stormwater drainage to generally be consistent with the City approved Final Grading Plan.
