Thanks, and let me know if we should meet to discuss any of this. Erica Erica Saunders Environmental Planner City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Program 215 North Mason P.O.

They are fine with them, and have approved us to proceed to mylars. I did leave some full size print sets and wanted to check with you to make sure you are OK with everything. If you would like for me to meet with you, I certainly can. Thanks!

I do have a few questions... this will look like a lot of writing, but I think all of these can be cleared up pretty quickly! 1. I'm a little confused about the placement of the natural habitats and features buffer zone and the LOD line. First, is there actually a buffer zone line? It looks like an area is just labeled and I'm assuming it extends to the lot line? But then how much of Tract G is included in the buffer zone? The LOD is generally the property line, and it looks like the buffer line is along the back of the lots bordering Tract G, making the entire buffer zone on the property within the LOD. This makes it difficult to figure out what parts of the buffer zone will be left undisturbed and which will be disturbed. I see old notes from Dana saying to relocate the buffer zone to the west edge of the trail but it currently appears to extend to the lot boundaries. I'm not sure what the previous discussion on this was, but how will areas of the buffer zone that are not to be disturbed be designated as such? 2. Along the same lines, will you actually be re -seeding everything lakeside of the 12' trail? Or is some of this to remain undisturbed? In particular I'm wondering about the area within the "Edge of Wetlands Stantec 2006" line (also shown on the grading plans as existing wetland). This is currently shown as being seeded with a dryland seed mix ... I'm guessing this is not actually the case, right? 3. More on landscape plans for the buffer zone: In the" Response to FDP staff review comments dated June 21, 2007," response to Comment 120, you said that a revegetation plan for the buffer zone (Tract G) had been completed. Is there actually a written "plan" (e.g., something that we can attach as an exhibit to the Development Agreement), or were you referring to the general landscape plans for this area? There are a few things that we will need to include: a. Seed mixes, making sure that everything planted in the buffer zone is native varieties. (notes from Dana saying this was needed in his comments for staff meeting dated June 6, 2007) b. Standards for successful establishment of vegetation- this would include both establishment of the grasses based on coverage and survivorship of the shrubs (if something has not already been created we can put some standard language in the DA) file://C:\Documents and Settings\solt\Local Settings\Temp\GWJ0000I.HTM 6/28/2010 0 Steve Olt - Re: Waters Edge • Page 1 of 4 From: Terence Hoaglund <hoaglund@vignettestudios.com> To: Erica. Saunders <ESAUNDERS@fcgov.com> Date: 6/28/2010 11:39 AM Subject: Re: Waters Edge CC: "John Gooch" <johng@apex-engineer.com>, "Susan Joy" <sjoy@fcgov.com>, "Steve Olt" <SOLT@fcgov.com> Erica, I too am a little confused about the placement of the buffer zone line. I am looking through older files to see if I can find it. If not, we will have to establish it. I am fine with placing it at the edge of trail. As for existing conditions, this entire area was overlot graded with Richard's Lake Filing One, stopping at the edge of trail (which exists today as a two -track road). The edge of trail was what we originally agreed with Doug, and the Dana would be edge of grading. One exception would be the existing drainage easement into the lake that we will reuse, which is why the LOD extends into the lake at that point. We also agreed to remove the Russian Olive and Tamarisk trees along the lake edge, even though it is not all on our property. I will adjust the seeding areas to remove them from the wetlands, and will add seeding mixes and specs. I have those already.
