Example: We continue to give time and materials to help victims of the Windsor tornado recover. Helped four subdivisions (Cornerstone, The Lakes Patio Homes, Greenspire, and Lighthouse). Other examples: Windsor Cheer, DU, Ft. Collins Youth Soccer, Judd K. Fulton Foundation, Poudre Fire Authority, and more • Proposed screened parking would be roughly 425 feet off of Highway 392 • Looking to use the property virtually as is...while making the recommended changes and additions from the referral agencies and Planning Department. 2009-0172 EXHIBIT 7 I/ , A • • • • Main hold up with approval of our USR-1667 appears to be the Town of Windsor's recommendation for denial. o We understand fully the goals and plans of the Cooperative Planning Area (CPA) and Exhibit D. We agree that they are necessary and valuable. That is part of the reason for our interest in this property. In this situation we feel they are unrealistic and limiting due to our proposed plans. o Attempts to come to an understanding or compromise for the future of this property stalled, as Windsor decided to stick with their original referral statement. o We want to use the property virtually as is. Exhibit D, the IGA, and the town of Windsor do not take that into consideration in recommending full adherence to their guidelines. • Many of the same issues have been addressed with USR-1497 (Bighorn Landscape Supply) across the street. o USR-1497 had virtually same recommendations from the IGA and referral agencies as us. o USR 1497 was approved on June 16, 2006 by Weld County. o The project across the street required many more property changes and development than our proposal. • • • 3 E3� t0 t0 2 t0 mN 0 Hord 5EU O ,18 vov at 9 ; pg R$i 1 gsf sa tq A X 4 8 ag a I STAR NaAMY 312 NaoOWOVE Jaa W • • FWD tarp?

I could not find any permits for the storage buildings; therefore the County will require a permit for change of use of both structures. Any other question pleases call. Frank Original Message From: £oothillslandscape@comcast.net [mailto:foothillslandscape@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 11:32 AM To: Frank Piacentino Subject: usr-1667 Hello Frank - Hopefully this e-mail finds you well and having a good holliday season. I wanted to send you a follow-up email regarding a phone conversation we had regarding or USR-1667. We have an upcoming date with the County Commissioners and wanted to finalize a couple of details. Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you may recall we discussed your referral letter in which you sent to the County in August.... You requested a letter to better state our intended use of the three buildings .on this site. We submitted it, and had not heard anything back. During our phone conversation you stated that our intended uses sounded ok. You stated that the house would likely need a permit pulled on it prior to the change of use, but the shop and garage were ok. We discussed what might happen with the permit on the house. You gave me some insight into what might happen on such an old structure. It sounded like it should'nt be too big a deal. At the time I requested an e-mail from you to recap our discussion. I do not believe it ever came through. I am hoping to see if this e-mail seems correct and you had any further insight into the proposed use of a 1929 house as a commercial structure. Again thank you for your time.... Nate Caldwell FLM • Hello
