has the option to prevent this type of thing. I believe that
this express -way anywhere along the West side of Ft. Collins
carries with it the potential of very grave consequences. It'
takes me approximately six miles of driving now to get from our
business out to the freeway east of ton to go to Denver.

am very thankful that it is that far away and I would lire to

would have a situation where we would have 10-2ollution e',-iscdas

was based on the premise that we have a Freeway West o_ FY. Collins.

City of Fort Collins
City Counsel
Dear Counsel Members.
It has been brought to my attention that the passing for approval
of a subdivision owned by Alvin Miller and located west of over-
land trail, has been tabled for a period of time to see ghat be-
comes of the proposal for a new highway located in that same area.
Therefore I am writing to let you know what my opinion of this
act of tabling this is and what it will mean to me as well as
several people I know, and to many newcomers to the Fort Collins
area this next summer and fall.
The Elliott -Miller subdivision located just East of == _= In
the same area has experienced some very successful planning, build-
ing of new rental units, and use by the occupants who occupy them.
Its by my belief that some of the nicest rental units available in
the Fort Collins, Area are located here.
Governing by the number of times my telephone rings each day by
someone asking for some type of rental unit or another to h ccuny,
Fort Collins at this time is still in need for more of the same
type of housing that has been built across the road from the sub-
ject property. This area in the past has lent itself to lot prices
of almost one half the amount that is asked for the same size of lot
on the East side of Fort Collins. I believe this to be very import-
ant to the people needing medium priced housing as well as any
builder or owner wanting to own them.
Tabling of the plans for this subdivision at this time can only
mean delaying the actual construction of new homes for someone
that is in need of them at this immediate time. if this plan was
approved now at this time it would mean that actual construction
could be under way in time for new units to be available for the
to the new
rush of 1971. Waiting to
proposal seems to me as a much wasted time. This thing has been
see ghat happens
hanging in fire for a fear years now for what Z know about it it
can still be in the preliminary stages a year from now.
Not knowing of anyother lots available for sale for multiple family,
on the west side of fort Collins, and knowing the need of these s
type of lots, to builders, concrete people, bricklayers, plumbers,
electricians, painters, floor covering people, realestate people,
families; I would urge approval for
heating contractors, students,
the filing of this subdivision at this time.
Sincerely yours.

telephone calls on apartment that are not even built and had to turn away a lot of people.

Chuck Davis asked w1hy do we want two highways in an 8 mile span. Mayor Carson
stated we have to leave this up to the Committee and if we accept that policy, it will be
done. Mr. Davis stated that this was brought up about a year ago. Mayor Carson stated
that there was a lot of personal feelings about this. Bruce Mi-lbr stated that they opposed thi
highway going through, that we have been held up a great deal already and could be longer
yet. Alvin Miller stated ajsd and that they started in March. He stated he had
talked to the City Manager and he felt it would not be on Overland Trail.
Councilman Kruchten stated Mr. Miller had been delayed many times last year, that
unless we can get a decision, we cannot procrastinate any longer. Mayor Carson stated
that he thinks we should set a dead line and be able to say that a decision has been reached-.
Councilman Troxell stated he was opposed to any more delay of the Committee or the Boards
and felt we should ask our administration the results of the.decisions'and that we are
interfering with a development that was made in good faith. He stated that Mr. Miller has
made these committments, that we get a decision of the Committee and maybe a special
meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board in order to resolve this. Motion was made by
'Councilman Kruchten, seconded by Councilman Troxell, that this matter be brought to a head in
