If we say that this won: 'mono here, I think that we are being presumptions. Ft. Collins 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. think absolutely nothing about driving out there, and I personally am very thankful that it is that far away and I would lire to see the one Vlest of tovm kept two or three miles l,fest, if it is necessary at all. i.1_r.

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. Georgeten. HOlter (Colorado realestate broker, owner of Modern Plumbin,q and Hea`inq in. c-. , and owner of apartment units In the EillOtz miller Suldlvl- slOn. February 4, 1971 v �1 Chuck Davis was present and stated they have other rental property in that area, that they could not accommodate the people wanting to rent, stating they have had telephone calls on apartment that are not even built and had to turn away a lot of people. Bruce Miller was present stating there was a definite need for rental units and that they have quite a lot i-nvested, stating that the price range is writhi.n the married college student.

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.
