Fort Collins City Council
300 LaPorte Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80521
Dear Mayor Troxell, Mayor Pro Tem Horak, and Council Members Overbeck,
Martinez, Campana, Stephens and Cunniff;
You are slated to consider Ordinance No. 044, 2016, Amending Chapter 12 of the
Code of the city of Fort Collins Related to Particulate Matter Emissions and
Ordinance No. 045, 2016, Amending the Fort Collins Land Use Code by the
Addition to Provisions Pertaining to Dust Prevention and Control at your meeting
on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
encourages you to vote against these ordinances.
We would recommend adopting the Dust Control Manual as a guide and educating
the construction industry on the best practices associated with dust mitigation.
Adopting regulations that are unnecessary and duplicative of state and county
regulations simply so that they can be enforced locally makes no sense. As well,
the adoption of the regulations will add to the costs of projects in Fort Collins -
including new homes at a time when affordability is already a concern.
We look forward to your "no" vote on this issue.
Sincerely,
Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
David L. May
President & CEO
