Dear Ms. McArdle and Planning and Zoning Board,
I am writing for myself and my husband in support of the development proposal at 716 Maple
St. We live at the SW corner of Wood and Maple for the last 16 years. We also lived at 426 N. Loomis
for 7 years before that. We are so excited to see all the new housing and improvements going on in our
neighborhood. And we think this project is just another example of new types of housing that can
revitalize a neighborhood that some call "marginal" others simply call "old and neglected." (I'm sad to
say)
This particular project is especially beneficial to our neighborhood because it offers another
type of housing that will increase the diversity of the neighborhood. Also, the new housing near this
project was built by the same contractor (I believe) and appears to be well constructed and "green."
(We have gone to some of the open houses.) So this and the modifications requested leads me to
believe the side -by -side duplexes for this project will also be constructed with energy efficiency and a
modern life style in mind.
I believe this type of project will help our neighborhood be attractive to new neighbors and
allow it to grow and transform as a healthy thriving area of Fort Collins. We will not be able to attend
the meeting on Thursday night and wanted to let you know of our support for the proposal.
Sincerely,
A%
Elizabeth and David Mogen
