Dear W. Shepard:
Regarding the proposed Frazier Subdivision. In the past suggested developments of this
property did not include enough parking commensurate with the number of adults expected to
reside here. This would be our chief comment, that the proposed subdivision would include
one parking unit per expected adult resident, in this case, more than 100 parking units
because of the multiple bedrooms per each housing unit.
In the neighborhood bounded by Whitcomb, Shields, Prospect, and Spring Creek, parked
cars fill every available curb space in the first two streets, Whitcomb, and Prospect Ln. when
CSU is in session. If the proposed subdivision does not have adequate parking, the new residents
will be searching along those same streets and enlarged area for parking. This can only have
more adverse effects on our neighborhood already besieged by multi -resident rentals and corner -
to -corner parking during school term.
Because of the large number of rentals available near CSU and even in the outlying areas,
perhaps this is not the best time to begin construction of yet more housing units.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Tillery t
