Hi Steve,
Thank -you very much for your time today. I appreciate all the information.
I have a remaining concern about the Bella Vira development- the
proposed multi -family residences. I feel that in most Fort Collins
neighborhoods that townhomes/condos are located, there is an influx of
investors who buy mainly to rent these units. Together with the
townhomes/condos located directly across Overland Trail, this could
bring a student/rental population into our neighborhood which could
potentially decrease the "family orientation" of the neighborhood, cause
home owners in the Ponds to move, and consequently bring down the
overall property value.
I have two acquaintances who are currently moving from the Sienna
neighborhood (located directly east of the Ponds across Overland Trail)
because the neighborhood has become more of a rental area than an owner
occupied neighborhood. On its border is a new townhouse/condo development.
I understand that the townhouses proposed to be built in Bella Vira are
to be high value townhomes. Although some will argue that a high value
townhome will be sold as owner occupied units because of their high
cost, this is not entirely valid. In the before mentioned Sienna
neighborhood, the cost of homes are in the mid-200's and this
neighborhood is becoming more and more non -owner occupied.
I would appreciate the consideration towards not approving townhomes in
the Bella Vira neighborhood, but instead keeping it as single family
residences.
Sincerely,
Corinna Cincotta
