Subject: Global Village School review process
Sarah & Ted;
am Ken Koujourian and I live at 3520 Silvertrails Drive. My property abutts the school's
property so I believe that makes us neighbors.
I've lived here almost 15 years and get along well with all of my neighbors on both sides of the
street. I went to the review meeting at Oleander School and asked a few questions and was
brought up to date on the site plans. I see no reason why my newest neighbor, Global Village,
will not be a great next door neighbor also.
I have no hesitation in welcoming them to Silver Oaks.
Several months ago I went thru a similar process when a charter school opened up next to
where I work.
This is in an industrial park one block East of Prospect and Timberline. Of cource we had
questions about their locating in an area with heavy truck traffic and how all the traffic from the
parents droping off and picking up would impact us. We met a few times as inteligent adults
and worked everything out and now we are very good neighbors. I learned that if everyone acts
in a level headed manner with everyone's best interests in mind, every thing can be worked out
and every one will get along just fine.
When the Oleander school was built, it was not the end of the world.
When the city closed off Taft Hill between Horsetooth and Drake and parked all the
construction equiptment on the vacent lot (where Global wants to build) it was temporarily
inconvenient but the resulting new bridge and extra lane was worth the wait and once again
Silver Oaks subdivision remained intact and a great place to live.
When the city decided to develop the 99 acres at the West end of Horsetooth, we all knew the
traffic would increase, but when all was said and done we all loved living within walking
distance of this new world class recreational park. Low and behold, life still did not come to a
screaching halt.
I expect the same to be true long after Global Village is completed.
Thank you for inviting my comments.
