Re: State Highway 14/East Frontage Road Annexation
Dear Board Members:
RECEIVED
DEC 10 2002
CURRENT PLANNING
As the developer of the Clydesdale Park Subdivision, contiguous to the above referenced
proposed annexation and LMN, Low Density Mixed Use zoning, we would like to express our
support for this annexation and the LMN zoning.
Clydesdale is a close to fully improved county subdivision consisting of 216 single-family lots on
80 acres and located directly east of the annexation. The requested LMN zoning is the closest
equivalent to the existing M-1 zoning for Clydesdale and is compatible with our existing
subdivision.
In the course of developing Clydesdale, we were required by the county to extend the collector
road (Carriage Parkway) running through our subdivision from State Highway 14 all the way to
the east property line of this annexation. This north -south collector will cross the subject property
and eventually extend to Prospect Road. A 12 inch water line is in Carriage Parkway and also to
the east property line of the annexation.
Our builders are experiencing a strong demand for houses from families that want proximity to
Interstate 25 and easy access to Downtown Fort Collins. This annexation would provide
additional, much -needed housing easily accessible to the interstate. Also, the extensive amount
of acreage in the vicinity and available for retail and employment uses would seem to support
additional opportunities for residential uses of the LMN density in this area east of I-25.
We support the State Highway 14/East Mulberry Annexation and LMN zoning for the above -
stated reasons, and urge the Board's approval.
