CURRENT PLANNING
Dear Troy,
I tried to send this via email, but for some unknown reason it did not send.
Anyway, I was glad to speak with you yesterday. After I talked with Brock Chapman I
realized I would not be able to attend the meeting on Thursday evening.. I am leaving the
next morning, but I did not realize how early I had to be at the airport.
I went to the first presentation meeting at the Fort Collins High School when the
subdivision being planned for the northwest corner of Drake and Timberline was
presented. Of course, I would prefer the corner stay as farmland, but given a choice I am
delighted to find that homes will be built on that corner and NOT any kind of commercial
business. Homes mean grass and trees.
The northeast corner at Horsetooth and Timberline was designated for business
when the plans were first announced for the Fort Collins High School, and it still sits there
with just McDonalds. The Rigden Farm proposal has business planned for the immediate
southeast corner and there has been no sign of anything happening there either. One mile
to the west is the large Toddy's Shopping Center, which quite often has empty spaces for
rent. Therefore I can see no reason for any commercial business being at that northwest
comer.
So for this proposed subdivision on the northwest corner I am pleased that homes
will be built and the plans for further north on the property are for medical/business type
office buildings with landscaping.
I am extremely sorry that I cannot attend the meeting and I hope this positive
response will be passed along.
Beth Nelson
