There is a lot more things to consider here. If the developer goes ahead as planned,
with your blessing, the ramifications of a developed project of this caliber, (high -
density, & commercial applications) would make an extremely negative impact on
everything and everyone surrounding it. Even common sense tells you that a "high -
density" development project out in this Farming area is preposterous to say the least!!
A "low -density ", non-commercial project would definatly be a more positive approach,
and would be more consistant with the present properties.
Please reassure us that the city cannot be "bribed" by gifts of useless land near the
rail -road tracks by prospective developers trying to earn most of their merit points.
(This "gift" of land which was given as "open space" area is not at all a useful nor
visable piece of land to promote a feeling of open -area. This gift of land is in a very
"low-lying" area which, being right next to the rail -road tracks, and in a wet- land
area, will be absolutely worthless for any kind of positive use.) Thank you for your
wisdom and consideration of some very important issues concerning this project.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir,
This letter is in regards to the planning & zoning Board review of the "Registry Ridge"
proposed development at Trilby Road west, and South Shields St. Our family and
neighbors are strongly against any "high density" projects beingpresented by this
developer. The proposed plan of a "Strip -Mail", 700 houses, condos, etc. on this
property is absolutely.inappropriate & inconsistant with surrounding acerages and
properties.
We live on five beautiful acres one half mile south of Trilby, and we are zoned
"Farming" as is the case with a lot of our surrounding neighbors. Our property backs
up to the open "Wet -lands. The wild -life, birds, and such are beautiful and for the
most part, untouched out here. We relalize that the development to the north of us on
the "wheat strips" may eventually happen, but let it be done in a "low density"fashion
such as acerages, etc. which would be more consistant with the land and to help
preserve the beauty that is out here and the way of life we have all come to enjoy. In
addition, the proposed corridor to the south and the Cathy Fromme "Open space" to
the north makes this dense housing development & commercial area even more
inappropriate.
Please consider these issues, they are very valid to all of us, and most of all they are
valid to the future of this area and the preservation of beauty, nature, peace, and some
"openess" to break the monotony of development after development after development
which seems to be having an extreme impact on the Loveland & Ft. Collins areas. We
all realize that development must occour in a Community for the welfare of many,
but ....... you must use wisdom and control on how much development takes place, what
type of development, how dense the development, and most important... the location of
the proposed project.
We beseech you sir, to please consider all the issues and concerns regarding the type of
development that is being proposed hereby the developer. We all know that the main
interest
