Dear Mr. Ludwig,
There is a matter of concern brought to our attention that I am informed
that a letter to you might help. We sure hope it will. I'll try to explain as well as possible.
My family and I are residents of Ft. Collins now for four years. We came to Ft.
Collins seeking to raise our children in a small western town of dignity and ethical value.
My husband and I are business owners in Ft. Collins. We were very fortunate to start our
lives over in a wonderful town that is prosperous.
We though have very special needs as home -owners. We need to live in the
country as we also have a kennel to raise a special breed of hunting dogs. I need to work
in town and the children go to school. So we needed to live close enough to not have it so
inconvenient to do so. We were very fortunate to have found our lot after a long, hard
search. This property is south of Trilby, off of S. Shields St. All of our neighbors have
similar plots of land. We all have similar needs.
Now we are being threatened by a developer to put strips of condos, three houses
per acre, and a shopping strip next to our rural homes! This obviously hasn't been thought
through very thoroughly.
As having two people oriented businesses, ( Home Builder & Hairdresser) we are
very aware of what people are looking for in this town and what is appropriate in different
areas. This obviously has a lot of residents in this town high:_v upset. It is horrible planning
to let this kind of development go through. It's not good to subject sub -division dwellers
right next to country settings with noisy dog kennels and horsy stables. We need more
responsible thinking processing the developments around us. As I speak to more and more
people in this town, the more I hear the high demand for more properties like ours is in
great demand. We need more lots available with small acreage's to keep this area most
consistent with the existing urban dwelling it is. This town is being invaded by swarms of
small lots in sub -divisions already. We need more variety to offer. I hope you will
consider how the proposed plan will affect our neighborhood and the ones to come.
Thank you for taking the time to listen. We all will greatly appreciate any help you
can be.
Mark and Nvanna Fischer
