Staff Presentation: Tom Shoemaker, director of Natural Resources
for the City of Fort Collins, presented a slide presentation to
the Board regarding a plan for preserving the region between
Loveland and Fort Collins. Highlights of his summary included:
A plan has been visualized for the last 20 years. It has become a
combined effort of Loveland, Fort Collins, and Larimer County.
The corridor is being defined by Harmony on the north, 57th
Street on the south, Fossil Creek on the east, and the first
hogback on the west.
The corridor would preserve the unique identity of the two
communities; retain the natural wildlife in the area; preserve
the scenic landscapes; and halt the encroaching development in
the area.
An inventory has been completed and mapped of the areas within
• the corridor. A planning influence map was developed as a result.
