Re.: Proposed development of Strachan/Shields properties
Dear Ted,
We appreciate your meeting with us the other day. We do regret
that the people making the decisions that affect us could not also be
present. Is there any way that your office could get the members of the
planning board to look at our "neighborhood" before a.decision is made?
We have tried to follow the guidelines as set forth in the LDGS
brochure which suggest keeping informed and giving "citizen" input but so
far we have been unable to get much response. We believe we are acting
fairly and we are only asking for what has been set forth in agreements
made by the city and county. There are several things that support what
we have asked of those making these important decisions. However, the
most concise, perhaps, is the statement found in the Intergovernmental
Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area which was published
in 1980. It states specifically "New residential development in the
Urban Growth Area shall mitigate potential negative impacts on adjacent
existing residential development by maintaining the character and density
of the existing development along common boundries." We would hope the
planning and zoning board could see our "neighborhood" so they would know
that the proposed development is not in accordance with the Intergovernmental
Agreement and could then make a decision which would conform to the agree-
ment.
We would appreciate any help you could give us in this matter.
Sincerely,,
Mrs. David (Sandra) Thomas
for the Poudre Ridge Neighborhood
