Dear Mr. Walker:
Your letter of March 10 1993 leaves some questions.in
my mind about the proposed project ommonly known as.
IMPALA Village PUD - Preliminary, #0-93.
The applicant is requesting a 58-multi-family units on
8.42 acres, located at Impala Circle north of Mulberry
Street, zoned RL, Low Density Residential.
I,am the owner of property that abuts at the rear onto
this proposed project's acreage. At present there are
horses grazing on the pasture and we have enjoyed the
rural atmosphere of what must have long been agricultural
zoned property. It appears to me that there is enough
money now available in the coffers of the state government'
to create open space for the enjoyment of the numerous
family zoned homes now existing in Tenth Green.. The latter
area of about 36 single-family homes will be down -graded
in value by the imposition of 56 units on a.somewhat smaller
area than Tenth Green's 10 acres.
I have been the subject of complaints because I had a'stove,
in the.lower garden -level of my home and the covenant's
fine print that governs the zoning in Tenth Green does not_
permit me to have a stove in the lower.half of my home. If the
Planning and Zoning Department can find time to answer
about three total neighbors' complaints, instigated by a
neighbor who had wanted to purchase my home but is stymied
because I choose to remain in my home and this seems to bother
her no end, with a resulting threat on April 3, 1992 to fine
me $1,000.00 per day if the stove remained in the lower half
after April 26, then it seems in all fairness that the P and Z
people might consider having single-family homes with similar
restrictions in the Impala Village PUD Preliminary project.
Lacking this, it might be worth your time to think about the
impact of denser building sites on the Poudre R-1 High School,
which is reported by the local media to be expected to double
in size in the not too distant future. The traffic flow in and
out of Poudre High School's parking area is now too congested
by vehicles and needs to be alleviated by a public park instead
of a money -making project for some developer using govern-
ment funds to supplement his own investment.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Veda N. Steadman, longtime resident of Colorado still paying taxes.
