Dear Mr. Waido:
Unfortunately we were not able to attend the public hearing on May 18, 1987 on
the proposed annexations and zonings commonly referred to as Taft Canyon -
First Annexation and Zoning #21-87A and Taft Canyon - Second Annexation and
Zoning #21-87B. We do have at least one concern with these proposed
annexations; so hopefully this letter does not reach you too late for your
consideration in this matter.
The map included with your letter announcing the public hearing showed no exit
from the new lower part of the Taft Canyon Subdivision to either Taft Hill Road
or West Horsetooth Road other than the two eisting exits through the upper part
of the Taft Canyon Subdivision. This plan implies that all traffic to the
lower part of Taft Canyon Subdivision will have to go by the corner of
Picadilly and Idledale Drives, near which we live. Not only will this increase
traffic on these narrow drives to unacceptable levels for safety and noise
reasons, but it also could create an access problem in the event of any
emergency in the lower part of the Taft Canyon Subdivision.
We also do not understand why the proposed areas would be annexed without
annexing the existing Taft Canyon Subdivision at the same time. Why create a
pocket of unannexed area?
Our understanding of the proposed annexations may be in error. If so, please
let us know. And your office may not be the final decision maker on these
matters, but until they are cleared up in our minds, we will continue to oppose
the proposed annexations.
Sincerely,
Bruce Bolliger and Lisa
Curtis

Dear Interested Person: PLANNINGDEPARTMENT
The Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort '6bllins, Colorado, on
Monday, May 18, 1987*, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers**, New City
Hall, will hold a public hearing on proposed annexations and zonings in
your neighborhood. The proposed projects are commonly referred to as Taft
Canyon - First Annexation and Zoning, #21-87A and Taft Canyon - Second
Annexation and Zoning #21-87B.
The applicants are requesting a first annexation and zoning which would
consist of approximately .4 acres and zoned T-Transitional and a second
annexation and zoning which would consist of approximately .642 acres and
zoned T-Transitional. Both annexations and zonings are located south of
Horsetooth Road, 1/2 mile west of Taft Hill Road, along the west and south-
ern boundary of the Taft Hill Canyon Subdivision.
Both the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Planning Staff consider
your input on this matter an extremely important element in the City's
review of this proposal. If you are unable to attend this meeting, written
comments are welcome.
This letter has been sent as a courtesy to all property owners within 500
feet of the project based on current Larimer County tax records. If you
should have any questions or require further information about this item,
please feel free to contact me at 221-6750.
Sincerely,
Ken Waido
