Fort Collins City Planning and Zoning Board
As I am unable to attend the meeting Monday, the 25th due to a
conflict at Foothills Gatewag, I am submitting this letter.
This is in regard to the proposed development Horsetooth West
PUD.
We purchased our home here on Primrose 8 years ago. We were then
attracted by the rural setting, the undesctibable view of Horsef�6
tooth, and the lack of development. We have watched the growth
of Rossborough and seen The Crossroads Shopping Center construc-
ted. We now have a view to the rear of our house, across wonder-
ful open fields, of a liquor store.
I am very much opposed to further development and increased traf-
fic in our area. Had we decided to be a Dart of the hustle and
bustle of town, we would have purchased a come within %he city
limits, say on the "East Side".
I see no need for another shopping center. The two on the inter-
section of Drake and Shields are not yet filled to capacity. I
do not want to see another open field fall to multi -level apart-
ments, when there are so many rentals available and not filled to
capacity now. I do understand the growing needs of Poudre R-1
and the burdens of existing schools. I would not like to see a
school built in my neighborhood, but object least to this part
of the proposal, because there is a proven need.
