This letter concerns the proposed Horsetooth West/Silver Oaks
Development. This subdivision has many area residents very concerned for
a number of reasons.
1. Taft Hill Road - This street currently has such high volume traffic that
people residing north of the proposed development may wait 10 to 15
minutes to gain access onto Taft. We feel this street in it's current
design cannot take the additional traffic created by such a development.
2. Auntie Stone St. - Under the current design, vehicles will funnel out
onto Auntie Stone St., which is already a very congested street during the
school year. In addition, there is no crossing guard, light, etc. at the
intersection of Auntie Stone and Horsetooth Rd. where hundreds of
children cross to attend Olander Elementary every day. The safety of our
children is at stake.
3. Olander Elementary - Pr-1 has no way to accomodate the children of
this proposed development with its present building scheme. These
children are designated to attend 01ander Elementary. For the 92-93
school year Olander is full and may need mobile units to provide adequate
classrooms for the large number of students already enrolled.
In closing we ask for your consideration in our request to delay the
approval of this development until these concerns are resolved.
Sincerely,
