Dear Mr. Shepard,

July 28, 1993
I'm writing to you in response to the proposal to build the monolithic hiqh
densi�ty apartment str.ucture currently titled Spring Creek Village. As noted in
my previous letters reqarding the same type of struc"ture, I feel that it's a
travesty. It's in proximity to several relatively quiet family neighborhoods.
This is a developers dream with high density, uniform age group entertaining a
relatively loud polluting crowd.-
I object to the building of such a structure near Shields and Prospect, Sheeley
subdivision and Hillpond subdivision because of its incompatibility with local
family nature. As mentioned in the town meeting, Monday, July 26, 1993 there is
a uniform dissatisfaction with the developer concept. It is not compatible with
the Iocal neighborhoods as it will never be intermingling of the transient popu-
lation with adjacent neighborhoods comprising a wide age group and-socioeconomic
classes. Adjoining open space is already quite filled to capacity and a struc-
ture of this magnitude will certainly overwhelm the city resources. The Spring
Creek is a unique eco-structure. Hiqh density housing would probably destroy its
allure.
As a new professional in Fort Collins, I feel that maintaining the peaceful, safe
nature of parks, recreation and neighborhoods is essential. This project is a
developers dream to maximize income. I feel that if it is passed despite the ob-
jections of all the neighbors, .then our right of " due process " is being
ridiculed.
I will yet again be present at another meeting on August 23, 1993 regarding this
- issue. I still think it is " just another college park ".
Sincerely,
CME/hkb
Christopher M. Eriksen, M.D.
