Dear Planning and Zoning Board:
We are concerned about the proposed development on the 14.54 acre
parcel of land that was our family's for over 33 years. We realize that
progress is going to change many things in our community, and that
the population will continue to grow in our area for many many years.
Our worry is that 25 houses on 14.5 acres is too many homes for the
proposed one road access across from Fossil Creek Drive; and that this
area would fit into the environment with at least 1 acre per home site. This
is in keeping with the Ridge, Applewood, Adair Estates, Scenic Knolls, and
the Clarindon Hills area that contains 1 acre parcels. Their are many people
who would prefer to purchase these home sites, especially in light of
the possibility of The Old Franz farm being turned into a natural area and
trails system. It is time to preserve our area for our young people, we need
to hang onto some of the past and preserve it, especially when our fast
lifestyle is constant, and will continue to change well into the 21 st Century.
We do not wish to cause Dr. Wuerker any distress or discomfort, as he is a
fine man. Our main hope is that the development will fit into the beauty
of this farm and surrounding areas. With large sites of at least an acre, and
covenants that make the area compatible with the other developments, it
will enhance the look of this addition, and the City of Fort Collins.
Sincerely,
Jim, Sandy, & Matt Robbins
